1930's Kalamazoo KG-21

This depression era archtop from the Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, arrived in a sorry state: The solid back was in three pieces while the soundboard splits had been partially "repaired" over a decade earlier. All traditional methods were used in this restoration and the results were stunning.

1960's Hofner Senator

German made Hofner guitars were Europe's answer to the hard to find American made instruments throughout the 1950's and 60's. A questionable repair needed rectifying but after neck removal, reset, full overhaul and service,  this stunning blonde Senator was back in top form and gracing the stage as it did 50yrs earlier.
