Case studies...
The examples below detail some of the processes of restoration, modification and repairs to a few guitars that we have been involved with.
From "basket case" projects, to necessary repairs and improvements, as well as cosmetic makeovers....
1976 Fender Stratocaster Restoration
This 1976 strat had many years of tobacco staining and discolouration all over the body and headstock. The pickguard was also damaged.
Epiphone Blackstone restoration
This 1938 Epiphone Blackstone arrived in a bit of a sorry state with splits to the body top, a crudely added cut in pickup and control panel along with a bowed neck and poor neck to body angle. There was also some missing binding and the back was falling off!
Gibson EB0 1967 restoration
This bass arrived with its finish stripped off, an added rear pickup rout which had been filled, a broken pickup, no other electrics, and no fretboard!
Fender Telecaster fitted with a Parsons Green Hipshot B Bender
The owner of this Fender Telecaster guitar asked for a Parsons Green Hipshot B bender to be installed to the guitar.
Gibson Nighthawk refinish
The owner of this mid 90's Nighthawk was dissatisfied with the sinkage and cracking that had occurred on the paintwork, particularly on the body so decided that a complete strip and refinish in Pelham blue was in order.
1964 Fender Jazz bass guitar body restoration
This pre CBS Fender jazz bass arrived looking rather gloomy. The body had been repainted many times. There was black over white, red, grey, primer, more red!
