It’s done. Disassembled and body cleaned, brass parts polished up, fretboard oiled, electronics checked, restringed with some nice flatwounds, truss rod tweaked, string height fixed and intonation corrected.

Progress:
1. Glued in the neck block.
2. Glued in two floating englmann spruce quarter sawn braces from the neck to tail block. I learned that these late 60’s early 70’s MIJ #Matsumoku thin lines usually have a neck joint flex issue. Found 1 #luthier that installed a floating rod from neck to tail block and reported success. Since I had the top off anyway, I’m trying this. #luthiery #guitar #GuitarRepair
