Thanks guys. I will end up replacing the frets ultimately. My goal is to sympathetically "restore" the guitar using a knowledgeable luthier. I think one of the braces for the arch top is loose as it buzzes when playing certain notes or chords. What would you guys use for cleaning the body and fret board?

I had the hardest time figuring out what this was and just kind of stumbled on the L-50. It is shaped like an L-0 or L-00, but those are flat tops. I think it might be a '32 or '33. Great little bluesy instrument. My grandfather was ahead of his time I have been jokingly told. The original tail piece has been replaced with a VIB-ROLA tail piece for that whammy sound. Unfortunately it is missing the "whammy bar" and I do not have the original tail piece. Sure wish I had that...

I have seen that clip of Orville playing an L-50. Sounds great.
