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.

Epiphone EA-250


Just acquired this 1970's made in Japan Epiphone EA-250. Had to pay about $100, but it seemed relatively inexpensive and in OK condition. Have not had a chance to really scope it out yet. Needs some minor binding repair around the neck joint and a pickup. These pickups are called MMK-1 and are hard to find. I might just hot rod it with some new ones if I cannot find a replacement at a reasonable cost, but would like to keep it original. Value in good condition is probably only around $300, but from what I understand pretty popular in Europe?



I will post some more pictures and info after I get a chance to start working on it.
