WHAT WE DO: Customize, hotrod, and repair electric guitars, acoustic guitars, and electric basses, using the finest after-market components.
HOW WE DO IT: Working with you, we'll determine how to achieve the tone and feel you want. This can include choosing just the right pickup for you, as well as selecting capacitors, pots, wire, jacks, switches, preamps ... everything you can't see.
We can wire harnesses, come up with a circuit that is most effective for how you play, and change controls. We have tons of knobs, tuning keys, bridges, pickguards, etc., and we'll happily special-order parts.
