A 1970’s Guild T50 just came into the shop on consignment, the original bridge comes with it too! I just gave it a once over, and some new strings, and it’s good to go. Super tidy condition, so clean in fact that I had to check the date again…and again! #tymguitars #guild #guitar #guitartech #vintageguitar #vintage #guitars #guitarshop #repairshop #fortitudevalley #brisbane #beexcellenttoeachother (at Tym Guitars)

This late 70’s/early 80’s Maton JB6 came in for some tlc recently, and heck it’s been a blast having it here. You don’t see too many of these getting around with supposedly only 315 having been made between 1977-84, so I’m really glad to have had some time with it. #tymguitars #guitartech #maton #matonguitars #australianmade #guitar #guitarrepair #australiansassafras #repairshop #guitarshop #fortitudevalley #thevalley #winnlane #brisbane #beexcellenttoeachother (at Tym Guitars)

Mastery bridge install (and a little setup) complete on this MIM Jazzmaster for my bud and all ‘round legend @brendanoctattoo. Not a very tricky install but I did need to dowel the mounting holes and redrill for new post mounts. This guitar is playing so well, and I’ll admit I’m a little late to the @masterybridge world, but I gotta say, I’m a convert, particularly if real heavy playing is your thing. Completely unrelated - I’m taking a few days/maybe a week off, as of tomorrow (Wednesday) but I’ll be floating around the shop working on some of my own guitars so feel free to drop in ✌️#tymguitars #fender #jazzmaster #masterybridge #guitartech #guitarrepair #guitarshop #fortitudevalley #brisbane #guitar #offsetguitars #customguitars #beexcellenttoeachother (at Tym Guitars)

Just finishing up a bit of a service on this lovely Cole Clark Guardian, owned by @tonyguitarnerd. The aesthetics on this thing are awesome, sadly the shop lighting makes it a little hard to capture the burst properly, but it’s got a lovely blend, and those TV Jones SuperTron pickups sound as rad as they look. #tymguitars #coleclarkguitars #australianmade #strat #guitartech #repairshop #guitarshop #brisbane #guitar #fortitudevalley #tvjones #beexcellenttoeachother (at Tym Guitars)

So damn new it was scary to work on! 2017 U.S.A Fender Stratocaster, straight from the showroom to the workbench for a little tweaking. I gotta say, these are pretty swell playing guitars, and the factory pickups are in the same boat. Swell. #tymguitars #fender #stratocaster #guitartech #repairshop #guitarshop #brisbane #fortitudevalley #guitar #strat #beexcellenttoeachother (at Tym Guitars)

1 of 2 Univox Hi-Flyer bass guitars I’ve had in the shop this week. This one no longer has the original pickups, and with the replacements being a mini humbucker size (and the original cavity being humungo) I had to make some pickup surrounds. A unique challenge with no template and only feint outlines from the original rings to go by. These play awesomely by the way, so light but with barely any neck dive! #tymguitars #guitartech #guitarrepair #univox #bass #madeinjapan #vintageguitar #offsetguitars #repairshop #guitarshop #thevalley #brisbane #guitar #beexcellenttoeachother (at Tym Guitars)

Finally completed the rebuild (with a couple of minor liberties taken) of this late 60’s Tokai Hummingbird, and oh dang it sounds aaaaaamazing. This job took on saga status with more than a few hurdles along the way, I’ll spare most of the details but let’s just say - ALWAYS make sure the pickups that are provided with a guitar in many parts that hasn’t been put together in years, actually fit under the strings before getting them rewound…thankfully the owner had just snagged some Teisco gold foils, so we took advantage of that and loaded them in (on?). The walls of the route for the trem was totally caved and falling apart to, so a bit of a structural rebuild was needed there. Wait sorry I’m going into more detail then expected, I’ll save it for another post. For now, I’m pumped with how this turned out, and to the owner - thank you for being so so patient on this one! #tymguitars #guitartech #guitarrepair #vintageguitar #tokai #hummingbird #madeinjapan #offsetguitars #goldfoil #supportindependent #guitarshop #repairshop #thevalley #guitar #brisbane #beexcellenttoeachother (at Tym Guitars)

A couple of new nuts done this week. Excellent fun times, as I do actually love making these things, and getting them spot on. #tymguitars #guitarepair #guitartech #fender #gretsch #jaguar #supportindependent #repairshop #guitarshop #thevalley #brisbane #beexcellenttoeachother (at Tym Guitars)

I pity the fool (I’m sorry, I HAD to) who walks past this guitar and doesn’t try it out. This “Vintage” brand The Fool SG, was dropped into the shop on consignment recently and after a little setup, it’s awesome. Previously owned (I’m not kidding) by Frank Stallone, and comes with a photo of him playing it on stage. Seriously though, it’s a super light, and super sounding guitar, swing on by @tymguitars to check it out ✌️#tymguitars #thefool #sg #guitartech #guitarepair #supportindependent #guitarshop #repairshop #guitar #fortitudevalley #thevalley #brisbane #beexcellenttoeachother (at Tym Guitars)
