Lately & notably
This ESCO Special, built by Franz Hirsch (the luthier who built the famous ROGER Guitars for Wenzel und Roger Rossmeissl) in the Golden 1920ies, until they were capable of doing it themselves), was in a horrible condition (as seen on the last three pics).
The neck had been glued in by using a thick wedge and several shims, which had spread the sides and destroyed the neckblock and other parts of the guitar severely.
I restored it to a beautiful condition, preserving it´s history, refretted and touched it up with all my experience, knowledge, love and intuition.
It plays, looks and sounds great.
