Indeed. I'd get to handle all sorts of guitars. It's a job where every day is different.
That would be interesting and rewarding with accomplishments when you get them to play great again
I'd think so. I suspect I'd spend just a little bit more time than most making it perfect - and playable-perfect. I'd go the extra mile to get instruments back into the hands of their owners where they'll get another hundred years from them - with proper care.
The modern guitar really isn't that old. So, we've only got a generation or two of luthiers who work on them, maybe a couple and a bit more generations of repair persons. 'Snot like the violin, where you have hundreds of years of expertise. Hell, the guitar industry is really only just starting to deal with forgeries, where the violin industry is rife with them.
A little bit of wood and some wire and strings and you can build yourself a Stradivarius
