Repairs

We always love seeing a nice strat walk through the door. The customer brought this in for us to work our magic and make it play the best it can. A setup and a level/crown of the frets is all that this needed to be amazing once again. This one is definitely drool worthy.

A very sweet Fender 5 string Jazz bass was in because the owner felt as though it was playing a bit stiff and not as nice as it used to. We determined that the neck had too much relief and needed a full setup. We did a setup and swapped out the strings and this now plays like butter and brings all the low end. Such a cool bass.

Just off the bench is this Taylor 214CEDLX. The customer brought it in because of it having unusually high action and wanted it to play like it did when it was new. After a quick evaluation, we were able to determine that it needed to have the neck re-set. Did you know that Taylor guitar necks are bolted on so it makes neck sets quicker and easier to do? After a neck set, level/crown of the frets, a setup, and a fresh set of Elixirs, this guitar plays like butter again.

Now here's a drool worthy top...Brian Moore always does an amazing job with their maple tops. This customer dropped this off to do a setup and a light level/crown of the frets. We threw on a fresh set of GHS boomers and now it's ready to rock

WHOA, check this out! We always love ESP and LTD guitars, great playing, great sounding, and great looking. This LTD Eclipse was in to have the pickups swapped out for the Seymour Duncan Mark Holcomb Alpha & Omega set, a set up, and to set the Evertune in Zone 3. This was fun to work on, killer guitar.

Sometimes all you need is one...pickup that is. This shredder partscastor was in because customer was having an issue with some extra noise. We were able to determine that the previous owner had re-wired the jack incorrectly which was causing a grounding issue. We re-wired it and now it's ready to shred again.

Just off the bench is this Gibson Hummingbird Pro that the customer was not liking the sound of the factory electronics. We removed the old pickup system for him and installed his passive Fishman pickup. This one is a beauty!

This beauty came in to get back to playing condition after it had sat for a while. A nice setup, fret polish, and a fresh set up D'addario Strings and now this is ready to melt some faces again.

This is the first time that an Artemis guitar has walked through the doors and we are very impressed. This is a shredding machine with some cool specs and a see through back control panel. We did a setup and it is ready to rip.

A very cool Gibson L6S was in for a level and crown to help with its badly worn frets. Fortunately, there was enough fret left to do a level and crown and a set up, it is now ready for the road again.

This Epiphone 1956 Reissue Les Paul was previously someone's project guitar that was never finished. It came to us with most of its parts removed and sitting in the case. We re-installed all of its parts, restrung it, and set it up. This Les Paul has a wonderful feeling neck and is an absolute joy to play.

Just off the bench is this Fender Duff McKagan bass. The customer wanted the bass to play a little nicer, so we leveled and crowned the frets, set it up, and threw on a fresh set of Rotosounds. It now plays like a dream and sounds killer.

Just off the bench is this Yamaha CSF1M acoustic. The customer noticed with the increased humidity that the action was high and didn't play as nicely as it did before. We brought the saddle down to help combat this and now the guitar plays like a dream again.

We just wrapped up this ultra nice Taylor 324ce. This guitar has been played a lot in it's short life and already needed a level/crown of it's frets. A fresh set of D'addario strings and this is ready to be strummed again.

Just off the bench is this sweet Pelham Blue Gibson SG Special. The customer dropped this off to have the stock bridge P90 swapped out with the Arcane Phil X signature P90 for a little extra grind. This one is a fun one to play!

There is just something iconic about a vintage white Fender Strat and we love what's going on with this one, vintage vibes with some modern twists. This was in for a set up and a well needed level and crown of the frets. We threw on some Ernie Ball 10's and it's now ready to hit the road.

Just off the bench is this Epiphone Les Paul Custom. The customer was having some issues with it cutting out, we opened it up and found that the jack was the culprit. We also set it up and threw on a fresh set of GHS strings.

This very cool Squier Tele was brought in because the customer was looking to make it a bit more traditional. Originally the guitar came with a white pickguard and a humbucker in the neck position. We swamped out the white pickguard for this three ply Fender pickguard and installed a Tele neck pickup. It's back to the original formula, which Leo got right from the beginning.

Just off the bench is this Fender Strat with a level and crown of the frets, a setup, and a fresh set of D'addario strings. We love all the mojo that this start has going on, love the pickguard and knobs!

This Jackson is all about high performance and it was in to get that fine tuned. We set this up with some low action and restrung it with some Ernie Ball Super Slinky's. It's now ready for some shredding.

Just off the bench is this LTD KH202 with a brand new EVH D-Tuna. Since the Floyd Rose trem is recessed, we routed out a channel under the D-Tuna in order for it to be able to be engaged. It's all ready to rock!

Some guitars need no introductions....and this is one of them! It's Iconic, legendary, and hostile. The customer brought this in because of a weak bridge pickup and he wanted to swap the positions of the volume knobs. We found that the pickup switch was dirty and was causing the pickup to sound weak. We sprayed it out and then swapped the neck and bridge pickup volumes. It's now ready to be played and played loud!

If you are from the Powell area you may have seen this guitar playing around, lots of miles on this one. This Taylor 416 was in need of a fret level and crown, setup up, fresh battery, and a string change. It's all ready for the stage agaon.

This Martin GPC-X2 came in with some unwanted buzz on the D and G strings from playing fret wear and some high frets. We dressed the frets with a level and crown, set the guitar up, and restrung it with a fresh set of strings.

Whoa, just jaw droppingly awesome...a pre CBS fender is in all of its glory. This 1964 Fender Start came in because the customer was having some issues with the volume pot cutting out and it needed some setup work. We opened it up, cleaned out the electronics, filed the frets, got it all setup and now it's playing like butter. This strat is ready for another 60 years of making music.

It's always a fun day here when a vintage Gibson walks in for us to work on. The customer brought in his very clean 1967 Gibson ES125T for a new bone nut and a setup. This guitar just oozes cool!!!! What more can you ask for, great tone and it's an absolute joy to play!

Influenced by one of Mick Mars strats, this customer wanted Seymour Duncan pearly gates pickups in the neck and bridge and a vintage style single coil in the middle.
