Hi folks. I just wanted to let everyone know that I am shut down for the month of August and will reopen after Labor Day. I have lots of personal business to catch up on so I'll be busy working around the house and yard, and might even manage a day or two off to do something just for an enjoyable break. Personal friends, please drop me a text about non- business things and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Enjoy the rest of your summer and I'll be back in touch.

I recently finished up a restoration with the help of my dear friend and master Luthier D. Froctelli (Froc) Filippetti. It's a 1927 Martin 2-17. It was the smallest and most affordable guitar they built at the time, It has a Mahogany top, back, sides and neck, has a pin bridge and an X braced top to accommodate steel strings ( though we chose to use nylons just to be extra safe).
The fingerboard and bridge are Brazilian Rosewood. It's all original except for the strings, nut and saddle. Even the old style bar frets and tuners ( which work very smoothly) are original. It sounds WAY bigger than most any parlor size guitar has a right to with TONS of sustain.
Enjoy the pics.

A short while back a new client brought me an old family heirloom for a little TLC. It's a Ditson branded Neapolitan Mandolin (Tater Bug) from the 1930s. Many of the Ditson branded products were made by C.F. Martin at that time and I'm pretty sure this is one of them. Considering its age, it's in VERY nice condition and shows no signs of restoration. The bowl back and headstock overlay are beautiful Brazilian Rosewood while the fingerboard and bridge are Ebony. The original tuners are covered with an engraved cover plate and with just a little cleaning and lubricating, function very nicely. After a setup with fresh strings, it sounds and plays wonderfully. Thanks to the owner for sharing and enjoy the photos
