<p>Hi, thanks for all your input everybody. this was an interesting repair and has a bit of a story too. I have all the photos of the repair journey. The job involved first undoing the customer's deceased husband's earlier repairs, before doing my own. </p>
<p>I'll do it as a separate post, stay tuned.</p>

<p>I gotta vote for the leather cover.</p>
<p>not sure on Elvis’s and Rick Nelson’s, but some could have been tacked on with nails.<br/> <br/>Elvis was probably the main influence, outside of C&W, for that style of guitar cache’.</p>
<p>Jimmy Velvet sure looked like Carl Smith!</p>

<p>Hi Greg, thanks for the suggestion. I thought that could be the case with the back, like a pad, but then they appeared on the front so I thought a resonator of some kind, but then why on the back. The guitar had also been fitted with a tailpiece.</p>
<p>I just had another thought. What if the strings went from the bridge to bridge pins at the hole locations, and when that did not work a tailpiece was added? But there were no signs of string damage at those holes.</p>
<p>Hmmm, Taff</p>
