How to bring life BACK to an acoustic guitar: ⠀
⠀
On the road to restoring this gorgeous Martin acoustic courtesy of my man
⠀
He brought it to me feeling like the sound has “dulled” over time, as well as having a few loose electronics. ⠀
⠀
Here’s what I check when it comes to bringing that shimmer and richness back to an acoustic:⠀
⠀
1. strings - are they the right (and fresh) set?⠀
2. frets - are they shiny or corroded?⠀
3. humidity - is the wood healthy?⠀
4. nut & saddle - are they stable? ⠀
⠀
Address these and you’ve usually got a guitar in great health. 😊

Wish you could refurbish your guitar? 🤔⠀
⠀
We can make it happen! Your guitar doesn’t have to sit there gathering dust. It can be something that excites and inspires you! ⠀
⠀
Think your old guitar is in too terrible a shape? It doesn’t matter! ⠀
⠀
This 7-string was years into neglect: rusty, perpetually, out of tune, not living to its potential.⠀
⠀
A couple weeks with me and now it can take down 90% of what’s on the wall at your local guitar center. Super comfortable to play, a rich sound, and a creative extension of its owner. ⠀

🌚 Things I Learned Building / Refinishing Oscura:⠀
⠀
This is Oscura— a D standard KILLER I refurbished for ⠀
⠀
and here’s a few tidbits I learned on the journey:⠀
⠀
•heavier gauge strings need a slightly higher action to resonate. their size literally require more space to oscillate.⠀
⠀
•lower tunings benefit from more articulate pickups, picks, and tone capacitance. This baby plays in D standard. To play those low notes clearly, gracefully, and not just wobbly, you need to compliment the setup with brighter attributes. ⠀
⠀
•all black guitars can be pretty graceful too. Against my predictions, this thing is more angelic than it is metal. Think Sephiroth.

Something I harp on a lot— you never know how good your guitar could sound until it’s been correctly setup! ⠀
⠀
And maybe you might think otherwise from some bad experience with expensive, snotty big box guitar shop (cough cough GC)... but a good luthier will make all the difference! ⠀
⠀
This gorgeous thing came landed on my coffee table playing out tune with a bowed neck and hazy frets. The same thing that happens to all guitars as they sit on their stands through the changing seasons. ⠀
⠀
A quick servicing now has this baby playing even better than it looks. And even more important than that— it sparks joy in its player’s hands again. ⠀
⠀
Consider getting your old guitar a setup. It could open your world!
