With my luck I'll need #10 screws and they'll be #8s, and one less than I need. Thanx. Buy a Fender Strat or Tele. They are held together with Ace Hardware screws!
LOL Just got my ONG out of repair yesterday after putting off repair for 4 months. Aahhhh...so nice to get an old friend like that back in your hands. |

Congrats on getting a friend back.
My Leslie speaker has been DOA for about 6 months, and thanks to Uncle Sam's $1200, I can now get it fixed unless the cost is just too much.
This particular model is not very popular, but they still go for $1000+, and of course are no longer made. It can be used with organ, or with any instrument that can be plugged in to a normal guitar amp.

This is the spit image of mine. Why did it need repair? In all the years of all the guitars I've owned I've never had to take one to someone for repair. I do all my own mods, retrofits, setup, electronics and fretwork. Only things I haven't done are broken headstocks and wood finish, although I have tung oiled raw necks before, just not poly or nitro. Did you break something? |

This is the spit image of mine. Pretty cool looking guitar.
Looks like a stylized crawfish on the tailpiece. Probably sounds like Sonny Landreth when you play it.

Only things I haven't done are broken headstocks and wood finish, although I have tung oiled raw necks before, just not poly or nitro. Did you break something? Not quite sure. I was changing strings and something happened to the neck (I am guessing) that altered the height of the strings at the two pickups. I am a complete novice at guitar maintenance, and so took it to a pro. I joked with the repairman that henceforth I am bringing the guitar in to change strings...sadly, it wasn't ALL a joke... |

That IS weird. Only thing I'm coming up with is a broken truss rod in the neck.
Don't ever take all the strings off at once. change 'em one at a time. Some bridges are held in place by the pressure of the strings.
Did he say what the problem was, or just hand you a bill with no explanation? |

Took a closer look at the pics... It was probably simply your Tune-O-Matic bridge not properly seated on the posts, hence my comment about changing strings one at a time. It's held down by the strings. Or you might've spun the wheels without knowing, thus changing the action.

Like pfRredd --- umm I mean Bleu ---- said, you could have accidentally altered the bridge height as well. I change my strings 3 at a time so the bridge is always anchored to the guitar body. The neck should not be perfectly straight (flat), either. It should have a slight bow to it, and I'm not about to say how much cause I don't really know.
There are all kinds of videos on Youtube about restringing your guitar, adjusting the trussrod, and all kinds of shit. The main thing to remember about the trussrod is that a small adjustment can make a BIG change. Don't overdo it.
Pickup height is important. Too close to the strings, and a strong pickup's magnetic field can actually dampen the strings' vibration and sustain. Too far away and the signal can be weak.
Ask the guitar tech what was wrong. You need to know what you spent your hard earned money on.

With the back surgery issues, I was in a bit of a hurry and didn't think to ask, but I'll try to chase it down when I can. |

take care and good luck w the rehab. good to know you have some building supplies now so close at hand in case of an emergency.  With my luck I'll need #10 screws and they'll be #8s, and one less than I need. Thanx. But they're Titanium! If it says you need 3 you only need 2 |
