Hello fellow wanderers. It's been a heck of a ride but after 19 years I'll be taking JBC Guitars down to a part time thing to explore other interests and avenues. Moving forward it will be by appointment only. If you need something worked on call, text or dm and we'll set a time. Thank you for your support and friendship and letting me do me all these years. Take care of each other. I’ll play myself out…..

Oh Gibson, never change. Break? What break? This one was about as bad as they get. Almost sheared off at 90 degrees. Stronger then new now.

Properly levelled, crowned and polished frets are critical to how a guitar plays and attaining proper string height, intonation and playability. Sadly most factory “fret jobs” fall far short of the mark in one way or another. Call and ask about our fretting services or stop in the shop. Fastest frets in the west.

From an idea,to a plan,to fruition in less than 6 weeks. This one’s unique. 5 strings tuned in fifths. Certainly a unique build with some challenges but I’m thrilled it gets to go home today. If you’d like something made I can help with that, if you want to learn to make one I can help with that too. Also a reminder I won’t be in the shop the first 3 weeks of July. It’s time to go enjoy some fresh air with my ever loving and supportive wife Tracy, (some may say long suffering), and family. Have a great summer and be nice to each other. That’s all it takes.

Coming soon to a player near you, after I’m done watching paint dry. Well kinda like paint but not really paint.

Happy Wednesday. Todays fun, a real turn that into this scenario. Or a tedium now at medium scenario. Making Mjolnir (aka) Thors hammer from white Mother of pearl.
