      The solder will distribute the heat along the fret wire well. Alternatively you can use a iron or if you have the possibilities like Ted Woodford th-cam.com/video/gDqh5WHri3o/w-d-xo.html at 9:16 (I can highly recommend his channel) but I can imagine that the guys in Ukraine are at the moment somewhat restricted in their possibilities

      @@mr.k1t I’m glad you announced action at the 12th fret. 2.5mm is very nice height for a Nylon string guitar, you need at least this height on a nylon strung guitar. Many new ones that I have examined are at least 3mm at 12th fret for low ‘E’.
      I purchased a Yamaha nylon silent guitar recently and the high ‘e’ was 2.5mm and the low ‘E’ was ‘3.75mm at 12th fret. Good work and thank you for sharing. Very high standard of work.
      I cannot understand why some people have to criticise a posting when not fully understanding the difference between a steel string action and a nylon string action. I have set up many guitars and your choice of action at the 12th fret for this nylon strung guitar is just about perfect for most players.

Firstly, its vapors that spread around, secondly, the remnants of them that condense on the lining, and this in this case cannot be avoided, thirdly, the use of this solder complicates the technological process. There is an alternative to using solder . What is this? ... That's right, water. Well, the use of ordinary water in this case is not worse, as for extracting frets from the fretboard , of course, if it is done correctly Can 't you think of a simpler one ? See how a professional luthier does it , I 'll leave the link below .

      А по поводу радиуса на классике, это скорее вкусовщина, все плоские грифа на классиках, рано или поздно, превращаются в грифа с отрицательным радиусом, а легкий радиус(тут он 20, а это почти плоский) это мое личное виденье такой классической гитары

    Looks like the top is a laminated pinewood.....worth saving the guitar????. On the other hand refretting technique is fine. I assume the bridge bone was also renewed... and thats a good point to set string height..... Aesthetic result is obviously ok, but is the guitar intonated and free from noises?.

    Your scale length starts at your FIRST metallic (zero) fret. I see that your strings do not touch this fret, that is they touch the nut. You will soon find that this guitar cannot be tuned. Open strings have the nut for zero fret, fretted ones have the first fret for zero. Detach the nut and file down the grooves to make the strings rest on the first fret. If I see the things wrong I apologize. I like your work.

      Можно очень низко, зависит от вашего звукоизвлечение, в классической школе, принято ставить достаточно высоко струны, для большей динамики (2.5мм на 6й струне над 12м ладом) для личного комфорта, при условии ровных ладов и грифа, можно поставить 1.2 мм на 6й. Будет удобно, но за счёт потери динамики.

    I'm not a luthier, I reactivate guitars as best I can. On yours, I would have paid more attention to those tuner machines. If they're too loose, I just replace them with new ones of high quality. On a guitar the age of your Hofner, those tuners rarely got any lubrication or cleaning. If I am restoring, I like the metal parts to be free of rust and tarnishing, not ignoring the neck, frets, bridge, etc.

      Thank you for your comment. Surprisingly to me, these are one of the most comfortable and workable tuners. They have very smooth lift and nice gear ratio. And I don't want to get rid of them.

      @@mr.k1t Cultural industrial bias causes me to think the tuners are of German manufacture, which is probably the reason they are as you describe. I have three Spanish made classical guitars, and their tuners work exceptionally well, though they're probably no older than 20-25 years. I have found through experience that buying tuners on the web can be a crap shoot. Price is not a guarantor of quality. I was able to find a new set for about $18, plus shipping, that are of reasonable quality. Conversely, I bought a set for about $36 that were actually worse than the ones I was trying to replace. The seller was puzzled about my returning them for a refund

    I prefered the wood nut. It's got a zero fret so why not?

    It is a lap steel guitar.. I had the same identical guitar and I can assure you about it... It has a steel nut that fits over 0 fret.
    Also if you will notice.. the tuners have a metal central rod which is designed for steel strings..
    It is an all laminate guitar but with ladder bracing..
    Nylon strings will not be able to move the top so much and will give less volume and tone...
    Great restoration though...

      Sorry, Bibek, because of that bridge style, this guitar was originally made for gut strings. So nylon would now be the only choice. The tension of steel strings would ruin that guitar in a very short time. I have seen that happen too many times with guitars like this.

    I don't think it was worth it in the end. The string position is much too high and such guitars were back then sold in bulk for 40 bucks a piece.

    You call that a restoration?! Stay away from my guitars! That action is astoundingly high - too high to be playable.

    • @mr.k1t
      @mr.k1t  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Action strings is subjective, on nylon string guitars I prefer to keep it a little higher around 2.5 mm

    WHY NYLON STRINGS????WRONG This is a parlor and not a classic guitar..........Even the keys are metalic for metall.

    • @mr.k1t
      @mr.k1t  ปีที่แล้ว

      No truss rod here.
      bridge typical of the classic.
      in the catalogs of those years, this guitar was listed as a "classical guitar"
