Pickup swap from 2013 Gibson to older Epiphone

Pickup swap from 2013 Gibson to older Epiphone & vice versa.

The Epiphone has electronics that we’ve all seen on electrics, 4 pots, standard wiring. The 2013 GIBSON has a circuit board instead, with quick clip circuit connectors.

We tried to convert the wires first…no dice, so we decided it would be easiest to just remove the whole circuit board harness before re-wiring the whole guitar with 500k Gibson vol pots and 300k tone pots, jack & switches. Changed his capacitors too!

Customer was stoked with the sound and service!

Smallest and lightest tuners in the world!

Gotoh Stealth model machine heads are the smallest and lightest tuners in the world. The housings are approximately 1/10th the size of traditional tuners allowing more freedom in the size and layout of the headstock design. Advanced materials are used throughout including lightweight aluminium, strong and durable stainless steel and brass for smoothness of adjustment. The combination of a tiny housing and technologically advanced materials leads to a massive reduction in weight of 50-70% allowing for a lighter and more balanced instrument. GET THEM AT BASONE!

Korina wood guitar

korina body rosewood top custom guitar, initial stages

Working on lots of custom orders – this one has a korina wood body and rosewood top.

From the GuitarPlayer website:  Best known as the tonewood of Gibson’s radical Modernistic Series of the late 1950s—the flashy Flying V and Explorer—as well as more recent guitars that follow these templates, Korina is a warm, resonant, and balanced performer. It also yields great clarity, definition, and sustain. The species is known generically as limba—an African wood related to mahogany, but imported under the trade name Korina. It’s a fairly light hardwood with a fine grain that’s usually enhanced in the finishing process to appear as an attractive array of long, thin streaks. White limba—as used by Gibson and Hamer—has a light appearance in its natural state, and black limba has a more pronounced grain.

Also working on a Korina tele with a nice rosewood f.b. bound in Korina!!
