Restoring vintage guitars is both an art and a science, requiring a deep understanding of the materials and techniques involved. Each guitar tells a story, and the restoration process aims to preserve that narrative while enhancing its playability. At Dean Montgomery Guitars, we take pride in our meticulous approach, ensuring that every detail is attended to, from the wood selection to the finishing touches. Our goal is to breathe new life into these instruments, allowing musicians to connect with their history while enjoying modern performance standards.
The restoration process begins with a thorough assessment of the guitar’s condition. We examine the body, neck, and hardware to identify any issues that need addressing. This may include repairing cracks, replacing worn-out parts, or refinishing the surface to restore its original luster. Each step is carefully planned and executed, ensuring that the integrity of the instrument is maintained throughout the process.
Once the restoration is complete, we conduct a series of tests to ensure that the guitar not only looks beautiful but also sounds incredible. This includes adjusting the action, intonation, and pickup height to achieve optimal playability. Our commitment to quality means that every restored guitar leaves our shop ready to inspire its next owner, whether they are a seasoned performer or a passionate hobbyist.
