I found it on the (flea) market for 15 Euro.
It needed a new nut,strings, tension bridge, reglue the pickguard and some polishing.
It's an H6132 so it should be 1978-ish.
Cleaned it up, polished the metal parts, oiled the tuners, oiled the fretboard. The top was warped a bit so I installed three vertical struts between the horizonat braces to prevent it from collapsing under the dtring pressure. Polished the frets, noticed one high one and dressed down. Reglued the pickguard.
I ordered a floating bridge for a flat top acoustic, a bone nut blank and a set of strings.
Made a new nut. The bridge height needed to be cut in half. So I split the base with a chisel and alot of filing and sanding followed. The saddle itself needed to be filed down too and the angle less shallow so there would still be some pressure on the high strings.
There are some fundamental flaws in the design of this guitar: The fingerboard has no radius. The non-adjustable truss rod has the diameter of a nitting needle. So there's quite some bow in the neck. The tailpiece is too long and the neck should be at an angle or raised above the top. You just can't get enough pressure on the bridge and you can't get good action on it. The bridge is taped down.
There's something cool about it in a strange way.
