Epiphone Dove Bridge Reset
This old 1960s Epiphone Dove was in absolutely awful condition when it came in damaged due to improper previous repair. The bridge reset was just the tip of the iceberg with this one! It had a full refret, fretboard planing, bridge repair and reset, headstock repair and refinish, brace repair, pick guard removal and replacement, new bone nut and saddle etc, Not only had someone super glued the bridge and pick guard, but they also sprayed poly all over top. It took a lot of meticulous scraping and sanding to get that off without damaging the paint.
1950s Tone Master Lap Steel
Bringing this old 1950s Tonemaster lap steel back to life was a fun challenge. Its electronics had some cold solders and a bad output jack. The harder challenge was just cleaning and lubricating all its parts. I don't think anyone had opened this thing up since, well.......the 1950s.
Mule Mavis
A Mule Mavis in for a setup. What an amazing guitar. The patina cone and tortoise pick guard make it look vintage but it actually has a modern tri-cone under the hood. There's also a humbucking pickup under the cover and a beautifully figured fretboard.
