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.

Gibson L-48 Update

Here are some recent photos of the work on the L-48 with the busted side. It has been patched back together the best that I could with what there was left to work with. Some cream binding was installed and stained with amber dye to match the existing yellowed binding on the rest of the piece. I am still working on the color match on the side, but may have to resign myself that it may never be a great match.
