An homage to a pre-ESP Hetfield guitar when James was slinging his custom '85 Jackson King V (Master of Puppets & Damage, Inc Tour era). If you haven't read the story behind the KBJ sticker well then off you go! New city… new picks. Hello Rochester! 30 years apart is the theme here. A ‘92 reissue of a ‘62 in for a setup in ‘22. This is a proper “fly on the wall” look at a straight-forward #stratsetup (bridge to body setup) with some extra cleaning needed. Hundreds of Strats later and I still get that excitement of those that play so well and sound so… straty? 🤨 Glass and chime, away with the grime Hello Instagram! After a very busy year of family and other life happenings I am finally getting back to Crown & Saddle! It was a difficult decision to make but I got through it. As these next few months roll on, I will be putting more focus on my business and slowly moving away from a full-time day job the best I can. Music and guitar repair is who I am and I have plans to build my website into a portent resource of free information. I will be interviewing musicians as well as my friends and acquaintances in the guitar repair world to help create a community of information and keep us all connected. I will be extending my business into the Rochester area as well. Thank you for your patience and not losing touch! www.crownandsaddle.com Gotoh upgrade on a beautiful #raimundo146 #whatsonyourbench #guitarrepair #raimundoguitars ‘74 SG refret. This guitar has seen my bench a few times over the past year for some upgrades. This was the last upgrade in the que. Congrats @oldmanandtheg, enjoy! #vintageguitarrepair #guitarrepair #gibsonsg #whatsonyourbench #individualthoughtpatterns #refret #guitarrefret Previous work on this Martin D-16GT left a musician with slowly rising action (0.150” @ the 12th). This was due to a poor neck reset by a “authorized” Martin tech where original factory glue still remained, and a still unknown glue/adhesive was used to put it back together. The glue joint slowly separated over time and the owner was eventually fighting with action twice his preference. Cure: Proper clean up and hide glue.
