Fender MIM Jazzmaster tinkering

* Fender MIM Jazzmaster tweaking.

Came in with dead notes all over the place, all upper bends choked hard or died instantly (courtesy of the previous "tech"). I posted a video as well. Wasn't even in the ballpark with the intonation. You can't have this low action on a 7.5" radius :) .
I did the setup, corrected some fretwires and polished them. Also cleaned the pots as the volume one was quite scratchy.
Now it plays great and the owner is happy!













Reghin 1981 4/4 Violin

*  Finished cleaning and adjusting this old 1981 Reghin violin. Sanded and relacquered the bridge and also adjusted the nut slots and smoothened the top as it was quite scratched. Also treated the fretboard with some black acrylic paint (sides also). Installed some fine tuners it had in the case for some time
