Precision guitar repair and bespoke builds

Every soundboard is tuned by ear and finger pressure, checking flexibility and tap tone across the grain before braces are scalloped and glued.

We use aged Adirondack spruce, hot hide glue, and minimal mass to maximize natural acoustic resonance without compromising long-term structural tension.

Careful work for fine instruments

From active touring maintenance to delicate vintage restorations, every guitar receives unhurried attention and exact structural tolerances.

Fret leveling and dressing

Structural restoration

Handcrafted custom instruments

Precision neck relief adjustment, sub-millimeter fret leveling, crowning, and hand-polished bevels for effortless action and intonation.

Acoustic bridge resets, vintage dovetail joint adjustments, and cracked soundboard cleats secured with archival hot hide glue.

Bespoke acoustic and electric guitars built from seasoned tone woods, thin nitrocellulose lacquer, and hand-tuned soundboard bracing.

True voice demands unhurried patience

Each instrument crossing our bench receives the quiet time required for seasoned tone woods to settle, hide glue to crystallize, and resonance to mature.

Instrument intake evaluations and bespoke build consultations are arranged by confirmed appointment in our quiet timber workshop.
