    Guitar was restrung with Elixer nanowebs in 12s, and it sounds mellow and nice for such a little guitar. Micheal was please with the finished result and said the tone had not suffered.
    Michael got his guitar back , he played it a lot that day, I am half a dozen bottles of fine Shiraz better off and the traveller lives again, not as a wall hanger , but a played and loved instrument .
