Lovely old 1952 Gibson southern jumbo came in for a full re-fret and new bone saddle.

Classic dry boxy tone and in grate condition 👍

Check out this little humdinger !

A Martin 0-17 from 1932, these don’t come around this immaculate very often especially the pre-war shade tops with bar frets.

Came into the workshop for a once over and new saddle.

All original with no cracks… what a beauty

One of my 00s with a relic finish featuring some beautiful Indian rosewood back and sides with a Torrified Sitka spruce top. It was fun building this one.

Really nice very rare 1929 Gibson L-0 12th fret came in to the workshop for a setup. Gibson only made the L-0 as a 12 fret model for 2 years before moving to a 14 fret design. This particular guitar was in unbelievable all original condition with its paper label and case still intact.

Another pre-war beauty

Here’s a cool bit of electronic history, This is an early 70s Dan Armstrong Ampeg Perspex guitar with some cool modifications. The brass hardware and fingerboard inlays aren’t original but definitely make this Ampeg stand out. Keith Richard’s famously used a Ampeg through the 70s with the Rolling Stones.

Nice.

One of my 00s getting the French polish treatment. There’s a lot of debate about what’s the best finish to use on steel string guitars. In my experience there is no ultimate finish, they all come with pluses and minuses.

Shellac is a completely naturally derived finish and in my opinion looks the best when applied properly. It is also easy to repair / refinish. I use a fantastic product from Australia called U-Beaut hard shellac that is cross linking giving it that extra hardness.

Shine on you crazy diamond 💎
