I was recently asked to take a look at a Hawaiian guitar to see if I could refresh it a little. It definitely had a little of the home-made about it which gave it a unique charm. In my opinion, instruments like these which have been made by and passed down through family members (which this one has) have no less value than the most expensive guitar.
