1987 Carvin DC-150 [7.1 lbs] :: refinish
This was a strip, refinish and covert to passive project that left the shop a few weeks ago. A photo essay is over on the blog: http://www.chubbuckguitars.com/blog/2014/12/18/1987-carvin-dc-150-stripped-down-bursted
ESP LTD B-206SM [11.4 lbs] :: six string bass setup with D'Addario EXL170-6 nickel wound strings. This thing is a beast!
While working on the bass I found that the E string's tuner split post was squeezed together and broke upon removing the string. The broken tuner still functions, but I wanted to get the bass back to the player over the holidays while sourcing a replacement in "Cosmo Black".
2004 LaVancher OM [4.5 lbs] :: top crack repair.
Above is the completed top crack repair that was repaired here.
Below is the crack as it came into the shop. Note the dent on the bottom edge that was caused by a dropped cell phone.
Late 60's Gibson Trini Lopez Standard [8.7 lbs] :: refret & bad pots
This guitar had the deepest fingerboard divots I have ever seen. These divots were addressed along with receiving new frets. The pots were dirty as well since the "control cavity" is exposed to the elements on hollow guitars. When attempting to pull the harness to clean it I was surprised to find that the knobs were glued on! The neck volume pot broke upon removal and the bridge volume was replaced as well due to a bad taper.
Look for a blog post with more details sometime next month.
