Chubbuck Guitars / Kevin Chubbuck, making & repairing guitars in an old building just north of Boston, Massachusetts.
2014 Gibson ES-355 :: twisted fingerboard
Setting the truss rod on this year-old Gibson was a compromise that yielded excessive relief (bow) on the bass side and not enough relief (back bow) on the treble side. Luckily there was enough fret height to allow this twist to be corrected by leveling the frets.
Mighty Mite Lollar :: Reclaimed Pine Tele Esquire
A custom Tele body made from reclaimed pine in for a new Mighty Mite neck install, Lollar Special T pickup and setup.
Raised skunk stripe :: 2001 Fender Precision Bass Special
The walnut "skunk stripe" on this P bass is proud of the neck. It is fairly distracting to your left thumb while playing, so it will be glued down and blended in with the rest of the maple neck.
Failing Bridge :: 1971 Guild D25 Brown
A soft gooey glue joint is allowing this bridge to pull up from the mahogany top. It will be heated, removed, refit and re-glued. There are also small cracks in the Brazilian bridge between the bridge pin holes, so they will be repaired as well.
Blanking out bridge stock :: Chubbuck Guitars
Going through some lumber and milling bridge blanks. One will be for Rogue 005 and another for Kalliope 001.
