What better way to welcome in 2023! Here are some Gibsons (mostly) from last year. It was a busy hectic end to 2022 & now trawling through my pics with posting fingers at the ready #gibsonguitars #guitarrepairs #hummingbird 🤟

Custom shop relic strat: the fingerboard had been over rolled during a previous re-fret so was removed & replaced, then re-fretted in stainless steel. A Fender bone nut & clay inlays finished the job off. #fenderguitars #customshopstratocaster

Bridge re-glue on a Martin, various acoustics hanging around waiting to be worked on & a scary surprise inside a Hofner! I’ve found all sorts of things inside many guitars but another time. Gibson J45 during setup #martinguitars #hofnerguitars 🕷

L-R: Bigsby install & fret dress on Gibson special LP, re-fret on Gretsch Country Classic, fret dress stainless frets on Ernie Ball MM, 2x Deans both fret dressed & various electrical issues sorted. #gretschguitars #musicmanguitars #deanguitars

Andy Summers mid boost install: Drill out mini switch & additional pot holes, rout new cavities to accept PCB & battery, screen bare wood using conductive screen paint, install all parts & wire up, make covers & fit. #telecaster #customisedguitar

Lemmy bass finished. Started off as a standard 4003 Mapleglo & now ready for the road! #lemmykilmister ♠️ #rickenbackerbasses #motorhead ♠️ #borntolose ♠️

Had some nice basses in over the last few weeks. Status, Sadowsky, another Status & Rickenbacker all had fret work & setups. #statusbass #sadowskybass #rickenbackerbass

Staying on the bass theme with a Sire Marcus Millar M7 in for an electrical issue & setup. Harley Benton fretless. No idea how they make these HB guitars & basses so cheap, they’re good value for money & usually play great after a setup! #sirebass #harleybenton

Arch tops: Vintage Encore re-fretted, Hofner re-fretted & headstock break repair, Epiphone Casino re-fretted, Gibson 335 fret dress & setup. #encoreguitars #hofnerguitars #epiphoneguitars #gibsonguitars

Belated happy new year! It’s been a while since my last post but thought it was time for some social media waffle, so here goes. This 68 Jazzmaster needed some tlc. New binding, frets, nut & full setup. Oh & some nice new nitro on neck 👌 #fenderguitars #guitarrepairs

Strandberg Boden: Customer wanted stainless frets, abalone inlay dots with a gloss finish & super low action. Went for a nitro finish on the neck to preserve that all important tone. #strandbergguitars #guitarrepairer

Randoms: Suhr during final checks after setup. Westone Thunder 1A during re-fret. Mandolins & Uke waiting for final checks, (got to have some variation). Yngwie Malmsteen strat during screening/pickup install. #suhrguitars #scallopedneck 🤟🎸
