Telecaster Restauration
|
When a customer regrets some times of his youth.
Bringing a 1978 Fender Telecaster back to live is like bringing back, erm, 1978.. Imagine you're ten years old. You buy a Fender Telecaster because your biggest influencer (not on Instagram, dummy, Instagram didn't exist back then; we're talking about a musical influencer, someone who actually changes your life. But wait a second – we have an Instagram account) is Andy Summers. So far, so good. And then you completely fuck up your guitar. Literally. You make space for a Humbucker on the neck position. You nail a London Underground metal plate on the body. You put a Pink Panther sticker on the back of your guitar.. You do everything you shouldn't do to a guitar like this. And then you regret it. Because all you've done is just a big block of shit. So you come to us, and we fix it. And if you still have the original pickups, that's even better. Check out the detailed work:
Dooooooooooooooooooooope! |

Not a dream job, but when you are done, this is pure excitement and guys have to switch their underwear! And grirls... too! |
