This is a Martin D-18 GE and I did quite a few things to it. Last night I pulled the bridge off, scraped off the finish underneath, and reglued it. This morning, I shaved a couple of braces, removed another one, made a new pickguard (shown), made a new nut, and did some misc things. The effect of all this is a guitar that's a bit more responsive, louder, crisper and just, IMHO, sounds better. It also helps pay the bills and that's very, very important!
Here's the new nut I made.
This work took pretty much all day, but the guitar's done and ready to ship home. With this done, I need to get ready for Bible study tonight. We're going to start something new. What, I don't know. Maybe we'll study the parables of Jesus, maybe we'll work thru an entire book, maybe... well, I don't know. I'll just have to see what The People want to do.
