1890 Martin Guitar Repair - video

Post by Robbie O'Brien » Tue Apr 30, 2013 8:44 am

I have finished repairing the 1890 Martin guitar that came into the shop on life support. A special thanks to John Hall of Blues Creek Guitars for his advice and support on this project. Here is a video of the repair and some audio of the guitar being played.
I hope you enjoy it.

Outstanding little guitar.

Love the history behind that one and thanks for sharing the tone with some fine finger picking.

Cheers

Thank you everyone.

Here is a little video that just goes to show that not everything goes as planned when making these videos.

Enjoy!
