Welcome to PLM Audio.
I am a home studio enthusiast (that means a bedroom Jean-Michel Jarre wannabe), a synth player, with a passion for experimenting with guitar tones and pushing the envelope. I've been customising electric guitars since 1984, once guitarists realised I know how to use a soldering iron, having repaired simple faults on old Moog Opus 3/Prodigy, Roland SH-09/SH-2, ARP Odyssey/Omni, and Oberheim vintage synths. What started as a request to wire in some new DiMarzio humbuckers with a series parallel and phase toggle switches into a Shaftsbury Les Paul copy, has grown over the years.
GUITAR CUSTOMISATION & PHILOSOPHY
I specialise in complete hardware overhauls, from widening peg holes to take 10mm locking tuners to designing custom scratchplates and building premium wiring harnesses using top-tier custom-shop components (including Bourns, Emerson Pro, CTS, Mojo, Free-Way, CRL, Oak Grigsby, Switchcraft, PureTone, Wilkinson, Gotoh, Kluson, Schaller, Wudtone, Fender, Sozo, Hosco, and vintage-accurate Gavitt pushback wire).
My design philosophy is to take solid low-cost foundation guitars as a starting point, gut the instrument and then upgrade with top-tier custom shop components to take the guitar to a level that rivals and even exceeds guitars costing thousands. As a left-hander there are not many models made for us as we barely represent even 1% of the guitar playing community, so I decided to take the highest left-handed model in a guitar range, like the Yamaha Pacifica 112JL, and build the left-handed high-spec Pacifica guitar I wished Yamaha would build for me.

Special Conditions
Returns are not accepted for change of mind. Because items are described with total transparency, all sales are considered final.
