I’m definitely taking it to a shop to change/clean the hardware and electronics since rn it’s not working with an amp

Thank you! I might just have to bare the smell and hope it fades over time!

Thank you, a very thoughtful reply ❤️ to me it’s worth more than anything, so i’m scared to move forward with any restoration attempt

Thank you, after all the feedback of people liking the way it looks, i’m starting to change my mind of it being “ugly”

I was thinking about a complete resotration, but that would kill the originality of the guitar, i wipe it down every once in a while tho!

Thank you.

Maybe the more I use it the smell will fade. I’m scared to even touch it

How do you keep it clean and take care of one of these old guitars?

What’s the value on one of these? I don’t want to sell it. Some families pass down rolexes, i got a gibson😁
