Periodically a restoration or repair project comes along that I think might be of interest to other luthiers, players or guitar enthusiasts in general.  A given job might be particularly interesting due to the guitar that is the subject of repair, or because of the technique demonstrated or just for general information purposes.  Below you'll find articles on complete restorations of various guitars as well as articles on common repair topics and techniques.  I'll be updating the content of this page from time to time to reflect recent projects so check back now and then for new articles and other items of interest.
