It has a short 630mm scale, spruce top, and Birdseye maple body. The ebony bridge was cracked and someone had botched a saddle slot routing job. It also had odd action and low nut slots. Everything is in order not.
This Jerome Thibouville-Lamy guitar from Paris around the year 1900 needed some bridge repair and action help but plays very well now. #classicalguitar #romanticguitar #guitar #kellyguitarco #luthier #history #guitarmaker #guitarrepair #California #SantaCruz #Frets #Action #service
1979 Conde Hermanos guitar. I made a new nut and a new saddle to adjust the action. I then gave it a fret job and some new D’Addario flamenco strings. Wonderful guitar.

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.
Kelly Parlor custom order with its first coat of shellac. #classicalguitar #guitar #frenchpolish #kellyguitarco #luthier #wood #guitarmaker #guitarrepair #California #SantaCruz #Shellac
Found this old clip of a friend tooling around on one of my guitars and had to share.

The superglue and tape trick is great for putting the radius on a fretboard #madeincanada

The first step in making the fret ends more friendly is knocking off the sharp corners.
