the refret inspector

Refret using Jescar wire to this vintage SG;

1964 SG

3 SG’s through the workshop this month, two with damage to the area around the controls.

This nice 1964 SG had a previous repair where a large piece of mahogany had been replaced. Unfortunately the piece of wood chosen was not a good match so I replaced it with a more suitable piece. Unfortunately I couldn’t do much about the butt joint where the end grains meet which inevitably reveals the repair.

Here’s the before and after pics;
