"Nahanni" in action
My new partscaster sees some action at the Cameron House (408 Queen St. W, Toronto). I run a night there once a month, bring in whatever artists I've been working with, back them up and sing a few of my own tunes. Here's a couple of pic (joining me on backing vocals is my daughter).
I've gotta say, she looks pretty sweet. |

There is a certain satisfaction of building or even modifying an instrument ,and then using it on a gig and having it be and perform like you imagined it before you built it etc.. Ive modded most of my guitars and even built a few from boards and when they turn out like I imagined I go AHHH thats nice!!!

Nice pictures.
Man, I haven't been to the Cameron in a long, long time. Early 80's... the Rent Boys were playing... I lost my wallet and Howard Zephyr bought me a beer during their break. Good times.

still not 100% happy with the performance - may swap pups for higher output, rout for a neck HB etc.... action is too high before buzzing etc... may spring for a Plek job.
Still, it looks great. And the low-output neck pup is quite nice for strummin' behind singers etc. |

Tristan,
If you're getting a fret buzz, why not level those frets instead of springing for a Plek job? Every neck, including a brand new, right out of the factory one, should have the frets levelled. That's something that none of the manufacturers are doing any more, due to cutting their cost of manufacture. It isn't hard to do but does require some special tools (available through a number of places, like Stew Mac). If you spring for the tools and do it yourself, you will be able to do this to all of your guitars. If you find a guitar tech to do it for you, you'll have the sweetest playing neck you've ever had. It makes a huge difference in your overall set-up, especially in setting the height of your action. |

He had to redo the neck joint too. And he had some words to say about the guy who did the work originally... oh yes he did. Last edited by tristanavakian; December 28th, 2008 at 01:16 PM. |

I was visiting NY anyway for Xmas, and since I was at my wit's end trying to get this thing playing right, I decided to bring it with me and splash out for the Plek job. 200 beans US, plus 100 for the neck reset and tax, and it was worth every penny. Paul turned it around in one day (Xmas eve!) so I wouldn't have to drop more bucks on shipping to get it back. I only wish I had given it to him in the first place. Live and learn.
