Alain has had his guitar for about 10 years, give or take a month or two. It has served him really well during that time. (see and hear some of his many videos here) He has an upcoming concert with Hanh Nguyen April 19 in Vancouver. That’s about 3 weeks from now!

Today I went to Vancouver to hear some of their music. Very nice. But, his guitar needs new tuning machines and new frets! Possibly also a top repair!
I’m just going to show what worn frets look like.
