Hello all,
Hoping that someone can suggest a clean way to help remove the heel of this neck from the neck block.
This guitar came to me with the heel broken almost all the way through and wouldn’t ya know, the last little bit of the wood separated before the dovetail joint. I’ve had foam cutters in the space behind joint with some moisture to…

Plastic polish on french polish finish
I have been working through Robbie O’Brien’s french polish course and he recommends using a plastic polish. The product he used wasn’t available at my hardware store so I purchased this product https://www.meguiars.ca/3M/en_CA/p/d/v000190445/ and just want to make sure that this will not damage my finish.
I’d appreciate some feedback for a rookie finisher.

This 60’s Gibson LG0 mahogany came in with a little bit of the finish scraped off just to the right of the bridge as you can see. I’m curious if anybody has any tips on how to touch this up? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nick Hinds Shred Hochelag started the discussion Noisy bass pickup in the forum Amps, Pickups, and Pedals 8 months ago
Hey all. I have an ’82 Ibanez Roadster bass on the bench. The bridge pickup is their Super J4. My customer wants to tame the noise as much as possible. I’ve shielded the cavities to minimal effect so I’m thinking of wax potting it but before I do I just want to ask your opinions. The bobbin is quite thin and I don’t know what kind of material…
