One thing I learned is that while side cracks seem like a big deal, they’re often just cosmetic if properly repaired. It’s always a balance between finding the right sound and making sure the playability isn’t compromised by things like high action or worn-down frets. Definitely something to keep in mind!

Thank you. I love the perspectives on player grade vintage guitars, the ones you actually play. Owning a guitar you are afraid to take out of the case or goodness forbid let your friends play a few licks on defeats the purpose for some of us. At 24’ prices for collector grade it may be in that carefully humidified case for along time until your grandkids sell it, or take it unknowingly, in spite your years of warnings, to an open mic or campfire jam. Guitars are the sounds of life and life is for the living. Enjoy thise beauties will still be making music long after you are gone.
