MIKE IVRY: My name is Mike [PH] Ivry. I've done almost everything else in this industry. It's just that I'm getting of paying people to do basically touch-ups. I don't think they -- I don't trust them. I don't think they even put the loving to TLC in a guitar like I think I would. I think when you saw your own, you kind of would take the extra couple of seconds or whatever it is to tweak it just to perfection. This is what I am.

Maybe down the road, and I'm an old road guy, I'd like to have a little shop and, you know, maybe work on guitars if we still have them in about 10 or 20 years.

Well this here is kind of a mutt guitar. It's a Stratocaster with the '60 Strat neck. Like I was telling somebody earlier, it was on this Telecaster body, a '63 body, and I kept it that way for about 10 to 15 years and then I decided that I'll put it where it belongs, on a Strat, so I had another Strat and I just switched the necks on the guitar, so now this is -- I guess it feels a little bit more like at home.

I did a lot of work on the neck here like I got locking tuning machine heads here which to change strings you can't beat it. Just pop it through, clip it, and twist it. You know it's a piece of cake.

The instructor here, we took a look at, and he said the relief's good. For a neck that's almost 50 years old he said no relief was needed. Everything was fine. All I had to do was intonate it, so I got some graphite saddles here, ad that's about it.

You got to hear it. It's got to sound good because it's true about that little distraction in your guitar. If that thing isn't singing, it can't just take you away in to a different plane, so.

I need awesome gear... I'd like a free gear catalog!
My opinion is awesome. I'd like to take a gear survey
