James Hutchinson recently contacted me to tell me about his business customising guitars, when I saw what he has been creating in his workshop I had to share it.

Hutchinson Guitar Customisation - Molten Lava Guitar

James is like a mad scientist not content with easy custom guitar projects he really takes his work to the extreme, take the Molten Lava Guitar for example: The original concept was a simple flat cracked surface with light shining through. I decided this would be too much akin to the custom painted Charvels of the late 80′s. Consequently I sought a way of having the lava flow over the guitar in three dimensions. After much painstaking research and development I have succeeded in my aim- to produce a rock guitar so hot its molten!

Or, maybe it just never felt right from day one, whatever the case, you know it's time for a tune-up (pun intended). I can usually tell when my guitar needs a bit of tweaking, it starts to feel tedious and tiring to play, albeit in a very subtle way. This page is intended to help you do the basic tasks yourself.

EverTune bridge keeps your guitar in tune

EverTune has a product in the works that will help. It won't help you switch tunings, or tune the guitar for you like Gibson's effort, but once you've tuned a guitar with an EverTune bridge, it apparently stays tuned forever. There's nothing digital on board, just "simple mechanical principles". As your strings or tuning posts loosen, an adaptive spring-tensioner compensates, and keeps tension locked exactly to where you set it. EverTune is in talks with guitar manufacturers to include its bridges on new guitars, and will also be available in kit form to retrofit to your favorite axe.
