Complete setups including intonation, restrings and truss rod adjustments, Fret leveling, re-crowning and polishing. Nuts and saddles out of graphite, bone, tusk, reproduction plastics and brass!!! Modifications for guitars and basses like bridges, tuning machine heads, and Inlays. Tremolo addition, repair and mods for less string breakage and better intonation! Electronics mods like pickups, rewi
res, treble bleeds, different switching, and recaps. Probably my favourite types of mods because I use the absolute TOP quality materials and advanced wiring techniques. THEN YOU NEED ME TO WIRE YOUR GUITAR! Refinishing and binding fixes. Complete colour changes, swirl dips, splatter jobs, vinyl overlays. New or custom bindings for bodies, rosettes/soundholes, bridges, heel blocks, fretboards and headstocks. ALL YOUR INSTRUMENTS NEEDS. DONE RIGHT! Also available is antique/vintage/rare instrument consultations. Don't spend your hard earned cash on bum instruments that will never play properly again and/or require massive amounts of work. Or waste your money on deadbeat sellers asking an arm and a leg when I can find it for you for a rock bottom price! For those who have the money... I can get you that '61 all original Tele you have lusted after since you were a kid. Or that '59 goldtop Gibby. For all of these services with piece of mind contact Ryan at
