Hard Rock Repairs

Hard Rock GuitarMy friend, Gavin, snapped this photos in the early morning hours downtown the other day. We both wondered what repairs the guitar on top of the Houston Hard Rock Cafe could need.

String change?

Fret job?

New pickups?

Bridge adjustment?

Repair to the wiring?

Install a Floyd Rose?

We may never know, but one this is certain: this job likely required the biggest pair of needle nose pliers in the history of man kind.

A few days ago, I went a’huntin’ for what I believe to be the smallest allen wrench known to humans that is supposed to help me adjust the bridge on my new Fender jazz bass. This thing is like the width of a human hair and the folks at Fuller Vintage Guitar had to ravage an entire tool box just to find it. I feel like I need to hold it with tweezers.

For this guitar, you need a forklift just to get the allen wrench on the job site.

I’m trying to say it’s massive, people. MASSIVE!

(that’s what she said)
