| This Is Lesile Rich's Levin guitar. Lesile is one of the kingpins of the continentially acclaimed | Groove City Guitars |
in St Paul Mn. These guitars were made in Sweden in the same factory as Goya, purchased by Martin guitars and produced guitars until 1977
 |
| The neck need to rest which one would expect to find in a guitar of this vintage so the first hurdle was to manufacture a tool to remove the odd square head bolts |
 |
| I've got a complete metal shop with a couple of milling machines so this wasn't much of a problem |
 |
| All done !!! |
 |
| Next remove the neck. the heel is bolted on but the "tongue" of the fingerboard is glued. |
 |
| Carefully loosing the glue |
 |
| And after removing the neck and trimming the heel a nice tight fit. |
 |
| The purfling ring had becomed detatched so I cut some spruce to act as a backing |
 |
| Clamping the srtips in place. Next time we'll show the custom electronics install |
