That’s a problem...
#Loose #braces can happen, and a deformed top is often an indicator.

To all the local acoustic players here in #Flagstaff... Have you been thinking about installing a pickup? Get $50 off on any #acoustic system plus 50% off the install labor. THIS FRIDAY & SATURDAY ONLY!
We have this awesome little @kieselguitars in the shop right now. Customer wants some @fishmanmusic #Fluence pickups installed so we had to re-rout the #angled #pickup cavities to #accommodate. This was a situation where having @lindseyguitarworks program it on the CNC was easier than cutting new custom templates on the CNC first and routing by hand. Save a step... but it’s gotta be done #perfectly with one try.

Check it out. This 2008 @gibsonguitar ES-339 just came in. We’re about to dial in the setup and intonation, then she’s ready for a new home. This is a beautifully flawless guitar, made when the 339 was being done out of the @gibsoncustom custom shop. .

Here’s an #unfortunate situation. This Martin is here for a neck reset. Someone in the past chopped the fingerboard extension! 😡 (this is a hack way to get at a neck joint for resetting, probably happened 20 years ago.)
This created #unstable reinforcement of the overall neck joint area, and how it absorbs and distributes string tension into the body. This was the primary contributing factor with the #cracking of the head block inside, and the separation of the top from the head block, which you can see in the movement here. You can also see the #compression cracking along where the #fingerboard extension was...

Any harmonica players out there? I’m clearing out some old inventory.
1 nice Blues Harp in A
1 Old Standby harp in E
Both for $40. (that’s $10 off the Blues Harp and a free Old Standby.)

I’ve been working a ton in the new shop. Just being quiet lately and getting things done. I’m going to start posting as many before/after shots as I can remember to do. I have too many “before” shots and always forget to take the “after” pics before they leave! Here’s an old #Gibson classical getting a big restoration job. Cracks, braces, full refret, new bridge, and more. #guitarrepair #restoration #guitar #acousticguitar #guitarluthier #luthier #vintageguitarrepair #vintage #vintageguitar

Not the worst fret wear I’ve seen by far. But here you go. Get your #frets done. Your guitar and your #fingers will thank you.

ANNOUNCEMENT: I’ll be hosting the Luthiers Workshop today at noon over at the Pickin' in the Pines Bluegrass & Acoustic Music Festival
Are you coming out to the amphitheater for the shows? I’ll be outside the fairgrounds area where they have the workshop stage. We’ll be talking about tone woods and tap tones and all sorts of guitar building related matters.
Hope to see you there!
In the meantime, go check out my line of guitars @solsticeguitars …

While we appreciate the work, we’d rather focus on making your guitar play better instead. Please humidify to prevent dry cracks! Learn more about humidity concerns on our website or schedule a free consultation.
