The Thingsmiths ThingSmiths: People who work with Things

An On-Call Musical Instrument Technical Expertise Service.

Well, if you read through our page you'll realize that we obviously aren't right in the head, but when you see the work we'll do you'll realize that we're insanely good at doing it. Jokes apart, here's the real details:

Setups, Modifications, Overhauls and Restorations:

Well we can do all of that and many times more, our setups are based on experience as a player as well as the knowledge and und

erstanding of how each and every part of an instrument works, so once we're done with your instrument, it'll be everything you want it to be and more. Modifications, Oh how we love them, ranging from the "vain and simple" to the "complicated and technical" to the "bizzare and crazy" stuff. If you can think of a modification, we can most probably pull it off (unless you happen to be a crazier nut than we are). Overhauling isn't really something you get to hear about in relation to musical instruments, but Yes, it matters and it helps......a lot. We literally take the insturment (or a specific part of it) and dissasemble it down to it's pieces, after that, we work extensively on each of the individual components and reassemble the entire instrument (or part). Some of you may think it's un-necessary, but trust us (however deranged we may appear) it makes a world of difference, that's a lot of difference . Got an old instrument your grandparents owned and it passed down to you, or do you have a vintage gem lying around in a wasted state, lost and forgotten instruments....... well, then it's time to raise the dead:
Restoration is our most work-intensive and most technically demanding service. Age is no bar for an instrument, never was, never will be, not with us around. So that sort of sets things straight about what we do, so what are you waiting for write to us or give us a call, yeah!

Just some detail shots of the Ken Lawrence guitar we recently worked on. Is the craftsmanship everything one should look up to? You bet. After we were done with it, was the setup everything one should look up to? You bet.

What are those lovely looking stainless steel bolts out there for? That's right, they're gonna be installed into a bridge to replace the predictably aged poor alloy bolts.

Why? Because your gear deserves the best. K? K.

Why should you get us to service your guitar when it looks alright? This. This is one of the many reasons why.

Left side vs right side: you know your guitar needs servicing when the fretboard looks like the frets on the right. You know who can bring the fretboard from the right side to the left side? The Chief, so give us a buzz 😁

What do we do when a replacement isn't available in time and the guitar needs to be ready? We do what every reasonably capable technician should be capable of doing: we repair the part instead 💯👌

On today's episode of why your guitar needs servicing:

This. Yup. Pretty much 😅

Why try this, that and the other techie and end up with gear that's clean on the outside but dying inside when you can bring your gear to the ThingSmiths instead 😎

Just a funky lil thing from that we worked on recently.

Is setting up a headless guitar a completely different game compared to setting up a guitar with a headstock? Not really.

Is the intonation process any different on a headless? Absolutely, it's way harder and takes someone with a good understanding of gear to do it right.

Why take your headless guitar elsewhere when you could bring it to someone with a good understanding of gear (i.e. the Chief) instead? DM us today.

This AZ came in for a setup+servicing to be prepped for a long run of commercial gigs.

If you're serious about your work then you've got to treat your tools right, if you're lax and careless about your work then you ignore the upkeep of your tools, so are you a lax and careless musician or are you coming to us with your guitars? 😎😎😎

These new screws will outlive the bridge at this point 😅

Bonus "shims are terrible" reference in there if you swipe.
