This week's featured Cool Guitar of the Week repair is a1950's National archtop acoustic. This beautiful guitar was bought from the estate of the conductor that inspired the movie, Mr. Holland's Opus. It's a 1950's National archtop acoustic that Jean Pierre wanted me to restore. So I crafted a new pickguard for it, upon which I mounted all of the controls for the electronics that I also installed, which includes a Kent Armstrong neck mini-humbucker that mounts on the fingerboard end, and a K&K Dual transducer archtop system. I also replaced the crumbling tuner buttons with new white plastic ones of the same style. After all the adjustments and tweaks, modifications and customizations, this guitar plays and sounds fantastic! It's strung with .010 gauge acoustic guitar strings.

Doron: "This beautiful 40 year old Guild D55 came in needing the bridge, which was lifting, to be removed, cleaned and reglued, new frets installed, binding reglued, the finish on the back of the neck to be redone, since it had been ruined by a guitar stand, a strap button installed on the neck heel, and a full setup with new strings, tuned to DADGAD tuning, made famous by Jimmy Page! This guitar sounds and plays sweet as can be! For more info on services offered at D Guitars Miami LLC, please call 305-896-1811. Thanks for watching. Enjoy!"
