| Your
guitar may be missing parts, and certainly they would be hard to find.
Yes, it causes a problem but we have solutions.
Reputable repair shops have grown to share
parts and information between each other. It's very common for a reputable
shop to often refer each other to instruments that each may be very
knowledgeable.
We're proud to call ourselves part of that
group. Phone calls and emails usually turn up what we need.
If not, our shop can manufacture any part
that can't be located
. |
Different manufacturers used many different finishes on guitars. Restoring
a guitars finish requires a strong know how about what they were.
(see our article that Ebay reprinted regarding
Fender VanDee Fullerplast finsihes)
The craftsman then needs to know how to obtain
and apply those finishes again, or how to prepare the guitar to accept new
blends of paint.
We've got it figured out. If you want the
guitar to look like it came out of the showroom,, with the exact paint
they used, we're your guys.
Reconstruction
The natural aging process,
in addition to the location that the instrument was stored in takes a toll
on the wood. (see relics)
Even though a guitar is
finished, the wood beneath continues to absorb, and distribute moisture.
This causes shrinking of the body, neck, bracing, and bridge,
Electric guitars develop
corrosion and acid damage to the parts. Wood splits, shrinks and bulges.
An experienced eye can look
at an instrument and practically see the path that got it to his door.
Again, I'd like to think of myself as in that group.
I'm proud to apply the same
care as someone would while restoring artifacts. Using micro tools,
cutters, saws and special equipment made for the single purposes of
repairing guitars. |
 The
best part of our restoration process is the time we get to spend with the
instruments. At times you almost can feel where it has been.
Staying in touch with you during the process
has found to be rewarding for everyone.
We'll give you a link where you can see
photos of your guitar in process, while we speak.
Although you follow along, there is never
anything that can describe the feeling when you first take a look at the
completed guitar.
Restoring sentimental instruments is
something that has become an art for me. The rewards are ten-fold for the
expense of the project.
We put hours of heart work into your
project, beyond what is seen on the receipt.
