Customer Rod brought his LP build back after we did a stainless refret on it about 4 or 5 months ago, for rewire and full setup.

He’d fitted the bridge and tailpiece but had forgotten to insert the Earth wire into the hole where the tailpiece anchor goes
So I got to try out the new bushing puller that I made last week.
All good! 👍
