OK, so I got some better pics. You can see actually how the Amati wraps look (well, almost actually. In fact they DO sparkle a lot more). I also photographed the edges and some nasty ply-splits. I sure do hope they can be fixed... What do you think? Then there's a bass drum interior that needs some cleaning. So I think I'm going to lightly sandpaper the insides and edges and try tu glue splitting plies together. Also I'll fill some of the missing wood with some sort of cement. Can't wait till it's done!

Have some vintage czechoslovak beat while looking at the pics. :-)
