c.1917 Vega Bowlback Repair

[Jake Wildwood]

Here are some quick snapshots of a nice old Vega (great sound & play!) that I finished up work on Wednesday morning. Work included refret of the first 12, reglue of the fretboard, new binding on the fretboard, general setup, and crack repair.

If I owned this, I'd be quite the happy bowl-man!
