I personally love guitars like the one your talking about...It is like my life's mission to save every old guitar i come across and restore it to playable condition ..
If i see an old Matsumoku MIJ 335 styled hollow body at a garage sale or flea market i can count on the fact that my wallet will have a few less dollars in it and that i will be buying flowers on the way home so my wife will not notice the new guitar in the corner..
I have also found that either a gift certificate from a spa or finger nail place is a sure way to get the wife out of the house so i can sneak the new guitar in ...Of course then when she comes home she is so happy even if she does notice the new guitar she doesn't say much...
