A nice one this, just needs a little TLC.. Nothing much wrong with it really, just needed a little bit of a clean and oil.. followed by a standard 5 point setup.. 1. The neck set… A little high so a turn on the truss-rod… 2. The action at the 12th fret… a little high […]

Guitar Tone Improvement
Want better tone from your guitar? Even with good quality pickups you can loose signal through the tone circuits. Set to 10 there is still some signal going through the variable resistor and capacitor. There is a solution, variable resistors that go to open circuit when at max, thereby disconnecting the tone circuit completely. This is a Stratocaster I upgraded recently. These […]

Rickenbacker 360 – Service and Setup
Anyone who knows me will know I’m a Rickenbacker fan, and this is a fantastic example… Nothing much wrong with it, just needs a bit of a clean and setup with new strings..I’ve always though 12 string heads look too large and cluttered but Rickenbacker got it right. With the strings of I first gave […]

Custom built Telecaster
The owner wanted to build the electrics himself so I’ve just got it back to complete the setup…. Looks good so far…First thing first, the neck set…It’s just a little high so I’ll need to tweek the truss-rod. Unfortunately the screw is on the bottom of the neck so I’ll have to take off the scratchplate. […]
Fender Jaguar – Full setup
Always had a soft spot for the Jaguar. I don’t think it’s ever really received the credit it’s deserved, always in she shadow of it’s big brother, the Stratocaster, pity really. There was nothing much wrong with this one, it just needed a little TLC and tweek here and there on the setup….As always I […]
US Telecaster – Cleanup
Whenever I get anything through the door there is always a thought, would I like to add this to my collection? This was a real yes and no! Yes its really nice but no, its left handed. What it needs is a little TLC, well a lot of TLC, a good clean and a fret dress. Under […]
