Some acoustics I worked on this week. #coleclarkguitars #coleclark #martinguitar #guitarrepair #guitarrepairshop #whatsonyourbench

Gibson ES-135 on the bench for a set-up. #gibson #es135 #archtop #guitar #guitarrepair #guitarrepairshop #whatsonyourbench

Pick-up swap: replaced the wide range humbuckers with a set of Curtis Novak Bass VI pick-ups. Made a set of custom pickup frames to make it all fit. #curtisnovakpickups #fenderstarcaster #starcaster #guitarrepair #loothgroup

New frets for an old Ibanez Musician Bass. #guitarrepair #ibanez #ibanezmusicianbass #thepolice #sting #whatsonyourbench

Beautiful vintage Hoyer H3060 archtop on the bench. It had only a volume control but it sounded too bright to the liking of the owner. So instead of changing the pick-up I installed a tone control pot and a Mallory cap.

Next level guitar nerding.. A customer bought the Red Telecaster Pick-up set plus wiring from That Pedal Show. He wanted me to install the set in his Telecaster and he wanted me to see if I could set-up his guitar to the same specs as Dan Steinhardt’s Red Tele. Challenge accepted. #redtelecaster #thatpedalshow #montyspickups #guitarrepair #telecaster #dansteinhardt

New frets for an old Yamaha. #fretnot #luthier #luthiers #theloothgroup #yamaha #guitarrepair

90’s (I think) LAG Custom superstrat on the bench for a set-up. Quilted top, reversed headstock, HSS, 12” Ebony Board, Floyd (of course) and jumbo frets. 🎉

No, I’m not drinking at work (although this happens to be my favorite whisky). These bottles are perfect for storing my shellac / alcohol mixture. Applying a few coats on the back of the neck of this Junior I started building many moons ago. I just love French polishing with some music in the background. #peaceful #guitarbuilding #frenchpolish #lespauljunior
