My friends uncle has a very unique guitar because ones you strum it and mute the strings the sound remains(it does not mute at all). it was bought in the 1980's and was repaired in a local area. they put some kind of a cloth... any one of you heard about the same guitar?

What's the name brand of the guitar? Explane the "cloth" thing in a bit of detail, I have never heard of anything like that before.
Jimmie showed me alot of stuff, but there was a time when he warned, 'If you ask me to show you anything again, I'll kick your ass.' Well, I did and he did. - SRV

Sorry it took so long, but I've moved this thread to Gear.
... and that's all I have to say about that.

Is there anything written on the headstock (the bit at the top of the neck with the tuners in it) either as an inlay or a decal ?

This is starting to make even less sense. If the body of the guitar is lined with cloth then it would absorb and deaden the sound not increase the sustain.
