Here are some pictures of instruments I've repaired and different parts I've made

This is a neck I've recently built for someone 24 frets, 25.5" scale with an inlay of the eye of aris. The fretboard is bound in white with ablone purfling along the inside of the binding. The neck is made of curly maple and the fretboard is made out of cocoblo. Oh yea sorry about the pictures they're not the best.

Hey Ray,

Still really enjoying the custom work ya did for me! I play this thing
at least 2 hours a day, and I get compliments on it everytime anyone
sees it. You were absolutely the right person to make my dream guitar a
reality. That said, I'm attaching a few pictures that I believe are
slightly clearer than yours, so maybe you can use em on the site. The
closeup of the inlay is particularly nice in one pic. I hope everything
is well with you. Take care!

This job required removing the eight ball and installing a pentagram.

This is a Gibson Blue Ridge, it needed to be refretted, the top lifted causing the action height to be about 3/8" at the 12th fret. There was also a crack in the top just below the bridge that ran right off the edge of the lower bout. Now it plays great!

This is a double bass I picked up. It was in peices so I got it at a really good price. It turns out that it was built in the early 1900's. I had to plane the fret board to lower the action. I had to put the body back together and reinstall the neck. Its a King Mortone.

This tenor banjo was given to me. The neck was broken and the body was in peices.
