    Thanks again for another great video. I work on a lot of cheap guitars. Simply using a crimping tool on the frets to create compression and sometimes saving a neck reset is awesome. I will be getting one of those tools very soon. People with inexpensive guitars love them just like anyone else. I rescue them for people when I can.

    Scott, you mention that silver is a soft metal. Nickel silver frets don’t contain actual silver. They’re an alloy of copper, nickel and zinc. Just thought it was worth mentioning.
    Great video again though! Really enjoying them.

    Hi Scotty, these frets are probably 12% nickel only which make them much softer than the usual 18% nickel.

    Very good video, you really show what you're doing with this guitar. I can't understand why classical guitars don't have trussrods. I happen to have a Hohner that does have one, never any problem with that guitar.

      Thanks! I’m working on an 55 year old Garcia Classical guitar that has a non adjustable truss rod.

    Hey great video Scott, do you think the Fret compression or the backbow tension you added with a clamp helped the neck? or was it a combination of the two?

      Thanks Vinnie. Probably a combination of the two things helped straighten it out.

      So good to see a video with compression straighting. How many years did martin do this for repair? Adjustable truss rod in 1984?

    Would it have been possible to use a new set of frets of a different size or material for an easier fit? Or would that have taken away from the guitars originality/value?

      I believe that would have been better. Typically fretwire is harder than this.

    Holy moly there's no way I can do this kind of work, too much. What would you charge for this type of job? I guess that's why cheap guitars aren't worth fixing.

    Note: as far as I know, there's no silver in nickel-silver.

    Did you try the trust rod before you did all that?

      Classical guitars don't have truss rods.

      @kenlieberman4215 I did not know that thanks.

    You realize how much of a bullshit it is when people claim that classical guitars dont need a truss rod. Thats just a handicap thats been maintained because of tradition. Just because the tension of a nylon string is not as high as steel string, it does not mean it wont show its effects overtime

      My classical guitars don't need a truss rod. I make my fingerboards with round bar frets, they only require cutting into the fretboard .046" and it's a 3/32 wide half round slot which is naturally a structural arch. It doesn't weaken the fretboard at all. Zero neck movement ever. Sawing fretboard slots weakens the wood by 50%

    Even if I straighten the neck by attaching a clamp like this to my classical guitar, if I release the clamp, the neck bends back to its original position.
    Even if heat is applied, the same result is obtained.
    I would be grateful if you could give me a hint to straighten the neck.

      Without looking at it in person, I’m not comfortable making any recommendations other than to take it to a professional luthier

      Yeah I have a Silvertone guitar that was my dad's. The action is so high it won't even read on the string gauge. I saw a video where a guy put an iron on the fretboard and then pushed down on it. I'm not sure that would be safe. There is a slight separation at the bottom where the heal of the neck attaches to the body of the guitar. It may need a neck reset. It's probably a 69 or 69 with no truss rod.
