I HAVE A GRIMSHAW ACOUSTIC GUITAR WHICH USED TO BELONG TO MY NOW DECEASED BROTHER. HE BOUGHT IT SECONDHAND ABOUT 1960.IT HAS A SINGLE 'FRAMUS' ELECTRIC PICK UP AND VOLUME/TONE CONTROL. CONDITION NOW SHABBY BUT THE NECK IS STRAIGHT AND ORIGINAL INLAYS ARE INTACT. THE CELLO BODY IS ALSO INTACT WITH ONLY 2 SMALL CRACKS WHICH MAY BE ONLY VARNISH DEEP. THE TRIMS ROUND THE 'F' HOLES AND MOST OF THE BODY ARE LOOSE OR MISSING. VARNISH IS EXTENSIVELY CRAZED. NO KNOWN HISTORICAL CONNECTIONS.
THE BIG QUESTION IS--- "IS IT WORTH RESTORING?"
DOES ANYONE OUT THERE HAVE IDEAS/OPINIONS/ADVICE.
