Very cool 1946 Gretsch Synchromatic.

1st issue, Neck had an extreme bow and no truss rod.

2nd issue, the finish had a super cool patina but was flaking off with the slightest touch.

Turned out to be a super neat archtop after all was said and done.

Super cool project that came through recently.

1961-62 Fender Esquire Tele.

The task was to get a neck pickup installed with no permanent modifications. Luckily, Esquires have the neck pickup rout already from the factory.

So I built a clone pickguard and set the neck pickup into a foam shell. No screws and no routing. Just a clean Bare Knuckles Brown Sugar neck pickup to complement the original 61 bridge pickup.

The electronics were very simple to swap to standard Tele with a 4 way series/parallel switch. All the original parts are in the case so that it can be put back to factory specs if so desired.

All that was left was some fret dressing and good setup and the end result is what made the Telecaster a household name to this day. This thing was nice to say the least.

Speaking of exotics. This is a super cool Warrior nicknamed "Bella" that I got to get my hands on a while back.

Check out the contours of the body paired with that wild burl.

Very exotic number that you dont see very often.

A Collings LP/JR / Jazzmaster hybrid.

All it needed was a simple setup with some freshening.

These are masterfully built instruments from Austin Tx.

Heres a cool Anderson that had been loved for a long time. Some fret work later and its ready for more.

Super cool repair that came through recently.

An all original 1968 Gibson SG.

The original "fretless-wonder" frets had given up and needed to go. So they were replaced with a factory width, but taller profile, fret to keep the look original while giving it a modern/cleaner feel.

Was a very special treat to work on and the owner was in love all over again with it.

2 necks routed and fitted to their respective bodies. Both ready for frets and glueing.
