Brace conversion / restoring in Europe
Hello!
Can someone recommend me a guitar craftsman, who has good experience in rebracing / restoration vintage (ladder) braced guitars in Europe EU? I can find a lot in the USA but in Europe I only find (excellent) guitar builders. I need someone that worked a lot on the old Harmonys, Gibsons etc and also vintage Martins. Thank you for your help! Kind regards

I don t know where you are in Europe but Lucas from Spruce Guitars in Utrecht (Netherlands) specialises in older ladder braced guitars and has experience with those Harmonies. There is also Roger Haggstrøm from northern Sweden who also posts here quite regularly (Gammelgura.se)
I have never met Roger in person,I follow his blog though, but I visited Lucas sometimes and bought my mandolin from him. I think he knows what he is doing and always has some nice older instruments for reasonable prices. https://en.gammelgura.se/wordpress/ https://www.spruceguitars.nl/english Last edited by ReinvanBelle; 03-03-2024 at 08:31 AM.

It's possible Hans Moust might give you a reference. He seems to have a wide network.
