    Default Lemme fix yo' stuffs

    Screw the yairi, things have come into perspective. I'd just like to do some fun work. Refrets, finish touchups, etc. I'm willing to cut some serious deals, just to have fun at night doing the stuff. Let me know what you've got, and I'll post a general price list here in this thread.

    Hot Rodded Setup (level and recrown, new nut, complete overhaul on it all) - 135 <b>slashed to 65</b>

    New bone nut and setup - 75 SLASHED TO 30

    Bone nut, saddle, and setup - 90 SLASHED TO 45

    Level and crown - 100 SLASHED TO 45

    Refret - 250 SLASHED TO 100


    That's just the basics. If you've got something special you're interested in, PM me. I can provide forum references, customer references, pictures of work, etc. No prices include shipping, but we can work something out.

    Please take advantage of these deals, so that I can justify to myself and my wife that there's a reason I need to keep my specialized tools.

    Figured it'd be a good incentive to get some guys in here. I know a lot of folks who've been putting off having work done for the price, and I don't mind doing it for cheap.

    Frank Falbo wouldn't need any help, would he? I hear California's real nice.

    Wow, if you weren´t in the US I´d be sending work over to you at those prices. No joke, it´s almost cheaper than doing it myself.

    Hang in there Beano, and you guys start sending him guitars.

    That's almost giving it away!

    If I didn't do my own work, I'd definitely take advantage.

    Out of curiosity, is it possible to make a new guitar saddle without having the actual guitar?

    I'm getting my washburn 12-string back within the next month or so (whenever I can get down to Miami to retrieve it), and it's dying for a bone nut and saddle. How long are you doing this for?

    Send me the old saddle, and I'll make an exact copy, with a little more height to it, so you can customize it to your liking.

    Hell, make it a sticky. I'll do it for as long as I'm a member.

    to bold just highlight what you want bold and then click the bold button
    Or click first and put text in between the B brackets /B
    I am gonna check shipping on my acoustic. It needs a new setup nut and saddle, since I attempted to make it better to only make it worse.

    I have no problem working with the stuff, but don't have any on hand. I can get whatever you need (you can too) in a week or so. Add cost of materials and 30 dollars for SS.

    its not < its [B and /B] (but with the bracket on the other side as well. But the bold button on the top left of the editing page works also.

    I dont see a flat rate box bigger then 12" by 12", and my guitar wont quite fit in that. I will keep looking though.

    I could've swore I saw one...maybe I'm mistaken. Most pack-n-ship places will pack a guitar very well, and their packing is usually insured for just a few dollars more. It's my preferred method to send a guitar, especially one without a case.

    Well, since you´re sending it off to be fixed anyway, you may as well make it worth it and take a sledgehammer to the neck/ body joint. That will also make it small enough to ship in one of those boxes
