Here's one I thought you might like- there's a few of these out there!
After the scroll was broken off they filed it down on the peghead to soften the edges and blend in a bit. So, the old scroll (which they kept) wouldn't fit and a new scroll had to made.
Before and after pics.
The owner wanted the back of the peghead left dull, but they can be shined up like the front.
Have a weathered peghead like this? Try stripping the old lacquer off, sanding, and applying a thin coat of Tung oil. Makes the shell pop again and is an easy low to no maintenance look. If it’s not something you’d like to try yourself, get in-touch with bruce to have it done for you.
Just a note to let you know Bruce is building parts again. Whew! That move got more and more involved. Involved times, right?
Some may ask what kind of parts...
Original Traditional Bridge, pickguards, armrests, harmonic suppressors, truss rod covers...
Got something weird in mind? Go to our website to check them out, or to get contact info.
Of course he is continuing repair and customization, as usual.
Thanks for your patience!!
Things are moving along now that it’s not winter anymore -for the moment anyway. We should be partially in the new shop in a few weeks, and can begin making parts and Rangers once again- Lord willing and the creek don’t rise (a bluegrass title if there ever was one). Things always take longer, especially if it's a 100 year old barn.
We really appreciate the patience of those waiting for pickguards, Rangers, etc.
*edited to add, Bruce is accepting all repairs and MAC instruments
We've named it Sound To Earth Orchard, of course.
