Flying service

This was sent to me about 3 weeks ago for a re-string & re-set up. It's a BC Rich NJ Series Jr. V, belonging to a friend.

The guitar was basically in need of an upkeep; wipe down, dusting off, tightening of screws, that kinda thing. The FRS seen above was wiped down thoroughly. I also swapped the low E string saddle to the A position. Reason - It's oxidized by the picking hand, so it's moved away from that position. It's the next best thing to a total replacement.

Headstock - thoroughly cleaned, nut was shimmed. The strings were touching the first fret due to wear so it's an easy fix. When I clean / polish the headstock, I make it a point to remove the tuners so that all surface areas could be accessed. This also gives me the opportunity to clean the tuners as well.

Thorough cleaning for the fretboard as well. Accumulated grime / dirt can be removed rather easily using oil-based fluids. Tougher stains require alcohol treatment, I usually use medical swabs available at pharmacies. The side effect of using alcohol is the drying of wood surfaces which can be countered easily with conditioning fluid. Also, grime / dirt at the fret edges were dug out using any metal implements, razor blade / pen knife blade is an easily available example.

All done & good. Guitar is pending collection this coming weekend.
