ROTD: Replacing a broken truss rod in this ES-335TD. After removing the fingerboard and the maple strip covering the original rod, I replace the broken rod with the new one you see here. The maple strip next to the rod has a curved bottom matching the truss channel in the neck. Once installed, the strip will force the new rod into a curved shape that will straighten the neck when the truss nut is tightened.

ROTD: Headstock breaks are a common problem with mahogany necks, and occasionally they are too severe to glue back together. In those cases we graft the headstock to the neck using a new piece of mahogany. Over the years crafting these mating blocks has evolved from a time consuming eyeball-til-it-looks-right job to one using better and sturdier jigs that hold the severed headstock during the fitting and gluing process. And with that belabored intro I present the head grafting jig 2.0, featuring a ball socket clamp that allows easy adjustment to the headstock orientation, attached to a sturdy aluminum square tube clamped securely to the neck.

ROTD: This mass of wires is a "Jimmy Page" harness going into a Gibson 335. The four push-pull pots provide a combination of different tones: independent coil tapping, phase and parallel/series wiring, with this particular harness being modded with Gibson's 50's era tone pot wiring for a built-in treble bleed. The linear layout and abundance of zip-ties help with the always fun installation into the hollow body. The custom made aluminum wiring jig secures the components in place while bolted to the board below and can rotate 360 degrees for easy access to all sides of the harness during the wiring process.

ROTD: Despite best efforts to protect my bench covering, even marine-grade vinyl suffers from drops of glue, errant blades, drill bits, etc. and needs to be replaced once in a while.
