  1. The heel cap repair is happening this week. He cut a triangle into two of the layers on the back and will glue three layers of maple over the heel to interlock with the back. This will provide additional strength. Pretty clever solution.

  2. My King Moretone is in the shop for a neck repair and a new bridge. It’s been unplayable since April, and I’ve been playing a loaner Kay M1 in the interim.

    I suspected a loose glue joint, but it turns out the neck block was cracked in many places. My luthier has been showing off some of his serious chops on this one.
