Happy Thanksgiving from Bridge City Guitar - sending massive thanks and gratitude to everyone that has supported me and the shop over this past year. I'd give you all a hug just like I did this half of a Martin. But you please keep your necks attached to your bodies.

Made this Ibanez Custom Agent a little more Page-friendly the other day. The stock bridge radius didn’t allow for maximum bow-ification, but now, it do.

I have a fantastic sounding instrument for sale - 1942-45 Gibson A-50 that sounds as good or better than just about any A style l've heard. Really full voice. Replacement tuners. Original case, frets have good life left. DM me if you have any questions!

I’m less active on FB than I used to be - but I wanted to pop on and share that the first merch for Bridge City Guitar is up for grabs on my website!

Bridgecityguitar.com/shop will bring up the preorder link for the new shirts! The preorders will close 4/24, and I should be getting the shirts sent out by 5/15.

Friends in PDX can also pick up their shirts or I can deliver them to you to cut down on shipping costs!

There are also stickers if you feel like supporting without adding more to your wardrobe 🙂

Shared this on Instagram a little while ago, but here’s a fun little humdinger from a few months ago.

This Mustang bass was having grounding issues due to the lack of conductivity in the nylon tape wrap, and even fully shielded it still picked up too much interference for the customer's liking. So I whizbanged together this metal thumb rest that has a ground wire underneath connected to the pickguard shield. That way, anytime your thumb touches the rest, it completes that ground circuit without having to rely on a string ground or active electronics.

Also did a fretless conversion, which turned out my-tee-fine I think.
