Had some brass left over from my recent brass nut making so made myself a fret setter. Saved myself 30 bucks from Stew Mac....

Not too many firsts at my age but two in a week? First Chibson to grace my bench. They have even started using 2 screw truss rod covers and nibbed frets which were usually the two immediate flags.
Getting an Earvana nut and a set of Elixirs. Doubled the value 😁

First time working on a slimline Gibson Les Paul Custom - didn't even know it was a thing. Thinline body and a belly cut. Nice 😉

Installing a brass nut on a slimline LP - no blanks available anywhere. Oh well, couple of hours with a junior hacksaw and the block on the left has been whittled down to the blank on the right 😉

Happy New Year!

Hope you all had an enjoyable festive season and a rockin' new year.
Looking forward to seeing more of your finest over 2025!
My Christmas Guitar set up deal will run for the next week so if you've had a new guitar for Christmas you feel could play a little better book it in before midnight 7th January to enjoy £5 off (£25 instead of £30).
Wishing you all the best for 2025. Rock on.

Can't decide if this is madness or genius. Leaning towards genius to be fair - will likely stay in tune better.. Might just have an issue turning the tuners though.....

If it's your thing then all the seasons greetings! If not enjoy whatever you are doing.
Workshop closed over the festive period - back in the workshop on New Years Day.
And remember if you've received a guitar this Christmas and you want it set up my £25 Christmas set up will run until the 7th January so get it booked in before then ;-)
Bah humbug!

Last weekend to take advantage of my Christmas set up before the big day.
I shall be running it post Christmas til 7th January so if you've received a guitar gift you can still take advantage.

**CHRISTMAS SET UP SPECIAL - £25!!**

Guess it's time for my annual Christmas set up deal - £5 off the usual £30 price for a new guitar bought for Christmas! Learning to play any instrument is a challenge but having a guitar that plays less than ideal isn't going to help so make sure if they quit it's all on them 😁
The likelihood a guitar is set-up before being shipped are pretty low and it staying that way after bouncing down the roads of the UK are even lower.
So if you are giving the gift of a guitar this Christmas give the best guitar you can 😉
(Strings not included)

On the bench today - Taylor Baby which presumably had an over tightened truss rod that burst through the back of the neck. The culprit whacked a sticker on it and flogged it....

On the bench today - nice 2016 LP Traditional for some fine feckling. It's all about the prep 😉
Love that finish too..

Finally got round to sorting myself a website!
It's a fairly basic information site at the mo but I will look to expand it in the future with Gallery, Testimonials, may do a blog with tech tech tips and pet peeves and expand the functionality.
