The finished guitar:

Although I left out some minor details, like the fret job, installing the saddles, completely rebuilding the tail piece and what not, you get the idea.  In the end there is much more to restoring a guitar, and modifying it to be better in many ways than it ever was when originally made.

Now all that is left, is to show a few pictures of the finished product.  Lets start with the headstock, and move our way down.

Of course I have no way to let you hear it for now, as I still have a lot of work to do on adding sound capability to this site, but I promise you that it plays great and sounds much better than I could hope for, even with the mahogany top, no serious guitar snob would ever be caught alive with:  Their loss.  As far as the owner, well she was so happy that she brought it in to guitar center, and showed it off.  After all they not only could not do the work, but went as far as to say "it could not be done".  Well it is done, and in use by it's proud owner:

Woe!  It's the roaring 20's again!

Wait a minute, color film???  Aha, thats more like it!
