Repairs performed

Pickups, pots, all electronics Your Pickups are installed at $60 for the first and $40 for each additional. Potentiometers are supplied and installed at $25 each. We have an extensive inventory of switches, output jacks and capacitors; ask me about wiring modifications and upgrades!

Hand Wound Pickups: Wound for maximum clarity and highest resonant peak. We can overwind for hotter output or back off a little for more headroom. All styles available including PAF style humbuckers, Vintage strat single coils using heavy formvar wire, Telecaster and P90. Repairs are performed in the least invasive way; sometimes we can back off a few winds, find a short and reconnect for a new lease on the life of a vintage coil.

Bridge Reset $160 plus set up

-Bridges on acoustic guitars often start to lift at the back, sometimes coming all the way off. This happens all of the time, and the fix is called a Bridge Reset. First the bridge is completely removed and all finish and adhesive is removed from the surface of the guitar and bridge. Then the area is carefully masked off and the bridge is reinstalled with a series of specialized clamps and fish glue. After curing, the bridge pin holes are reamed to remove adhesive and we can proceed onto the set up.

Neck Reset Start at $450 plus set up, refret recommended

-Neck resets change the neck angle to allow for better action and greater playing comfort. High action can cause intonation issues and difficulty in playing. With a Neck Reset, the neck is removed, material removed from the heel of the neck, and then reattached with proper dovetail (if required) adjustment.
