Hofner Committee tuning key and nut repair
And another one — putting it in general as while this is an acoustic, the particulars are more relevant to the brand than the type of guitar. This is a very early Hofner Committee (serial 20XX, maybe 1954?) that has suffered some minor blunt force trauma. The mounting posts for one of the tuning keys snapped. While repros may be available, I…

Old yamaha classical guitar — top crack repair + top crack repair repair
Hey y’all,
Got another interesting job I’d like some advice on. It’s a 70s yamaha classical the current owner inherited from his father. At some point it developed a rather nasty top crack, to the point that I’m thinking the job would involve fresh spruce being applied in there. That’s routine enough at least, albeit uncommon for New…

Corey Williams Noank Guitar Repair started the discussion DeArmond Rhythm Chief Install in the forum Electric Repair 7 months ago
Hey!
I had a customer drop off an ultra clean 60’s L4 and he has a repro de Armond rhythm chief he wants installed.
Does anyone have any experience installing these with minimal modifications? It has the pole that mounts on the fingerboard which I’m hoping is the only mod.
I ordered a repro guard and it will need to be notched for the pickup and…

Fender P Bass-Plus -- Switch short?
Friends – I have an unexpected problem with my 1989 P Bass-Plus. I suspect that the Series-Parallel switch is grounding out (ie, short circuiting) when the 3-position pickup selector is in the P pickup position (disengaging the J pickup and all 3 pickups). I am waiting for feedback from Fender as to whether there is both a wiring diagram for…

Mike Kugler Kugler Guitars started the discussion PRS Custom Wiring Question in the forum Electric Repair 8 months ago
Ok. I am stumped.
PRS Studio is in. 3 pickups. 5-way selector switch. 2 pots.
Here’s the dilemma:
Customer wants two concentric pots installed.
The front pot would be volume for the neck & middle pickups on the top knob, the bridge volume bottom knob.
The rear knob is for tone. Top knob controls neck & middle pickups tone, bottom controls the…

Alex Aguado Guitar Teckery started the discussion Yamaha SL550 fret job in the forum Electric Repair 8 months ago
Refretted my Yamaha Studio Lord 550 with jumbo frets. This is my second
fret job. First was on a bolt-on BC Rich neck. The Studio Lord (Les Paul copy) was my first set neck
project. It is pretty good. No fretting out. I set the action at
4.5/64 on bass and 3.5/64 on the high strings. Today I noticed that if I bend a high F to G (13th fret… -

Budget ukes build; screw-up and recovery
This is equally suitable for “New Build” and “Repair and Restoration” sections of Share Your Content…!
I have recently done a few posts on Instagram about my plan to build a number of “cheap and cheerful” ukuleles which will (I hope) promote both my brand and the little country of Luxembourg, where I live. They will be on sale in a craft…

Court McClelland Resonation Guitars started the discussion Fret Crown File Marks in the forum General 8 months ago
Hi Everyone,
What do you feel is the best way to remove the file marks from the frets after leveling and crowning with a fret crowning file?
I’m happy with the shape and overall feel of the frets after crowning so this is an aesthetic issue more than anything.
These are the files I’m using. The centered versions of 150…

John Burke Mojo Mobile Guitar Repair started the discussion Cello neck repair in the forum General 8 months ago
Greetings all! I’m repairing a student-level cello, neck snapped off at the heel. I removed the fingerboard and reattached the neck with hide glue. It was a pretty clean break, and fit back together nicely. My question is – some sources say to reinforce the neck joint with 1 or 2 dowels before attaching the fingerboard, some say don’t…… Read more
