Lorne Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 And about 4 days after giving it to him [URL=http://s169.photobucket.com/user/share6_album/media/IMAG0617_zps17c164bb.jpg.html][IMG]http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u230/share6_album/IMAG0617_zps17c164bb.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Old truss rod removed, new truss rod MADE, new truss rod installed, he is going to leave it a few days to completely harden, then fret it :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle psychosis Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I'm confused. This guy screwed up one job, and so you left another guitar with him for three years whilst he did another? I'm completely baffled to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6v6 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 They guy in question (assuming it's who I think it is..) is well known for very long "waiting lists" for instruments. I guess some folks see that as making the instruments (and repairs?!?!) more exclusive, personally I see it as a sign of an ineffectively run business (if someone can't deliver a product in less than a *year* they don't get my money, simples! ) I played one of his basses a while back. Looked nice, but nothing special IMHO. Glad you're making progress with the new luthier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 My local luthier is excellent. Bigger jobs might take a few days but most stuff is done really quickly and something he even fixes on the spot when I see him so he doesn't have instruments cluttering up his workbench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
