Steven Ricks Guitars

This 1968 just passed through the shop for a new bridge and nut. Someone had replaced the original bridge with a really poorly made one.

I'm closing the shop until I've recovered from surgery. I plan to start taking orders/jobs again in January if not earlier.

Drive belt's busted...

This D-28 Marquis was in the shop for a refret last week.

Finished up my last rebuild until after surgery about a week ago.

Reinforcing the fingerboard extension
I though I was going to have to replace this fingerboard (even ordered a new one), but I was able to very carefully adjust the neck heel and reinforce the fingerboard extension over the body. I've only ever had one of these boards completely fall apart, but I thought for sure this would be the second.
It's still a terrible material, and I hate it.🤬
