Lacquer curing. I don’t have any guitar neck jokes. I do have a bass neck joke, but it’s too long to use here. #ReWindElectric #Straturday #VintageStratocaster #FenderStratocaster #FenderFriday #Fender #VintageFender #VintageGuitar #VintageGuitarRepair #GuitarRepair #Luthier #boutiquepickups #boutiqueguitars #customguitars #guitarpickup #custompickups #vintageguitars #guitarbuilder #luthiery #pickupwinder #pickups #pickupwinding #pickup #guitarpickups #guitarbuilding (at Mojave Desert) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqbHPKoOdD3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another BSB, using Leo Fender’s hand-written guitar finishing instructions and products made to his specs and part numbers. Just through primer, here. Very flat looking. It will be 3D like you won’t believe, shortly! #ReWindElectric #FenderBass #LeoFender #PrecisionBass #VintageFender GuitarFinishing #GuitarRepair #VintageGuitarRepair #Lutherie #PickupBuilder #CoilWinder #guitarshop #fender #guitarsofinstagram #luthier #guitarbuilder #guitarsetup #guitars #guitarmaker #guitarrepairs #handmade #whatsonyourbench #guitartech #guitarrepair #guitarrepairshop #luthiery https://www.instagram.com/p/CqOZGL6O9U2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Did you know that @bmf_effects pedals come with absolutely excellent buffers? #ReWindElectric #PAFPickups #GibsonPAF #VintagePAFpickup #VintageP-90 #VintageP90 #GibsonP90 #VintageGibson #VintageLesPaul #LesPaulBurst #LesPaul #GibsonLesPaul #GibsonBurst #Gibson #Fender #VintageFender #VintageStratocaster #FenderStratocaster #VintageTelecaster #FenderTelecaster #FenderFriday #VintageGuitar #VintageGuitarRepair #GuitarRepair #Luthier #boutiqueguitars #guitarpickup #vintageguitars #guitarbuilder #luthiery https://www.instagram.com/p/CqL5EDCuO2c/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mmmmm… fresh ground beats and roasted riffs. #ReWindElectric #PAFPickups #GibsonPAF #VintagePAFpickup #VintageGibson #GibsonES335 #ES335 #VintageLesPaul #LesPaulBurst #LesPaul #GibsonLesPaul #GibsonBurst #Gibson #VintageGuitar #VintageGuitarRepair #Luthier #boutiquepickups #guitarpickup #custompickups #vintageguitars #guitarbuilder #luthiery #pickupwinder #pickups #pickupwinding #vintageguitar #pickup #guitarpickups https://www.instagram.com/p/CqL0O1JuRhM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I see why Fender stopped using these massive ferrules. There is NO clearance between them. I can’t believe I didn’t butcher the install and had the guts to even flush mount them. Glad that’s behind me! #ReWindElectric #FenderBass #LeoFender #PrecisionBass #VintageFender GuitarFinishing #GuitarRepair #VintageGuitarRepair #Lutherie #PickupBuilder #CoilWinder #guitarshop #fender #guitarsofinstagram #luthier #guitarbuilder #guitarsetup #guitars #guitarmaker #guitarrepairs #handmade #whatsonyourbench #guitartech #guitarrepair #guitarrepairshop #luthiery https://www.instagram.com/p/CqFc__IuY6q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Twin Mary Kayes coming along. A few coats of my sun-aged clear nitro for a little warmth. #ReWindElectric #Straturday #VintageStratocaster #FenderStratocaster #FenderFriday #Fender #VintageFender #VintageGuitar #VintageGuitarRepair #GuitarRepair #Luthier #boutiquepickups #boutiqueguitars #customguitars #guitarpickup #custompickups #vintageguitars #guitarbuilder #luthiery #pickupwinder #pickups #pickupwinding #pickup #guitarpickups #guitarbuilding (at Mojave Desert) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqCxcQounb9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This week on “Things You Don’t Often See At ReWind” a shot of me locating a Floyd on a single pickup rear routed body. #ReWindElectric #VanHalen #EVH #SunsetSound #EddieVanHalen #MarshallAmps #VintagePlexi #VintageMarshall #PAFPickups #GibsonPAF #VintagePAFpickup #VintageGibson #GibsonES335 #ES335 #VintageLesPaul #LesPaulBurst #LesPaul #GibsonLesPaul #GibsonBurst #Gibson #VintageGuitar #Luthier #boutiquepickups #guitarpickup #custompickups #vintageguitars #guitarbuilder #luthiery #pickupwinder #pickupwinding https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp-8uTTue4G/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This tool sat unused, new in the box, for nearly 3/4 of a century! …until I decided that a vintage bass build had to be accurate, even in places that could not be seen, once assembled. Did you think I would use metric bushings on Leo’s greatest invention? #ReWindElectric #FenderBass #LeoFender #PrecisionBass #VintageFender GuitarFinishing #GuitarRepair #VintageGuitarRepair #Lutherie #PickupBuilder #CoilWinder #guitarshop #fender #guitarsofinstagram #luthier #guitarbuilder #guitarsetup #guitars #guitarmaker #guitarrepairs #handmade #whatsonyourbench #guitartech #electricguitar #guitarrepair #guitarrepairshop #luthiery (at Mojave Desert) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp40jwjuQog/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If you're willing to pay for the labor, I love taking projects to this level of detail! That switch took about 2 or 3 hours, broken up into a few sessions. Just look at it though! #ReWindElectric #VanHalen #EVH #SunsetSound #EddieVanHalen #MarshallAmps #VintagePlexi #VintageMarshall #PAFPickups #GibsonPAF #VintagePAFpickup #VintageGibson #VintageGuitar #VintageGuitarRepair #Luthier #boutiquepickups #guitarpickup #custompickups #vintageguitars #guitarbuilder #luthiery #pickupwinder #pickups #pickupwinding #vintageguitar #pickup #guitarpickups https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp02UWmukkC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mary Kayes! No clear yet, so they look a bit chalky. Still, absolutely beautiful already! #ReWindElectric #FenderBass #LeoFender #PrecisionBass #VintageFender GuitarFinishing #GuitarRepair #VintageGuitarRepair #Lutherie #PickupBuilder #CoilWinder #guitarshop #fender #guitarsofinstagram #luthier #guitarbuilder #guitarmaker #guitarrepairs #whatsonyourbench #guitartech #electricguitar #guitarrepair #guitarrepairshop #luthiery #guitar #guitardaily #guitarservice https://www.instagram.com/p/CpryPKmuwBG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
