Boss CE-2 Japan Clone (119th pedal built)

* HGE Contraptions clone of the BOSS CE-2 vintage Japan chorus. I am thrilled that I got the chance to do this. First ever chorus built, and full analog using MN3101 and MN3007 ICs.

119th pedal built!

Posting some youtube samples as well, in comparison with my very own Boss CE-3 1982 Japan version:






Ibanez Paul Stanley PSM10 Setup

* Ibanez Paul Stanley PSM10 Setup (+ nut filing, rehammered some fretwires that were sticking out, and cleaned the fretboard).
Decent guitar for a Chinese model.

Tenson Bass Rewiring

* Rewired a Tenson Bass, and also put some autoadhesive 3M sponges to make the pickups respond better to height adjustments and to not wobble around and be more rigid (it had...a piece of cardboard installed before..LOL )




Legend Japan Stratocaster switch change

* Changed the faulty switch in a Legend Strat




Jackson V RR Setup

*A Jackson V RR came in for a setup.
Cleaned the floyd (it had a ''lock'' poorly done on it), I did it floating, cleaned the neck, polished the fretwire a little, etc.
Also had to shim the nut with a Schaller shim.











Yamaha Hundred B212 Combo

*Had a Yamaha Hundred B212 Combo come in, which needed the speakers swapped (former ones were blown). Luckily the owner managed to find exact replacements on eBay.
Electronically, everything was ok, but I did clean the pots and others.

This is one very cool sounding amp, for a solid state.













Ibanez JS100 Setup and Nut Swap

* Had in an Ibanez JS100 that needed a setup. The owner bought an OFR, but the nut had a 15'' radius in the set (R10), which was totally not usable for this guitar's radius. Bought another OFR R2 nut, which fit the bill.
