Latest Repairs & Info

I normally wouldn’t do this much work (if any) on a guitar like this. But it had a lot of sentimental value for the family who wanted it restored. The neck angle and frets were good and I saw the potential. I wanted it to still look old and worn while bringing it back to life. There were seems and laminates to be glued and a lot of cosmetic work and setup issues. I thought it turned out great for what it was and what the expectations were.

Here’s a recent headstock repair on a guild 12-string. This was a pretty bad break, and it was the second break after an earlier crappy repair job. The guitar was shipped to us to have it done right. I had to strip down the back of the headstock and thin it out, then added a mahogany backstrap layer to reinforce the throat area. Little bit of refinish work and color touch ups and BAM.

Some before / after shots of something recent. We’ve seen a lot of these Martin DX models pop open. I’d say it’s a bad design, but that’s just my opinion. This one also had an impact crack.
