MP63 Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 My friend from my church gave me his Brazilian Rosewood Ramirez from 1960. He bought this new when he was a young Beatnik in the 60's. He asked me to see what I could do about the damage. The bridge broke and lifted up in many places. The fingerboard has a chuck missing. I took it to a local classical shop in Los Angeles called Candela's and the guy just about wet himself over this guitar. He said for him to restore it; to refinish and fix the cracks and splits, would be about $1,000-$1,200. There're giving me a two month time frame for the work. The deal is, my friend doesn't care how it's done. He's 78 and just wants his guitar no matter how it looks. It's a shame not to do it right. I'd like some more opinions. Does anyone know of a good reapir shop in Los Angeles that works on vintage classics? I offered to pay for this for my friend. He won't know I am though. He'll get mad if he finds out. Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
