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!

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!!!

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!
