Found this at a thrift store for $5. I have had a couple of Lotus strats, and for $5, can probably get this old girl up and running enough to make some more music.

We'll see.

Couple of quick photos so far. I'm going to glue the top at the bout where there's some separation. ImageImage

Curious to see what you do with the binding that is missing/broken

May or may not repair the binding. Beyond my skill level. I may see if I can fill it somehow though.

Condition and quality of the guitar doesn't warrant too much $ thrown at it. Would like to get it decently playable though!
