Re: I just found a rare treasure! (Correction)
Unfortunately, those old Stewart's were designed for gut strings. Many were later strung with steel, which warped the necks. "Unrepairable" may be a bit harsh, but it may take waaayyyy more work than it's worth as a player. It's probably best to leave it "as is" for the sentimental value. Is it warped, or actually twisted? It might play ok with it's intended strings-maybe try Nylgut? BTW, Bob-I don't think I've ever seen the 'jo in question. Was it in the display case in the basement of the old house?
