2009 Fender Tele American Special / Warmoth [8.1 lbs] :: neck carve and setup.
The neck is a Warmoth birdseye maple '59 carve that was thinned a bit and refinished with tung oil (wiping varnish). Frets 12 and up were leveled and the neck set angle adjusted for the Mastery bridge. The 3-way switch was intermittent so the contacts were cleaned as well.
2007 Gibson Les Paul Studio [7.5 lbs] :: replace tuners and set up for drop D.
This came into the shop absolutely filthy with only three strings on it, the G tuner bent and the D tuner shaft broken off. I spent a good amount of time cleaning the entire guitar before replacing the tuners with a new set of gold Grover Deluxe's. The bridge was also cleaned, lubricated and the saddle slots recut.
Note this is one of the lighter LP's to grace my bench since I picked up the scale a couple months ago.
2007 Gibson Les Paul Studio :: quick case handle repair.
I offered to replace this broken electrical-taped Gibson handle but it was not in the owner's budget. So of course I had to at least improve it with zip ties. It is still a sticky shoddy mess but at least shouldn't let go for a little while. The damn thing almost fell to the ground when I picked it up initially - scared the shit out of me.
Fender Tele body / Warmoth neck :: neck carve.
I'm thinning this Warmoth '59 carve down a bit for a player and refinishing it with Tung oil (wiping varnish).
2012 PRS Modern Eagle Quatro [8.3 lbs] :: tremolo setup for 11's.
Maple body with a jet black finish and a thinly finished Indian rosewood neck.
