Late 60's Gibson Trini Lopez Standard [8.7 lbs] :: refret & bad pots
This guitar had the deepest fingerboard divots I have ever seen. These divots were addressed along with receiving new frets. The pots were dirty as well since the "control cavity" is exposed to the elements on hollow guitars. When attempting to pull the harness to clean it I was surprised to find that the knobs were glued on! The neck volume pot broke upon removal and the bridge volume was replaced as well due to a bad taper.
Look for a blog post with more details sometime next month.

Phred Wolph [7.9 lbs] :: bad effects loop switch.
This is a copy based on "The Wolf" guitar built by Doug Irwin for Jerry Garcia in 1973. It has an onboard effects loop that allows you to send your signal out to your pedal board and then back to the guitar. The toggle switch that turns this loop on / off became intermittent so it was replaced with a new Carling DPDT.
