Restoring A Classical Guitar - Hydrating The Guitar
This is a Yamaha G-55-1
Nylon String Classical Guitar.
Came in for service mostly because of a broken string…
We noticed a tuning peg that was turning hard, and determined that the peg itself was bent,
probably due to mishandling…
So we will probably send this guitar back with a gig bag or a hard case, to protect the guitar…
Was able to take apart peg and gear, and straighten peg… turns good now.
Lubed all the tuners; and they all turn smooth now.
The guitar also has several screw holes along the back of the neck, probably where someone was trying to attatch a strap.
This guitar has a strap that is mounted to the headstock, but i am not a fan of this set-up, especially because these classical guitars dont have a truss rod, so any extra tension on the headstock is going to pull the strings out of tune.
The guitar has a large section of wood thats been splintered out.
Theres two chunks of wood missing from the sound hole.
Will be thinking of the best way to approach these repairs over the next 7 days as the guitar is hydrated…
