From your photos, I can't see any problems but perhaps you can fill us in on what we can't see in the pics.

Ken-
It has some open cracks, especially in the ribs. The top is solid and so is the back. The edges are chewed up and some of the corners are missing. It needs a new endpin,bridge, and set-up. Maybe "overhaul" is a better term. I was thinking of correcting the overstand of the neck, but don't want to add too much string length?
There is nothing that can't wait until tomorrow, but I want to have a plan. I just want to see my instrument in "tip-top" condition and see if there is any more sound in there? (Not that it is really lacking in that department, but...)
