I love working with wood and making people happy. I just did a fret mill, recrown and setup on a Martin for a fellow and he said that it was the &#8220;best $35 he had ever spent &#8211; better than Christmas&#8221;. Virtually all guitars that are made in a factory will need fret work and a setup before they will play properly. A well tuned guitar almost seems to &#8220;play itself&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I really like taking guitars, banjos, mandolins that are considered junk \/ unfixable and &#8220;resurrecting&#8221; them by whatever means I have at my disposal. I also shoot nitrocellulose lacquer and acrylic lacquer &#8211; I an not interested in spraying the catalyzed resins now used for most guitar finishes.<\/p>\n<p>Give me a guitar with frets deeply grooved from playing and I will give you back a guitar with frets and fretboard better than when it was new, all level to +\/-.001&#8243;, frets polished and reconditioned fret board. You can use a magnifying glass to inspect my work &#8211; it is better than the factory. Most of the guitars I fix are better than when the left the factory.<\/p>\n<p>Check out some of my work here &#8211; some &#8220;extreme&#8221; guitar repairs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-241\" src=\"https:\/\/eddowling.com\/DSL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/DSCN0154-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eddowling.com\/DSL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/DSCN0154-1.jpg 250w, https:\/\/eddowling.com\/DSL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/DSCN0154-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7QF0egCO17M\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>&#8220;Steam Powered Airplane&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; text-align: center;\" colspan=\"3\">Download Ed&#8217;s Guitar Repair Articles<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/eddowling.com\/DSL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gibson_Westerner_One_of_a_Kind.pdf\">Gibson Westerner One of a Kind<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n(525 KB PDF file)<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/eddowling.com\/DSL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gibson_Westerner_One_of_a_Kind.pdf\">1930 Regal Tenor Guitar Resurection<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n(240 KB PDF file)<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eddowling.com\/DSL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gibson_Westerner_One_of_a_Kind.pdf\"><strong>Martin Guitar Repair<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n(464 KB PDF file)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; text-align: center;\" colspan=\"3\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.eddowling.com\/pages\/Guitar_Repair_Prices.shtml\"><strong>Guitar Repair Prices Page<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eddowling.com\/DSL\/guitar-repair-prices\/\"><strong>Guitar Repair Prices Page<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p align=\"center\">Ed Dowling<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>Contact Information<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Email<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:edd@eddowling.com\"><strong>edd@eddowling.com<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nPostal Mail<br \/>\n<strong>Ed Dowling<br \/>\n165 View Drive<br \/>\nSedona, AZ 86336<\/strong><br \/>\nPhone<br \/>\n<strong>928 300-8157<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dowling Sound Labs Guitar Repair Consultation No Longer Repairing Guitars I am over\u00a080 and only do work for myself.
