This is a 3/4 size fan braced classical guitar with a spruce top, black acacia back and sides, ebony fretboard, Spanish cedar neck, ebony armrest, redwood rosette, truss rod, 12 hole rosewood bridge, compensated bone nut and saddle, tapered neck, slightly radiuses finger board, and lacquer finish.  I call it a parlor guitar.

Found this old clip of a friend tooling around on one of my guitars and had to share.

This guitar was dropped hard and the V-joint failed and shattered.

This guitar was dropped hard and the V-joint failed and shattered.

Just weird to see a headless classical guitar. At least all the pieces are here.

Looks like it never happened. I was able to improve the V-joint a little with a better fit.

I fixed this severely damaged headstock. It always makes me feel uneasy to see a guitar with it’s head off.. #guitar #repair #shellac #Frenchpolish #guitarrepair #guitarshop #luthier #wood #woodshop #classicalguitar #kellyguitarco

French polish is a traditional finish process that uses shellac, alcohol, and oil that is hand applied. It produces a very beautiful and extremely thin finish that is non toxic, repairable, and doesn’t restrict the guitar’s sound.

Just some beautiful French polish on this cedar top. #classicalguitar #guitar #frenchpolish #kellyguitarco #luthier #wood #guitarmaker #guitarrepair

Applied 3rd layer of frech polish now. Might add another 3 or 4, then final polishing. Love the process, though such small surfaces are rather difficult to handle... #woodworking #boxmaking #shellac #Frenchpolish
