Kapok MG-Guitar

KAPOK MG-GUITAR - Given to me by a friend. It was his grandfather's guitar and after decades sitting in a store room, its age has put it beyond rescue. The entire guitar is warped and its intonation is buggered to nothing. Open-E slide blues is the only use for this guitar.

Appropriate cleaning and installation of new strings is all I did. No repairs or modifications will be done. A prime example of a guitar which should have died many years ago.
