Sounds like there may be only a few of these ... maybe even as little as two of them. The design looks a lot like the Gibson ES-446 or the PRS Archtops. I would guess they sound similar. I...
Nothing will remove the staining. It leeches through the lacquer. Only repair would be to scrape the binding and reshoot with lacquer. Tom has had bad luck with cases. I bought a new blonde...
