72 Fender Telecaster restoration

Josh Tovar’s 72 Tele came to me from Nashville with a back-bowed neck and a nasty chisel hole underneath the pickguard that destroyed the end of the neck pocket. I used proprietary methods to repair the backbow, to get the adjustment range back and refretted the guitar, gave it a handmade bone nut, and grafted in a new piece of ash, re-routing the body in the original style.
