Raised skunk stripe :: 2001 Fender Precision Bass Special
The walnut "skunk stripe" on this P bass is proud of the neck. It is fairly distracting to your left thumb while playing, so it will be glued down and blended in with the rest of the maple neck.
Failing Bridge :: 1971 Guild D25 Brown
A soft gooey glue joint is allowing this bridge to pull up from the mahogany top. It will be heated, removed, refit and re-glued. There are also small cracks in the Brazilian bridge between the bridge pin holes, so they will be repaired as well.

1960's Silvertone 1488 Silhouette [7.4 lbs] :: bum switches & broken truss rod.
A bunch of work went into this guitar. The removable truss rod was broken (and missing the adjustment nut), a small crack near the nut between the neck and the fingerboard, the original rocker switches were shot and the pickguard had shrunk and become distorted.
First the truss rod was repaired and the neck crack glued. The switches were replaced with a Jaguar setup, and the pickguard mounting holes in the body were plugged and the guard re-mounted with new screws (I also added a few screws between the pickups and the neck to hold down the puffed up pickguard). The tuner bushings were replaced as I could not source a replacement for one that was missing. A neck shim along with a new bone nut finished off the setup. These DeArmond Silverfoils sound incredible.
