It's been a while since I posted anything here but I have been busy none the less. Here's a Les Paul Studio that came in for a second head stock break. The previous tech just glued with epoxy. I installed splines and a new head stock veneer. Sweet sounding and playing LP. Thanks to Ryan Beighly for trusting me with it.

On the bench today a 1987 G&L ASAT. This one has a history. It was given to the owner by.... wait for it ... Mr . Leo Fender! It came to me needing some serious work. It had been left in a car and developed a 5/16” bend caused by the heat of the car it was left in. I’m told many luthiers tried to fix but all they did was tighten the truss rod to the point neck developed a split in the glue joint on the back of the neck. I was able to fix the truss rod, flatten the neck with heat sanding , filled the split on the neck, and re-fretted.Friends, this is the best sounding T style guitar I’ve heard. Perfect balance of s***k, bottom end , and sparkle. BTW, this guitar earned every bump and bruise on the road. Real roadworn!!!

Here's a project I finished a month or so ago. It's a Rick Turner( See Lyndsey Buckingham) Piezo acoustic. I couldn't find the before pictures but it had a broken headstock hanging by the fret board, 60% fret wear, neck re-finish ,new bone nut and saddle, and a re-buff and polish.This is the best sounding piezo acoustic guitars I've heard.

On the bench today an awesome Jazz bass. This bass I installed a killer retro-fit preamp a while back. It came back to install a separate battery box in it.
