Hello Ian, please feel free to contact me regards general luthiery - I don't have many opinions about instruments or their quality but I will comment on whether a particular instrument is worthwhile repairing and what technique I would use (with the exception of some proprietary processes which belong to my business). I reply to all my private queries at one time so you may have to wait a day or two for replies and if you do not get a response withing two days please resend to get back to the top of the list. Use my personal Email address for correspondence vancegit@tpg.com.au and follow up with vancecustomguitars@gmail.com if necessary. Regards, Rusty.
Ian, what is the story with the Stromberg Voisinet in your profile pic? You knew maybe that I host facebook's Kay Kraft Guitar page and collect all of these?
Good luck with luthiery. You are getting a running start at the same age I started back in the 60's. There is an abundance of information and knowledge on this site. I will look for your postings and give you input if I am able. You probably won't get rich with luthiery, but, who knows?
