Quite a busy week this last week with these two awesome guitars: a Jackson USA SL1 Soloist in Snakeskin finish and a Schecter Blackjack ATX C-1 FR!

The Jackson was suffering from heavy fret wear so a Platinum Setup was performed to ensure all frets were leveled, crowned and polished for optimum playability

The Schecter was booked in for a Gold Setup to strip it all down, deep cleaned and rebuilt like new as it was heavily played and in need of a full service, frets showed little signs of any wear!

This awesome LTD Alexi-200 popped by last week from Ignis Azura for a service, restring and tremolo adjustment.

Going from a heavy set of 11s, to a lighter set of 10-46s in Drop D, the tremolo needed some adjustments and a spring removing to ensure it properly floats, it's now ready and raring to shred 🤘🤘

This Fender Precision was on the bench this evening, brought in by bassist of The Kingcrawlers, Lee. Booked in for a replacement output jack and Mini Service.

The old output jack was worn out due to heavy use so a brand new Switchcraft output was installed, and a Mini Service performed to ensure the bass is playing as it should, and now it's ready and raring for their next gig! 🤟🤟🎸🎸

Also on the workbench this week was this gorgeous Ibanez S300 acoustic booked in for a brand new Fishman Neo-D sound hole pickup install

The cheap built-in jack that comes with the pickup was removed and hardwired in place to a brand-new chrome end pin jack which was also installed in place of the original plastic strap peg and the wires were tidied out of the way and dressed around the body of the guitar

A new bone saddle installation for this Aria acoustic this week, as the old one had turned brittle and had chipped in several places.

Once fitted, the action is sitting at a comfortable 2.25mm at the 12th fret and is playing beautifully once again!

A lovely little Tanglewood Acoustic was dropped off yesterday in need of a new nut, as the G and B string nutslots were worn too low causing fret out at the first fret.

The old synthetic nut was replaced with a new unbleached bone nut, which is now set to 20 thou (Low E) to 10 thou (High E) at the first fret, and is now playing beautifully once again!

This Fender Mustang bass was booked in this week for a Bronze Setup!

The bass came in with an unplayably low action, and a forward bowing neck, which was causing fretting issues around the middle of the fretboard.

Now the action is sitting at a comfortable 2mm to 1.5mm (E - G) at the 17th fret and a neck relief of 10 thou at the 8th fret, and is playing as good as new once again!

This gorgeous Friedman Cali was booked in for an emergency volume pot replacement.

The volume pot shaft had broken free from the pot, so a brand new CTS 500k Linear pot was installed in its place.
