You can see here what I found when I took off the tap plate. And a photo of it cleaned up. also the back is about ready to get to work. Sure looks alot differnt. Glad epoxy didn't exist back then.

Restoration Time

A real mess in here. Just about cleaned up. First repair is to glue up this split cross brace

Matias LP project

I like this sunburst very much. I'll try and get more photos soon.

7 String

First we have to clean up all this mess. Warm water, bristle brush, scraper, and LOTS of pacience!!

And more members with alot of projects happining. We will need more guitar hangers! A few more photos

Restoration Time

Once in awhile someone brings a project. This guitar is a 7 string classical,Brazilian rosewood, around 60 or 80 years old. Has a number of old repairs, and longtimehotstorage problems. I'll try and keep up with this restoration because it's a good example,(I hope), of how to give some more years to a nice guitar
