Boo Rain

A friend brought me two MacBooks left in the rain. Good news is i completely repaired one; the other- its a goner :(

Gutted

Replaced pickups, pots, switch, jack, caps, and rewired this voyage Copley 335 style guitar. Also reshaped the nut. Sounding like a very early LP now. Very pretty finish woot.

Strat Refret w/ vintage frets

     Just finished sanding this neck to a true 9.5" radius across the whole fingerboard.  It's surprising who many necks come fromt the factory with a slightly different/inconsistent radius than what the specs suggest - could be due to dull sanding equipment, old machinery, etc.
     Weeelllll anywhos, it's good to go now and ready for a refret. I'll be using .079" x .051" vintage style fret wire.  muuuy ¡Bueno!!!!


Broken Neck

I fond this Epiphone Les Paul on Ebay for $90.  It had a very badly broken neck (actually the headstock was completely snapped off...) that i wanted to fix.  Here are some pics from before and 2 updated pics.  I'm not finished yet, but it's almost there.
