2008 Martin D-41 Special [4.8 lbs] :: junky nut tuning woes

Boston guitarist Jon McAuliffe stopped by the shop recently as he was having tuning issues.  After inspecting the nut I found a few of the slots had been filled with a soft material at one point.  Luckily there was enough string clearance to file through the junky fill into solid bone without any open string rattles.  While working on the guitar I found that the leads for the pickup's sound hole mounted volume control had completely broken free.  The wires were re-soldered and hot-glued to the volume module before reinstalling it back into the guitar.

ESP LTD B-206SM [11.4 lbs] :: six string bass setup with D'Addario EXL170-6 nickel wound strings.  This thing is a beast!

While working on the bass I found that the E string's tuner split post was squeezed together and broke upon removing the string.  The broken tuner still functions, but I wanted to get the bass back to the player over the holidays while sourcing a replacement in "Cosmo Black".
