DiPinto Harmony Acoustic GuitarTools Needed
Truss rod wrench, Fretboard leveling tools, Bridge clamps, Measuring straightedge, Fret crowning file, Sandpaper, Wood glueOld Harmony acoustics almost always have high action, and with non adjustable truss rods and bridges that have been carved down to the limit, it’s hard to save them with out costly neck-resets, refrets, fretboard leveling, bridge reduction or some combo of all four. Over the years I’ve figured out how to save these with minor, let’s call it “out-patient surgery”. This one was re-built in one day and I never removed the strings! #dipintoguitars #extremeguitarrepair #harmonyguitars
