Wolvertone Guitar Works

Wolvertone Guitar Works Wolvertone Guitar Works provides set-up, customization and repair. Martin Guitars and is a Martin Authorized Service Center.

Owner John Wolverton has over 16 years of experience, studied under luthiers at Nazareth Guitar Institute, Gruhn Guitars and C.F. I attended the Nazareth Guitar Institute (NGI) in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. Master luthiers Dale and Tyler Unger (American Archtop and Unger Instruments) have shared their knowledge of the art of lutherie with me. Additional knowledge was gained through classes taught by

Tim Teel (Martin Guitar) and Greg Voros (Gruhns Guitar). Through my own experiences as well as the skills I have learned at NGI, I have let the beauty of what I love, be what I do.

Another Gibson broken headstock!
A customer brought me their very nice vintage Gibson 335. It had been blown over at an outdoor gig while on a guitar stand. The break was pretty clean but needed splines added for stability and reinforcement. A burst fade finish at the repair area, that matched the burst at the heel of the guitar, was done to hide the splines repair.
The customer was pleased with the repair and very grateful that their favorite guitar could be saved.
I currently have two other Gibson guitars with headstock breaks in the shop so, time to get to work!
