Examples
The Bigsby B5 and Locking Roller Bridge retrofit done here for one Wayne D. The end result was one which played nicely, sounded much cooler than original and the tuning stability being very strong. |
The crack in this Ovation Balladeer was the result of an impact with the ground. A spline of new wood was installed, reinforced, stained and finished. After the World Class Set-up this played as well or better than it ever had. |

This Mandolin Catania # 611 made by luthier Alfredo Albertini circa 1920, among other things, required a neck re-set, top crack repair, binding repair, fretwork, a new bridge, inlay re-installation. |
This Gold Tone Banjo is fit with a Schatten transducer and a shop-made aluminum output jack. |
