Can I see the Back and close straight shots please? No art type shots. Plain and simple straight on shots that show all its details and flaws. The Scroll, all angles, and all ribs as well. Then I can see more.
Is that shiny brown varnish original? The Gears original to that scroll and the scroll original to that bass? Has the varnish on the head and back been matched with a UV light?
These are the starting point to the ID process. Then we know better what we are looking at. Past alterations throw a wrench in the spokes and makes things harder to ID.
