  • Phil Collen Model Repair and Refinish

    Mike just finished up a repair and refinish job I thought that I would share with you.

    We received this guitar with some major damage on the headstock. The headstock had been previously broken and poorly repaired between the scarf and the nut. Mike dug out the old repair, fixed it properly and then moved on to the cracked binding.

    Using a new technique, Mike was able to repair the binding - WITHOUT having to dig out large amounts of old binding.

    After the repairs, Mike did a refinish on the previously solid black body, upgrading it to and Adrenalize model!!

              I'm starting to wonder if Mike really does all of these repairs/finishes himself or if he has a magic machine that he puts turds into and gold nuggets pop out

              I used to get turned off when I saw a used guitar that had alot of issues. Now I just think to myself, "I wonder how much Mike would charge to put that one in the magic box?"

                Wow! Smoking repair to a really smoking guitar Mike!

                And someone please tell me why Jackson could not have re-released this model instead of the PC Supreme crappola version?
