Hey Mates!
I have a confession to make
I absolutely love discovering old musical instruments. There is something magical about it.
In every decision there is a mystery that we are unlikely to discover for ourselves.
Like with this guitar.

This guitar was made in the 1930s
The first time I saw copper frets.
I saw a beautiful maple neck under a terrible hornbeam fingerboard, what motivated the people who made this? We won't be able to know for sure. But I hope that what I did with the guitar will extend its life and in 100 years, someone will be able to ask similar questions.

Thank you for watching.
