Usual excitement from Ben still makes me smile ! Not your kind to rush that much on a finish though. Might as well have waited for the headstock to cure while cleaning and oiling that fretboard
Totally agree on the plates. I have these tuners on a few guitars and they are awesome! I think the plates take away slightly from an otherwise superb product!
Just recently used the fretboard cleaner and restorative for the first time and they are indeed excellent! The difference after applying the oil was amazing! I'll definitely be treating myself and my frets to the fret erasers next :)
Ben, after your "I think I have no choice but to get out the blow torch", it became clear to me that you sir, if you would be an animal, you would be my spirit animal! :)
Love the realization the mounting plates are included! I actually wish Graph Tech DID NOT include them because they do have matching plates available for purchase. It's a bit less offensive with the chrome, but gold tuners really look bad with those stamped "galvanized" plates. Drop the included plates and lower the price 10 dollars / pounds / quid / etc... or allow the grab-bag to be swapped for a single set of matched plates. Cheers!
Thanks for this video. Have been mildly agonizing over whether to paint the back of the headstock on a tele style neck, and now I see it isn't that bad.
Actually made one similar to it using one of your techniques on my neck by scorching it and it came out of the rezoning a success but instead using a normal piece of wood for it I used an old oak Bourbon Barrel head to make the body it was already burnt might as well just go ahead and Mac next match it looks really cool
Nice to see some self contained videos, episodic stuff can be very frustrating, I am disappointed at the disappearance of Bob Raven from your intro though, he deserves to be immortalised.
The low E & A strings are a tad higher after the nut with these new tuners as they extend higher out of the headstock than the originals. The use of the 'invisible' plates would reduce their height protrusion by a millimetre I suppose

Maintenance: replacing strings, cleaning/refreshing fretboard Upgrade: different (better?) tuners Still trying to decide which category "setting fire to headstock to avoid staining a half-dozen toothpicks" falls into. New category: Inspired madness. [Frequently found in Ben's videos.]
The two dimples represent the ratio mathematical symbol. Maybe you already knew this but Graphtech had to explain this in an Instagram post to me because I didn't figure it out on my own. Anyway thought I'd share foe anyone who didn't realize that.
How you must have suffered, having to apply flame not once, but twice! Still, the end result seems to have cheered you up with the twisty knobby things so all's well. On a slightly more serious note, I don't like the double dots in the buttons either- I'd replace them with something that perhaps matched the finish on the headstock.
I'm thinking about making a set of ebony buttons for these, there would be little to no fire involved but would you watch that? I do enjoy the no holds barred playing around I get to do when it is my own guitar on the workbench.. B
Why do they look so tall. The string go up to the tuner after the trees. But I do think they make a staggered set though. And I feel those would look better.
Yeah.. no point in hiding my mistake.. I am in a decades long process of teaching myself to always read the instructions.. and I actually do it at least 1 time in 4 ;) Bloody impressed with the Ratio tuners though. B
Those tuners look really tall. I'd need string trees with those. I'm preferring sperzel locking tuners with the staggered post heights on F-style headstocks as I can usually get away without string trees.
I am spending more time playing with the tools I buy from crimson guitars than finishing the instruments I work on 😅 Ben you are too much and you make us enjoying too much playing with wood 😂
You do realise that when you were having all the fun with the new tuners, plucking strings and changing the tone and laughing about the difference there was, the background muzak was so loud that your guitar was drowned out. Therefore I don't have a clue about what difference the new tuners made! Not a complaint as such, more disappointed that I didn't get the full experience. I was hoping you would be able to tear one down and show the internals!?
I'm unclear about what makes those tuners special. Is it you advance it a turn then return to the starting position while the tuner holds the increments of tightening? I don't like the dimples either. I liked the open work filigree one in the photo.
Ben, question. If you do not use the spacer plates under the tuners, do that not make them too tall and reduce the break angle at the nut? The reason I ask is that the tuning post height looks too tall. Do they make a staggered set?

Wow 2 things... 1) 18:56 those strings look silly on the headstock... The V pattern because of the string trees look really bad... :\ 2) 21:38 The bridge saddles look way too high to me...! Why is that, bad neck angle?
One question about the tuners; does their accuracy vary with sting gauge? There could be a big difference between a set on .08s and a set of .12s, for example.
Can you recommend a good guitar hardware shop in Europe? I'm currently planning a 7-string fanned fret guitar and finding the proper hardware has been unexpectedly difficult. It seems I would have to order most of the parts directly from the manufacturer, which can occur some quite hefty shipping costs. Shipping for Hipshot single string bridges and tuners to Germany, for example, is $50 US. Same goes for EMG pickups etc. etc. etc. So, it would obviously be really helpful to have a shop in Europe that has a good selection of hardware, including stuff needed for 7 strings and fanned fret instruments... which is where most shops I've found so far either fail completely or have just _one_ part in _one_ color.
Honestly we have the same problem and I am hoping to set Crimson up as exactly that store.. however, for now.. we can't really help. Good luck in your search.. B
@@CrimsonCustomGuitars Thanks for the reply, even though you can't really help me right now. :) Good to know I'm not just blind and / or stupid. So far, it seems I can actually get 7 individuals Hipshot tuners from Warwick Germany, bridges from ABM in Germany and, if I can compromise a bit on the pickups, I can get similar EMG pickups to the ones I actually want from several guitar stores... or I just pay the shipping for the pickups. Do you have any recommendations on single-string bridges? Currently I just found two (ABM and Hipshot). Are there others you know of that you'd prefer? Same goes for tuners, obviously. Any preferences there?
I have just started to cast to my TV from my phone I rarely watch you tube on anything else, and with the HD I have to ask you two questions 1) are your eye lashes real 2) how have you maintained them with your panchayat for being arson around 😂😂😂😂😂😂

And.. well.. occasionally I set my beard on 🔥 but the eyelashes have so far survived.. also, I'm not going to lie.. even after all this time the thought that I am actually appearing on people's televisions is, well.. wierd, and scary and incredibly cool. Thanks for watching! B
Hmm. Those tuners... no advantage when installing a string... still got to wind it up to pitch. Tuning, once there, still no advantage, unless a string goes wildly out of tune. The one thing that does make me think i'd like to try them, is when you're in tune, and you want to RETUNE to say DAGDAD, etc. Then the rotation required to move the pitch by a set amount per unit rotation does make sense. Means if you're dextrous enough, you can drop tune a string(s) much more accurately than with any other current design.
Ok just to the point where Ben plugs the holes. So...... Guessing he has never opened the box and read the directions and seen the plates that fit his prior holes. Shaking my head waiting for Ben's reaction when he discovers this and also a reason why ratio tuners are a great replacement tuner. They fit everything no drill.
Sigh. You also got the wrong tuners. You got 6 in line all same height. They make ones for telecaster style the get lower from 6 to 1. Ben, Ben, Ben. So disappointed in you. BTW those 2 little nubs you drilled. Designed to fit the tuners from Ibanez, jackson, esp. basically what comes from the big japanese factory. You don't need the plates for those guitars. Just a FYi.

Hi Ben;
I absolutely love the neck on this guitar. The finish is beautiful. The body isn't bad either, but the neck makes the guitar.
I changed my standard cheapo Ibanez tuners versus those Graph Tech Ratios. Really like them.

That guitar is beautiful Ben!
Son: Dad are we pyromaniacs. Dad: Yes we arson. 😂
Haha! I enjoyed that :)!
I like the dimples. Functional and aesthetic, IMHO.
Aha!! Now I can play Passionflower!! I still couldn't play Passionflower with those tuners lol

Hey Ben, they actually sell plates on different colors and finishes. But it is sold separately.
Ben, check the website. The mounting plates do come is several different finishes, purchased separately .
Lol. Thats what I get for doing it cinema-verite.. I really should have checked though! Thanks for the heads up.. B

Yeah, more if this Ben. Very cool simple stuff
Will do.. very definitely. Thanks for watching. B
Any unexplained structure fire within 50 mile radius
Police: Bring Crowe in for questioning again 😀
A neat and professional solution to tuner hols is to veneer the back of the head-stock, it ads beauty and strangth
On any guitar other than this, which had already been burnt from its Guts to its garters yes.. a nice veneer would be the way forward. B

Why do they look so tall. The string go up to the tuner after the trees. But I do think they make a staggered set though. And I feel those would look better.
@ I'm thinking it is because the headstock itself is so thin, it makes the tuners look like redwood trees. XD
