Toronto Lutherie

Ebony bridge over Sitka Spruce.

Custom upholstery for a perfect fit with @pelican case. @babakaminiofficial

A sharp @lienielsentoolworks block plane makes sizing this bone saddle really easy. The @stewmac_guitar vise helps too.

Almost done with the side bender.

Strings are on, intonation dialed in. More photos soon.

Rickard cyclone tuners. Made here in Toronto by my talented colleagues. Once you try these you wouldn't want to use any other set of tuners.

A properly fit bone saddle makes even an inexpensive guitar sound much better. @fl_guitar Mark it was a joy to work on your guitar.

Here is the basic structure of my new bending machine.

Restoration work on this old harmony is done. Thanks to @aw_instruments for making a new nut and doing the final set up.

Prepping a new top for the old guitar.

I really like the simplicity of this bridge design. Strings soon.

Thank you Dave at BC Tonewoods for supplying these yellow cedar billets for side laminations. These should last a while.

Time for a new top! This guitar has toured all over the world, now it's time for some TLC.

A nice hofner archtop in for some basic maintenance.

From inception to reality, a collaboration with the great @babakaminiofficial.

Nothing a bit of hide glue can't fix!

You know the saying "don't open a can of worms!" Well this old harmony literally had some sort of insects living inside it. Is it worth repairing? I don't know, does it have sentimental value for someone? Yes it does.

Rest in peace maestro!

Last detail shot. Screen print work done with the help of Alex Wood @aw_instruments @alexwoodart
