PHOTOS OF A FEW OF MY BUILDS & REPAIRS AT VARIOUS STAGES OF CONSTRUCTION.

AND JUST BELOW IS A TECHNIQUE CALLED SCALLOPING BETWEEN THE FRETS.

This is a Chess Board that I'm in the process of making into a 6 string, using a P-90 Humbucker & Strat style neck I've just got to finish the headstock on.

This is a Cigar Box Guitar that I've recently built for the first time, but it's got 6 strings and a Humbucker unlike the usual 3 strings.

1965 Fender Telecaster which has had the ruined Fretboard removed, and in the bottom photo you can see the donor Fretboard I've removed and got ready.

1965' Fender Telecaster with the ultrathin neck, it's been owned by the same man since it arrived at the shop to me actually, these are all the before and I'll show you the after-effect once I've managed to save the Fretboard as who ever worked on it before me should be stopped

A Pre-Amp I've just built using a large plastic PP9 battery with Vol & Tone & input & output Jack's.

This Harmony Acoustic Guitar had super glue on one side of the body & the Frets were worn down and the fretboard needed cleaning.

Avalon Semi-Acoustic pre-amp guitar, needs the pre-amp replacing for a newer version and some cosmetic bits doing too

Fender Stratocaster with a chipped Nut and setup

Zakk Wylde Epiphone needed a new Nut, wiring problems and fretboard clean and fret dressing and crowned edges, but I always do a free cleaning of the fretboard and smoothly buffing of the frets to make things like bending the strings much smoother.

Burnishing the top of this Telecaster body I've made, then I'll give it a light sanding before address a very light pastel surfgreen.
