Here are some pictures of the "Compass Rose" built for my friend Andy Wilson. East Indian Rosewood back and sides, Sitka Spruce top, advanced X bracing, matte finish, and custom inlay. A lot of new things going on around the shop lately. I'll try to do better about updates. Stay tuned...

Restoring a Vega "trundle back" mandolin. Somebody thought it would be a good idea to put a couple of coats of shellac over the top. What a mess... More to come.

Mr. Morgan,
Thanks ever so much for repairing and restoring my guitar. It is an excellent job and I appreciate the expertise involved. I am reading the Oxford Junior Companion to Music, practicing my piano and will eventually try my guitar. Have a great day. A happy customer.
