This guitar has spent about 15yrs in bits in a box .I worked as a sound engineer back in the 90s and worked on an Iron Maiden UK tour .The guitar was one of Janik Gers and ended up in a box because a guitar tech had broken the nut .the pickguard was put on another guitar and the rest ended up in the back of a truck in a Walkers crisps box.A few weeks after the shows finished I found it while cleaning out the truck and was told I could keep the bits .Fast forward to last year and I found them while moving house (still in crisp box) I dropped bits into Derick Nelson in Dublin who repaired the neck and put a delux scratch plate with hand wound 69s and set it up.I think it looks great and plays better ,dont know much about Hector Montez but he can make lovely necks
Anyway what do you guys think?

It's nice to bring something back to life again isn't it? It always amazes me to see a bunch of bits and parts end up sounding wonderful when put back together again. I'm moving to Dublin in April and looking for a good luthier myself - Where is he located?

He's in Marley Park he's one of the best in Europe and he seems to do work for most of the tax dodging rock stars resident in Ireland I just lent the guitar to a better player than me to do a few gigs with it will try and get a video up Im still amazed that it sat for so long and needed very little work to get it back to a great instrument WELL DONE FENDER
