I’ve had a couple acoustics the shop in lately for repairs. Both needed new bridges and setups. The 12 string had a few cracks in the top that I was able to close up. Thanks to Lora and David for trusting me with your instruments!

I don’t post here often because honestly it just slips my mind to. I have been busy though! A few guitars are in progress, a few are on hold, and I’m thankful for the few repairs I’ve had lately. I hope to start winding some pickups in the next week or so and have a new 3d printer to create the parts for those.

I am accepting repairs while I finish up these 3 guitars. Please reach out if I can help bring some life back to your instruments. Thanks for looking! - Dave

An old photo. Here's a fretless conversion I did on a classical guitar back in 2017 or so... I removed the fingerboard, added a piece underneath that shimmed the fingerboard up at a 2 degree angle to accommodate for the loss of frets. Yanked out the frets, cleaned up the existing slots, and filled with a maple binding. This one was quite fun!

A pretty standard OM model with some amazing East Indian Rosewood I'm working on. It will have a mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard, with Ebony binding.
