gimme a ring, we’ll work it out
Ranging from basic setup to full fretboard inlays.
just like a car, regular maintenance is the best way to keep you and your instrument sounding like new
sometimes it’s just easier to get someone else to do it. someone like me! does not include autoharps, (over twelve strings 2 dollars per string)
A full tune up! New strings, neck sighted and adjusted, action and intonation set, clean and polish. Great once a month for any serious picker or shredder! As well as that dusty axe just waiting to be retuned! acoustic or electric
This priceless invention can do wonders with the right set up. Includes everything that the basic set up does plus: thorough cleaning and setup of the tremelo system, spring tension adjustment, and electronics check.
some times we need a bit more
whether the weather is good or whether the weather is bad or if you just got upset with your bass player, cracks happen.
again, cracks happen. depending on the case these can be extremely easy or extremely difficult repairs. In any case save as much wood as possible and take the strings off immediately.
Using the Dan Erlewine neck jig, strings are taken off while the neck remains under tension allowing accurate neck adjustments to one one-hundred of an inch, frets are polished, electronics checked and serviced (if applicable), and all basic setup steps included of course!
What’s that humming sound? Why does my amp “crackle” when I turn up the volume pot? How come when I touch my strings the hum goes away? All questions usually answered by a poor or old wiring job. In this service wiring components will be thoroughly cleaned or replaced when needed. All solder connections checked and/or repaired. Bridge ground checked. Guitar or other stringed electric device will be free of any unwanted “buzz”.
Repair your existing side dots or get new ones all together. Also, repair existing fretboard markers that are damaged or falling out.
Bring in your own idea to customize your stringed instrument with mother of pearl, abalone, exotic wood, semi-precious stone, or metals. The sky is the limit. Bring me a challenge and make it happen! I also offer standard “tree of life” fret board inlays or I could simply inlay your name in script, block or mimic your own signature. Make your instrument; YOUR instrument.
no strings? no problem! offering inlay on most any wooden item. just let me know what you have in mind and we can pull it off! also ask about theremin customization… if your into that kind of thing.
