Today on the bench: Grampas' Martin. It was my pleasure to patch a hole in this 1964 Martin that belonged to one of my client's grandparents. The side wall of the body suffered a hole with some cracks. The owner had saved some of the pieces and our plan of attack use them to try to fill the hole. I started with making a curved backing and gluing it to the inside of the hole I set the pieces into place and filled the gaps with mahogany filings and CV glue. Sanding and staining and lots of clear coat and buffing brought out the shine. Grandpa might be gone but he is not forgotten!

Today on the bench: 335 Revive. For those of you whom have visited the shop you may recall this guitar body that has been sitting on a stand in the corner of my workbench forever. This guitar was run over by a car and the neck was broken. I had a hard time locating a replacement neck and finally ended up modifying a Les Paul neck to bring this 335 copy back to life. The body of the guitar was scratched from the accident and got a buffing and polishing to bring back the shine. The neck required cutting a double step to allow for clearance for the pickup rings without damaging the binding and leaving a little black enameled wood to clean up the joint where the neck seat pocket meets the top. I used a table saw with a 60 tooth blade for the cuts and a miniature belt sander to round the corners and hand filed and sanded it tight fit in the pocket. The fresh wood areas were coated with sanding sealer. The neck got a fret leveling, end filing, crowning and polishing followed by an oil treatment. New holes were drilled to install the old hardware and a set of 10-46 strings and setting the action and intonation completed the install. All in all, it was great to give this old guitar new life and deliver it to its owner.

Today on the bench: Maple Modulus five string bass. It’s not often I see a modulus bass, but having two in the shop back to back is amazing. This beautiful bass sports a tiger striped maple top and a highly figured carbon fiber neck. It has active circuitry and has an amazing tonsl range. Plays like a dream.

Today on the bench: beautiful 1998, modulus bass custom five. I love having beautiful instruments come through the shop. This bridge had a unique design and each saddle had to be adjusted quite a bit to get it all dialed in, but now this gorgeous fretless bass plays like a dream.

Today on the bench: Parlor guitar salvation. This cute little custom Parlor Guitar was brought in with a neck that had collapsed under the string tension due to inadequate internal bracing. The top was split in five places I built a support system that incorporated the existing bracing to raise the neck to the correct level. Then I glued The splits in the top. To cover the the repair lines, the top receive several coats of honey colored Guitar lacquer followed by some clear coat.
