Private Stock Friday

[Music Go Round Co Springs]

I made a quick swing into the PS area just a few minutes ago to see what the Private Stock guys were up to. Some really amazing instruments under construction.

Rick A. sanding a sweet spalted maple top

Eric G. soldering and assembling

Rich S. with some sweet inlays. Crummy photo, but cool blue and white inlays.

Vampire Rich sanding an outstanding spalt

Rick H. applying maple binding to a headstock

Awesome inlays

That looks super fun!

So what happens if a guitar gets through to nera the end and you find something is wrong? how far back are you willing to go to get it right?
Or like, what happens if a guitar is being painted, and while moving it around something bad happens...earthquake, light fixutre falls on your guitar in process and it chips the wood really badly.

Do you call hte customer and have them choose new wood? Or do you fix it somehow?

I can't answer for the shop, I'll leave that up to Hunter.

I *can* say that when I did the vault tour I saw a Dragon on the shelves that was broken. I mean, the body was made, the dragon was inset, and the body broke. IIRC, Paul said that they started from scratch and made a new one.
A new Dragon.
Ugh.

Yes. If the guitar goes wrong, they will make it right. That might mean going back to the beginning.

I saw that there too...took a picture of it...that damage was awful. I asked Paul what happened to it and he said the CNC machine ate it...I think I still have that picture on my phone...!

I think Cheech & Chong had an answer in a similar case involving a Labrador eating ... er ... something.

There’s the bandsaw of death where they cut the guitar in half, and I think when the roof collapsed a while back a few builds had to start back at the picking wood stage. Whatever the scenario is they will make it right.
