Hey everyone! I've had some cool stuff in the shop lately. Like this 1930s Gibson L-00. This guitar came in for a complete restoration, and it needed it. I started off this restoration by taking the neck off as it needed to be reset. As for the body of the guitar I went through the sound hole and reglued the braces that were decoupled and fixed the cracks. Once the body was solid I put the neck back on, refretted the fingerboard, and made a new bridge. Of course, the guitar was cleaned and hand polished. It also received new tuners and Stringjoy strings. I've also started on another Brooks Acoustic Custom, inspired by a Martin D-18. This guitar will have a slightly thinner body, my scalloped X-bracing, and a V-shaped neck. I asked people to vote on the paint over on Facebook, so put your vote in: Natural or Burst top. What would you like to see? If you need a set up on you guitar or need one restored, or maybe you just want to play a Sleeper Conversion or a Custom Brooks Acoustic, come on by and I'll get you sorted.

I also have my own custom guitar, and it really feels great. I feel like owning a personal guitar is just something insanely fun. I never had the money for it, at least at first. I needed to go and save lots of money before I was able to go and have this one made. I think it took an entire year before I was able to go and have it made, but it was worth it. I love my guitar so much.

AuthorMy name is Robert Brooks, and I'm the guitar doctor around here. I love the fact that I can take an old guitar that others have given up on and restore it to sound even better than it did brand new. From time to time, I'll invite you to follow my process on this page. Archives
