Just got this after the UNH game. In the rain. Gorgeous Mother of Pearl inlays with nice aged patina. Not solid white but has some yellowing that’s quite lovely.<\/p>\n

Seller cut off the strings in order to shave the bridge saddle down to lower the action, then never filed it down.
\nI saw this is the 4 bolt cover in the back, just like my 1977 Epiphone Nova NV180 jumbo…
\nSo I could un bolt the neck and shim it to lower the action.
\nGotta source some old strings from across the street…<\/p>\n

I’ve now read various sources cited this with a solid spruce top or a laminated top. I can’t see ply layers in there when I check the sound hole but sometimes that’s very hard to see.
\nRosewood laminated sides and back apparently. Mahogany neck I read. <\/p>\n
