Hello, Help needed please! 🙏 It’s a Washburn g10v that I am trying to source parts for. The owner wants to do a full restore but we can’t move forward with the job as the trem is missing the micro tuner thumb nuts. The trem is a big old rare thing with 2001 on the edge of it. Please see picture for reference. (Taken from reditt, a common problem it looks like) I have one of the thumb nuts here and I think it’s a #no.5 -44 UNF thread. But it’s…

Hi everyone. I have begun to incorporate more rattle can toner work in my touch up and cosmetic repairs. I have been using Mohawk toners so far and I am now trying out a different one of their toner products that is new to me. I use Mohawk Ultra Flo Ultra Bond for my clear coats.

I was able to get this one out using two Foam cutters and a little extra external heating of the heel with a heat gun on the low setting. Drilled at 15th fret as usual and got lucky, the holes intersected and scorched the dowels. I still had to wrestle it for about an hour... Converting to bolt-on is fun because the dowel holes will make aligning things easier. Once the dowels are removed, I'll just use two of the holes to refasten with…

Maybe there’s already a place for this but someone wants an old sentimental guitar modified with a Floyd rose and I haven’t done one of those in forever. Thinking back to when I was younger in the trade and stuff like this came up I would’ve loved to have a place to go where helpful repair folks hangout who might help me to avoid underbidding the hell out of a job. I used to bid everything low because I was thinking about the client and…
