Finally got a CF-100
I first saw one being played by Leon Redbone in the 70s. Always liked the look and the idea of a cutaway on a vintage acoustic. This one, needing work, proved affordable for me so I made an offer that I thought was reasonable (less than half of the asking price) and got it.
Tuners are crap replacements so I have some single-line strip tuners on the way. Could use a reset but it's playable now. Big crack on bass side near soundhole with loose brace to be fixed. Needs frets. Lot's of "mojo" and it sounds good ass expected with the an ancient spruce top with x-bracing.
