Chubbuck Guitars / Kevin Chubbuck, making & repairing guitars in an old building just north of Boston, Massachusetts.
Caton Sollenberger, guitarist of the Boston band The Jauntee, stopped by the shop with his custom shop ES-359 to get it tweaked for their upcoming southern tour. They will be kicking off the run this Friday in Hampton, VA.

The floating bridge was out of whack and needed to be adjusted along with the action. The pickup heights were adjusted (for output balance) to account for the strong bridge humbucker.
This nylon strung guitar's action was lowered and the upper frets leveled, crowned and polished.
This gorgeous Bourgeois OM Custom visited the shop recently for a quick setup. It has a bearclaw Italian spruce top, Madagascar rosewood back and sides, all-hide glue construction and a beautiful varnish finish.
I may have to experiment with varnish on my own guitars after seeing this one. Wow, great job Dana and company.
This circa 1990's Epiphone Sheraton II was stripped down and built back up with premium components. The original lifeless dark-toned pickups were swapped for Lollar Imperial low-wind humbuckers. The new wiring harness consists of Bourns 500K Premium Series sealed pots, Emerson Custom 0.022 µf paper-in-oil caps and a Switchcraft 3-way switch and output jack. Even the tuners were replaced with 18:1 Grover Rotomatics which installed without modification. A new unbleached bone nut and setup for DR Pure Blues 11-50 strings round out the upgrades.
