It's a Montana,and I think it's an electric acoustic. The strings are rusted and there are only three. The tuning heads HAVE to be replaced or de-rusted. Im sure about the bridge but i dont think it's in good condition. I wanna try and fix this guitar up. I already have a Montana,the same one,so I know what it looks like when it's in good condition. How much do you think it'll cost for the tuning heads and can one buy a bridge?
