After seeing Hesh’s post inspired me to show what I do as far as the repair business.
I usually don’t post the stuff on this forum I just show the new instruments I make.
I split my time between building and doing sub-contracting work for a friend of mine’s business.
The name of his shop is 812 Guitars his name is Chavez. He mostly does set ups, repairs cracks, Glues bridges , wiring,etc.and since he has so much work he hires me to do the “heavy lifting”.
I also do quite a few Fret jobs as well.
He lives about 40 minutes from me and I go to shop every two weeks and bring back a pile of guitars and pick up a pile of guitars.
Here’s what’s in my shop now just to give an idea of what we do.
This is a 1951 Martin.
Check out the incredible straight grain dead quartersawn Brazilian rosewood!
It needs a neck reset, fret job, new bridge And a couple of long splits in the back and top that need to be repaired.
It is also being converted to a lefty.
It already had a neck reset in the past And somebody saw the board off of the 12th fret which was the way we used to do it back in the day but not anymore
