The guitar has original factory scalloped braces but the x-brace on the right side is lose and needs repairing. The bridge plate is also lifting and needs to be replaced or reinforced. The crack on the right side is opening and needs light bracing underneath to seal it. None of these repairs will effect the sound or require the top be taken off and the estimate is approximately $1,000.
Minor repairs are (1) new pegs are needed and (2) two pins on the bridge need replacing. The slots on the 6th and 5th strings also need to be raised. These repairs cost approximately $100.
I have been advised to leave the major repairs to whoever buys the guitar since most collectors have their own crafts people they trust to work on their guitars.
