My friend Elmore came and picked up his drums today. Another satisfied client.

I was back at Memorial HS today to deliver the latest 2 guitars I refurbed for them.
On the acoustic, the neck joint had failed, needed to be glued and clamped. The neck was badly worn. Had to sand and stain the fingerboard and polish the frets. Then, Replaced the defective tuning machines, put on new strings, its
playable. Not much adjustment available on this one.
The bass needed a cleaning, setup and new strings. It’s a customized bass, they removed the frets from about the 8th on up, filled the slots making it half fretless. Cool and unique.
Thanks to classmates Andy and Jackie for the donations towards the parts purchases.

Joe Bonamassa

Next 2 guitars delivered back to Memorial HS.
The acoustic 12 string had a broken headstock, much like a Les Paul breaks.
Reset it, glued and clamped, then a bunch of fine sanding and gap filling to get the break smooth again. New strings and done.
The black Strat copy started as 2 black Strat copy’s I combined into 1 complete and playable guitar.

It’s double neck day!!
Pic 1 are my 2,
Pic 2 & 3 are Rick Neilson’s.
