Default speaking of "how not to repair"

" The guitar has a good amount of playwear from heavy use. There are also two line cracks on the top, a line crack on the right side of the headstock, a line crack on the back, a line crack on the side and a repaired heel near the neck joint. "


And, from the pictures, I would say every repair done poorly

Yep, and the price they are after, is a bit obscene for what it is as well.

Whoever owned that one previously should look into a metal bodied resonator. Or carbon fiber. He (probably) gigs in some rough joints....
