One of our many places we worked on guitars in Nashville! This was a recording studio in Franklin !

22/02/2024

And we are away again! This time we are heading To Nashville!! We will be away from 22nd Feb with the workshop reopening on Monday 25th March. Steve won’t be answering phone calls, but will keep any eye out for texts and messenger. See you when we get back!

So… we talk about batteries a lot! Particularly about the chosen one . Today we were presented with an Ovation guitar that hadn’t been played or out of its case for at least 25 years. Steve was hoping the battery had been taken out, but it hadn’t! Luckily, Ovation’s design of having the battery housing away from the preamp meant that the battery acid didn’t ruin the preamp! The battery had leaked so much that Steve had to “deoxit” so he could pry it out of the housing! Moral of the story is …don’t leave a battery in a guitar if you are not going to play it…and use an energizer battery…they rarely leak! soundofheaven

This is a major reason why we teach “loop & bend” method of restringing!!! Took me 15 mins to get all the strings of this 12 string so I could restore the frets and clean it up! They were threaded through and just wouldn’t budge!!! Love “loop & bend”!!

Welcome to 2023! Steve is back in the workshop taking bookings as I type! Any buzzes? Forgotten when you last changed your strings? Saw an amazing pickup that you want advice on? Maybe switch out your TUSQ nut (plastic!) for a beautifully hand made unbleached bone nut! All is possible! Taking bookings and appointments now!
