Guitar Repair and Restoration

David has been doing extensive repair work on musical instruments for almost three decades, with vast experience in guitar repair and restoration. His talent in this field is held in high regard by many musicians and collectors. His experience ranges from complete restorations of vintage and rare guitars to the basic setup. A challenging and successful restoration was that of Andre Segovia's Ramirez classical guitar that had been in an automobile accident. He has restored old Martins, Fenders, Gibsons, and other vintage guitars of rare quality. He has recently restored a Gibson Lucille that was signed by B. B. King.
