repair on a semi-acoustic nylon string guitar































A Fender CN-210 SCE was brought to me because the D-string had some string buzz. The problem was located at the top bridge or nut, where the string didn't fit properly into the slots. So I removed the strings, filed a better slot into the nut and fitted the guitar with new d4addario EJ46C hard-tension composite strings (owner's choice).

I had an old Admira Spanish classical guitar, with bad fretwork and a weathered bridge. For some time now, I wondered how a fretless classical guitar would play and sound. So I removed the frets, replaced them by some white veneer (maple) that I planed level with the existing fretboard. I cleaned up and lowered the bridge to suit the action (yet to be finished). Here are some pictures of the work in progress.
