2007 Seagull S6 Slim Dread [4.7 lbs] :: bad scarf joint repair and setup.
2007 Seagull S6 Slim Dread [4.7 lbs] :: lower saddle and cut string ramps in bridge.
The action was lowered by straightening the excessive relief in the neck via the truss rod and lowering the saddle. With such low saddle exposure above the bridge, I had to cut string ramps to increase the downward pressure of the strings to prevent buzzes and help drive the top.
2007 Seagull S6 Slim Dread [4.7 lbs] :: bad scarf joint.
A portion of the headstock's scarf joint is coming free so I worked some glue into it and clamped it. The owner brought this in for a setup but I'm including this repair too. Just can't help myself.
1987 Carvin DC-150 :: stripping the cutaways.
Here I'm sanding off the poly finish in the cutaways by hand. I didn't want to spread anymore of this poly dust around the shop than necessary, so I tied up this vacuum rig. Works pretty well!
