Complete setups including intonation, restrings and truss rod adjustments, Fret leveling, re-crowning and polishing. Nuts and saddles out of graphite, bone, tusk, reproduction plastics and brass!!! Modifications for guitars and basses like bridges, tuning machine heads, and Inlays. Tremolo addition, repair and mods for less string breakage and better intonation!

res, treble bleeds, different switching, and recaps. Probably my favourite types of mods because I use the absolute TOP quality materials and advanced wiring techniques.

A real sweet player! This is my take on a 50's style Valco-esque lapsteel guitar. Made from butcher-blocked, quarter sawn poplar, this bad boy features vintage Kluson tuners and a 70's fender humbucker. Like the k***s? They're actually NOS k***s once owned by Pete Traynor of Traynor amplifiers. I guess he never got around to putting them on an amp!
Also pictured is a custom brass tone bar. HEAVY.

Bullhorn Cook's bass after black pore filling and sanding all of it off leaving just the grain black.

Colin Bullhorn Cook's bass. Now pore filled. It won't actually be this colour. Just the grain.

This lapsteel guitar was produced by a notable luthier in the states and was RIPE with problems. Besides costing South of $1800 (current owner was smart and payed WAY less) it was never properly sanded and wired so wrong I can't begin to explain. Now it sounds like it has $300+ worth of pickups instead of the cheap sound before.
