Reparations

I perform in my workshop all kinds of settings and repairs, from current jobs to the most delicate. Here are some exemples :

Side repair on a Gibson ES 175

Eclisse avant
before
Eclisse après
The job is done

A shock on the jack plug pushed in the side. To make the restauration invisible, I had to change the entire outside maple veneer of the side, keeping the original core.

 


Replacing the neck on a Gibson ES 175

Assemblage en queue d'aronde
Dovetail joint
Nouveau manche collé et touche
New neck glued on to the body and fingerboard

I made a complete new mahogany neck, like the original,
re-using the mother-of-pearl inlays and truss rod.

Détails de la tête et nacres
Details of new headstock and
inlays
Dos du manche vernis
Varnished neck
