* A Warmoth lefty strat came in at some point with a lot of wiring issues, and other stuff.
- had to take some of the neck material from under the roller nut because it was slanted upward a lot on the thick strings side and gave a huge action;
- two fretwires were sticking out so I rehammered them, and also removed that grindy feeling on all and polished them;
- had to buy a new left handed trem arm, because the original was missing and the one it had was non original and didn't fit at all(it wobbled greatly);
- one of the saddle adjustment screws was literally replaced with a crap wood screw (pff!), and had to buy that as well (the ones that I had didn't fit the US screw slot in the saddles);
- had to sand down the pickguard a bit on the neck heel side because it couldn't be taken out without either taking off the neck...or the neck pickup ;
- rewired the whole guitar, with new CTS pots and also cleaned the Japanese vintage switch thoroughly (opened it, sanded/polished the copper contacts in it) -> it was a HUGE mess before;Turned out to be a GREAT guitar once again after all the procedures!
After:
Before:
* A Chevy Strat came in for a wiring touchup/partial rewire.
Great sounding guitar, someone put Fender Fat 50's in it, but the wiring was not the best, and some solder points were cold also, and I redid them. I also took out the ''treble bleed''.
Surprisingly, this is allegedly a Korean guitar, but it has Japan parts in it, haha.After:
Before:
*An Ovation 1655 Custom Balladeer 12 string USA came in with slight issues.
Changed the battery, redid a solder point on the jack Hot lug, and also removed some previous textolite height adjustment things probably put by someone in, but the bridge really did not need it. It is high enough anyway, without those.
Did not do a setup as the owner didn't request it, but I did polish and shine the fretwire, and it plays beautifully and feels much more alive now due to the removed tarnish from over the years. Also cleaned the fretboard, obviously.
Cool guitar, loved that I could test this out.
* Rewired a Fender US Precision Bass
Someone for some reason tinkered with it before...and they literally forgot to tie Lug1 of the Vol pot to ground...and obviously the volume didn't close.
As the wiring looked horrible, I redid everything and also cleaned the back of the pots and the interior and everything (I lik the way you can clean CTS pots down to the very last part).
Put an ERO 0.022uF cap in it.I redid the intonation only.
After:
Before:
* An Indonesian G&L Asat Deluxe Tribute Tele came in for a setup and some fretwire work(some were sticking out/had to be rehammered/sanded down/repolished).
I also repainted the screws. You can see how the frewire had micro scratches and was very tarnished before. Now it shines and feels great

da, e posibil, dar la toate pot-urile sau doar la cele de ton?
Am uitat sa specific ca, conectate imediat una dupa cealalta, am observat ca desi setarile au fost aceleasi, volumul principal la Custom Pro era cu mult mai mic decat cel de la Standard (aceleasi setari si toate pot-urile la maxim)
spike2 a mai fost la mine, initial crezusem amandoi, ca problema a fost rezolvata to some extent (am dat jos coverul de la bridge, si a AJUTAT, dar nu complet).
I-am mentionat si atunci ca wiringu e cam meh...si ar trebui refacut tot. Nu exista o chestie generala ce poate cauza asta, pot fi multi factori, de la lipituri ciudate, la cabluri venite cumva anume, pana la sensibilitatea dozei bla bla. Conzii iar pot fi, u can tap those and stuff.
Daca spike2 se decide, facem un rewiring total, pentru ca alta solutie nu vad
Tin minte ca era cam crap ce am gasit in chitara, si am spus si atunci ca ar trebui facut, dar omu avea nevoie de chitara mai repede.
I-am sugerat intre timp ceva interesant, for his own testing, sa poke around cu ceva gen scobitoare pe la fire si wiring, sa vada daca squealu se modifica sau dispare, sau se intampla altceva.
Either way -> Would need redoing .

Nu-s ''fan'' , dar postez si eu aici doua, ce mi-au trecut prin mana pt setup and whatnot.
As fi curios sa incerc si eu un model de gen https://www.thomann.de/ro/harley_benton_fusion_hsh_roasted_maple.htm
Un LP style Classic, si un 8 string fanned fret:

* Did a setup on a Harley Benton 8 string fanned fret and also cleaned the neck/polished the fretwires. Had to work on some and sand them down. I took one out and reinserted it, as it had accumulation of wood beneath it, and it stuck out.
The nut also needed some work, it was in a rough shape visually before, and I also made one slot a little higher using a technique that is very good, combining CA glue and dust from a composite nut (something I rarely do, and I usually change the nut and adjust accordingly, but for such a nut and such a small rise in the action, it was a quick fix, no need to change the entire nut, as this mixture is very tough and once polished it's slippery and shiny).
Some before after pics posted below.Before:
After:
* A Polytune Mini came in for a problematic switch.
I took out the switch, and gave it a very thorough clean. Works great now with no issues.
* Ibanez WH10V2 Wah repairs and mods.
An Ibanez WH10V2 came in, and unfortunately it had the specific stereo pot that comes with these pedals, broken. You can see the missing piece of track from the 50K side (it is a 50K +500K pot).
Luckily I found this model in the US, and bought 2 (for the future, just to be safe).
I also did some mods and removed some capacitors, slightly upped some resistors, so that it does not have that much tone suck anymore.It matches the IN and OUTs of the WH10V1 now. Quite a nice decent vocal pedal. The range of the pot however is quite difficult to get right as far as adjustments, but after you achieve that, it sounds perfect for the entire range.
*Epiphone LP Custom pickup switch cleaned/resoldered
You can see that before it was soldered badly and the ground was actually not soldered at all.
Fixed.Before and after:
________________________________________________________________
*HGE Contraptions Stutter/Killswitch Pedal
122nd pedal built
* General setup and cleaning on an Ibanez Artcore AG75 Hollow Body.
Polished and made the frets smooth, also adjusted the nut height in the slots.
The input jack was very loose and almost fell into the body, so fixed that as well (it was missing the nut also). Electro parts cleaned.
Before and after pics below.Before:
After:
* A Harley Benton L-400 LP (lefty) came in for a setup and some maintenance.
The owner wanted it tuned down low, so for the scale of 24.75" that this particular guitar has, I chose 13-62 for a general C tuning(works dropped to A# also, with a decent light feel to it when dropping the C so low).
Had to adjust the nut slots for the thicker gauge(can be seen as a comparison with the old regulat strings haha).
Also had to sand down some fretwire, also removing the typical grindy feeling to them, and giving them a shine again.
Cleaned the electro parts as well.Before and after:
________________________________________________________________
* A Fender Classic Series 72 Telecaster Deluxe came in for a setup and some general maintenance.
Swapped and adjusted the new nut to fit (the old one was too low, and worn out), had to reglue a part of the finish back on the heel as it wanted to peel off a bit, as it cracked. Did a fretwire polish although it is pretty worn, but still good for a few years. Cleaned the electro stuff and adjusted everything.
Unfortunately I could not get a very low action like I usually strive for, but that is the actual condition of the fretwire now, and I worked with that I had: the action is now 1.2 mm at the 12th fret and 2.2mm at the last one on the high E, and 1.5mm at the 12th fret for the low E and also 2.2 mm at the last fret. Some actually do this as a regular setup, but I usually prefer lower. It should be re-fretted in the future. However the sound has a nice body to it due to the medium/high action.Some before and after:

* A fast repair on a Marshall TSL100 footswitch.
It will come back at some point because it was tampered with anyway and I want to make it all right, in all.
The customer and I compromised because he needed it right away due to a concert, and I did not have a dpdt through hole switch available, just like the original, jus ta 3pdt with holes.
No problem, since the switch is mechanically fixed on the actual enclosure, I just soldered some leads
* I replaced the footswitches in an Akai Headrush Delay.
One got destroyed, and I changed both just to be sure in the long run
* I finished a Friedman BE-OD Clone for someone, and I modded it to make it a little more versatile and tamed.
A group of four diodes was replaces with two ZTX951 transistors used as diodes, and the internal trimpot was taken out as an external pot.
Very amp like sound, usable now from lower gain settings to more aggressive ones.
Exactly like the owner requested. 121st pedal builtPics and YouTube sample:

Tot cu 22 de freturi si din perioada 80-90 este si hot rod reissue (hrr). Mai tarziu au aparut si alte modele: Richie Kotzen signature, Aerodyne, etc
Tot poluam topicu omului si ia free up dar
ma simt nevoit sa raspund iar...sa-mi fie rusine, mai ales ca am reglat un Kotzen tele pff.
Yeap.

Renasterea unui JCM 800 ciobanit
Cineva s-a gandit sa opereze ampul scotandu-i partea de egalizare si o lampa jumate din circuitul de preamplificare; urmeaza refacerea preampului si a eqului si "lansarea la apa"

am primit poze ,iata setup-ul de pedale pe astea " dansam "
Pe Marshall erau amplificate soundurile de shintetizator iar pe Orange soundul de chitara astfel nu se imbarligau in difuzoare armonicele cand aveam volum mare .
haha, Arpi, compressoru ala verde rocktron e unul modat de mine
il recunosc dupa knobul ala (am si uitat ce facusem haha)
