<DIV>List, I looked at a Yamaha g-3 ca: early-70's (green understring felt). Needs restringing and new hammers and backchecks. Block is good, as well as bridges. Whippens good, as well as back action.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My question is about the hairline cracks in the board. Should I risk restringing without replacing the board? It still has crown and no buzzing etc. Ribs are good.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Cost is a consideration here, and a new board would put him over his budget.</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
