PROJECTS
Here are just a few of the jobs I have done in the last few years. Definitely not meant to show all of the sevices I can provide.
Bridge reglue
This is a mid 70s Gibson C-1 classical. Notice the steel strings, there's your culprit for this one. Made the pulling of the bridge pretty easy! A little clean up and ready to reglue. You do have a common problem with that: nothing to hold proper placement of bridge. Gotta take care while tightening clamps, that's for sure.
Splits
There are all kinds of splits that can occur when dealing with instruments. This is actually a fairly easy one to repair. A back brace has come loose on this very old Martin parlor guitar. The fact that the back is constructed of solid mahogany only aggravates problem. Mahogany is a wonderful tonewood, not very strong conversely. A very light application of glue to split, clean and reglue back brace, good to go!
Complete rebuilds
Cool old Chicago built Silvertone. Not an expensive guitar, but when finished,
a really good sounding box.
The neck did get reset, top bracing was reglued too.
Custom builds
A shot of a truly custom guitar. Body and neck made by good freind Jimmy Logston.
Custom electronics not to be equalled. Coil taps, phase reversal/inversion, as well as coil selection. This baby took a while!! Yes, the Floyd Rose was custom routed to give a inset fit for bridge.
