I have a story for you. And I debated sharing this because it was a weird thing to do.

This is a #charango . A pretty nice one too, made not from an #armadillo like #traditional charangos, but carved from a complete piece of South American hard wood, topped with spruce. It sounded great.
Anyway, the customer really wanted a strap button... badly, so... I had to find a way to get a properly curved block to fit back up in the right spot inside the body and glue it into place before screwing in the strap button.

I didn’t want to crack the thin bowl-carved wood. This was the only option for the little #beauty. I also had to take contour #measurements for shaping the #convex block so it would have a decent glueing surface inside.

These doodad tuning gear clamps were shown to me by an old luthier tech a long time ago. When they come in handy, they can solve some really weird puzzles.

The #two #tenors …
Strange things compound and waves of occurrence do often occur. These two instruments came in on the same day, from two different clients. Both tenors are bout 100 years old. One #banjo one #tenorguitar #occurrence #serendpity

Here’s the second in a series of posts about a vintage B. Rico flamenco guitar from 1970… “Rico” as in Rich, and “B” as in “BC”… Bernardo Chavez Rico… BC Rich.

Here we’ve removed the top. It was a little nasty, but the sides are untouched and re-binding will turn out well.

I believe this guitar was made by Bernie himself. He was a known flamenco player, a known builder of flamenco guitars, and he’d been building guitars out of his father’s shop for a decade by 1970, the date on this label.

It’s also around this time he started doing more with steel strings and adopting the name change for the brand. Just as he and his father were starting to see more popularity with electric solid body guitars, it’s said that his father was also producing guitars with builders from Paracho, but that was supposedly in the 50’s and early 60’s.

This guitar was made one year after Bernie made his first electric. And this is one of the last nylon guitars with the original name from his original shop in East Los Angeles.

Bernie saw it coming and he was perfectly positioned for the rock and metal scenes that dominated the late 70s and early 80s. B.C. Rich became a huge name brand in the world of guitars.

Anyway, we’re doing a full re-top on this guitar and bringing it back to life. To learn how this all got started, go visit the last post about this.

We have a nice cedar top prepped and seamed. Almost ready to install the prefab rosette from @luthiersmerchantile
