Mods and services
Guitar Modifications, Repairs & Custom Electronics
At High Water Guitars, building instruments is only part of what I do. I also offer a wide range of guitar modifications, repairs, custom electronics, and pedalboard services designed to improve the sound, playability, and functionality of the instruments and equipment you already own.
Whether you're looking for a simple setup or a complete electronic overhaul, I can help tailor your guitar to the way you play. Services include pickup replacements and custom wiring, neck reshaping, playability adjustments, repairs, and the installation of active electronics and onboard effects loops (OBEL). Many of the advanced electronic features found in High Water instruments can also be adapted to existing guitars, regardless of manufacturer.
I also design and build custom junction boxes and interface pedals, including phantom-power systems that allow compatible active guitars to operate without onboard batteries. These solutions can simplify complex signal paths, improve reliability, and provide greater flexibility between your guitar, effects, and amplifier.
For pedalboards, I offer everything from complete custom builds to reorganizing and cleaning up existing setups. This includes pedal placement, signal routing, power distribution, cable management, and integrating specialized switching or effects-loop systems.
The goal is simple: make your equipment work better for you. Whether that means bringing a favorite guitar back to life, unlocking new tonal possibilities, or creating a cleaner, more reliable stage setup, every project receives the same attention to detail as a custom High Water instrument.
