Chubbuck Guitars / Kevin Chubbuck, making & repairing guitars in an old building just north of Boston, Massachusetts.
Bridge Radius Mismatch :: 2012 Gibson Les Paul Studio [8.0 lbs]
The A string was significantly lower on this gold top Les Paul Studio with respect to the fingerboard and was causing fret buzz. The other saddles notches were filed down to match the radius and the action corrected. This was the most mismatched bridge radius I've seen yet on a tuneomatic.
Shipping Damage & Bridge Re-glue :: 1971 Guild D25 Brown [4.2 lbs]
An all-mahogany Guild dreadnought that came in with significant shipping damage on the bass side. The side cracks were glued and the finish repaired to help hide the damage. We also found that the bridge was lifting and cracked through the pin holes, so it was removed, repaired and re-glued.
Chubbuck Mousa 003 :: Lining the Rim
Installing the linings on a the current hollowbody build. You can follow along with this build at http://www.chubbuckguitars.com/hollowbody/mousa003
Loose Neck Block :: 1960's Aria Barney Kessel
The top is separated from the neck block and not providing much strength for the bolt on neck joint. Here I'm clamping the neck back to realign the top while gluing and clamping the loose area. The neck block had slipped so much that there was a significant stack of shims in the neck pocket to account for the fallen neck angle.
The bridge is also being refit on this hollowbody.
Output Jack & Setup :: 2004 Squire P Bass [8.0 lbs]
This P bass came in with the pickguard not screwed down, the output jack disconnected and missing the control knobs. I installed a new higher-quality-than-stock Switchcraft jack, new pickguard screws and new knobs. I also gave this bass a good cleaning along with adjusting the neck and action.
