Congratulations!!! She's a uke! 😍

Check out this custom PETILLO Point body shape made by my Father, Dr. Phil Petillo, in June 1993 (serial number 0644) for our family friend Joe Demko! I did a full restoration on it to bring it back to life. The instrument has many details. The front headstock has a group of colored wood veneer flowers with PETILLO in mother of pearl and the barber strip column is inlaid where the neck meets the body. The back headstock has an abstract mosaic pattern, and inside the soundhole edge is a ladder-step design delicately bent following the shape of the soundhole. Also, the neck laminations of seven layers are made up of German and Austrian maple, French walnut and South American purple heart wood in the center. The soundboard is German silver spruce with Bear-Claw grain, the binding purfling on the top is five layers of white fiber and South American purple heart wood. The Paua abalone rosette with mother of pearl tulip inlays and a Nigerian ebony bridge with inlaid design strips. The end pin jack area has an East Indian rosewood "V" inlay outlined in colored wood veneers high-lighed by the Austrian figured maple grain sides with a tabacco burst. The three piece back is rosewood with a mother of pearl assembled herringbone arrow design with black ebony binding. Check out all the pics!!!

My very first professional #electricguitar , a 79‘ #fender #stratocaster #anniversary got a major upgrade today. Done by #masterluthier #nicoschack from #schackguitars , she got a #scallopedfretboard and no, it never has been inspired or will ever sound like #yngwie 😁 . It was exactly what this instrument deserved. It will be used a lot in the studio at the upcoming productions I guess. I‘ll post some more pictures of the manufacturing process soon. #meadowstudios #axelritt #ironfinger #the_real_ironfinger #monstergroove #domainband #gravedigger #gravediggerband #strat #fenderstrat #anniversarystratocaster https://www.instagram.com/p/BotVGd-n5OD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vousaachu8pv

Comstock & Berlin with their Mini-mes......

Broken headstock restoration for my friend Glen Burtnik of the band The Weeklings on his vintage late 60's Gibson acoustic guitar! This was a tough repair. I made a new headstock overlay made of the classic Gibson fiber material and inlaid the Gibson logo and design in the same exact location as the original inlay work. Before gluing the overlay on the face of the headstock I had to align/glue the broken headstock ear back onto the neck. The final step is the lacquer work to hide all the cracks and glue lines. Fortunately enough for me the guitar had crackling all over the place. This was a benefit in spraying the neck and headstock because the relic style crackling hides everything. In the majority of Gibson restorations the mother of pearl headstock inlays are tinted a vintage yellow and the nut back/side edges also should be tinted for a factory fresh look. I'll post the body tomorrow with special pics of another famous guitar next to it. Check out all the pic!

Sides Guitar ND Ukulele protectors Is a must...I started putting protection on my sides after a thin side warped on my customer's guitar...! Besides, it gives the instrument a classier look. #woodworking #woodwork #artisan #artandguitar #luthierguitars #luthier #masterluthier #cocoboloUkulele #cocobolowood #cocobolorosewood #art #worldclassinstruments #jesus #fun #playingukulele🌺 #neverquit @pinol_guitars_ukuleles https://youtu.be/J8HXVeWQ9AQ https://www.instagram.com/p/Br9Pl2OHKLH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kzlhjd6hipe7
