  • Revisiting my Washburn Solar "Vinter" USA Custom Shop. The first manufactured guitar based on my designs. I set it up, change the strings, also shim one of the nut slots in it.

    It’s not too often you hear musicians talk so highly of their previous relationships with other brands/endorsements. It’s rare to hear them talk about it period, other than maybe a few words. It’s easy to tell that you’re incredibly grateful for Washburn and everything they did. Your signature is actually what put Washburn on my radar, and I’m happy to see Solar Guitars emerge from that. Can’t wait for my first Solar to come in!

    @theshotgunscientists Před 4 lety

    If you wanna fix that nut slot, use baking soda and super glue. It basically makes a materiel as hard as plastic. Tape off around the nut first, only expose the actual slot because it needs to be liquid super glue. Then just file it down to the correct height.
