Fret repair
White 2016 Mitchell MD200 fret rescue
This came in from PV Music House as a buzzing low E. Someone had tried to level the frets with the wrong tools, flattening the bass side of the fretboard and the rest of the frets. The job was saved from a complete re-fret with two files, six sandpaper grits, and a final leather polish.
Electronics and wiring
DIY Explorer Gibson 498T pickup wiring
Carlos brought in a DIY Explorer he built in woodworking class, along with Gibson 498T pickups and a pre-soldered switch and pot kit. The pickups were installed, the wiring was shielded and tucked cleanly, and a clear wiring diagram was created for future service work.
