[La scala- BOX-what to do?]

What kind of bondo? I like the idea of doing a veneer. I want to keep them as original as possible.

[La scala- BOX-what to do?]

I have recently inherited 4 La scalas. They came from a bar, they are not matching. They are too beat up to put a veneer on. I had an expert cabinet carpenter look at them, and he want to put an external box on them. Leave the existing box, but do an oak case on the outside. What do you audiophiles think about this? Will this affect the original sound?

thanks for the help
