March tends to be a relatively quiet month, so this year I'm taking advantage of it! In the middle of the month is March Break, and I intend to spend that with my kiddos, and at the end of the month I'm taking a week out of the shop to host some international visitors. I'm really hoping spring will be kind to us so we can take lots of walks!
I'm approaching the end of some guitars that had long symptom lists. The one top of mind right now is a guitar from the 80s with cracks all over it, in dire need of a refret. It is an example of a well built guitar (by a Canadian Luthier, no less), that has lived a good life. There's beautiful wear on the fingerboard, between the strings, and pick marks where the 'a little too small pickguard' didn't catch every stray strum. Please remember to hydrate your beloved instruments to prevent cracks, and wipe down your instrument between plays, to reduce their lifelong costs to you!
I hope March treats you well, and you can catch some local artists playing around town, and enjoy playing your own instruments this month! See you soon!
