I'm wondering if some decal solvent/decal setting solution could help keep it from flaking away.

Figured I'd give an update on this guitar.

Got it up and running. Still needs fret work but overall plays ok.

I also found it's little brother, the 300 model.

I know this is a restoration thread, but what do those Deanes sound like? Jangly? Chimey?

Sweet! Glad to see this project finished. That 300 is pretty sweet too.

They sound like any of the Silvertone/Harmony solid bodies with the DeArmond foil pickups in them. Not sure if that is a helpful description or not haha
