The restoration's begun, I'm about halfway finished. I'm waiting for some parts to get shipped here so I can't reassemble her til then.
Anyone want to look into the past? Here's how she looked 115 years ago =P

Finished product photo's coming soon :]
Here's a nearly finished product. After this photo I ended up staining the bridge you see now. Now it's a darker cherry oak color to match the back of the neck.
All that's left is replacing some of the pearl in the freboard, adding the missing 5th tuner peg, and stringing her up!
Before:
After:
Totally disassembled it, pot, neck, pegs, J hooks, and all. Cleaned up all the metal and wood .
New head.
New strings (not shown)
New tailpiece
New bridge (stained cherry oak).
