Before and after of removing some frets for a customers new bass neck. Converting this one to a fretless, which I’m always a fan of! Now to fill the slots, get some tuning machines and full setup!

Old video of a ukulele I fixed up for a family friend. Used a cup of water to hold the phone up to record, and knocked it over when trying to stop the recording :P

Today we’ll be working on this Aria non-reverse firebird. New tuning machines, new electronics, sanding down the neck, and possibly a refret. Lots to do! Anyone looking for restocks on the kits on reverb and eBay, I should be able to restock those by the end of the week, so keep an eye out for that!

Working on rewiring this Brad Gillis copy today for a local customer today. It’ll end up getting new pickups, tuning machines, sanding the high gloss down on the back of the neck and leveling the frets before it’s all said and done.
