When a customer wants a very specific string spacing nut and needs a proper thickness. Let's make one! I do have blanks but this was more creative. #guitarshop #guitarfix #guitarrestoration #guitarworkshop #halifaxguitarrepair #halifaxguitar #Halifax #luthierlife #luthier

Comments Please! This Fender Telecaster Custom has a weird issue with the pickguard. Rubbing it causes static sound from the amp. However if I put non conducting materials like tape or a sticker, the static sound goes away. Checked all ground and even at the end of the video, I take off the pick guard, pots and switch. Let me know your thoughts. #guitarshop #guitarfunny #guitarfail #guitarmystery #guitarsetup #Fender #fendertelecaster #fendertele #fendertelecastercustom #tele #telecaster #telecastercustom #halifaxguitar #Halifax #luthier #luthierlife

Luna Headstock reattached. Most places would not even consider this repair. But to hear that the owner was full of tears of joy, it makes these project so much more fulfilling. Never think something can't be fixed. Even with a tight budget I can bring back the instrument to playing again. As you may notice, there was an attempt by someone else repaing this. So the added challenge was first removing the last repair mess and re-repair it. #guitarshop #guitarcrackrepair #headstockrepair #guitarrestoration #guitarrepair #brokenguitar #brokenheadstock #acousticrepair #guitarsetups #luthier #luthierlife #Halifax #halifaxguitarrepair #lunaguitars

Fixing cracks on the top body of an acoustic with cleats. Earth magnets does the job nicely. This acoustic required three. #acousticrepair #acousticsetup #guitarshop #guitarcrackrepair #guitarrepair #acousticwork #acousticcrack #halifaxguitarrepair #halifaxguitar #Halifax #luthier #luthierlife

When a guitar humidifier goes wrong. This guitar had a misfortunate event where it was set up in its case for a number of months with what must of been a fully filled humidifier. The humidifier fell to the corner of the inside of the guitar. And eventually damaged the side of the body. Also there would be 3 cracks on the top of the body and the bridge lifted. In which I repaired. Post coming soon. Be careful with guitar humidifiers. #guitarfail #guitarfails #guitarwork #guitarrepair #guitarworkshop #halifaxguitarrepair #halifaxguitar #Halifax #luthier #luthierlife
