Seriously deep pick wear :: 2008 Takamine Santa Fe TSF48C [5.5 lbs]

View fullsize

Check out those gouges!!!  The player of this freshly refretted Takamine uses metal picks and seems to keep the pick wear to very localized areas.  I love seeing this stuff - unique legitimate player wear.

Broken mini switch :: 2014 Schecter Synyster Custom-S [7.9 lbs]

View fullsize

This Schecter dropped by with a broken mini switch that turns the Sustainiac circuit on and off.  This switch is mounted direct to a circuit board and was rather stubborn to remove (as seen in the video below).

I was playing around with the circuit and stumbled across this rather cryptic message.  The screwdriver became an antenna and picked up a random local radio station. 

Oh just tapping in on the devil's party line. This Schecter needs an exorcism. #devil #schecter #guitar #devil #eldiablo #snapchat

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

View fullsize

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.
