2002 Martin OOO-16SRGT :: top and headstock breaks, K&K pickup install.
This top has cracks that were previously poorly repaired. I ended up installing twelve reinforcement cleats in total under the five cracks. Ideally I would have liked to have completely undone a few of the crack repairs to yield a more cosmetic repair.
Thankfully the headstock cracks were not previously repaired and I was able to start from clean breaks. A K&K Pure Mini pickup was installed as well.
1976 Gibson ES-175D :: new stainless steel frets.
This guitar is going through a trial run on my new Stew Mac neck jig. I’m really digging it so far!

In the shop for a restring.
1972 Yamaha FG-110 :: restring.
I have reset the neck on one of these 110’s before and it turned out to be one of those great sounding guitars that sticks in my memory. This one unfortunately is similar in that it needs a neck reset to greatly improve the playability.
The player had to replace the B & G tuner buttons on his Larivee D-03R.
Very creative solution using mini buttons on full size tuners. He commented that he ordered the wrong ones, but I say leave them on for character!
