What I’ve been working on… 

With the sun shining and everything around the workshop looking lovely and colourful, it’s also great to have an equally colourful guitar on the bench. This killer 40th Anniversary Squier Jazzmaster was in today for a setup and a fret level. It
Easter Weekend has been a busy one so far. A lot of exciting behind the scenes stuff as well as some fun repairs. I spent my evening finishing this Gibson Explorer off. It was in for a new nut and a setup. It’s turned out great and I can’
I’ve had this very pretty Gibson EC-30 in for some fret work and a clean up. Really love the subtle lacquer cracking on this. Sounds nice and big. #gibson #gibsonguitars #whatsonyourbench #southamptonguitarrepairs
A Precision bass with Labella flatwounds is always the right call! This killer Squier JV Precission bass from 83 was on the bench today for a setup and a fresh set of strings. The neck needed a tweak as it had a back bow but luckily the truss rod wor

First time installing a True Temperament neck on a guitar. Luckily it was a breeze and managed to get it done whilst my good friend waited! He’s been on a mission to play perfectly in tune for years if this doesn’t work, I’m not sur
Already sad this has gone back home. This rebuild was so much fun and it turned out so well! Old Warmoth neck replaced with a Fender Roadworn neck and a new tortoise shell pickguard to spice it uk a bit! Looks and plays so well! #fender #fenderroadwo
A busy day in the workshop today getting through a few guitars. This very pretty Fender Paramount acoustic was in the bench for a setup and to sort out a few pesky fret ends too. Plays as good as it looks now! #fender #fenderparamount #whatsonyourben
