The retail cost was 2900 how much would it cost to fix it? The body made out of Adirondack Spruce.

After removing the bridge and inlaying the new spruce piece, we used a palm sander to strip the old finish. Thanks Didier.

Very impressive. I'm too finding my self in a very similar situation with one of my guitars, 1987 Martin D28. I'm removing the finish from the top, I wanted to ask you what technique did you guys use to strip the finish from the Taylor, from the photo I can tell you its one hell of a good job. Thank You.

Even if the costs were close, we feel that repairing a guitar is better than throwing it away or otherwise putting it out to pasture. A $900 guitar is almost certainly worth the effort. So sure, bring it in for a closer look or give us a call! Bill, from what you tell me, I suspect the repairs would cost you quite a bit less than replacing that guitar.
