* Setup on a Jackson JS32 Natural Finish
Sanded some fretwires+ cleaned/polished them + sanded down the trem cover because for some reason it did not originally fit haha, and one of the neck screws did not go all the way in, had to drill a little more into the neck.
On this particular guitar, the neck was a little too deep into the neck pocket IMO, and the angle was a little weird, so I added a shim.
Plays great now, with good action.
This remains now a hobby, but I used to do: Handmade clones of Guitar & Bass Effect Pedals / Effect modding / Rewiring and Guitar Setups+levelling+refrets / Amplifier Repairs / General Audio Repairs

Fender USA Stratocaster build for myself
* I bought the parts separately to build myself when I have the time a Fender US model, compound radius Deluxe neck from 9.5" to 14", schaller tremolo, a professional US body, with an S1 and superswitch switching, Duncan 59 Custom Hybrid, a Lil 59 in the middle and an SH2 in the neck.
I also replaced the crap stock nut with a Graph Tech one. The pickguard is a 1:1 US made clone in acrylic matte.
This will be a very cool guitar in the end

Mad Prof. Snow White Autowah Clone with mods (115th pedal built)
* Just finished a Mad Prof. Snow White AutoWah(for the same person for whom I did 4 other pedals previous to this),and it's absolutely great! Doesn't alter the tone at all, and it's very touch sensitive (I did some mods for that). Cool pedal! Really useful if you don't want a classic wah. This would be my 115th pedal built!

Epiphone Custom Pro LP tinkering
* An Epiphone Custom Pro LP came in for some severe oscillations coming from the bridge pickup(an aftermarket DiMarzio was installed previously by someone else)
Ultimately I took off the cover and got rid of the problem to some extent (did that to the neck also, so that it would be aesthetically pleasing).
It will most likely come back at some point for a rewiring, as I noticed it wasn't that good, and possibly the additional issues come from the whole wiring.

Pickguard Adjustments for my custom strat
* I did some precise sanding adjustments to turn a custom 1:1 US strat pickguard copy made from quality acrylic , to fit the Schaller F style trem. You can see before and after pics :)
Marshall JCM900 Maintenance
* Changed the filter caps in a Marshall JCM900 and changed the power tubes and rebiased+pot cleaning.
This is the 5881 version 🙂
