John Wedemeyer and America’s Got Talent winner Michael Grimm
Bay Area “Blues Rock” hero John Wedemeyer applies his jaw-dropping fretwork in support of Michael Grimm, winner of America’s Got Talent. Grimm blew away the judges on AGT with his amazing soulful performances and won over the hearts and votes of millions of viewers.
Here is a great shot of John diggin’ in on his Keith Holland Custom S-ANS, one of his two Keith Holland ‘Aged-New Stock’ Guitars. This one sports a custom “Sonic Blue” Nitrocellulose finish thinly applied for better resonance, Custom-Shaped Maple Neck, and Keith’s Custom Aged Hardware. John prefers Seymour Duncan ‘59 pickup in the bridge, and Fralin Vintage Hots in the Neck and Mid positions.
Anyone who’s seen these two know this is a great combo – Lets hope for some more amazing things to come from John and Michael in the future!
Look for Michael’s debut release “Michael Grimm” this May 17 on Epic Records http://www.michaelgrimmmusic.com/

Unlike the department stores, we check the action and playability before it leaves the shop so that the road to learning guitar is as smooth as possible. We’ll even perform a follow up adjustment months down the road to make sure its still playing as it should. We see way too many beginner guitars come in for adjustment, only to discover its makes more sense for the owner to buy a new guitar.

Acoustic Guitar Crack Repair Video
Watch below as Keith Holland of keith Holland Guitars who services the Bay Area, San Jose, Los Gatos and San Francisco area repairs an “acoustic-guitar-crack” that has traveled along the body sides.This video highlights the need to repair an “acoustic-guitar-crack” as soon as possible. Cracks can start out as tiny little annoyances, but can quickly grow out of hand, rendering a guitar unplayable.
The sooner you can get a crack repaired, the better. A harmless looking crack in an otherwise aesthetic area can easily spread and threaten the structural integrity of the instrument. And if that’s not enough, as time passes the exposed wood in the crack oxidizes, which means that the repair will be more noticeable the longer you wait.
For best results, Keith recommends all “acoustic-guitar-crack” problems be brought in for repair within 24 hours whenever possible.

Guitar Repair Videos Gretsch 6124 Archtop Bridge Install

Keith Holland repairs Archtop Bridge on a 60’s Gretch 6124 Archtop Vintage Guitar.
In this video, Keith shows a Gretsch 6124 that is undergoing a restoration. When new, this 6124 originally came with an Archtop style bridge that rested on the top of the body. Somewhere in this guitar’s history it had holes drilled into the top for a Tune-O-Matic bridge to be installed. Keith’s first step was to fill the holes with Maple dowel rod.
The next step was to shape the bottom of the bridge so that it makes a matching fit with the top of the Archtop. This is a little tricky, and Keith decided to make a video so you can see how its done in order to make a solid contact with the top.

Can a Gibson EBO Truss Rod be Replaced?
The subject of this neck-saving procedure is an amazing Early 60’s Gibson EBO Bass!….
Its not too difficult to find a guitar tech that will answer this question with a simple “no” and nothing else. For most instruments, the de’facto method of dealing with a damaged truss rod is to install a new neck. But there are some greatly cherished instruments that deserve to keep their necks. And for these lucky instruments the real answer is YES, a truss rod CAN be replaced. In this video series, we get to see what’s involved as Keith goes under the fingerboard.
