One of the cool projects I got to work with on this year was helping Gabor put this guitar together, love the colour coded neck pickup from MrGlyn’s Pickups in NZ.
Watch the video to see the end result.

Just finished refurbishing these two guitars, it’s always good to see the end result and the owner’s reaction after you’ve completed the work. The Stratocaster in particular was looking very sad and tired when it first arrived.

Complete with heavier Ernie Ball strings and tuned to C Standard.
