Bonaventure Guitars now offers full restoration service. Do you have a valuable vintage instrument or family heirloom guitar that’s in rough shape? Did you get a great deal on a basket case that you want brought back to life? Did you try to modify your beloved instrument yourself and its never quite been the same since? Let me restore it to its former glory. All restoration projects require an in-person quote by appointment so I can assess the instruments needs. All restoration projects are accepted on a case by case basis. These projects are usually costly, and require a significant waiting period as I work on them in between my usual repair and build schedule.

If you are interested in having an instrument restored, please reach out via the contact page or directly by email at nick@bonaventureguitars.com

See the gallery below for my most recent restoration project: a family heirloom Gretsch Synchromatic 100 Archtop model from the late 1940’s. My work on this instrument includes a complete binding replacement, neck re-set, crack repair, and nitrocellulose re-finish.
