Custom inlay & new frets :: 1982 Gibson SG R1 [8.0 lbs]

View fullsize

A player's long-loved SG he named "Norah" in for new frets, new bone nut and dressed up with some fingerboard inlay.  Originally a dot neck, we decided to go with pearl blocks along with a custom "Norah" script designed by the player's friend, cut by Dave Nichols Custom Pearl Inlay and the easy part, dropped in the board by me (video here).

The guitar is set up for slide, strung with flats and tuned to open E.  I highly recommend trying flatwounds if you are into slide.  Sounds killer.

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].
