You guys really seem like a great shop that does good work with honesty and integrity. I wish you were in my hometown. But we have some great people here too.
Great work ethic 🤘🏼 When I’m done being a broke ass biatch I’m definitely ordering an axe from you guys. Love the guitar show vids - picked up my main axe (‘73 sunburst strat w/rosewood) for $800 at a guitar show in Buffalo NY back in ‘98. Owned it for half its life now & put almost all the wear on it. Best deal I ever got…
I use an ultrasonic bath thingy to clean all the metal parts and even plastics - it works great, it's quicker and they're pretty cheap to buy. Try it - should save you loads of time and honestly the results are excellent.
Did you ever post a video of your new studio/ shop If you have I can’t seem to find it Link me Alex By the way, seeing those Space Echos brought back good memories Ex roadie/ Soundman from Fort Worth Texas The 1970’s A time when the entire rock world at one time or another flowed through Dallas Glorious days indeed
I live in Northeast Ohio, just above Akron, the city name-checked in the last verse of this song- "The farms of Ohio Had been replaced by shopping malls And Muzak filled the air From Seneca to Cuyahoga Falls Ay-Oh-way to go Ohio" A guy who was a dead ringer for Alex just walked past my house. Is there a guitar show in my area I don't know about??
I'm a Hobby guitar player and I dream about having a guitar shop but I don't know if I can handle the people or not I probably throw somebody out of my shop every day
Man, how can anyone let a guitar get that dirty and it looks like it was played a lot....can you imagine playing something so gross and filthy...good job cleaning up although I would have scrubbed both fingerboards to get rid of that built up gunk...a toothbrush works great for that! Then some fretboard conditioning. I would also have put some Montyspresso on the bass fb to darken it but thats me,,,Good job though, you cleaned them up well,,,now I would actually touch them,,lol
Mistake useing those blue paper towels ( paper causes scratches)😮, use soft cotton wash clothes. Also a dremel tool cloth polishing wheel at high speed along with your fret cover is the ultimate polish!, only a few passes does it.😊 Also screw the viniger!, soke in WD-40. And 000steal wool or scotsbright pad.
The blue towels are pretty soft and have gotten good results so far. Will say steel wool can work great, but Scotch-Brite pads tend to be too abrasive no matter what the package says. Really want to get an ultrasonic cleaner for future rust and corrosion removal though.

Exactly 🙏
Uhh not a Blues Driver

Patina adds a bit of character. Every piece tells a story.. I dig that Jazz!

Thanks!
That's awesome to hear. Always cool to have a guitar for awhile that's been through things with you. Even better when it's a good deal too 🙌
This was a fun one!!
I really loved your cleaning and resurrecting the strat, a very thorough job. It would be great to see more videos like this :)
Nice addition of the studio setup to make the vid demos sound good!
When Dallas Rocked
Enjoy

Thank you!

Thanks! Definitely looking into that
I think a string through the body base would just be badass just like a telecaster
I learned a lot watching this cheers and yes please show us all your unlisted stock 👌
Thanks for watching and glad you learned some things!

I think I've played a show on tour in Akron before with Secret Keeper, but we're currently in FL so wasn't Alex! -Thomas

Having an in person store certainly has its challenges! We aren’t open to the public, so we don’t interface with others in person on a daily basis

Probably some of the dirtiest guitars we've encountered haha. Hopefully they go onto a new home that treats them better
