I would love to get my sweaty hands on this to restore.....

Very true indeed there!

Seriously, I would really like to restore this for ya! :)

dingo, i would be happy to at least talk!

Ok, you can email me at dingobass@icloud.com and we can talk about this :)

In DB's hands it will come out beautifully! Any luthier would love to see that pop through its doors!

if you do the job DB, you MUST do a resto thread

That would be the plan...
