Here's what the spready-thingy was for.

My client wanted to change the pickups in his Godin, so to fit them I needed to hack into (and through) the braces. You know what happens when you do that!

Enter the spready-thing! Two chunks of pine with room for the braces to fit through, arched on the guitar-facing sides, with a cork buffer. Two small wedges that fit in through the f-holes were tapped into the spready-thing to do the spreading.

I made it as a prototype, but it actually fit so well that I am going with it!

Shoutout to Jay for the awesome wiring job he did! These pickups make all the sounds now!

I also pinned the bridge. 📌

And NOW the guitar is in the hands of its very happy, very creative, and VERY patient owner!

Yo. I was just so in The Zone that I prototyped a solution and now it's in the guitar doing its job, and the only thing I've got to prove I did anything for hours, besides sawdust in my hair, is this pencil sketch that came about as I was building.

Any guesses what it is?

😘

I love The Zone!🌀

This Ibanez SDGR bass came in with some delamination between the top and back layers at the horn. I benefitted from getting some perspectives from my pals on ( , , .stone.guitars ).

I clamped horn to force the layers together, and drilled out the strap button hole for a plug (so going forward the strap button won't be able to act as a wedge between the layers).

I released the clamp, slid in some epoxy, epoxied the plug in, and reclamped it.

After curing, I drilled for the strap button and made the whole thing look pretty again.

The strap button lasted the way it was for 15 years. Hope this sees another 15 at least.
