I ran across this ebay listing for 100 year old unfinished brazilian wood guitar and thought I would pass on a link. Looking at the inside of the back seems to mimic what this thread is about.

100yr old brazillian guitar unfinished

Practice breeds confidence and confidence breeds competence. Unfortunately, I'm stuck in practice.

One of the many cool benefits of living in the same little city with David Collins is to visit David's shop.

I have seen some vintage guitars there that the insides look like someone put a roto-rooter in there.  They have one little guitar that has had BRW painted on the outside and it is not made of BRW......

It's also fascinating to see some of the so-called repairs that places other than David's have done to say the sides of a guitar.  Pieces have been added that do not match at all and you can see day light through the edges.........

As a fan of old Gibsons they were pretty rough too inside.

Fascinating stuff.

Funny and slick,Todd. How DO you manage without recourse to emoticons?

I'll dismiss the 'Wrapped to tightly" comment above as ignorance.

You mis-enterpreted my comments Craig. This a running joke between Hesh and I that we're a bit 'anal' sometimes and we're wound up a bit too tightly... I sand my interiors to 320... 'nuff said.

Ah, NOW I see the point of the emoticons.  If they're just sprinkled liberally enough...

G'day Alain, So sorry mate , and I now understand fully . I didn't even notice who had written it, and was still seeing 'red' after reading Rick's post about being a W....r.
