Making An (old) Guitar GREAT AGAIN, eh!

After Studying Under Edgar Moench in Toronto, Jean Claude Larrivee began building guitar. In 1977 He moved his practice to Victoria, BC, where he remained for 4 years before relocating to Vancouver and then California. Today we are working on a model 09 from his Victorian days, in this case 1978, which is extra exciting because Victoria just so happens to be the very city I live in and began my luthier journey. It's a lovely large bodied steel string guitar with a bear claw spruce soundboard and Indian rosewood box. x-braced and robustly so, its a mid-heavy box that's been neglected and needs some loving to go back into full time-gigging action with local legend Brooke Gallupe, who, among other things, is my daughter's choir director! cool! The guitar needs a setup badly,, lots of loose frets means cleaning, gluing, levelling crowning, and of course setting up the nut and saddle. On top of that I tackle some finish issues on the neck and install a sound hole pickup.
