New nut to cut @shroprockdoctor today on this Epiphone Les Paul. Replaced the factory plastic with a bone one. Giving the frets a final polish & fingerboard a clean & oil before installing the strings so they won’t require removing again. Just requires some new witches hat knobs & it’s complete again. #guitarfx #guitar #guitarrepair  […]

New rug in the Shroprockdoctor workspace.

EVH strat is back together @shroprockdoctor with a few neck pocket mods. This guitar was assembled from a collection af parts, all good component parts but the fact that the neck heel was under size for the pocket & too short to achieve a correct scale length so making it impossible to set intonation. To […]

Boss DS2 Turbo Distortion in @shroprockdoctor for a power issue suspected to be related to the 2.1mm DC power socket. Nothing found to be visually wrong with the removed socket other than oxidation of the pin & contact but replaced it with a brand new socket anyway. While dismantled all audio sockets & remote control […]

Plugged holes in heel of Fender neck. This will allow redrilling in the correct Positions when the neck is placed correctly in the neck pocket of the body. The purpose of this exercise is to produce a correct scale length to achieve correct intonation within the operable range of the Floyd Rose bridge saddles. #guitarfx […]

So this EVH strat in @shroprockdoctor initially for tuning instability issues related to use of the Floyd Rose was addressed by installing a new bone nut as opposed to the supplied Floyd locking nut as the neck doesn’t easily lend itself to the seating of a nut of those proportions. Following the nut installation a […]

Taylor acoustic guitar just in @shroprockdoctor for a restring & setup. Owner has requested a set of Martin strings. #guitarfx #guitar #guitarrepair  #bridgnorthbusiness  #shropshire #audiorepair #audiorecording #fender #squire #fenderamps #marshallamps #ibanez #Epiphone #gibson #peavey #taylorguitars #martinguitars #espguitars #Jackson #prsguitars #fenderguitars #electricguitar #charvel #charvelguitars #floydrose #kramer #kramerguitars #peaveywolfgang #gretschguitars #patrickeggleguitars View this post on Facebook

Red Setzer Gretsch back on a revisit just to have the pickup mounting screws replaced with some nice shiny new ones. While servicing this guitar recently I found that the screws that passed through the soundboard into the void in the body had all corroded & one of the pickup mounting screws sheared when attempting […]

Revisit today @shroprockdoctor for the red & purple Setzer Gretsch twins. New set of D’Addario 10-46 strings & a slight fettle of the nut slots on the three wound strings EAD. Recently presented with a little tuning instability when using the Bigsby. Always better to have to relieve a little, far more tricky to put […]

Switched potentiometer repaired @shroprockdoctor. This will teach me not to check! Grabbed the harness for the Epiphone & fitted into the cavity putting in all the plugs. A short while later walking past the guitar still on the bench I pulled up the first volume pot shaft & clicked it back down. Tried to pull […]
