Put a humbucker in the sound hole :: Yamaha APX500III [4.7 lbs]
A player brought by his custom made humbucker sound hole mount and wanted me to re-install it for him. It was previously mounted but missing the screws and not wired up. The guitar does have an undersaddle pickup, but the wire was broken free from the pickup. I disconnected the side-mounted preamp and ran the new humbucker pickup directly out to the jack.
1962 Guild M-20 [3.7 lbs] :: bridge re-glue & top touch up
The combination of the Fishman magnetic sound hole pickup and drop DGDGBD, this guitar sounds incredible. This player needed the bridge re-glue turned around quickly as he will be playing at a friend's wedding.
*Note the airplane in the photo. My shop is south facing and right under Boston's Logan Airport flight path. Sometimes when the sun is in the right position planes will eclipse the sun and almost blackout the shop.
Coincidentally the owner is stopping by tomorrow before he picks someone up at the airport.
