You can buy all the fancy tools, but if you don’t have eagle eyes you’re going to have a tough time doing good work as a guitar tech. Benjamin was making a nut for this Epiphone Explorer, when he noticed something was off: the nut slot was cut in the wrong place! Even though this was to be for slide playing only and the nut placement wouldn’t matter, we can’t just let a guitar go out of here that won’t play in tune! Benjamin programmed our PLEK machine to accurately cut the slot properly - you can see from the exposed maple how far off it was: 1.5mm! (That’s a lot.)

We catch small little discrepancies in guitars all the time, and we’re constantly fixing things that you might not even notice.

Every acoustic guitar will need a neck reset at some point. Over the decades the guitar compresses and folds in on itself, and the action gets higher and higher. We do our neck resets differently than most shops: we set the angle under string tension, which gives us a more accurate result, as it takes the compression of the guitar into account. It requires a lot more work to do it like this, but you only need to do this kind of job once every 40 years, it’s gotta be done right!

Martin Guitars have an epidemic problem: the binding shrinks and pops off the guitar! Our buddy David Shaw of The Revivalists was having this problem, and we couldn’t just have him go play Red Rocks with his binding flapping in the wind! We peeled the binding back, replied it, and then created a spacer to replaced the missing section that was lost to shrinkage.
