I took delivery of a custom luthier-made classical guitar early 2012. I am not happy with the way the guitar was finished. I have since redo and rectify many defects. Unfortunately I was too disappointed to document the work. This is the latest rectification done to the guitar. The wood marquetry in my opinion does not match the guitar. So I feel I need to redo the marquetry.
