    Vintage HANDMADE JUMBO Cutaway Acoustic/Electric Guitar Fine Woods Maybe Project!  WAS DAMAGED DUE TO PROBABLY BEING LEFT TUNED UP IN HIGH HEAT SITUATION AND MAYBE SOMEWHAT UNCURED WOOD OR GLUE CONSTRUCTION.  Handmade by John Toothman, member of West Virginia Country Music Association (This one is not signed but I know it was made by him.  ORIGINAL PRICE WAS 0.00!).  Not sure of age of guitar.  Full size jumbo cutaway measuring approx. 41" long.  Upper bout approx. 12" wide and lower bout approx. 17" wide.  A project due to neck joint area and top of guitar around fretboard was cracked and has been patched up and reglued as shown.  Photo 9 shows bottom...note that the neck is not cracked there, shows where the neck and heel parts were joined...nice and tight there.  Truss rod seems to function ok.  Inside of guitar shows a post added for support to a brace and other wood added for top support.  Soundhole area shows glued over areas as shown.  One small gouged crack area above electronics glued over.  Some very slight bellying up below bridge.  Fretboard/neck is a little off alignment causing strings to not be centered properly on fretboard.  Some curve looking down fretboard.  Fretboard itself curves slightly to the right.  Also, fretboard gets a little too narrow towards top in my opinion.  May be good to replace fretboard...not sure.  Action approx. 3/16" or higher at the 13th fret.  Fishman Classic 4T pickup system w/Tuner seems to work properly...no guarantees.  Nice tuners as shown.  Fine looking solid woods as shown!  Solid spruce top!  Not sure of other woods.  Solid wood pickguard!  Back of guitar curves in some.  Bridge shows some gap along bottom but feels tight.  Tuned up to 1/2 step down or so and seems to hold tune okay.  Mellow tone.  Possibly somewhat playable as is, but may need other work and adjustments to your liking.  Please email with any questions.  Please take a look at photos in enlarged view.  Being OFFERED AS SHOWN, as a project guitar, probably needing more neck work and maybe needing some other adjustments, etc., with NO GURANTEES, RETURNS OR REFUNDS.  Buyer pays shipping.  No case but will pack with great care.  PLEASE MAKE AN OFFER!  Thanks!
    As with any older instrument, especially acoustic guitars, some minor issues may become possible as the instrument ages.
    NOTE:  THIS IS A HANDMADE GUITAR PROJECT SO IT IS DEFINITELY NOT PERFECT AND MAY NEED MORE WORK TO YOUR LIKING!  NECK JOINT AREA  AND TOP OF GUITAR AROUND FRETBOARD AND SOUNDHOLE HAS BEEN CRACKED, PATCHED, GLUED AS SHOWN (Tight around neck joint area now).  WILL NEED NEW STRINGS, ETC.  NO GUARANTEES!  NO RETURNS OR REFUNDS!  LOTS OF POTENTIAL!
