Smiling Moon Guitars       LLC.

At Smiling Moon Guitars, I do anything from basic setups to major restorations on new and vintage instruments.
Nut and saddle replacement. Fret leveling and dressing. Complete fret jobs. Structural repairs, such as loose braces or cracks. Neck resets. Electronics repair, modifications and upgrades. Complete pickup installations in acoustic instruments. Machined parts, custom or obsolete. Custom builds based on the project. No bowed instruments. I refer all bowed instruments to a qualified shop here in Charlotte NC.

The picture above is 1932 Gibson L-00. I am gluing a loose brace. This guitar needed a total restoration.

Kevin is the only one I trust with my instruments. He keeps all my guitars in full rocking order. He recently installed the new Fishman Matrix pickup system in my Gibson J-100. It's like turbo for the acoustic.               Scott Sutton, Musician, Roanoke VA

Kevin did an amazing job repairing a crack on the top of my 1969 Guild D-35. Honest, trustworthy and a fine craftsman.                                      Tony Prior, Musician, Charlotte NC

Nobody, I mean nobody is allowed to work on my guitars except Kevin Marshall @ Smiling Moon Guitars. He is the best!                                                      Chuck "The CharleyHorse" Johnson, Singer/Songwriter, Charlotte NC
