​Let's talk about custom wiring!: If you'd like something non-traditional (not a Strat, Tele, Les Paul, etc.), check with me first. If it's pretty straightforward, I'll take it on. If it's complex and there's not a wiring diagram available, I won't take the job. I don't install super switches, freeway switches, or anything like that. Simple and traditional are my favorite things when it comes to guitar electronics.

​Broken Headstock
I don't have a standard rate, as this is never a standard job.

Neck reset (NOT CURRENTLY TAKING THESE. TOO MANY IN THE QUEUE!)
$500 Standard Dovetail
Notes: Re-fret is frequently also necessary.
Non-standard neck joints will incur higher labor costs.
​Bolt-on necks will incur less labor than normal.
Necks installed before the finish process may require extra work (higher final bill).
Neck resets do not include any finish touch up work. Finish is contracted out and billed upon completion.

He's the best in the area, no question about it!
