Hey gang :metal:
I recently added this to my site, and owners of these cool instruments will hopefully want to include theirs. Think of it the fan group :D
I'm a pretty busy guy, but I will try to make updates of new submissions usually on Sundays. Cheers!
IBANEZ M8M / M80M REGISTRY |...
Hey all, been a while :)
Aside from my own repair stuff, I also work as QC/tech for a major Canadian distributor of a well known Asian guitar brand, and recently I've been discussing with the one of the international brass about the possibility of releasing a commercially made, baritone 8...
During my latest visit to Meshuggah's studio, we decided to make a comparison vid showing the basic tonal differences between their trusty workhorse LACS RG8, the M8M signature, and the prototype of the upcoming new M80M signature model. The results are surprisingly similar, which demonstrates...
Hey all :)
Since I occasionally write repair articles and now delving into doing some vids, I thought I'd just make this one thread that I can use for posting updates to on a continual basis, rather than keep making separate ones.
Here's two new articles:
A Tip For Fixing Binding Chips...
Brief & Accurate Description of gear/guitar: These are 2 of a limited 21 pc. custom run from ABM in Germany, spearheaded by Meshuggah's Jens Kidman and co-designed by myself and few others. These are hand-milled of the highest quality solid Bell Brass, and feature 16" radius, wide-body for extra...
It just plays like butter and sounds thunderous! This is a significant instrument in Ibanez history, as it's the second 8 string ever made by Ibanez (the first being the 25.5" Jem-ish proto for Vai in the late 90's), the very first neck-through, 29.4 scale, and the first of 2 proto's for...
Hey all!
The Meshuggah Guitar Archive is part of the AVH Guitar Repair website and is there for all guitar geeks and fans of the band who are interested in seeing their guitars in more detail. The page will be ongoing and updated when new info is incoming.
Currently the Basses, 6 String...
The first of two pages are up with some of random notes on the maintenance work of Meshuggah's guitars. This will be followed soon by The Meshuggah Guitar Archive, which will feature most of their guitars with pics and some vital specs.
Random Meshuggah Repair Notes… | AVH Guitar Repair...
Brief & Accurate Description of gear/guitar: Have a dead mint pair of BK's with black covers and gold screws. The bridge is an alnico Nailbomb, the neck is a Cold Sweat - both pickups are standard spacing, short leg, and are 4 conductor. This pair have only about 4 hours play time on them, so...
Hey gang
Just thought some of you (not necessarily fellow techs/luthiers) might be curious about how I do fret dressing, as I get a this question asked a lot...
So what’s in a ‘Fret Dress’ ? | AVH Guitar Repair
I thought I'd post this here, as this is likely where I'll be selling these off in about 8-10 weeks or so....
Spearheaded by Jens Kidman, including myself and a handful of others, are getting a batch of custom-made 8 string Tune-o-matic bridges made by ABM in Germany. These will be milled...

Went to go edit something on my last (or any older) thread, and the 'Edit' button has disappeared, despite it saying "You may edit posts" at the bottom of the page...is there an explanation for this? :scratch:
edit: yet I just seen, and used here right now...wtf? Very confused...
Took a few pics while restringing and assisting Micha for the night a little while back.
For those who are still squabbling about what strings and gauges, as I was saying before, they haven't been with DR for quite a while now, and are fully endorsed by Dunlop for strings and picks...here's...
I was just going to post it all up here, some of you will get a chuckle from it, but SS.org is limiting each post to 20 images, while mine has 76(!). I'm too tired to chop it all up into 4 parts after writing all that out....here's a link to where I posted it elsewhere:
Dissecting & Repairing...
Hey my new Norge neighbors :wavey:
You could be hugely helpful to me if you would be kind enough to let me know what kind of prices you're paying (incl. Vat in NKR) for most of the average, common repairs from the shops around.
Typical examples would be:
- Setup, Hardtail
- Setup, Floating...
After I move to Oslo later this year and set up my lhome repair shop, I'll be also trying to do some custom 7 & 8 string pickups (as well as offering rewinding services), and thought it would be pretty interesting to try making a P90-style soapbar 8 string single coil pickup, as I've always been...
