Old Town Guitars

This 1990 (first year) Gibson Classic 1960 has been through some things, but after a fret level, a new bone nut, and a setup is absolutely killer. Good weight, great neck shape, and just wants to rock.

My favorite part of guitar repair is resuscitating loved instruments! To most people, this is just another Taylor 314, but to Paolo, this is the guitar that he’s played for 15 years and carries memories of his wife, travel, and life over that time. Another shop told him the cracks and separation were unrepairable. When I told him it could absolutely be repaired, he got overwhelmed and hugged me, and when it was done exclaimed “you saved her!” Best. Review. Ever.

I’m not sure if it got stepped or sat on, but this had four loose braces/cracked braces and wound up needing 12 cleats to close up the cracks across the top. With a fret level and a new saddle it’s feeling really good!

This is the best Les Paul I’ve played in recent memory. 2017 R7 setup with 8’s for a client about to have hand surgery and wanting it to play easier.

It’s easy to see why Billy Gibbons is known for playing 8’s. This guitar is way too much fun!
