This guitar needs some glue, lol. In short, it needs the neck reglued (it was cleanly removed w/o heat/steam/splintering), a top crack glued up (typical bridge-to-butt), and a split back brace glued back together. I think, for somebody that has the skills, it would be a pretty easy fix -- just needs glue and clamping, nothing heated/steamed apart, no shaving for a new neck angle, etc. It's all solid wood and had a nice, bright, barking, punchy tone when it was still together and would probably only sound better with a firmly attached neck (when I had it, the neck was loose/lifting, but not fully separated). According to the guys at the Levin/Goya history site, it's sturdy enough to take extra high tension strings and it'd be a real winner so strung. Every piece of wood is gorgeous on this guitar and it has an awesome, super thick ebony fretboard.
$450, shipped to you in a modern hard shell case -- local OKC area pickup always an option. I'd love to see somebody buy this and put a resto thread up on the site!
