A fairly simple job, the setup wasn’t that far out. Having said that setting up a Floyd Rose is never easy! Before the setup I’ve also added a treble bleed circuit. It stops the quality of the tone from fading and going “woolly” as you back off the volume. Before I start the setup I also gave […]

Gibson ES355 for sale
Came across this little beauty the other day. Wow! a 1962 Gibson ES-355 in fantastic condition. I’ve seen 5 year old guitars in worse condition than this, it’s been loved and looked after. Let me know if you are in the market for something special!
LAG – Broken Headstock
Ouch! not a easy fix this one either, quite a complex break. I had to remove some of the splintered wood s that the parts would fit back together. Since the split went 2 ways I glued it in 2 stages, first the back part…and then the front by injecting some thinned glue directly into the […]
Gibson Les Paul – Fret Dress
It’s very sad but even the big boys turn out duff guitars sometimes. Nothing that can’t be fixed, but you really shouldn’t have too!Not really a very good advert especially as it’s a special edition… There are some really high frets causing some nasty fret buzzing. The only way to sort that is to file […]
Musicroom Saturday
Hello all you Guitar Lovers. Got any problems? If so catch me in the Musicroom, Lincoln on Saturday. I’ll be there from about 10 to 3 for minor repairs and advice or just a chat.
Ibanez – New Scratchplate
Quite a nice guitar, just been a little damaged… Can’t really fix that, but I know of a firm that’ll make me a new one. While I’m at it, the customer wants the new one in Mint Green rather, than another black one.The parts swapped, ready to fit to the guitar.I’m going to remove the protective […]
Squire Stratocaster – Setup
A nice new guitar. They can be good guitars but, sadly, they don’t seem to have the time to set them up properly in the factory. They just need a little work to make the most of them. While I’m at it the owner wants all the protective plastic removing, not actually as easy as you […]
Banjo Pip
Not exactly a guitar but it’s still got strings… The pip for the 5th string had been damaged so it won’t hold the string…A fairly simple job to remove the top and drill out the old pip and fit a new one. Cut it down to the right height and cut the slot in it. […]
Ibanez Bass – tidy up
Another great Bass. Seen some action so needs a bit of a tidy up. It would be a shame to do too much though, it’s got it’s age and use written all over it. Something I hate are the new “Road Worn” guitars but this one’s got that way from use. There were some black […]
Rickenbacker 4003 Bass
Now that’s a Bass! Probably right at the top of my wish list.. I’ve always been a Rickenbacker fan. This one doesn’t really need much doing, basic setup and remove the bridge pickup cover.Easier said than done, need to take the strings off for one. While the strings were off I gave the frets a quick […]
