I have just aquired a 1976 W32 Martin built Levin. Unusually it has a (Brazilian?) Rosewood body.
Some clown had attacked it with carpentary tools, cutting into the bridge saddle, grinding down the insert and putting extra light strings on it.
The excellent Brian Eastwood of Bacup, remade a compensating nut, in bone, shaved off a fraction of the fingerboard and restored the intonation, adding Schaller tuners and 13 to 56 phospher bronze strings and a new bone bridge insert and brass end pegs, it has leapt back into life, and sounds very much like an early Fylde. I payed next to nothing for it, and I am well pleased. Are there any other Mudcatters with similar stories? (about Levins or how good Brian is!)
