Pocket repair to a vintage Partscaster in progress. Cleaning up the router issues and filling in the gaps. Heel contact and fit resolved.

Duesenberg Starplayer in for setup and full spa service. Every piece of hardware on a Duesenberg is designed, engineered and produced by Duesenberg. A work of art, in my opinion, and built like a tank.

A vintage Warmoth ash body gets a facelift. After roasting and sanding, I finished with several applications of Tru Oil and sanding between coats. Used all original hardware and added a laser cut birch guard. He renamed it Yellowstone. Body is lush and smooth. Message me if you want something similar. 🤘🎸

“A brand-new Marshall and an Epiphone, if you dial it in right, can sound like a sunburst Les Paul through a vintage Bluesbreaker”: Joe Bonamassa explains why great tones are “much cheaper than people realize” The blues ace and vintage guitar collector says you don't need expensive gear to get classic tones

Guitarists tend to trudge through whatever conditions and challenges our guitars present to us. You don’t have to follow that pattern. Your guitar usually has more to offer you but needs professional attention. Message me with your questions or issues and I’ll advise you and provide a quote. 🎸🤘

Good idea? Yes or no?

Friday humor. Have a great weekend, Central Texas!

Miss NOLA is a Custom Thinline brought in for a well check. We built this guitar for the client and enjoyed seeing it and setting it up again. The client plays 4 nights a week and it’s his #1.

A full cleaning and spa treatment can help preserve your guitar’s wood, electronics and hardware; including enhancing the performance of the instrument.

Fresh stainless frets ready for final polishing. Hand-groomed the old-fashion way and made to last, stainless frets have the best shelf life of any material.

Compression crack on headstock caused by over-tightening the tuner. Unfortunate consequence but merely a nuisance. The topcoat is affected but not the paint. A gentle sanding with a reapplication of poly and it’ll disappear. Careful with your tuners. Be gentle and patient, while feeling for a secure bind and a firm hold.

Another Gilmour Switch mod on a standard Stratocaster is now in the books. It’s a popular modification with my clients. Upgraded pro gut harness with an Oak Grigsby 5-way switch, Switchcraft jack and a 033 Orange Drop capacitor driven my 500K CTS potentiometers. The mini switch is a 3-amps.

With the new expanded pickup options and by adding a jumper from the bridge to the tone k**b, the analog tonal capabilities on this Strat are wide-ranging compared to a standard Strat harness.

Rewiring a Stratocaster today. For this job, I’m using solid brass shaft potentiometers made by Musiclilly. No branding but a superior pot with all the features of CTS and more.

Diamond nut files by Music Nomad have a rounded cutting edge that helps to solve the common binding issues that typical “V” cutting edges can’t do by design. Makes our life easier and the guitar’s performance better. Simple solutions to complex tuning stability.

Not all jacks are created equal. Pure Tone output jacks are our most popular jack of choice, with double the normal contact points and an extra level of cable locking grip for peace of mind.

Dual micro switches installed on this Custom split the humbuckers and offers a series of cool variations to the standard pickup tones. Superb craftsmanship and a pleasure to work on and play.
