2004 Blueridge BR-60 [4.2 lbs] :: setup

View fullsize

I am always impressed by these import Blueridge dreadnoughts.  This is going to be a gift to a customer's son so he wanted me to look it over.  I ended up shimming up the saddle, refitting the uneven plastic bridge pins and replaced the missing end pin.

Peghead & body damage :: 2002 Tacoma Thunderchief CB28C [6.7 lbs]

This guy was finally picked up after 2 years (!).  I reglued the bridge, repaired a split in the headstock and glued up a loose tailblock-to-top seam.  There was also a loose top brace and the undersaddle pickup was humming so it needed to be replaced.

Power Pins :: Epiphone Masterbuilt 500MCE/NA [5.3 lbs]

A customer supplied these "Power Pins" to install in his Epiphone dreadnought.  They are an interesting design as they bolt into each bridge pin hole and convert it to a top-loading pinless bridge.

1993 Martin 000-16 :: bridge removal

Cooking off a lifting bridge on a Sunday morning.  This Martin also has a top crack running from the low E string bridge pin to the tail that needs to be addressed as well.

2006 Tacoma RM6C [4.6 lbs] :: bridge pins & setup.

The original plastic bridge pins were mangled and needed to be replaced.  I had to use oversize ebony bridge pins to fit properly as the replacement bone pins I had were too small.  Once the new pins were fit, the guitar was set up for open E [EBEG#BE].
