                                 HAPPY NEW YEAR  2015!

 

January 1, 2015:   The past 3 months I have dedicated my work time to repairing and restoring some very expensive instruments from some prominent guitar makers, as well as talented upcoming guitar makers.  I have had guitars in my workshop by the makers Antonio Emilio Pascual Viudes, Masuro Kohno, Robert Ruck, Jose Ramirez III, Manuel Contreras Sr., Michel Bruck, Dieter Muller, Andreas Kirschner, Roberto Morales and others!  Never in my guitar making career have I done so much repair work!  But these guitars all needed my expert attention, as most of them required some serious help.  I am happy to say that I am almost finished with all of these repairs and in some cases have transformed some of these guitars to their original glory or better.  I have learned a lot working on all of these various guitars, from the 1924 Viudes to the 2011 German Double Top guitars, 2 of which have "serious" geometric issues.  It has been an interesting few months, but the time has come for me to resume work on my own 4 new Desmond Double Sided guitars. 

 

So, as we all go into the new year of 2015, I hope and pray that we will all have a healthy and productive new year!

 

My best to all of you who have taken the time to visit my NEW website.  I am building the best guitars of my life right now.  Please let me know if I can be of any help to you regarding building you a new Desmond concert classical guitar, OR, if you have any major repair work you need expertly done.
