Nice. I love a good rescue story.

Excellent work!!!  Do you have an audio clip that you could post so we can hear how improved/better this guitar sounds and sustains those strings being played with the upgraded metal resonating plate + all metal bolt bridge you installed?  I would bet that the tonal clarity and quality + sustain was dramatically improved with the addition of this plate + all metal bridge . . .
