Poor fitting old tusq or hand cut unbleached bone? Tusq is a great material, and it definitely has it's place, but let's not pretend that place is on a lovely old Lowden.

This one has just been sorted and fitted with a Power Tap Earth system, cause I offer Fishman now too!

This Sunday (7th June) me and my daft, heavy, touring tech case will be pitching up down at to tweak some guitars at a bit of a Teesside guitar meet up. There will be good coffee, there will be loud amps, I'll probably have some stickers with me too, if I remember them. What more do you want for nowt?

A fairly pink in for a few tweaks. I was really impressed with this. Super well put together, great fretwork (though it needed a very light dress), well wired electronics in nicely shielded cavities and a fantastic neck fit. All the things that all companies should get right, but often don't. Top marks.

Couple of belters in today. Nice nice.

Apparently it's been Bass Week. I can only apologise. Normal service will resume shortly.

I've seen a lot of this guitar over the years, here are a few of the things I've learned to keep it on the road. It used to need near constant maintenance, now it's maybe twice a year!

Just been making up a few of my precision-engineered, custom-designed, definitely-not-a-bit-of-copper-pipe WOBBLE STOPPERS. For when you want a Bigsby, but don't want it to do anything. They're very expensive, so don't even ask.

Love this one. This old Tele came in for some serious work. New frets, new nut, humbucker routing, new pickups, new tuners, all new electronics, witch hat k***s and a subtle new pickguard. All ready for to give it a good Irking! (I think they've got some gigs coming up but I'm not sure cause they don't really mention it...)

Anything with that ibanez logo is cool. The stock wiring wasn't though. Ripped all that out and put proper stuff in.

This is the correct way to put strings on your guitar. I don't want to hear your opinion. This is the correct way. No knots ("luthier" or otherwise), no "one over, the rest under" (unless you're dealing with those old klusons with the hole really low down the shaft), no discussions.

Do it like this, stretch your strings. Sorted. That's all there is to it. They won't fall off. They won't go out of tune. I reckon I've probably fitted well over a hundred thousand individual strings in my time.

This has always been absolutely fine.
