Spotty fretwork :: Allen Eden 335-style [8.1 lbs]

July 13, 2016

An import 335 style semi-hollow in for some setup tweaks. Mediocre fretwork is often par for the course on imports with uneven frets and sharp ends. We decided to tap down the high frets and dress the ends to improve fretting up the neck. The player uses this guitar for chord-melody style (ie Joe Pass) and strings it with flats

Seriously deep pick wear :: 2008 Takamine Santa Fe TSF48C [5.5 lbs]

June 26, 2016

Check out those gouges!!! The player of this freshly refretted Takamine uses metal picks and seems to keep the pick wear to very localized areas. I love seeing this stuff - unique legitimate player wear.

The video below is pulled from my Snapchat nonsense. Make sure you add me (@chubbuckguitars) so we can hook up!

Worn out frets :: 2010 Chubbuck Mousa 001

March 30, 2016

Six years of heavy daily playing has this guy back in the shop for new frets. I love how well this guitar has held up over the years, especially with how heavily Andy Mowatt gigs. Below you can see it's little brother Mousa 003 on the bench just before the neck was glued to the body.

Videos from the daily vlog of pulling the old frets and then leveling, crowning and fret end dressing of the new ones.
