@The Emperor one day i went to the front of my Porsche, opened the hood to check the oil and ... there was no engine . Amazing European enginuity, eh ?
Thanks for this one. I have always wondered how those things work. It's kind of like the day I watched that 20 minute video of a guy cutting open a "Magic 8 Ball" because I had to know what's in there.
I bought one of those necks for my dad three years ago. It was a cheap Chinese made bastard exactly like the one that you showed in this video. Only I painted it surf green to match the body that I built a guitar for him. It didn't sound stellar but it works and the trussrod in it worked too. I bought stuff from China until the Corona Virus came along and now I don't buy anything from them. Either way it works my dad is happy and so am I. I said to myself when I first saw the beginning of this video to remove the fretboard which is exactly what you did. I see that you know what you're doing. Thank you for sharing this with us. Carry on!!
Thanks for sharing. Do you have any video of a comparison between a twisted neck and a not twisted one? From the video, I can not detect the twist. Thanks in advance.
I've been working at guitar teching for live bands over the past 20 years.and I can tell you with 100% accuracy that ever since smartphones were invented and it was easier than sitting down in front of a PC and I could just have my phone on my lap and my guitar and amp and my other hand and amp sitting on the table in the front of me? My playing after 30 years has jumped leaps and bounds as far as quality wise and preciseness and having a better ear for Melody.I think this reins surgeons with all the guitar kids learning to play these days cuz they're cooped up has also reignited that fire I had under my ass when I was 15 and I'm pushing 50."everything music and guitar shenanigans official channel"I leave everything up that I play the drunk stuff the good stuff the sloppy stuff the great stuff the absolutely mind-blowing to me sometimes stuff I can't believe I even pulled off but I definitely suggest giving it a check out and sort the videos from oldest to newest and watch them get better and better.
How about a video on how you determine the wood isn't good on the neck? How do you inspect for twists, bends etc. Is it just visual, do you use measurement tools etc.?
The neck looks a lot like the one that came with a okoume Tele kit I assembled recently. Mine was quite good, no warping and good fret work although the plastic nut was awful (I replaced it).
Great! I just bought 2 truss rods from A. and I was wondering if I made a mistake. Do you take the plastic off before installing? I know you would on a 1 way truss rod, if there was plastic on it. You have answered this issue for a lot of us! Love from NW Colorado. Thanxz
I think not many know about the workings of a 'truss rod'................I took your advice and 'built it myself (Jazzmaster)'.......works/sounds great !
I've ordered quite a few Chinese cheap as chips necks. They're very useful for practicing fret leveling, reshaping, refretting and any operations you would not want to practice on more expensive necks, and a few of them are ok for a home budget build.
I had previously posted a snarky remark about the mating glue bottles in the background but I thought "that's so jr. high" and deleted it ... I, for one, don't find truss rod videos boring, I've always wondered why and how they work and wouldn't mind a "deep dive"... Slightly OT: I have two necks from Goodwill salvaged guitars and the fingerboards look like nice rosewood (but what do I know) and would like to salvage those for future builds. What would be the best way to remove (intact) the fretboards? Use a heat gun to loosen the glue or bandsaw? (Of course I'd be pulling out the frets also)...
I bought one of the cheap Amazon telecaster necks and the mahogany truss rod stripe (aka. skunk stripe) was painted on 🤣 Interesting to see the truss rod itself is functional in this test.
Very cool video. I'm actually surprised that the access hole to adjust the truss rod looks so traditional, and yet they could use the modern style flat truss rod.
Does Texas Toast have a Web Site? I want some details on the Soul Bass. How much is one for instance? What are my options and how much fun can I have with it. Please do a TH-cam video on the soul bass.
I just stumbled over your vid today; nicely presented. I'd never even considered it before, but now I have to ask: would you recommend these necks as what, decent? reasonable acceptable? good bang for buck? solid all-round value? I'd appreciate your feedback...
@Keith Clarkthank you man. Matt reply’s a lot of times. I actually thought he did on this one. I watch a lot of guitar related content just love to see what people are up to.
@@TexasToastGuitars My SISTER would have removed the fretboard with a hot iron and sharp knives. You have all the credibility of one of those house flipping shows where they break the walls out with hammers.
why would you remove the fret board from a warped and unusable neck with a hot knife? Would you want to reuse a cheap fretboard on something good? do you enjoy the slow trip around the barn? Is your time worth nothing?
Cool vid. I've ordered a few necks from China. The wood is really cheap, could be maple, but maybe not, really lightweight and has a plastic feel to it. Neck pocket tenons are way out of tolerance, usually too small. Tuner holes were fine, but metric spec. Surprisingly, the fret work was pretty decent. Some fret sprout, but not in need of leveling. Thanks for doing this guys, interesting.
Those are great truss rods and like the ones I use myself, fender use the most hopeless rods just a single rod which shear the threads off the end. I’m sick of repairing them. I’m unsure if they have changed them but the older ones are crap.
I get my truss rods at Bitterroot too! Perhaps you can call those guys and have them give you a (remote) shop tour? It's possible they are resellers though, which is fine as I can buy a dozen at a time instead of a thousand piece minimum order.
Unfortunately I’ve had to buy some of these necks because of the price for an American made neck but the main problem with them are usually at the headstock because they don’t adjust from the forth fret to the nut but every once in a while (great while) you actually get a good neck and if anyone’s interested in getting one that isn’t the cheapest thing you can get but good for a good price Edenguitars has some really good stuff anyway good luck out there and thanks for the great video dude
Indonesia, Korea, China all make solid body guitars. Each line bounces between manufacturers throughout the four main countries. Squier buys from a manufacturer in China. That neck looks a lot like something you would see on a Squier bullet. Low end neck to start with, and twisted neck makes it a B stock. They show up on eBay and Amazon. Not all are structurally flawed. They’re usable with errors that didn’t pass quality control. I’m currently waiting for a roasted Tele neck from China. Fingers crossed it was just a cosmetic flaw that got it on eBay for $50. You get what you pay for.
I'm an amateur DIY guitar guy (mostly partscasters), and learn as I go. I suppose a decent truss can help make a cheap guitar more playable at least for a while, but then...? Good demo and my kind of channel.
Thanks Matt! I’ve always wanted to see just that. I would like/ watch your 20 minute, low point of a guitar build class video on truss rods. I know this is probably a dumb question, I’ve seen you put a piece of blue tape over the truss rod before you apply the glue to glue on the fretboard, do you remove the tape before you attach the fretboard? I would assume you do, but then I wondered if the glue got on the truss rod would it impede it’s performance. Again, I always learn and am entertained by your posts. Thanks, Steve
@@TexasToastGuitars I think I would listen to it to be very honest. About three years ago I thought truss rods were some sort of magical voodoo. Now I adjust them unabashed! You need to do a video on it I guarantee you I would watch it start to finish and I would stand and applaud you at its’ conclusion!
I guess the fact it cracked the neck is a sign the truss rod is up to the job. That was good to see it in there. Do you think it was deliberately glued in or splooge from the fretboard getting in there?
wow, if the neck was made with some better (stronger) wood, it would be a nice neck!! They got the truss rod right just used the wrong damn wood! Lol... As always great video guys, thanks!! 🎸🎸👍
Greetings from Fort Lupton, fellas. Pretty cool what y'all did there. It's nice to see a truss rod in action on both sides. And you can still reuse the neck!😂😂😂
Would it come apart if your steamed it with like a cloths iron heat brakes glues seal or would it be a major pain that way idk you channel looks awesome I’m subscribing
The fret board certainly could have been removed more cleanly, however there was never any intention of using this neck since it was a knock-off, had a big twist and was 39 dollars. I really just wanted to see the truss rod. Speed was what was required... not finesse
Different does not make it worse. It looks ok. I have bought a few Amazon necks and they work just fine. At 30 dollars they work well for your own builds builds. I had one that twisted but it was my fault. It was in a hot then cold then hot car for over a year. I forgot it was there lol.
Hi guys. Here's an idea for a video. Take an old Kay guitar (60's ish) , remove the neck, remove the fret board and replace the old steel bar with a truss rod!
If i was going to build a Tele neck from scratch how would i know what would be a good piece of hardrock maple??? Like say im at Lowes and im looking at top notch maple, ok... So what do i look at? How would i actually pick the strongest most solid piece of maple?? Cheers!! Have great day! Vern 👋
Its go to know the ShartCaster will have a somewhat decent truss rod. The body is great, but the neck, I think, came from a Chinese Amazon kit. I cant remember to be honest. My son will have fun banging it around anyhow lol
One of the most ubiquitous Chinese manufacturers, Kmise, consistently make their neck heels about 3mm too high. I've written to their customer support and described in detail why that is a bad idea, suggesting they should adapt to Fender standard neck heel height etc. Not sure if it will help.
Amazon doesn't deal with lots of sellers, amazon is just offering their platform to sellers, they have no clue what kind of shit they're selling. Tons of scammers on amazon, especially in electronics.
I honestly believe most of the typical suppliers are resellers of Chinese guitar parts and likewise a lot of North American guitar companies bolt on a lot of Chinese parts. I see too many similarities in a lot of the better castings and designs on places like Amazon.
You have a lot of nice tools, but you are using a screwdriver instead of a chisel, or other tool. My dad would have kicked my ass, if I used a screwdriver like that. He'd always say, there is the right tool for the right job. LOL. That was interesting, I have never seen a bare truss rod in a neck like that. Thank you.
I would never speak ill of your father. I can tell you this much... if anyone used one of my sharpened chisels for the same thing I used an old crappy flat head for I'd stomp a mud hole in their ass.
1970s Gibson LPs had plywood bodies , but they marketed them as ''pancake'' bodies to those who do not understand the meaning of 'plywood' . Gibson began boring holes in all their Les Pauls in 1983 even some custom shitshop LPs have holes .
If you over tightened to a point of neck fracture ,then the truss rod was good enough .
