2009 Fender Tele American Special / Warmoth [8.1 lbs] :: neck carve and setup.
The neck is a Warmoth birdseye maple '59 carve that was thinned a bit and refinished with tung oil (wiping varnish). Frets 12 and up were leveled and the neck set angle adjusted for the Mastery bridge. The 3-way switch was intermittent so the contacts were cleaned as well.
Fender Tele body / Warmoth neck :: neck carve.
I'm thinning this Warmoth '59 carve down a bit for a player and refinishing it with Tung oil (wiping varnish).
"Fender" Strat [7.8 lbs] :: late-night quick setup.
A player stopped in last night as he recently noticed that his Strat was beginning to fret out with big bends on the upper frets. I removed the neck, tightened the truss rod, and raised the saddles back up to the original action. This helped clean up the sustain in his bends.
I love being able to support gigging players.
Note this is a Chandler Industries body and a Warmoth neck. I didn't have time to pull the pick guard and check the pickups.
