This Gibson just in for a setup AND for sale!

Gibson Custom Shop Songwriter Performer! $2500 w/case

Square shoulder Dread, Sitka Spruce top with mahogany back and sides. Nice active Fishman Pup from the factory, unmarked rosewood board, set up with nice playing action and room to go lower.

Some small stand rash on the back of the neck but still feels great to play!

More set ups! Got this Lefty Seagull playing a lot nicer!

Lefties are always a challenge for me since so much of set ups is by feel, but this came out good and customer was happy! I took the action down from 4mm to 2.25mm, nice and playable while still having some booming tone. We also decided to throw in 80/20 strings which just really complemented the guitar!

Just set up this pointy Jackson!

This one gave me some troubles but we sorted it all out!

Set up with 10s in D Standard with sub 2mm action and no buzz! First fret gave me headaches on headaches, but got it not buzzing, had to loosen and unloosen the truss rod a couple times, for the neck to start to sit properly, and had to give the first few frets a kiss. Had to play with the electronics a bit. This was a guitar from out west and it just did not like our salty air at first but she is ripping now, chugs and squeals

Replaced a pot and set up this bitchin 80s Guild S-100! Kim Thayil vibes.

This set up included lowering the action, adjusting the intonation, replacing a volume pot, cleaning the rest of the connections. Opted to not polish it as this guitar had too cool of a vibe!
