Today I had in a late 1980s Yamaha RGX112 guitar. This guitar was inherited to the client and they wanted to get it playing well so they can play it. The guitar is basically a super strat of sorts, with the 24 fret fretboard, 16 inch fretboard radius, and neck heel contour. It is really…

Today I had the chance to work on a Peavey Raptor 1 guitar. It is a cool little strat clone that needed some love. When the guitar came to me, the strings were jacked up off the fretboard like crazy! It was really difficult to play this guitar. No fear, I was able to get…

Today I had the pleasure of working on a Gretsch Double Jet guitar in Surf Green with white back and sides. This thing had mojo! All the client had asked for is to get this guitar setup with some new strings. He is switching to 10-52 gauge strings on this guitar. He likes the extra…

Today, a Martin Custom X Series 12 String Dreadnought acoustic guitar came into the shop for a setup. This guitar’s action was wildy high, measured in at 10/64ths of an inch off the 12th fret, it was super difficult to play! Luckily, the client brought the guitar to the right tech, and I was able…

Today I had the pleasure of working on a 1990 Gibson Les Paul Standard guitar. This was a very early 1990 example with the original Bill Lawrence circuit board style pickups with 4 conductor wiring! It came in needing a lot of work. The guitar needed all of its electronics re-wired and a potentiometer replaced.…

This was a small person project of mine, for my personal pedal board. I have a Dunlop Volume (X) mini pedal which can be used for either Volume control or as an expression pedal. Now here is the catch, you can’t use the expression pedal portion of the pedal when it is plugged in for…

If you’re here, you’re probably wondering why you should have your guitar or bass setup. I’ll tell you why! You want your instrument to feel the best it can in your hands and be easy to play, and most importantly, your guitar probably sound better than ever! The feel of an instrument is one of…

Today I had the pleasure of a 2007 Gibson Les Paul Supreme come in for some work. This was an interesting instrument, something I have not had my hands on before. Not only that, this was a limited edition model, with only 400 Made for Gibson’s Guitar of The Week series in 2007. Some of…

Here is a Ibanez GSR205SM Bass Guitar which came in for electronics repair and got a setup. Two wires in the control capitaly became disconnected when the potentiometer came loose and the whole potentiometer turned. A quick look at the wiring diagram allowed me to get it back up and running as good as new!…

I had the pleasure of working on an all original 1965 Fender Mustang in Dakota Red. What a great guitar to work on! This guitar just needed to be set up for some heavier gauge strings due to the Fender Mustang’s shorter scale length of only 24 inches. Everything went great, and now plays amazing…

This guitar came in with the 12th fret pearloid trapezoid inlay popping up. A little bit a glue and clamping later, this inlay was not going anywhere! A simple adjustment of the truss rod, bridge height and intonation, and this guitar was ready to rock!

This guitar came in with an aftermarket neck and a host of other issues. The 12th fret was not fully seated which was causing really bad buzzing on the neck. Once seated and secured, a full level, crown, polish job was performed on the neck. With a fully executed fret job, I was able to…
