ambient Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I've generally shied away from DIY luthiery. I'm quite pleased with this repair job though. 3 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithy Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Hmmmm, maybe a little bit of sculpturing the screw heads with a heavy duty fret file would provide that certain something ?! Edited June 25, 2023 by smithy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassfinger Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I very much dislike those cheap bolts with the code numbers in raised letters on the head. Would have been a first class job with better quality fasteners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's it go? 1) Always use the correct tool for the job. 2) The correct tool for the job is ALWAYS a hammer. 3) ANY tool can be used as a hammer.
