Adding a 3rd pickup :: 1996 Fender Jaguar
Stripping down and prepping for a middle pickup installation on a 90's Japanese Fender Jaguar. The new pickup is a Curtis Novak, the other two are Lollars.

Adjust Bridge Posture :: 2002 Gibson L5-CES [8.0 lbs]
A beautiful Gibson Custom, Art & Historic Division L-5 archtop with a Florentine cutaway in for a bridge adjustment and setup. The bridge foot was initially fit so that it was leaning towards the neck. I refit the foot so that it would stand back up straight and allow the string pressure to be more perpendicular to the top. Strung with Thomastik flats.

Fret end dress & string tree :: Warmoth Telecaster [8.3 lbs]
Flame maple top, mahogany back and birdseye neck on this humbucker-equipped Tele. The neck is a short-scale 24.75" conversion neck with 24 frets. This Warmoth came into the shop for a fret end dress and a setup. Originally it did not have a string tree on the headstock so the lower tension of the shorten scale left the high strings buzzy and lacking sustain. The added vintage-style string retainer greatly improved the tone and dynamic range of these two strings.
