Precision craftsmanship and musician-first engineering—from aesthetic inlays to noise-free wiring, pickup swaps, and pro electronics.
We combine artful detailing with technical rigor: custom fretboard and headstock inlays, premium hardware replacements, shielded wiring and grounding, pickup upgrades, and complete electronics overhauls—all done cleanly, reversibly, and documented for your records.
Design and install bespoke inlays in shell, wood, resin, or composite. We match radius, slot depth, and finish for a seamless look.
Swap tuners, bridges, saddles, nuts, knobs, and strap locks with precise fitment and torque specs—no stress, no guesswork.
Metal-braid shielded harnesses, star-ground topology, and cavity shielding for hum reduction without killing your tone.
P-90, single-coil, humbucker, mini-hum—voicing to match your style with height, tilt, and pole-piece optimization.
CTS/Bourns pots, Switchcraft jacks, quality caps, treble bleed networks, coil-split/series options, and clean control layouts.
Every upgrade is photographed and logged with wiring diagrams, component specs, and reversible paths when possible.
We use a central ground node to minimize ground loops. Mechanical ground bonds are tested for continuity and strain relief is applied at stress points. We cover the braiding with insulation for additional protection.
We cut clean pockets, bond with appropriate adhesives, level to radius, and polish to match surrounding finish—no witness lines, no high spots.
We define goals, tone, aesthetics, and constraints. Diagrams and mockups provided for clarity.
Tape-offs, guards, and fixtures protect the finish and ensure accurate drilling/cutting.
Hardware seated to spec, wiring soldered cleanly, pickups mounted and aligned.
Continuity, polarity, phase, hum tests, and play checks for feel and response.
Photos, wiring map, component list, and care notes included in your final packet.

From stock spaghetti to tidy, braided harness with star ground and cavity shielding.
Upgraded bridge and tuners, precise alignment, improved sustainability and feel.
Design to finished piece—flush, leveled, polished, and finish-blended.
In most cases, yes. We design wiring and hardware changes with reversible paths. Permanent ops (e.g., routs for larger pickups) are discussed and approved prior to work.
We can source premium parts or install the components you provide, after verifying compatibility and tolerances.
Braided shielded cable, star-ground topology, cavity shielding, correct polarity/phase, and clean soldering practices.
Most swaps can be completed in a day or two. Custom inlay and complex electronics vary by scope. We’ll confirm timelines during consult.
