very cool score man! dont see many of these stateside. veneer is a pain to work with so i would reccomed just replacing it if possible. and for glue, you would be really suprised what some good old elmers school glue and a butter knife can do
the dial string, if your not experianced with them, -dont mess with it if it still works. you will be very sorry!! they are a nightmare to re-string
so, hows it sound?
