This one is just incredible, a totally one off Jagmaster with Oil City mini humbuckers set-up in open E for slide! I'm not normally a big fan of offset style guitars, but this changed my mind!

Get in touch if you have something you'd like done!

26/07/2019

I absolutely LOVE this one! It's a Fender Jimmie Vaughan Strat that I've worked on a few times and I love this incarnation of it, it came in for a setup and rewire with Lace Sensors, it sounds awesome!!!

26/07/2019

This lovely Squier Telecaster came in for a quick setup and bridge pickup change and it's an absolute beauty! I'm very impressed with how these play and sound!!!

Get in touch if there's anything you need done with your guitar!

Another stunning Gretsch! This came in for a bridge replacement and setup, I've fitted a nice roller bridge to it and at some point, it may be back for a change of Bigsby to improve playability.

Let me know if you have a guitar you'd like done

This beautiful Gretsch came in for a wiring clean-up and setup along with the Sheraton and also turned out great, an absolutely fantastic guitar this one!

Drop me a message if you'd like some work done!

I've really been remiss in posting photos of the guitars I've done recently, so here's the first of a bunch of stunners! This Epiphone Sheraton came in for a wiring clean-up and setup and sounds lovely!

Get in touch if you'd like some work done!

This one was an absolute honour to work on, a 1962 Fender Precision Bass! In the 1970s, the neck had been poorly refinished and the pots replaced, when it came to me, I was tasked with removing the finish from the neck and sealing the natural wood in Wudtone Satin for maximum playability and replacing the pots with CTS 250k with a vintage correct Fender capacitor! I've also set it up with flatwounds and it sounds absolutely beautiful!

21/06/2019

This stunning Fender Telecaster came in earlier this week for a pickup change and a setup, I've fitted a set of Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders and set it up with 9-46s, it sounds awesome!

21/06/2019

Elroy the Jedson lives! The original neck on this had a knackered trussrod, so I replaced it with a new one, transferring the Jedson badge and retainer bar for some retro cool and also unscrewed the bridge to allow it to be moved for intonation. To finish I set it up with 10-52s and it went back to my Redwood Ridge sparring partner, Kenny Thom, last night!

17/06/2019

This beauty just went back to Stuart Russell after a smoothing of the fret ends, a setup with 10s and a relocation of the jack, which was previously on the control plate, the old jack hole has been filled with a mini toggle killswitch!

This one was a quick rewire I did yesterday, a custom build by Craig Telfer which is now up for sale! I've wired it with full size pots and the 5 way switch which auto splits the bridge humbucker in position two, giving one humbucker and four single coil sounds, sounds great!

Get in touch if you'd like some work done and contact Craig if you'd like to buy this one!

11/06/2019

This one's a bit special, a Japanese built Epiphone Les Paul Custom! It came in last week for a setup with top wrapped Roto 10-52s and a little touch up of the binding, it sounds incredible!

11/06/2019

Another beauty I did last week is this stunning Washburn, all I've done with it is smooth off the fret ends which were a little rough. It's awesome!!

Drop me a message if you'd like some work done this week, I have space :)

11/06/2019

This gorgeous Fender Paramount came in last week with undue battery drain issues, after a rewire, it seems to be working perfectly, just as it should! Love the colour on it too!

Get in touch if you'd like some work done, I'd be happy to oblige ;)

06/06/2019

Last but not least of the last two weeks worth of guitars is this absolutely incredible Tom Anderson, it came in for a quick setup with Roto 10s and it plays effortlessly! These really are special, what a guitar!!!

Get in touch if you'd like some work done!!

This lovely Gibson SG came in to have a vibrola tailpiece fitted and now it looks classier than ever! I've also set it up with Ernie Ball 10s, it sounds brilliant!

Next up, one of the nicest "Strat"s I've ever played!

06/06/2019

Another creation of Paul McLaren's is this hand finished Gibson SG, I've put the finishing touches on it by doing the electronics, fitting the hardware and setting it up with Ernie Ball 10s!

Next up, another very cool SG!

06/06/2019

Another awesome Tele I've had the sheer joy of working on, this one came in to have some Creamery pickups and a Stetsbar fitted, both incredible appointments on an unbelievably beautiful guitar!

Get in touch if you've got something you'd like done!

06/06/2019

I absolutely ADORE this one, affectionately named "P37D", it's a totally one off Telecaster designed by my great friend Paul McLaren, it's all kinds of awesome and I loved putting it together!

Get in touch if you've got a custom build in mind, I love this kind of thing!

06/06/2019

The McNellycaster came back in last week to have a new Fender neck and Wilkinson machine heads fitted, another improvement to an already great guitar!!

More custom Teles coming up!!

05/06/2019

This amazing USA Fender Stratocaster went back home last week after having it's action lowered and a setup in Eb, sounds incredibly Hendrixy!

That's all for today, more tomorrow!

05/06/2019

These stunning Les Pauls came in to have their machine heads swapped over and have both been setup in Eb, what a fantastic pair!

05/06/2019

I absolutely love this fantastic Takamine that came in to have a little fretwork done, it sounds utterly beautiful!

Get in touch if you'd like some work carried out!

05/06/2019

A good friend of mine picked this beauty up recently and it came in for a going over to set it up to his spec, it sounds great and I'm sure you'll see him playing it this Friday at FBG as he stands in for Earthbound!

05/06/2019

Loving the mirror vibe on this Strat that came in to have a new neck, machine heads, bridge and jackplate fitted and a set up with D'Addario strings, it's ultra cool!

Get in touch if you have a job needing done!

05/06/2019

This Jim Deacon came in for a little fretwork and a setup with D'Addarios, I'm very pleased with how it's turned out, it's a cracker!

Gimme a shout if you need anything done!

05/06/2019

This stunning Hamer came in earlier this week for a quick setup and to have its wobbly pickups sorted out, so I've set it up with D'Addarios and padded the pickup cavities with foam, it sounds great!

Get in touch if you'd like some work done this week!

05/06/2019

Check out the top on this!!! I fitted this Lindo with a Tusq saddle and nut and set it up nicely, it sounds and plays as good as it looks!!!!

Next up is this beautiful SX that I had the pleasure of working on for some very good friends of mine, I've set it up with Martin 10s with low action and it sounds wonderful!

05/06/2019

It's been an extremely busy few weeks and I haven't gotten round to posting what I've been working on, so here we go!
