^^^ i love DMs but the LTHB is too thin for me. (thats the .10 to .5 blue steel set or whatever right?)

They dont sell single Blue Steels from what ive seen :/

I use .012 .016 .021 .032 .044 .056 or sometimes a .06 on the bottom for even thicker low end. Its a custom set and none of their sets match up very well unless i buy like 2-3 sets to steal individual strings from.

In high school, I made a custom electric guitar that I designed myself. Since then, I have been working on my guitars as well as friend's guitars. I made a new pickguard for my washburn and put dual humbuckers in which replaced the three single coil pickups. Also, I my best friend is a luthier, so any question I would have could be answered by him. Let me know what you got.

REPLACE TUNERS- $50 and up. Seems like a simple job, but can be fraught with nuanced complications.

FRET LEVELING ("Filing", "Dressing"...) $90.00 and up. Worn or uneven frets can he filed level in many cases, if there will remain enough height on the fret to suit the customer. Frets must be lowered to the height of the lowest pit that can be found. Sometimes, replacing the most worn frets is appropriate. Includes "set up" adjustments.

HEADSTOCK CRACK- $150.00 and up, by quote. Glue, touchup. Repairs often not invisible, but finish should be smooth.

INSTALL "UNDER SADDLE" PICK UP - $75.00 - 150.00. Expand endpin hole to accommodate jack. Wire pickup to pre-amp and jack. Fit and re-size old saddle for proper action and contact with pickup. May require new saddle and re-rout of saddle slot(additional). There are other variables relating to pre-amps which must be individually quoted. Condition of bridge and neck angle may be factors in the appropriateness of an under the saddle pickup.
