Getting There




Finally starting to put things together on the 7 string. I put lower 'kite' braces. Although not original, the top is Very thin and needs more support. Also a bridge patch, not original either. This guitar has to resist 7 strings. Custom bent and laminated the missing piece of lining, and the top is now reglued.

Back from vacations, and back to work with the 7 string. Latest updetes, shortend up the sides a little for a better fit for the back and top bindings. And with a soft brush, I was actually able to clean off the paper repair over the lable. More coming soon......Also a photo of Sebastian with his newly finished classical. Nice Job!!!

Restoration Time




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