• This guitar’s neck was broken twice.  Check out the image with the green arrow that shows the original Guitar Dog repair.  When the neck broke a second time ( another victim of “no stand syndrome”) it broke in a new place, my original repair held beautifully!  The customer chose to have the break repaired with no finish work.  Eight months and counting … no re-brakes!

  • The original request from this customer was to have new tuning keys installed, because the guitar was not staying in tune.  The tuners had been replaced once already (not by The Guitar Dog) .  I chose to install Gibson factory tuning keys, the correct style for this guitar.  The repair required replugging of the original tuning key mount holes.  All tuning and vibration issues were resolved.
