Back to Memorial HS today to deliver the latest 2 repairs. The 6 string was a loose and shorting output jack. Fixed that and put on new strings.
The 12 string was in critical condition. The only thing holding the headstock in place was the strings. Compound fracture you could say. Luckily, I was able to glue it up and gently tap it back into place. Clamped it overnight, cleaned up the fracture joint w glue and sawdust and it’s playable again. New strings provided by a grant from the MAMAs along with donations from my friends and fellow alumni Andy and Jackie.
It’s so important to put well playing instruments into the hands of kids so they don’t get discouraged.

In the shop today is Andrew Barth, bassist for the Salty Limes and husband to Meeka from the Midnight Angel band.
New lightweight tuners, BadAss bridge, both now in black, new strings and a setup has him set to go. Thx Andy for the repeat business and trust.
