Guitar repairs

Song name that's one bad mofo

I can’t see shit here

Good video man!!

Oh My...all I can say is: DECAF!

Very nice! And it makes sense. What is the size difference between the new zero fret and the original frets? Well done!

Thanks. I’m 65, been fixing and modifying guitars forever, and am considering doing it full time now.

What kit is this? I'm looking for a 594 kit.

I thought tip #1 would be getting a badass pair of overalls like yours, where did you get them pls? :)

You are amazingly fast. You'd have to charge by the minute instead of hour. Superman luthier. Able to leap 7 guitars with a single bound. [ Only last one is crushed .. ] Oh yeah I had a Zero Glide brand zero fret installed on my Epi Dot. I tune all strings at the 2nd fret. Open strings will be a few cents flat, but a cent is something like 1/100th of a quarter note. James Taylor has a neat way of tuning ... check out his video. There is a tuner available that uses his tuning method

Just get a Zeroglide

That sander to the fretboard was like a war crime to me :(

I really would like to see a video on the zero glide. You are very talented at woodworking and most people are not. Including myself. Thanks I have watched videos on people building houses, interesting but I can't do it.

The cheaper tool cut stainless steel tang?

I understand the zero fret very well what I don’t understand is why the fret, not the nut but the first (zero) fret has been slotted?

The guitar came out great and nice playing at the end! Sorry to hear you lost your job but good to hear you we're able to find another job. I'm looking forward to the next project.

You defeated the point when you slotted the zero fret!??

Nice job brother, hard times to loose your job, glad you come out on top. That guitar is trippy as hell, sounds great too man, keep the vids coming. 🎸

Hey man! Glad to hear the job thing worked out better for you in the end. Scary changes any time you go through something like that.

Lets go! Nice man! I missed part 2 somehow!

You’re way hard on yourself and created something out of nothing that other would have been in the burn barrel with a family connection to on top of that under less than normal life circumstances And it looks and sounds great! A+……👍

Proud of you! What a blessing to see you and that young man enjoying such a great hobby and expressing your creative gifts together this is magical.

Good to see your boy getting involved. I love it when my kids show interest. Looking forward to seeing this come together, that top is wild!

Looking good my friend!!

Great restoration job so far. It's nice to see that these old classic guitars are being appreciated again these days and are worth bringing back to life! The 60's surf music with that unmistakable drip tone went well as a backing track for the video!

Wow, nice paint work on that guitar! I can watch someone soldering electronics all day long, it’s one of my favorite parts of a guitar build.

Again I want to express my gratitude to everyone tuning in. Initially, I was just a regular person, persuaded by my son to start making these videos. Some turn out alright, others not so much. But I'm dedicated to getting better with each one. To all who've subscribed, thank you. And to those who haven't yet, I'd really appreciate it if you could take a moment to do so helps the channel and does not cost anything.

Menuda chapuza!!!...

My goodwill never has guitars…

It’s gotta be a great feeling to be restoring a guitar your dad left to you. Nice work so far and I’m looking forward to part 2.

I feel your sentiment. My first guitar I made was in 1982, made various instruments through the years and even worked at Charvel in 1985-1986. Right now, I am refurbishing my first guitar my parents bought me. A 1977 Paracho guitar they bought in Mexico. It was a tourist guitar but it means more to me right now than ever before.

I want to express my gratitude to everyone tuning in. Initially, I was just a regular person, persuaded by my son to start making these videos. Some turn out alright, others not so much. But I'm dedicated to getting better with each one. To all who've subscribed, thank you. And to those who haven't yet, I'd really appreciate it if you could take a moment to do so.

In 2016, I knew I wanted to be a guitar tech, so I went to my only local shop to inquire about a job. The shop had a bad reputation for less than quality repairs. The owner said they didn't need anyone. So, I dove headfirst and opened my own guitar shop specializing in used guitars. I quickly built a reputation for being a good tech. In 2019 I sold the shop and continued to be the tech for the new owner. The big C virus shut them down permanently. I setup a workbench at home and do guitar repair full time. I couldn't be happier!

What's the point ? ....i don't get what advantages a zero fret has (why hardly any guitars not Soviet after the 60s have them?)

What were you using at the end of the video? Is that Bondo?

Cool man, it's like an upside down ovation. Looking forward to seeing how it comes out.

Nice one bro, thanks for the shout. :)

Nice work on that P-Bass, you really brought it back to life! Where did you get that matte black pick guard? I've been looking for one but can't seem to find it.
