For the 3rd year in a row Guitar O.R. was able to play a vital role in helping to make folkfest the success it is.  With the weather being all over the map again, many instruments needed last minute professional help. Once again the experience is something that we at Guitar O.R. can use on every instrument that comes through the door.

Introducing to the Guitar O.R. team, Mr Jordan Haber.  Jordan recently graduated from the highly acclaimed Roberto Venn School of Luthrie from Phoenix AZ.  Adding Jordan to the team has made it possible to keep up the high quality of work that you have come to expect, without adding to the turn around time.  Something that everyone enjoys and can take advantage of at Guitar O.R.

Essentially it is a replacement nut that reduces distance from the nut to the 12th fret. Resulting in a lower amount of string tension, which minimizes the fretted notes from going sharp when pressed. After having installed a number of them, I’m confident that you will be amazed at how big a difference it makes. The pictures in this post are that of a Gibson 336 that recently came through the shop. With it being such a beautiful guitar, the owner wanted the quality of pitch to match. The Earvana nut was just what it needed. No more sharp notes on the G chord that constant retuning wont fix.

The Earvana nut is available for all makes of electric and acoustic guitars. Its made of high quality material similar to graphite, and it does’nt require any irreversable work to be done on your guitar. To book an appointment to have one installed on you guitar,call or email now.
