Just finished setting up this First Act electric guitar for a customer. These budget beginner guitars come out of a factory in Boston Massachuset USA and are pretty much unplayable off the cuff. So after changing out the pick up for an EMG and the tuners for Guyker locking tuners, a neck relief set and string action and intonation set , it plays and sounds great .spot on for a professional musician client who requires only the best reliability and function in his guitars .

A customer bought me this guitar to repair. He found it in a Charity Shop whilst on holiday for £10.00, it is s Encore ENC36N. There were holes in the side and the body was come detached from the sides, due to the braces being broken.
What I did was took the back off and repaired the braces on both the top and the back, reinforced the damaged hole and made a feature out of it

It was both a challenge and a pleasure to repair Karl's Simon & Patrick Parlour Guitar. This guitar had endured numerous plane trips to and from Canada where the altitude and humidity changes in the plane caused a lot of the braces to catastrophically fail and the back to split.

I had to completely remove the back of the guitar to carry out the repairs and then reconstruct and refinish the guitar.

I hope Karl is happy with the result and will get many more years playing out of it.
