Parts Location & Manufacturing Refinishing your Guitar Restoring with You
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.

 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.

 

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.
