Anyone know what this is? Here is the eBay Description:
We have what looks like some sort of a press?, some sort of Luthier's jig. Comes the old Martin factory on North St. in Nazareth. After the new facility was built and operating they kept part of the North St.facility open and called Woodworker's Dream. That's were this jig comes from, I bought it an auction years ago along with Martin wood and other items. Measures approx. 17" x 9". The opening is 13" x 5".

all that would have to be done was to change the back form for any size guitar .
