PROJECT: Campfire Guitar

Post by cur »

Was at Goodwill and found this old Korean made acoustic guitar branded Cahuenga. Can't really find out anything about it, but it seems to old, is in good condition and sounds really good for a cheap guitar. It is parlor sized. I got it really cheap and it has it's original old case. Gave it a good cleaning and will replace the cheap-o hardware. So far primed it white and will shoot robin's egg. I have a friend that does sharpie art who is going to do a drawing - doodle art thing on the front.

Getting closer. I updated the crappy tuners to all metal ones that don't slip or feel like they are going to snap when tuning. Got a set of bone pegs. And had my friend paint "Andrew" on the body. My daughter is giving this to her boyfriend for his birthday. The kid is a good guitar player, but doesn't own one. I guess he always has to sneak is brothers to play.

I sure wish I could get the color to show in my photos. I am thinking my phone case filters out some blue wavelength. IDK but I can never get good pictures of blue.
