A. Custom Made Guitars

I love the fact that guitars grow on trees! A great guitar starts with a great piece of timber.This custom Tolvanen started life from a piece of Mahogany and progressed through numerous complex stages until it became a world class instrument. These pics will give you a broad overview of the process. Please note that a couple of these photos were taken from different projects so you may notice that I am using the oscillating spindle sander on a two pickup model etc. The point here is to give you an idea of the process with custom made guitars.

B. Repairs and guitar setups

Does your guitar have a problem with fret buzz? How about faulty pickups, crackling pots etc?

Does your guitar sound out of tune the further up the neck you go?

Perhaps you have bought a kit or bits and pieces on the web but nothing seems to fit or it sounds lousy.

Maybe you want to put humbuckers onto your Strat but the routing is for single coils.
