Just got a Fender pedal from Daniel. Well known over on the dark side, but my priviledge to start a feedback thread here.
Deal done friday, arrived saturday am, perfectly packed, original box, lights up like a Christmas tree when you plug it in. Probably sound OK too.
Deal with absolute confidence. 5 Stars.
I bow to the Knowledge of Dad and Soledad, I just get paranoid after witnessing damage to guitars that were otherwise in fine fettle,
For the strings i'd echo the advice of going for light gauge or lower tension, if you don't mind the extras cost then Newtone make the heritage strings which are lighter tension and designed especially for older and lighter built guitars or those people who just like the lower tension, I've been using the 12's for years and the tensions are lower than most 11's whilst still having the tone of 12's. as a bonus I find they last about twice as long as the D'addario's i was using previously whilst not costing twice as much
cracks can be repaired, look up twoodfrd on youtube for some examples of how it's done.

And she’s done!
Strung with D’Addario 12-56. Just need to let the settle in and then add the dots to cover the bolts.
It sounds lovely acoustic and plugged in.
I reckon Fender did a blinder with those original 60s. I had an absolutely blistering Jazz bass from the same release, CAR, every detail right for a '63.
Stupidly sold it, very stupidly sold it too cheap. Still kicking myself.
