This SG was broken into 3 pieces, we put it back together, refinished it, rewired it, polished, gave it a new set of tuners and a setup. Now it looks near new & plays great!

Headstock re-glue with refinish - it was so badly broken that we had to reinforce the breakage very well before refinish - a little sunburst is an affordable and effective way to hide crack repairs. Put new tuners on, a setup and it plays like new!

Active to Passive total rewire on a 69 Fender Jaguar Bass. Took a bit of work removing the active module, but this beast is now fully loaded - all the switches work perfectly with the new Bartolinis, opening a super wide range of tones.

Pickup swap 2013 Gibson to older Epiphone & vice versa. We removed the whole circuit board harness before re-wiring the whole guitar with 500k Gibson volume pots and 300k tone pots, jack & switches. Changed his capacitors too! Customer was stoked with the sound and service

Installing a new bridge. This job required the old holes to be carefully filled with wooden dowels, then a little color and clear coat over it, and finally to install the new bridge & file saddles. That's after a total rewire with push/pull phase install.

Semi hollow Ibanez double-color refinish job - customer wanted top and sides white while keeping the dark brown neck and back. Takes lots of time masking & taping each side to save the cream binding, f-holes and all, but it is done - and the owner loves it.

Airline guitar body refinish. Body was red (matching the neck), but the customer wanted it black. So we refinished it and gave it a tortoise pickguard & details, and finally a parts reinstall and setup. It's so shiny you can see yourself in it!

If your pickups are noisy, shielding with copper tape can help. We also shielded the back cavity on this one, and then soldered ground wires to the bridge. Looks simple but it takes a lot of time - a job badly done can make things worse. NO MORE HUM!!

onverting a right hand guitar to lefty - couldnt you just switch the strings around? For best intonation results, the saddle slot must be filled in and re-routed, and you'll need a new bone nut too! no problem
