I can do most electronic modifications, “Hot Rod” wiring, intermittencies, pick up replacements, wax potting, re-fret, crack repair, refinish, headstock reset, neck reset, bridge replacement (electric & acoustic, including custom wood working on older out of production acoustic bridges).
Other structural breaks (I’ve resurrected guitars so badly broken that they were literally dead & buried…ask me) Basically I can do most anything that needs to be done.
I am also a custom builder and do so on a “by the order” basis. I love to brainstorm with you and bring your concepts to life. Prices again are less than the “custom shop” guitars on the market, and we would be creating a ONE OF A KIND instrument. I have also built faithful, weathered, historic replicas of some famous guitars before the “relic series” guitars started being offered from the major manufacturers. If you want a “Lenny” or “Stevie Ray’s #1”, I can do it…the sky is the limit!
