HGE Contraptions Closing

I want to officially announce that I will no longer be handling HGE Contraptions, due to personal reasons and time. Consequently, I will NOT be taking any more work of any kind whatsoever.
Of course I will finish the pending work I have, but that's about it. Thank you so much for your 12+ years of cooperation and the appreciation for what I did here. I will possibly fall back to playing with musical instruments again/make my own music, as I have done until some years ago, but didn't have time.
All the best!

*********************************************************
Vreau sa anunt in mod oficial ca nu ma voi mai ocupa de HGE Contraptions, din motive total personale si ce tin de timp. In consecinta, nu mai preiau nici o lucrare de nici un fel.
Desigur ca voi finaliza lucrarile ce le mai am , dar cam atat. Va multumesc mult pt cooperarea de 12+ ani si aprecierile pt ceea ce am facut. Posibil sa ma rezum doar la a ma distra cu instrumente muzicale/face muzica proprie, cum am facut pana acum ceva ani, dar nu am avut timp.
Numai bine!

Kramer 300HST Korea (87-90)

* Some extended work on an older Kramer:

- wiring done from scratch
- added a foil on the pickguard
- sanded/repainted the rusty screws
- bridge humbucker tapped for 2 screws per side (like the pickguard is)
- took out the old flattened fretwire and did a major refret/level/recrown (old fretwire was sprouting out at the end and rehammering didn't help, made no sense regluing)
