Progress @shroprockdoctor on the controller interconnect & cable for the Line6 tube head. I have opted to use an 8 pin circular multipole connector with screw collar plug. The cable has been made up from a remnant of 6 twisted pair, screened 24awg Alpha Wire. This was leftover from cable builds for my Rocktron Bradshaw […]

Amp mod @shroprockdoctor. As requested by the customer this Line6 head has undergone a de-brand, having the LED edge lit acrylic logo panel disabled & blanked out with the customer supplied vinyl sheet. #guitarfx #guitar #rackeffects #homerecordingstudio #guitarrepair #caudio #amplifier #bridgnorthbusiness  #shropshire #audiorepair #audiorecording #fender #squire #fenderamps #marshallamps #ibanez #Epiphone #gibson #peavey #laney #mesa #hughesandkettner […]

@shroprockdoctor today we have Gretsch Setzer signature model number two belonging to Mr McCreadie. This guitar unlike its partner in last week does have a decent nut installed. Brief is to clean up the frets & again investigate tuning instability when using the Bigsby. My thoughts on this issue after speaking to Dean as it […]

Ibanez @shroprockdoctor. This one is mine but for a good while has required a service with regards to its wiring. So new bourns 500k audio pots & a general tidy up of all soldered connections. In addition, as this is mine & is definitely not pristine condition I opted to lose the obscene metal mount […]

Next up today @shroprockdoctor we have a Line6 Spider HD100 head for a couple of modifications. This Bognor designed 100w amp is a real tube head with an on board DSP. The first modification is to disable the LED illumination to the acrylic front panel & then cover the panel in the supplied material (purely […]

Brian Setzer Gretsch @shroprockdoctor back in its case & ready to be returned to its owner. Frets dressed & polished to remove some lower fret wear, new bone nut to replace the horrendous one that was fitted (I don’t think it was the original factory nut) & finally a new volume potentiometer. #guitarfx #guitar #guitarrepair  […]

Gretsch @shroprockdoctor gets fret damage sorted. The wear was consistent all the way up the neck but there were some nasty grooves in the first few frets. The quickest way for me to sort this properly was to do a fret dress, removing the damage to the point where there is still a slight visual […]

Someone asked me the other day how I was going to fish the new potentiometer into place on this Gretsch hollow body. Well, like this using a length of surgical tubing. The soft tubing can be fished though the F hole with needle nose pliers & then stretched over the shaft of the pot. Wiggle […]

New nut day for the Gretsch @shroprockdoctor. One of the reasons this guitar came in was tuning instability related to tremolo use. Doing a visual I decided it was most likely the piece of crap nut that was fitted. I don’t think Gretsch would have fitted that nut to a guitar of this calibre. Anyway […]

Power socket mod @shroprockdoctor. Picked up another Cyclades PM10 intelligent PDU on ebay for a few quid. I use these in my studio to give either timed incremental start-up to the big racks or selected output via the rs232 software. Cyclades PM10i comes 32A rated with a fixed monster cable & molded 32A commando plug. […]
