Now the top, back and sides are all sound and secure. Time to prep the neck for instillation of the restored finger board. While I’m doing this I will also remove the old tuners to see if they can be salvaged.

“The Dog (or James, if you prefer) has always provided my guitars with the utmost care and professional service; and always with a smile and a cup of coffee.”
“The Dog understands that my guitars are like my children. He always treats them with the greatest personal care. Whether a re-string or a repair, he keeps my guitars smiling.”
“I come from all the way Wickenburg to James, because I know he’s the best; and I always look forward to my next visit.”
Peter Paige, Wickenburg, Arizona
