Guitar Repair #19 - Bridge Reglue/Soundboard "Winter" Crack /French Polish-Soundboard - '93 John Hall - Classical

1993 John Hall

Handsome Acacia wooden case

Carbon fiber braces

Bridge was reglued after soundboard was sanded down



French polishing the soundboard - 1st session

Problems:-

• Top centerline crack throughout
• uneven frets. they move somehow with fingerboard from 11th fret onwards (buzzing on most frets before 11th fret)
• client wants to restore as much, including french polishing for whole guitar, but i suggest just the top and freshen up sides n back
• tuners slip for 4th and 3rd string pegs.

Guitar Repair #18 - New Nut For Smaller Hands! - Yamaha CG-130A - Classical

Alice wanted to buy a guitar for her daughter, a size bigger than 3/4 but smaller than a standard size. That sounds like a 7/8 size guitar. So I suggested to customise the nut instead for a closer spacing of 37mm, to feel like a 7/8.

Too bad, I haven't got photos to show here.

I was going through my repair blog entries.

Many early guitars like this wasn't documented properly, if at all.

I wish I did.
