[QUOTE="RSteve, post: 556370, member: 164"] [SIZE=5]I bought a well worn handmade D & D concert ukulele for $56.00 at Goodwill. I'm debating whether to leave it as it is or use some Formby's Refinisher and 0000 finishing steel wool. I've seen these ukes sell for as much as $1000. There's a rectangular placard right behind the bridge that somebody glued on. I'm hoping that it wasn't to cover damage. A few years ago, I bought a beautiful classical guitar at Goodwill that someone had tried to put steel strings on and tore the bridge off. I bought a larger based bridge, that covered the damage and glued it on, making sure, as best I could, that it was placed correctly. The guitar was made in Spain by a known luthier. I had it appraised at close to $3000. I donated it to the Godes String Instrument Library Trust Inc which lends mid to upper end stringed instruments to highly acclaimed students. It's a 501(c)3 so I was able to take the tax deduction at the current appraised vale.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
