@@ellobogallo9796 I would like to ask the same question. Why are you soldering the frets before you pull them. Is it to loosen them to reduce wood damage? Also, about the scammer. I almost fell for a giveaway scam a few months ago. The scammer spent an entire week chatting back and forth with me but I managed to get it through my thick skull the I was not chatting with a scammer and not the real person.
Your work is totally amazing! I’m 65 years old I’m an interior finish carpenter but in my younger days I played guitar and bass and so I can appreciate and understand what you’re doing. Your work is so precise and you amaze me with somebody tools you suddenly appear with with your workmanship it’s just totally top notch in every way. I enjoyed your videos great work😊
Fantastic job on the guitar as well as the video. I love your “ no fluff, no bullshit,” style. Your wordless presentation taught me more in five minutes than any of these bloated thirty + minute lectures that some people produce. I look forward to watching more of these . Thanks
That rotary tool had me on the edge of my seat as well. It worked!!! Using a fret saw is the method I use to clear out the old slots and make way for the new. Super easy and quick but we all have our methods and no one is right....just different. Its whatever works. Great job!
Super enjoyable to watch! I (almost) can’t believe it came out of the factory in that original condition - looks like a bodge. Your skills are outstanding - from the look of the headstock finish, I’d hand that guitar over to you for a full rebuild, paint strip and refinish!!
Wow. I've had such work done on my (bass) guitars, but never actually got to see how it was done, and now I'm fascinated. I've learned a lot by just watching. Thank you for this! P.S. I also like how you didn't dress your video up with any music, we just hear the sound of you at work. It's actually quite mesmerizing, and very relaxing to watch.
Wow, what a difference. Your attention to detail, the filling of fret slot end gaps really impressed me. I've subscribed. Hoping you have a video of a refret with nibs on the neck binding.
This is the most satisfying video I've seen for this type of work! So meticulous. Thank you for sharing this, as I built my first and only diy guitar during the pandemic, and I'm now going back to finish the project. I most definitely learned invaluable tips from this.
Instead of what I am guessing is super glue (4.05), I mask each slot, squeegie in colour matched resin based wood filler, remove the tape and tap in exactly as you do. The filler pops out the fret ends and seals any gaps below the fret (As per at 7:09). I have found that it also makes for a super solid feel to the neck as all the slot is filled. Evo gold fretwire is only a few $ more than standard nickle, works a bit harder but will be the last fret job done. Very nice work, I also find the soldering iron to be the best way to reduce chip-out. :- )
Damn what a beautiful job you did there ! And congrats for you kickstart, 2 vids in 2 weeks and already that much views and subs ! Looking forward for more :)
I don’t usually watch this kind of content so I am pleasantly surprised that I was recommended your channel!! Instant sub. Watching your work is so satisfying!!
My dad had 2 of these years back when he was playing brings back memories and you are a legend at your work perfection an love for the items you heal nothing but respect 🙏🏻
A lovely, tidy job. I must admit that at my great age I use a router base with the dental bits to clean and depth the fret slots. The only thing I am surprised about is that YOU are surprised by the poor quality of the fretwork. It's bad, but not especially bad for a Gibson, where the quality control is notoriously poor. I'm currently working on a 1963 B45 12 string where the dovetail is full of some sort of green filler. Yuk.
I feel like the TH-cam guitar community is much more positive and upbeat than Facebook. Seems like everyone’s a know it all on FB where everyone in the comments here are positive and encouraging. Pretty cool
When I watched your first video, quite by chance, I was more interested in the guitar, it was strange to me the absence of voice, talking... and then I realized how much talking in others distracts from the topic of the video. Excellent. Where there is a lot of talk, no work done, just look at the politicians! :)
Dang, was earwax used? Good grief that fretboard was gnarly looking. Fantastic job with the restoration! Im learnjng how to do this and had no idea how much patience it takes
That much tear-out almost looks like someone installed them vintage Fender style, tapping them in from the bass side of the neck so the tang would bite more. Leo Fender designed it that way because it was faster which meant cheaper. His plan all along was for players to just replace the entire neck once the frets wore down. Those old Fender necks were never meant to be refretted. This really looks like an old Fender factory hand got busy with a Gibson neck…
My only guess as to what happened is, they were about install the frets, they applied hide glue to the fret slots, went out to catch a smoke, then tried to install the frets with a rubber mallet. Im glad you were able to salvage the last "luthiers" work.
Well, that corner cutting certainly wasn't reflected in its pricetag... I had an XPL-V from 1985 (so just out of that Norlin era) and that one was rotten to the core too. Body from no less than 5 totally mismatched pieces of mahogany, frets were installed shockingly bad, around the glued in neck there was a few gaps that were filled with some blue putty that had never cured before they painted the guitar - still soft when I too it out. That V was sold, cheap as chips. I've played other Gibsons too, but never owned those - just the V. And thát was the absolute last Gibson for me 😂 My Chinese knock-off Les Paul is definitely better 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can fix my guitar. It a washburne and it 30 year old and the frets are worn down flat in some part of the fretboard. It also amazes me when I clean the guitar down every time i change the strings i always find grit caked onto the fretboard ,I do make sure I play with clean hands,but there a amazing amount of grit that builds up.
it looked like there was a ton of tear out on that first fret then you removed the glue and WOW lol that was a ton of glue after you leveled it it looked great. where did you get the fret bevel file? or did you make it? and your blue sanding pads ? a video of your shop and what tools you use and where you get them that would be a great video as always great video
Hi Tanya Very well done, I'm a big fan of highly skilled craftsmanship. Quick question, the first step you did with your soldering iron. Was that intended to break the glue bonding? Did you use the soldering paste to better transfer the heat to the fret? Thank you 👍🏼
This is such a perfect video, not only because it shows the whole step by step in great lighting and cut out all the fat for the video but it shows every single added care that she takes into the process, which add to the cost. Everything here was the highest quality approach. I would trust this woman with not only my favorite and most expensive guitar but with my newborn child 😂
Wow!! That was impressive.. it looked horrible when you started . Looks perfect now. I’d love to play one of your re frets. I must say also, there aren’t a lot of young ladies with the knowledge and skill set you have about guitars here in the states. You’ve got my attention. 😉
This is therapy for me 😂. I love working on guitars. I just started working on them not long ago so I'm nowhere near this good but maybe one day I will be. Nice work👍🏼
It's crazy how Gibson used to send this type of shit sometimes.. It's litterally months or years of hard work to pay yourself these guitars. But nice job you did here It's now a great fretboard !
Is this Gibsong a £3,500 effort? I bet the full amount of time spent on this refret was probably about ten times longer than it got at the factory! A fascinating watch. Liked & Subscribed!
WOW. I'm truly amazed. I was surprised how you tamp the frets at the ends first, but it makes sense to force the outer barbs to grab horizontally by pushing the center down last. I really liked your polish technique because it doesn't require sandpaper or taping. I wonder what bit you're using to clear the fret slots... but that's probably a chef's secret. Is that CA glue you're feeding under the frets? Is that CA accelerator you're swabbing afterwards, or just alcohol?

Yes, we know it but nice to remind us again!
Are you using an sodering iron with flux strips to heat up the frets hotter and faster?
@@ellobogallo9796 Much easier IMHO
Omg!!! 😢

Fantastic re-fret job. You have impressive skill and great attention to detail! No masking at all: unbelievable!
Thank you!:)

Thanks, I also use fret saws, but not in this case :)
@@TanyaShpachuk I guess in this case all that glue could gum up the saw.
you really saw that in the beginning and said “I can fix her”
Super enjoyable to watch! I (almost) can’t believe it came out of the factory in that original condition - looks like a bodge. Your skills are outstanding - from the look of the headstock finish, I’d hand that guitar over to you for a full rebuild, paint strip and refinish!!
I CAN believe it came out of the factory like that. I've seen one or two awful Gibbos.
@@robertnewell5057lol exactly. It's a Gibson, which is why a trip to tech is warranted.
I,ve heard that gibson totally went to crap when they moved to memphis, tn.
Wow. I've had such work done on my (bass) guitars, but never actually got to see how it was done, and now I'm fascinated. I've learned a lot by just watching. Thank you for this!
P.S. I also like how you didn't dress your video up with any music, we just hear the sound of you at work. It's actually quite mesmerizing, and very relaxing to watch.
Now you know why it costs so much for a refret, eh?
Totally agree! it's very interesting to watch her perform her craft without the usual background distracting music that other vids use.
Muy de acuerdo con no poner música, el sonido real de su trabajo es la mejor musica.🇦🇷👍
Amazing Talent this young Lady has! I love bringing old things back to life. Well done - you go girl !

Another job well done Miss Tanya!
Educational, inspirational and above all absolutely superb job.just a joy to watch .
Amazing, i couldn't stop watching!! Great work!
Superb job, like to see what you do. Detailed video presentation! Greetings, Bodo
This was great. Thank you. Really good quick refresher.
I can only repeat what was already said: talent, patience and dedication do miracles - you are trully blessed with your gift.
Very fine craftsmanship. This video showcased the highest tier of skill, you are a guitar surgeon!
I wouldn’t say it’s the worst fretwork. It looks like you did a pretty good job.
That was good 👍
It doesn't even look like the same guitar. Just an amazing difference
Ніколи не думав, що буду з таким захопленням спостерігати процес ремонту гітари! Ви молодець, справжня майстриня своєї справи!
That magic moment when you oil a dry fretboard, so satisfying.
Excellent work! It's great to see a talented craftsperson at work.
Excellent work,,, especially the way you removed the frets,,,
Also a detailed video on refretting,,,👍👍👍❤️
Excellent. Very steady hands … no tape on fretboard … chapeau! The finger nail work is also remarkable
Thank you :)
Pfft... prepackaged frets. Amateur.
Let’s have a look at your luthier work, then?
Pft… Know-nothing TH-cam commenter. Typical.
@@artysanmobile great argument 👍🏻
I find it cool how you work with your hands yet so meticulously keep your nails painted . Tanya you are amazing !
Just amazing watching you work! Your skill and craftsmanship is stunning! Could watch this stuff all day!!
Amazing work! Thanks for showing how it is done.
Wow! The best fret job I’ve seen in my life!!👏👏
I wish I could afford to send my Strat neck from Europe to you!!
Beautiful work!!
I learned a lot about guitar repair. Thank you for your enthusiasm.
My dad had 2 of these years back when he was playing brings back memories and you are a legend at your work perfection an love for the items you heal nothing but respect 🙏🏻
Beautiful work, well-done video, thanks!
One suggestion: In the transcript, maybe add the tools and supplies used? Thanks again!
That was some crud you got rid of there. Nice refret. You're an artist ❤

Nice work, Tanya! You seem confident and thorough in your fret work. Good job!
Thank you!
I used to jump out of planes into very bad situations for a living. But THIS video terrified me...
When I watched your first video, quite by chance, I was more interested in the guitar, it was strange to me the absence of voice, talking... and then I realized how much talking in others distracts from the topic of the video. Excellent. Where there is a lot of talk, no work done, just look at the politicians! :)
1:39 was a moment of great relief.
Inspiring to see such workmanship.
Dang, was earwax used? Good grief that fretboard was gnarly looking. Fantastic job with the restoration! Im learnjng how to do this and had no idea how much patience it takes
Wow that was great work, very impressive to see the care and attention to great fretwork
Thank you:)
Excellent video; super-clear photography. Much appreciated!

Capel tunnel, I feel your pain, buddy. I drop s*** all the time like it wasn't even clasped in my big hands.
That was attention to detail, great job

What an absolute delight it is to watch a master of her craft. This is perfection. Bravo!
And that folks, is a professional fret job.
Amazing work. Would love to have you do my next re-fret.
That must be a Norlin era Les Paul? They were notorious for cutting corners then. Glad you did a great job on the frets ❤
Well, that corner cutting certainly wasn't reflected in its pricetag...
I had an XPL-V from 1985 (so just out of that Norlin era) and that one was rotten to the core too.

I've played other Gibsons too, but never owned those - just the V. And thát was the absolute last Gibson for me 😂
My Chinese knock-off Les Paul is definitely better 🤣🤣🤣🤣
If Clapton fixed fretboards instead of playing them his name would be Shpachuk.
Wow! :)
You can fix my guitar. It a washburne and it 30 year old and the frets are worn down flat in some part of the fretboard. It also amazes me when I clean the guitar down every time i change the strings i always find grit caked onto the fretboard ,I do make sure I play with clean hands,but there a amazing amount of grit that builds up.
I had never seen that done. It does not look easy. Fantastic video.
fantastic job, I'm really impressed! I've watched your video thanks to youtube's feed, nice recommendation!
👍🏻
marvelous work there, also my wife said are your nails painted with magnetic nail polish?
it looked like there was a ton of tear out on that first fret then you removed the glue and WOW lol that was a ton of glue after you leveled it it looked great. where did you get the fret bevel file? or did you make it? and your blue sanding pads ? a video of your shop and what tools you use and where you get them that would be a great video as always great video
I was totally expecting a mistake to be made. Had my anxiety level so high I almost held my breathe until I passed out.
Wow! You don't see that every day. Great work, Tanya!
Thank you!:)
That is just incredibly gorgeous!
Nice work my brother! You didn’t miss a beat!
The frets looked worn-out and you did a great job regretting that beauty.
Really beautiful work.
Thank you!
Very nice job! Well done - I need fret jobs on two of my guitars. What was used - and why - at 7:02?
Hi Tanya
Very well done, I'm a big fan of highly skilled craftsmanship. Quick question, the first step you did with your soldering iron. Was that intended to break the glue bonding? Did you use the soldering paste to better transfer the heat to the fret? Thank you 👍🏼
Heat melts the glue. The water is applied to lubricate the joint as steam.
Just found this video in my feed. Subscribed because of your spectacular work!
Thank you!
This is such a perfect video, not only because it shows the whole step by step in great lighting and cut out all the fat for the video but it shows every single added care that she takes into the process, which add to the cost. Everything here was the highest quality approach. I would trust this woman with not only my favorite and most expensive guitar but with my newborn child 😂
Gibson would be proud of that neck refret.
You have fine skills young lady! Amazing 😮
I was really scared watching this - I thought she would break a nail!
Great work, what a mess that fretboard was.
This was an absolute pleasure to watch. You mam an artist!!
As a guitar player, I was mesmerised by your work here and your skill. Bravo
I've never done a refret. Good work! Very satisfying.
Thank you 😊
Nicely pulled off!!!!!!! No binding on a les paul is like cloth seats in a Cadillac it just doesn’t seem right but beautiful job!!!
Wow!! That was impressive.. it looked horrible when you started . Looks perfect now. I’d love to play one of your re frets. I must say also, there aren’t a lot of young ladies with the knowledge and skill set you have about guitars here in the states. You’ve got my attention. 😉
So very satisfying to watch! Thanks!
Some say no, but I use the Dremel to final polish frets too. Mirror shine.
Beautifully done. A craftsman
This is therapy for me 😂. I love working on guitars. I just started working on them not long ago so I'm nowhere near this good but maybe one day I will be. Nice work👍🏼
I wish you the best of luck! :)
Young lady, what are the steps you are doing before you remove the frets? Fascinating! Again, great work and stay safe!!!
Nice professional work. Great vedio. Is this expensive?
It's crazy how Gibson used to send this type of shit sometimes..
It's litterally months or years of hard work to pay yourself these guitars.
But nice job you did here It's now a great fretboard !
Awesome Tanya🎸🌷《☆》Nice work👍🏾New Friend🔔🧡🤳Greetings from Florida✌😎☮
Hello, thanks)
This is why my 82 custom still need a fret job! I cringe at the thought of possibilities...
You made that look very easy... That is some great wood working skill....
Is this Gibsong a £3,500 effort? I bet the full amount of time spent on this refret was probably about ten times longer than it got at the factory! A fascinating watch. Liked & Subscribed!
Show, don't tell. Fantastic.
great job Tanya!!! do you have vid of refretting 335 neck with binding? thanks
WOW. I'm truly amazed. I was surprised how you tamp the frets at the ends first, but it makes sense to force the outer barbs to grab horizontally by pushing the center down last.

Is that CA glue you're feeding under the frets? Is that CA accelerator you're swabbing afterwards, or just alcohol?
Thank you! I use a 0.5.mm carbide and mill. The glue is CA and then I dissolve it with acetone
Id be really cool to see some before and after picsssss
Interesting that you use a brass or bronze cold chisel to tap down the frets. Seems to work well.
I could watch that all day, really nice job
Майстерно, гарно, професіонально. Прекрасна робота, золоті руки, браво!
