I bought this guitar as a project. It got a new pin bridge, new bridge plate, neck reset, new frets and new tuners. Oh and a new pickguard. It's a great guitar, I played it for a long time as my #1. It shows what these ladder braced guitars can do.

I actually totally forgot I still owned this guitar. I thought I sold it. I was looking for something else in my shop and found it.

The top, like most of these guitars, has some warping in it. This is a product of the ladder bracing. I did add some bracing to the soundhole. There's also some bellying at the bridge.

It plays and sounds great. Frets are new and tall and have plenty of life in them.

Here's a demo:
