August 26, 2012 in Finish, Restorations, Vintage Guitars Leave a comment

Here’s another great vintage guitar candidate for a body restoration. Only the body on this guitar has been messed with, so the order is for me to strip the finish, refinish it in the original color: Olympic White, then age it to look like the rest of the parts, which are all in original condition. … Continue reading →

Back To The Jazz Bass

Here’s a quick update on the 1972 Fender Jazz Bass, from an earlier facebook post. (much earlier) This is a job that nobody likes, including me. Today I have finally decided to strip the finish from this classic bass. It was poorly refinished, long ago, with a thick and hard polyurethane-type product. You know: something … Continue reading →

He stated that he had forgotten about setting it down after removing it from the back. Fortunately, it was in a hardshell case when this happened. (Photo staged for … Continue reading →

One of my favorite things to do is the cleaning and restoring of vintage guitars. It comes from years of working at Guitar Maniacs with my dear friend: Rick King. This is where my repair business started, in 1993, and grew into what it was, when I took it home in 2000. I am forever … Continue reading →

Having your instrument serviced by someone other than an Authorized Service Center could void your warranty, even if the job is non-warranty-related. Always make sure that you are using an authorized repair center, especially if you are the original owner. I have been getting a few cases where the owner had previously taken their instrument to be repaired, at the store at which they purchased it, only to find that they were not authorized, after work had already been done and voided the warranty.
