I bought this guitar knowing it obviously needed a ton of work, but I basically bought Brazilian Rosewood back and sides. Most of the rest is junk, due to being damaged and amateurish repairs. And I have to fix cracks in the rosewood, but it is gorgeous wood. It's a tiny parlor guitar, about the size of a Martin Size 1 (one size smaller than O). I've always wanted a mandocello, but this seems like it's probably too small for that?
I'd brace the new top for steel strings.
