Broken Wing Guitar repairs and restores used, salvaged, damaged, and vintage string instruments.....It began with a background and love of woodworking and acoustic music that developed into a passion as all things that you love do.To get our hands dirty and maybe with a little luck be able to give back some life to an instrument that may have ended up in the trash or someone's attic or closet, and let it make sweet music as it was intended to do. I do not claim to be the finest luthier or craftsman by any measure, just a person with a love for music and the instruments and people that make it.

Martin DM

This guitar came to me with a broken soundboard. Someone had an accident in a bar one night and fell on the case with the guitar inside.The top cracks were too severe to fix, and the the top had to be removed and replaced.

 

A new solid spruce top was made using a similar herringbone rosette.

 

  

 The bracing pattern was upgraded from the original DM factory design

 

The top with soundhole cut, installed, and ready for the neck install and finish.
