Complete restoration of Felix Manzanero 1968.

There are cracks on the soundboard treble side and back total of 9. The fingerboard needs to be re-glued and the bridge as well. To re-glue the fingerboard and the bridge require hot animal glue. To repair cracks on the top, back and sides will be combination of hot glue and medium viscosity of super glue/leveling. The neck, headstock has also quite a few dents, nicks and gauges. Fingerboard needs leveling, frets needs dressing. The wood on the neck and Ebony fingerboard was not apparently well seasoned. This created sharp edge at the transition of the fingerboard and the neck wood, therefore neck had to be re-shaped and Amber Shellac was used to make the old finished transparent in color.
This guitar was completely refinished with French Polish.
This guitar is now in pristine condition.
