Curb side cleanup find.

[Simon Barden]

The spec for the guitar says the body is made from Basswood.

If the glue in the neck pocket fills in cavities and makes the pocket flat, I'd probably leave it as it is. There's paint that's obviously filling some pits in it, so unless the glue is making things uneven, I'd just let it be.

My gut tells me that too, but the alternative is shim the other end of the neck to lower the action, but then I think the bridge may end up being too high for the bridge. I’ve purchased a new bridge for it, so when it arrives I’ll re-check what the action looks like.

And I’m unconvinced it’s basswood. The colour looks wrong in the little bit of exposed wood there is, and I think a basswood body would be heavier, even with the smaller body size. From the look inside the cavities it’s not plywood, which is something.
