Making some solid maple Hipshot bridge spacers.
Seems to be going well so far.

#luthier Beste kitarra batekin lanean! Oraingo hontan beste Gibson bat… Explorer. Beti bezala zeozer berezia euki behar duen kitarra izango da. Oraindik ez dit argi zein izango den bereiztasuna, lana aurreratzean erabakiko dut. Ea zelan dijoa.

Also mapping out the bracing pattern inside the guitar. Looks like a fairly common x-brace with two 'tone bar' braces.

Several of the brace pieces have delaminated. I'll also need a few more pieces to flatten and support some of the various top splits.

Last year, I repaired a 1950s StroboConn mechanical chromatic tuner to use in my saxophone repair shop, which I have built in to an old Airstream trailer. I did a work trade with a sax repair customer and friend by the name of Tyler Anderson, who created this sort of showcase video of the repair shop and the StroboConn in action.
