Eugene from The Vaselines dropped in a pair of identical Gibson Melody Makers for a refurb. Very RED…aren’t they?

In early 2013 we were asked to strip Mani’s 2 Epiphone “Jack Cassidy” basses so that they could be covered in an artwork by Glasgow artist and 2005 Turner prize nominee, Jim Lambie.

Well respected session guitarist Mr Duncan Findlay had purchased the Gibson custom shop Larry Carlton signature guitar (known as Mr 335) unseen. Unfortunately he just couldn’t get on with the neck!

This job was a bit of a strange one. The client was having isssues with the fretting on his Les Paul at the top of the neck and was convinced that filing the frets and the fingerboard between the frets would help fix the problem.

Here we fit a left hand Evertune system into a Fender Telecaster …left handed of course. The customer also wanted comfort routing to the body…

This is a lovely instrument. the guitar has been converted to left hand operation previously by another repairer. The job’s been carried out well with all the controls being fitted in the correct place…but the job was not finished, leaving unsightly unfilled holes in the top of the guitar.

This Taylor 314 had suffered from a fall resulting in quite a nasty looking, but a clean break, to the heel of the neck. I quickly saw a way to repair and reinforce the damage.
