I have many basic tools-a vice that can accommodate necks. Manual and electric drills. Soldering gear, etc.
I hate starting on jobs just to find that I don't have some essential.
My budget for this stuff is not high, and I have a range of jobs--pickups, fret jobs, setups. Simple stuff, really. I want to learn and eventually advance, but for now, I need only the minimum of what I need.
So what would you recommend that I'll absolutely have to have?
