I have to say that as much as I know about guitar playing, I also realise there are people out there with a true understanding of the language of Music..... Jeremy Stafford is one of those people....I sat with him for a good 15 minutes recording random improvisations and then out of leftfield he came up with this....... AMAZING! Our Harola 000 is a real pearl however JS really makes this 110 yo darling really come to life......this is so beautiful.....

Remember those restoration pics i just posted of that beautiful 1935 Gibson Century.... Well there's more..... Roberto Byrnes was the owner passed down to Daughter Wendy..... Roberto even wrote a song about this very guitar..... The melody is lost but the words are not so with my dear friend Chris Amedee playing that old guitars, these are Roberto's words and OMG, there's a lot in those words.

Now whilst Andre's restoration of a rare '35 Gibson is ablaze let me tell you about a more obscure but just as important restoration on a rare beast that's we've just completed.... This 60's Russian Built "Electra 6" is a thing of awkward beauty that has taken the same amount of weeks to bring back to life..... Millie's Dad's guitar was a mess when we received it.....but now it has breath again..... Thank you beautiful Millie for entrusting us with this recommission. Clip in the next post

Andre has just finished a truly amazing restoration. Wendy's 1935 Gibson LC-1 Century.... and extremely rare guitar that belonged to her father...... The problem I have is we've taken SOOO many pics of this restoration, there's just too much for one post so I'm breaking it down into 3 post.... This one is the pre restoration pics, then I'll follow up with the final outcome then tomorrow will be pics of the intricate process needed to put her back to life.... First...this is what we started with. PS I've made notes on some pics to describe what was going on
