David's green sparkle Rickenbacker bass. He wanted a single coil installed in the bridge (in place of the mute) we ended up coming up with the plan of adding it with a blend-in function and replaced the bridge pickup volume pot with a stacked pot (pickup in the bridge bypassing the selector switch) he can get some neat sounds with this bass, including out-of-phase. Fun project and VERY cool bass!

Initially popped this rail pickup in the bridge position (not even sure which brand it is). I just wanted a humbucker in there, but after one band practice it was clear that it had to go, it was squealing like crazy and didn't sound great. Some searching online lead me to this Mercury One jazzmaster/humbucker from Gemini Pickups. Already sounds like a massive improvement (looks great too!!!)

Matt's Matador fretless bass conversion project: Pulled the frets and added wood-filler to the fret slots and sanded the fretboard level. Also had to relocate the nut due to the "zero-fret". Replace the pickup and had to also relocate the bridge. All in all it turned out well!!!

Paul's Gibson SG. A broken machine head was the initial reason he brought it to me, I always try to fix a part before just simply replacing it, and was able to fix this one. The frets needed some love, so i took some time to clean up the fretboard and it all set up and playing like new!

Matt's Kay K20b bass. The electronics needed some attention and needed some TLC over-all. Was asked to create a rosewood saddle to replace the metal saddle and what a difference it makes! I learn so much doing this job!

Those that have been with us from the beginning will recognize this bench. Had some free-time recently and went to clean off the old work bench in my Dad's garage, the first home of Macic Hands guitar-works!
