Back was removed, braces removed, new braces installed.

Structurally speaking, this is in excellent condition.

Neck was reset.

Sound is very nice.

We pay attention to fine details. The inside back and sides are cleaned up and sanded smooth. We chip out all of the glue globs. Braces are tapered and sanded smooth. Serial numbers (if any) are preserved. Back braces are rounded and sanded smooth. We use a drill press with reamer and press guide to install new solid metal bushings and modern tuners. We do what Harmony should have done 50 years ago.
