    Default what I did today

    My buddy drooped off his 70's Nishijin for me to clean and go over for him today.

    He has not played the thing for 8 or 9 years and it has sat in his dad's garage the whole time.

    I stripped the thing down and went through a roll of towels, and 100 or so Q-tips. It was cleaner than i thought so it went very quick. I re soldered all the connections and hooked up a wall wart for the lights. Then I tested it for about 2 hours to make sure everything is in working order.

    I wish I had money to get more of these for myself as I find the cleaning and rebuilding relaxing and fun

    Yesterday I went with a good friend to the animal shelter and picked up the cutest dog for her and after I got home the guy that owns the pachinko and I rebuilt a custom shop Jackson RR1 guitar.

    today I also fixed a computer for a Friend.

    Tomorrow, we will just have to wait and see...
