5:41 thank you for filing down the stuff left after cutting the tangs. I've seen someone else skip the filing and leave the rest of the tang so it tears up the fretboard. They even commented on this video. Personally, I would do just like you and undercut every tang on every guitar, no matter if it has binding or not. It prevents fret sprout later. Both of my $200 Samick-built guitars have the tangs undercut from the factory. So they will never have fret sprout. I intend on doing it to any guitar I refret every time.
When you level the fretboard you don’t use radius sanding blocks, and as I use fractal fret press caul it’s basically the same. If you use standard fret press caul you need to change inserts 🙃
Дзякуй за відэа. Доўга шукаў, як можна зрабіць чыстку нелакіраванага грыфа з клёну. Бо ў мяне, ён амаль ужо чорны. Выдатна выкананая праца. Яшчэ раз дзякуй.
Дякую! Спробуйте уайт-спірит або подібні розчинники :) А якщо дуже забруднений - то треба очистити за допомогою Dunlop 01. Ця штука на водній основі тому може підняти ворс, і можливо треба буде трохи пройтись сталевою ватою або скотчбрайтом та оновити покриття яке у вас було.
@@TadykaGuitars Дзякуй, вельмі важная інфармацыя. Бо я бачыў, што некаторыя гітарныя адэпты, рабілі чыстку бензінам з пад запальнічак Zippo. Але ж я не рызыкнуў так рабіць.
@@TadykaGuitars I've been watching her show from the US, and yours came into my feed. I recognized your shop. You have the same neck stand with your picture on it.
I don't get why stainless steel frets don't come stock on major brands, they simply dont wear out unless you play like a madman every single day for years
The fractal fret press is very cool. I want one but I'm not a professional so I cannot justify the cost. It's fun seeing how your technique differs from Tanyas. There is more than one right way to install frets!
Yes, that press is just amazing! But I totally agreed, you need an arbor press, or drill press also to use it. And that means you have a shop, so for home users it’s definitely overkill. And yes there is way more ways to do one job right 😊
Well still is crappy to me but not because your work. Your fretwork is excellent, but guitar itself sound to me slightly out of intonation. Im not sure how high is your action (or did you do that on purpose, or not). Either way I think that you should check how neck is set.
@@TadykaGuitars Is that so? Well you can loosen screws which holds the neck, and you can tune your guitar. That will give small forward bow, and then you can slowly tighten those screws back ;)
Major cringe seeing you use an orbital sander on the fingerboard. Definitely use the appropriate radius block with 220 for better control and less chance of flatspotting. Same goes for leveling new fretts, use the same radius block for better control and perfect radius between fret to fingerboard. This is exactly why they are made.
So what do you think? Or it would be better if I left everything as it is and just level the frets? 🙃
Much better result than the crappy spray job! Not a fan of the jumbo frets but that's my preference,,,,
Thank you!
I think you could’ve gotten one more level and crown out of those. Seemed like there was enough fret left. Either way…..nice work
@@gnomechomsky5446 much better playability with new frets.
I think you could have went either way. Depends on what the customer wants & how much they want to spend on the job
Thank you for the new, beautiful video 😊
You’re welcome ☺️
@@TadykaGuitarsthis is cute
Beautiful work and also great camera work...the close-ups are really nice!
@@rickcurtis2983 thanks!

That fret press was really cool!
Agreed, would love to know where to get one!

I would really like to have that J. Edwards Fractal Fret Press. It's out of my price range today, but I can still dream.
That press construction is ingenious 😀
Yes, it`s a game changer 🙃
No need to swap diferrent cauls anymore 😁
Great job, work looks super clean! I’ve had a bunch of those necks, the stock fret wire was always soft and wore out quickly
@@DanGower thank you 😊
Those necks came Tru oiled from the factory. Looks to me someone sprayed or maybe even brushed finish over it. Good to see you remove it and re-oil.
Thank you! Yes, someone defiitely just brushed some kind of laquer over the fretboard :)
MIJ charvel socal and san dimas maple necks are exceptional quality. Odd seeing that weird gunk applied to it. Anyways, great job!
@@koonsickgreen6272 thanks 😊
Дуже крута робота, приємно спостерігати! Круто що наша країна має таких талановитих майстрів. Дякую за класний контент 🙏
Дякую! ❤️
7:59 what does this pen do?
Super professional job! Nice work
@@polymorphism1966 thank you!
What a nice instrument! Love the new frets looks!
Thanks!
What's with all the tear out around the fret slots? It appears to be pretty bad.
Great work,do you,mr k,and Tanya,work at a sort of communal luthier school,if so who ever taught you has some great experience,,n you great as well
Is it a different process since it has a compound radius fretboard?
When you level the fretboard you don’t use radius sanding blocks, and as I use fractal fret press caul it’s basically the same.
If you use standard fret press caul you need to change inserts 🙃
@@TadykaGuitarsthank you love your work!
The restoration job wasn’t that awful… Just kidding, great work and nice video also :)
Thank you ☺️

shouldn't you glue first and then clamp?
You can do this way too :)

@@zaxmaxlax it’s way harder to work on, and requires way more labor for manufacturer 🙃

Great job. I can’t stand that horrible yellowy lacquer that they put on maple necks.

You have either got bad audio or the guitar sounds shit?
@@davidhowells-rl9li 🤔
looks like the neck got a really poor refurbishment by someone previously.
Yep, that was the case 🙃
Level and make it a gibson style fretless wonder
Wtf is with the title and thumbnail? I'm pretty sure this is something someone modified, I've never seen anything this bad MIJ. You did great job tho.
@@arkoff thank you!
Yes, someone tried to paint the fretboard 🙃
Золоті руки
Лучше бы лаком покрыть...
В оригіналі гриф під маслом, він не має бути лакованим 🙃
@@TadykaGuitars а какое масло вы использовали?
