Looking for luthier for guitar repair

I need some work done/re-fret job done on my favorite flattop that I've had for 30+ years. Any recommendations?

Snap noise when tuning

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Fri, 3 Feb 2012 08:26:08 CST

Back in Dec. I posted a problem I had when tuning. I would get a snap sound on a couple of strings just before they reached the final adjustment. However none of the suggestions I received solved the problem.

Last week I was picking with some friends and I asked one of them to check out my guitar. (He is a luthier and has built several guitars himself) He de-tuned it and while bringing it back up he heard the snap sound on two of the strings. The problem was the slots in the nut were just a little too tight for the strings (the dept was perfect but not wide enough and were binding a little when the tension was getting up to tune. Carefully I sanded about 1 or 2 thousands off the side of the nut slot and this solved the problem.

JLD Bridge Doctor

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 16:47:56 CST

Howdy, Was wonedring if anyone has tried the JLD bridge doctor. I have an old acoustic that the belly behind the bridge has been raising over the years. From what I have read, the JLD system will help lower it without loosing tone or volume.

Thanks for any and all advice or opinions

Tuners for Martin D1-R

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 10:00:49 CST

Hi - I bought this Martin at a garage sale. It's a little dinged up but otherwise in good mechanical order and has a gorgeous sound The tuners are a little loose and I would like to replace them. I'm thinking Grover Sta-Tites 18:1. Has anyone done this job? I'm wondering if I should order bushings too? Would those be the 10.5mm?

Didn´t know where to post this.

Blueridge Ebony Fretboard stain

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Sat, 7 Jan 2012 06:39:25 CST

Hi,

Does anybody know what Blueridge uses to stain the ebony fretboard on their BR-180A guitars?

I got a BR-180A just before Christmas and can't fault the guitar in any way. The only thing is the fretboard has streaks where the stain was not properly taken up.

I'd love to re do the fretboard to make it a totally even black color.

I found a couple of products like Fiebings black stain from Stew Mac, Minwax ebony stain and this black powder dye from LMII. I just don't know which one is best to match the stain already on the fretboard. I don't want a 'glossy' black stain, it needs to be totally 'un-glossy' if you know what I mean.

Also the stain on it at the moment looks to be more of a very dark brown than a true black color.

Any info here would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

New saddle in Takamine A/E

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 11:02:28 CST

Tuning with a new saddle

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 08:03:25 CST

I replaced a plastic saddle with a bone one on my acoustic. When I tune up, I sometimes hear a snap sound as I am tightening the strings. The old plastic saddle had string slots worn into the saddle. Naturally the bone doesn't. Is this natural and will go away with time, or is there a lubricant I can coat on the saddle to help the strings slide over it when I adjust tuning. The bridge is solidly glued to the body and has no separation or cracks in it. The saddle sits good and tight in the slot. ( I'm using light gage strings )

String height on my '99 Martin D28 and another issue

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 10:54:46 CST

I have a '99 D28 that I bought new, but which I seldom play. I was looking at the action and it seems just a tad high. The bass string is 5/32" off the fretboard at the 12th fret. If I lay a straightedge across the width of the top just behind the bridge I notice a very slight bow (in other words, it's not perfectly flat.) I have kept it humidified the 12 years I have owned it and have used medium-light strings. Do the action and slight rise of the top behind the bridge sound like something that I should be concerned about?

Caring for a vintage Gibson

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 16:30:28 CST

Hi All, my name is Jon and I have been lurking for a while and wanted to ask a question.

I have just been given a 1969 Gibson classical acoustic and I want to be sure I don't mess it up using the wrong things to care for it. It has hardly been played and it is fabulous shape. I haven't had a guitar in 30+ years and can't remember the first thing about taking care of it.

here are some pictures of it. Help in identifying the model would be helpful too.

Glue on finish

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 18:53:04 CST

Hello,

I had a question about my first guitar that I just bought. It is a Recording King RD-10. It got a good thumbs up by my playing friends and the local guitar shop, needing no set up, only a short turn of the truss rod to eliminate a little buzz. So I'm all set, except there is a small area on the top just below where the neck connects to the body. It looks like some glue oozed out from the neck and someone tried to wipe it off. It left a little streak (smudge) of glue on the finish.

Is there a way to remove the glue without disturbing the finish?

Thanks for any help.

Does Martin still restore guitars?

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Tue, 1 Nov 2011 15:18:09 CST

Newbie here so the answer may be obvious. If Martin does or doesn't restore flattop acoustic guitars who else does a super job for a reasonable price, major repair/restoration to minor on something like a pre-war D-28?

VINTAGE KAY TAILPIECE FAILING???

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 13:45:59 CST

I just had the neck repaired on this old Kay acoustic arch top.

The concern is that the strings were replaced by the luthier and placed "below" the bridge as shown and the metal end piece is warping upward, whereas before the string went above the metal piece and did not do this.

The luthier insists that the strings should go below but I am worried that the stress on the old tailpiece is too much and is causing failure of the metal.

I have used LIGHT strings, .but wonder if it needs to be restrung (the way I bought the guitar) OR if the tailpiece needs to be changed as the old one is fatiguing,

ALSO INCLUDED IS A PIC OF THE GUITAR STRUNG THE WAY I BOUGHT IT AT FLEAMARKET.

BANJOVIMD

Ovation saddle adjustment

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 11:00:12 CST

Here's the story: I have an Ovation 6 string acoustic that I lowered the action by filing the bottom of the saddle. It played perfect, but by doing this it messed up the electronics. (At the time I didn't know there were shims under the saddle that could be removed) Anyway, I took it to guitar center for repair & when it came back (6 weeks later), not only was the action way high, the electronics weren't working right. After tracking down the guy who did the work (Guitar Center took no responsibility, as it was a contract repair person), he agreed to fix it. Eventually (several weeks later) I got it back from him. The electronics worked & the action was OK (Not near as good as I had it)

Anyway, Now my question is: Can I file the string grooves at the top of the saddle a bit to lower the action without affecting anything or creating more problems. I do have some tiny files that will work for this.

Thank you!!

Martin D-18 specs

KAY ACOUSTIC ARCHTOP AGE?

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 23:01:00 CST

Here is a recent trade. The neck needs reset. The frets need redressed. The tuners are all chewed up or shriveled up-like?

The finish is mahogany. There is no serial# or sticker. Only headstock logo.

Judging from the hardware and logo, what year is the model?

How does the pickgaurd go on? There are two screw holes on the top but non on the side for a bracket. Were these the only two screws to secure the floating pickguard to the top?

adjusting bridge on a classical yamaha

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 14:15:27 CST

Sorry if this is a repeat topic. I am new to the Flatpicker hangout, but have been on the Banjo hangout for a while (which is odd for me as I have played guitar a lot longer than banjo). Anywho, I bought this 1972 yamaha classical guitar to mess around with. She sounds nice, but the action is quite high. I was thinking of sanding the bridge down a little bit at a time when I decide to stop playing the thing and clean it up (corrosion on the frets, cobwebs inside, smells like cigs). Any tips or warnings?

Making A Guitar With a 5 String Banjo Neck

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 09:49:32 CST

Sometimes I wonder why people don't just buy the instruments you already have figured out and know how to make. As it is, I just got a request to build a guitar with a 5 string banjo neck on it. Before I go too far down this rabbit trail, I figured I'd ask and see if anyone has already tried this, what the results were, etc.

Many Thanks,

Will removing laquered laminate affect the sound?

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 10:41:04 CST

Hi,

I have a guitar that is my first and only guitar to date, it is a Yamaha, solid wood which although was not expensive, it plays really nice in my opinion.

It does have a few knocks and scrapes though, and is the basic plain wood finish with no frills at all, i was wondering if i would damage the sound it produces if i sanded it down and stained or waxed it?

I've no problems with doing it, and i'm pretty good at getting a nice finish on wood, but have no experience at tidying up the thinner wood of a guitar.

Like i say, it wasn't really expensive (about £120 ten years ago), but i don't want to wreck the sound.

Thanks in advance for any advice,

Calv.

Bridge Replacement woes - to fill or to drill?

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 12:42:08 CST

Hey, folks. This is my first post here, but I've been a regular at the banjo hangout for many years.

At a recent festival, we had the bridge pull up off of a 1973 Gibson Heritage. It's a very large ebony bridge that looks like a banner. When I bought the guitar, the seller mentioned that the bridge had been re-made and replaced by a luthier. Right. Well, he/she did a great job making the new bridge, but WOW what a mess underneath. GAD! Looks like they got the original one off with a jackhammer and a stone chisel. No wonder the bridge came off - there are places where the yellow glue that they used is caked up 3/32" on the back of the ebony. Looks like they used the glue as filler for the gouges. The whole area on the guitar top under where the bridge goes is a minimum 1/32" and max of 3/32" deep beneath the level of the finished surface.

Getting the glue off of the ebony bridge is not a problem. What concerns me is the deep gouges and mess on the guitar body itself (under the bridge).

Would it be better to rout out the whole area to a flat/even surface? This concerns me because I really don't want to remove that much material of the original wood. Or would it be better to fill it to level with some material?

I appreciate your responses!

Guitar strap attach points

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 18:03:33 CST

Greetings from a brand new newbie in Western WA.

I am what you would call an occasional hobbyist player with no formal training.
I recently got into the three string 'Pickin Sticks' sometimes referred to as Dulcimers or Strumsticks. Hold on now ......don't throw me out of the forum yet till you've heard me out! ;p)

Anyway, I put one together using some odds and ends I had laying around the shop and am now to the point of adding the guitar strap attach points.

The attach points on a typical solid body electric won't work very well as the body of this instrument is too small. None of the pics I have been able to locate show how the neck strap is attached.

What would be best? On the back side of the neck near the tuners or???

Any advice would be appreciated before I power up the drill....

Thanks for reading.

Walnut as a Tonewood

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 19:36:28 CST

I played a Windy Hill (made by local luthier Mike Mears) today that had walnut back and sides. Wow! It was loud, with a nice punchy tone reminiscent of mahogany, and a great bass response I typically associate with rosewood. It sounded equally good on rhythm or lead and seemed, to my ears, like the best of both worlds. I've never taken walnut seriously as a tonewood but after today I may have to rethink that. In fact, I have access to a large amount of black walnut and was thinking about having some furniture made with it. Maybe I should set some aside for a guitar too.

By the way, I love the smell of walnut and this guitar reeked of it. Very cool.

So what are your thoughts on walnut as a tonewood?

Strumstick

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 16:51:55 CST

Hey everyone- I am thinking of building a strumstick http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqh-etL9ehU&feature=related sort of like that one. I do not know if I could do it, so I have a couple questions. #1: What wood to build it out of? I don't have funds to spend very much on wood. What is the cheapest for the sound? #2: Strings. What strings would I need and where would I get them? #3: Is it possible for a 13 year old boy to build one? Thanks!

Tuner Question

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 16:43:22 CST

I recently purchased a barely used Recording King RD-06. The only complaint I have with the instrument is that the tuners won't hold pitch as you tune. As soon as I let go of the tuner, the pitch will drop a few cents every time, every string. They look like a Grover knock-off. My other guitars have Grovers and this problem does not occur.

I've compared the RD-06 stock tuners to the specs on the midsize Grover Rotomatics and they look like a perfect fit. Before I purchase, I thought I'd to see if there's any adjustments or tightening that might eliminate the problem I've described.

Thanks,

polishing buffers?

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Sat, 16 Jul 2011 14:29:50 CST

what do you use to buff with? What size buffing wheels and type do you use if you use a pedestal buffer?

I am in the process of building one. I have a 3/4 hp motor and a 1" x 36" arbor. iT will mount on the corner of my bench.

I have been looking at buffing wheels and stewmac sells a 14" with a metal center to fit a 1" shaft but there pretty pricey.

9 looks and no comments?

Iam trying to build all the tool as I go. any suggestions/

Ill try and post some pictures.

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 03:24:08 CST

Dear friends,

I would like to present a special feature on the very first O series Lowden guitar. This is the guitar which started it all for George Lowden. Ordered in 1976, this guitar turned out to be the O series prototype. Broader and deeper than the previous enlongated models, this old lady was constructed at a time when Lowden was working solo in a workshop down High Street Bangor, County Down.

Which String brand and string type to use?

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 06:06:35 CST

I want to put some new strings on a 70's Yamaha 12 string & I'm looking for advice on string type (Bronze, nickel, phosfor bronze, etc...) and / or string brand... I'd prefer a warmer sound as opposed to a brighter sound.... I was going to go with extra light strings to help lower the action a bit as the saddle is lowered about as much as it can go.. (could go down just a bit more though).. Appreciate any advice before I buy...

Thanks,

Mr. Meister

Glue for a Bridge

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 10:14:54 CST

The bridge on my guitar is coming up, I have two questions:

One:

What is the best type of glue to use on this, I tried using Franklin tight bond II, but it came up after a day.

I let it sit clamped for at least 24 hrs.

Second:

This guitar is about 15 years old, It is a Washburn D-10,

the bridge has gotten pretty bad over the years,

I use to use heavy gauge strings on it.

The thing is I can not get the bridge to sit flush with the top, granted I have use make shift bolts with wing nut to clamp it down,

but even turning it with pliers It would not down further.

That may not be enough information, so let me know what Iam leaving out.

Did I mention I am just starting to learn how to do this stuff

Thanks

HD28 Strings - Mediums Sound Tight

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Wed, 1 Jun 2011 07:44:05 CST

Just getting back into flatpicking after a long hiatus. I strung up my mid-80's HD28 with a D'Addario phosphor bronze bluegrass set and liked the tone, but decided to try full medium set. Seems like the B and E plain strings just have a very 'tight' tone to them, as if they're keeping the top from moving as much as it would like. There's little sustain and just about no ring. Will this change if I stick with mediums over time, or does my guitar just like the bluegrass set?

My new custom 12 fret from the Pacific Rim

eric@flatpickerhangout.com — Tue, 31 May 2011 15:17:21 CST

In the last 20 years I have owned two Martin HD-28VS 12 fretters and a CEO-5. Probably qualified me for membership in the club. Loved them all but lust for something different always led me to sell or trade them off. Been wanting another 12 fret for a long time. The Martins had a terrific sound. But I always felt I really needed a little less wallpaper peeling bass and a bit more mid and treble response for my style of playing. Finally had one built to my exact specs. Someone who is really into guitar acoustics told me a regular dread with round shoulders and a 12 fret neck is what I needed. They are somewhat hard to come by, except from a custom builder. Mainly I wanted a normal dreadnought length body and scale but in a 12 fret slotted head version with the width and thickness of the Martin VS. The Martin 12 fretters have an almost 21 inch long body. The regular dreads are 20 inches. That extra inch was very noticeable to me. The guitars always seemed rather large and I’m not a big person. Seems with a normal scale length, a dreadnought size body allows placing the bridge farther from the sound hole in the area of maximum belly vibration. That supposedly helps some aspect of the sound. I was advised to contact a West Pacific Rim top notch luthier by the name of Do Viet Dung. (In Viet Nam the last name is the given name. There are two different D's, the hard D is pronounced like the English D. The soft D as in Dung's name is pronounced as Dz.) Here are some links to Dzung. He is a member of the Guild of American Luthiers and his work is highly regarded by his customers that I contacted.

http://www.thanhcammusic.com/guitar.htm

I ordered a guitar to the above specs and after some wait my guitar, photos below, finally arrived. It is all I expected it to be and then some. Perfect workmanship, very loud, and well balanced across all the strings. It’s the sound and size that I’ve been looking for. It’s all AAA grade Sitka and East Indian rosewood, with ebony fingerboard and bridge. The frets are stainless steel slightly wider and slightly taller than regular Martin frets. Really feels nice. To save a few bucks I chose Gotoh tuners over Waverly, they seem fine. His prices are very reasonable. And he can build you a guitar out of any rare wood you might have in mind with no limit on the beautiful Abalone inlay. All the bling you could ever want! Check him out.
