Sell me your project guitar!

I buy vintage and higher value guitars that need a little TLC. I tend to stick to Gibson, Martin and Fender but will consider other brands like Gretsch, Guild and Rickenbacker. It of course depends on what needs attention, but generally I look for guitars with a repaired value of at least $1000 to make it worth my while. Click below to email me details including year, make and model, condition, photos of the issues, and your goals and I'll let you know if it's something I'm interested in. Great if you're also in Austin, but if not I can pay you online and provide an insured UPS label to ship it to me.

I've taken on some real doozies. Here's a 1945 Gibson Banner J-45 I picked up recently to restore. What were they thinking? Check out the WIP shots on the gallery page.
