Vision by MSA strat setup

* A Vision by MSA strat came in for a general setup.
It had huge action, the fretboard was dirty and the fretwire scratchy and tarnished. Had to also file down the nut slots.
Took care of everything and also checked and cleaned the electronics.












Epiphone AJ220

* An Epiphone AJ220 came in with a severe E kinked neck in the 12th to the 16th+ fret region.
I managed to carefully take it out by actually levelling the fretwire to compensate this effect.
Turned out perfectly and the guitar is very playable with quite a low action after the setup and a slight nut slot adjustment.
I'm really pleased with the results












                                                                     Before and after:












Solton A.P. Bass amp

* Repaired a Solton A.P. bass amp.
Changed all the plate resistors and the grid(2) ones.
One tube previously got destroyed and it took them out, so I changed all to new ones and redid the bias (set it a little colder).
Sounds great!

Here is a video with guitar and some pics below:
