Is it sort of a parlor guitar? I think you're underestimating it's resale value(not that you should ever part with it) The wood that guitar was made out of is not available any more. I be surprised if it didn't have a very pleasant "aged" tone. Playability is mostly fretwork and fingerboard leveling. Got to love it!

From: Sue Morton on 20 Jul 2008 00:46 Really pretty guitar, G'Bo. Your luthier did a really nice job with it. When my Mom passed away, I inherited her banjo. The banjo was worth nothing, restored or no (it was a "Frankenbanjo" made up from a number of old ones by a friend LOL). It actually sounds pretty decent. She played and played it, and it is worn in all the right places. I'm not fixing it up, it's staying in the family just like it is :-) -- Sue Morton Glennbo wrote: > 1930s model Gibson acoustic guitar.
