Moja pracownia na dobre zadomowiła się już w Polsce. Choć zmieniły się współrzędne geograficzne po przeprowadzce z Norwegii, to wasze zaufanie pozostało. Dzięki Wam za to ;)

Dziś historia konkretnego Fendera Stratocastera USA.

Pierwszy raz instrument ten trafił do mnie 7 lat temu. Wtedy zainstalowałem w nim autorski minihumbucker pod mostem. Gitara zyskała pazur, a właściciel brzmienie, którego szukał.

Po latach znów odwiedziła mój warsztat, ale tym razem już w Polsce na totalną metamorfozę. Czas i intensywne granie odcisnęły swoje piętno, więc nie było miejsca na półśrodki.
Gryf musiał przejść korektę radiusa, bo czas i naprężenia wprowadziły delikatne odkształcenia.
Progi.. postawiliśmy na pancerny standard - stal nierdzewna Jescar 55090. Przy okazji wykonałem również customowe markery oraz nowe siodełko z kości, poprawiłem mocowanie gryfu z korpusem, aby transfer drgań był jeszcze lepszy.

Ten minihumbucker z 2019 roku był tak mocny, że nieco przykrywał fabryczne single. Właściciel zdecydował się więc na pełną spójność czyli parę moich autorskich singli VintageSpark. Teraz współpracują z mostem w idealnym balansie ;)

Łapcie kilka zdjęć, a dla dociekliwych dorzucam też pomiary przetworników, żebyście mogli zobaczyć, co tam siedzi pod maską.

My workshop is now fully settled in Poland. Even though the coordinates have changed after the move from Norway, your trust remains the same. Thank you for that ;)

Today, a story about a USA Fender Strat.

This Strat first hit my bench 7 years ago. Back then, I installed one of my custom mini-humbucker at the bridge. The guitar gained some serious bite, and the owner found the exact tone he was looking for.

Years later, it jumped back on my bench but this time in Poland for a major overhaul. Time and heavy playing had left their mark, so there was no room for compromises. The neck needed a radius correction because of some slight warping. Frets... we went with the bulletproof standard Jescar 55090 stainless steel. While I was at it, I also made custom inlays, a new bone nut, and improved the neck-to-body joint for better resonance.

That 2019 mini-humbucker was so powerful it was overshadowing the factory single coils. So, the owner chose complete consistency and picked a pair of my custom VintageSpark singles. Now they are perfectly balanced with the bridge pickup ;)

Here are some photos, and for those curious, I’m adding the measurements so you can see what’s under the hood.

1978 Fender P-bass with ash body and sunburst is not common. Most sunburst P-basses bodies were alder, ash bodies were mostly used for solid colours and clear finishes. This beauty jumped on my bench for a body refinish. The original old paint was very soft, sticky, almost like a rubber unfortunately. This was not the first Fender on my bench with this varnish defect, and probably not the last one. In this case basecoat is poli and over it we have a thin layer burst and clear. I decided to wipe off burst and clearcoat using acetone and a cloth which worked great. From this step it was easy, a little sanding, spraying sunburst and clearcoat, buffing and finall assembling. How it turned out? Lets check it out :)
