The best thing about repair work is never knowing what’s coming through the door next. Thought I’d show the unveiling of this beautifully crafted guitar. Any guesses on what year and era it’s from? Your mystery of the week to solve :)

Our favourite day of the week!

Throwback to me adding a reinforcement veneer to this headstock 🎸 An extra layer of strength added underneath, helping protect against cracking or stress over time. 💪

Such a fun repair. Restoring an 1830s Honoré Derazey Romantic guitar.
Almost two centuries old, and worth every hour of careful work.

A chance to explore a very different approach to guitar design and finishing — while still applying the same principles of thoughtful, hand-built instrument making.
