I imagine that finding exact tuners for that may be difficult, but we can see what we have. The crack, nut and refin is no problem. If you have an example of the color you would like, that is always best, but I think I have an idea of what you are looking for. We would usually call that a “blue burst”, but there are thousands shades of blue. As far as cost, look to spend about $800-900 plus parts and materials (probably around $50 unless we need to replace all the tuners so they match). Let me know if you have other questions.
How much to redo the neck binding on a vintage MIJ LP (Tokai). Found a great guitar, but a lazy refret pressed the frets right into the binding and it looks a mess.
Thanks
Ben,
That is tough to say without seeing the guitar. I imagine we should be able to save the old binding and just refret the guitar properly. If that is so, look to spend about $300-400. If the binding is too shot, we would need to pull it , replace it, refinish the neck (or touch it up, depending on how clean the binding comes off), and refret it. In that case, look to spend about $675. Those are awfully good guitars, but I am not sure how much they fetch on the guitar market. I would think we should be able to save the old binding.
Good Afternoon,
I recall your company when I worked for a local music store here in Rockford IL. You repaired a Les Paul broken headstock for me, beyond exceptionally. Unfortunately, that same guitar, Gibson Les Paul SE, took another fall, and the headstock has once again broken off.
I would like to inquire how to get the guitar repaired and what I can expect the costs to be? Do I have the option to ship via UPS to your location and have it shipped back? Also, what is a typical time for repair?
Thank you in advance, I hope that we can do business in the near future.
Michael
Michael, You can send the guitar directly to us via UPS. Cost varies on the severity of the break and if you wnat the damage cosmetically repaired. Look to spend between $150 and $650. If you send me some photos, I may be able to give you a better idea. Any cosmetic work takes a while as the guitar is finished with a nitrocellulose lacquer. Look for it to take around 6-8 weeks.
