2019 update

  I've been busy in the shop so far working on this Rosewood custom RB-11. I've also done some restoration work for a few customers. I received an email from Dave over at The Healing Box Project and was informed that the green Keith Urban guitar I rebuilt last year will be signed by an artist; Charlie Daniels, Marshall Tucker, Sara Evans, or Toby Keith are possibilities. Then it will be auctioned off to benefit The Healing Box Project.

 Colton James @cjd573 came into the shop and is now the owner of the Harmony archtop guitar we named Humpty Dumpty. I posted a video of him playing it over on Facebook @BrooksAcoustic.

Above is a picture of the braces glued in place before carving them to shape. Below is the rosewood back ready to be glued to the sides.

And here I'm routing for the binding.

  Stay in touch! I'll be posting more pictures as I move along with this build. You can always check Facebook and Instagram for goings on at the shop that might not make it into the blog.
