I was presented with A 60's 70's Framus Gaucho that had the bridge torn off by string tension.
When you look inside you see that there never had been a bridge plate, and that one of the peg holes was drilled right through a brace, destroying it..
The internal bracing is for a classical guitar. The neck is heavy as heck and straight as an arrow. The body of the guitar is not bellied. Should I scavenge this, or could I do some experiments? I could put on a tie on bridge. And go with nylon strings. Put a hardtail on it with a floating bridge. Would it be possible to splint a brace with carbon fiber?
