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 Ukulele Update




Just a quick note, the ukulele is getting finished and is starting to look much better. This is with about seven coats of satin lacquer. I was told by the Martin factory that was what was used on these back in the 30's. I did use an amber tinted shellac sealer wash coat to give it some vintage color.
