Chubbuck Guitars / Kevin Chubbuck, making & repairing guitars in an old building just north of Boston, Massachusetts.
1972 Yamaha FG-110 :: restring.
I have reset the neck on one of these 110’s before and it turned out to be one of those great sounding guitars that sticks in my memory. This one unfortunately is similar in that it needs a neck reset to greatly improve the playability.
The player had to replace the B & G tuner buttons on his Larivee D-03R.
Very creative solution using mini buttons on full size tuners. He commented that he ordered the wrong ones, but I say leave them on for character!
Larivee D-03R :: bridge reglue, top crack repair (running from the 6th bridge pin to tail) and set up for DADGAD tuning.
New Chubbuck “jumbo” acoustic model :: gluing in the arm bevel block.
Most of you probably are under the impression that I only repair guitars. Really I am a guitar builder who also repairs guitars. Since opening my new shop, I’ve been slowly getting the build side of the shop up and running. So I’m trying to wake up from my build hibernation and start mixing in more build time into my relentless repair schedule.
This bevel block is glued into the rim square inside to make clamping easier. Next up will be carving the interior of the block, installing the linings/side braces and sound port reinforcement. I need to finish carving the top and back while I get caught up on the rim. Box assembly is coming into view!
1991 Gibson Les Paul Studio :: headstock break repair and set up.
