Details

My beloved ‘50s King Moretone took a spill. I don’t have the will to fix it up and it’s taking up space—I was quoted $750 to put Humpty Dumpty back together by local luthier (Jeff Sahs). I have all parts aside from the endpin. A great fixer or moneymaker if you’re a luthier. Local p/u only. $500

Counterpoint - $750 for restoration of that thing is worth it and a slick deal, IMHO. I would do it if I were you (unless you're down to ship via Greyhound to Memphis, in which case I would do it if I were me, lol)

I am interested , and may be able to repair this. I am in Southern CA, so let me know about local pickup, where you are located.
