Abused Martin Acoustic | Willie Nelson 'TRIGGER HOLE' REPAIR

1 year ago
266

This Martin acoustic guitar is in desperate need of some repair. It's been covered in duct tape, has a cracked side, loose binding, bad electronics, and to top things off, it's go the beginnings of a Willie Nelson style "TRIGGER HOLE" in the top. Also the sound hole has broken away in places. In this video, we'll fix the crack and stabilize the soundboard by filling the Trigger Hole and repairing the broken sound hole. We'll also overspray lacquer to help seal in all the repairs.
