The most extensive work that you’ve shared. There’s something so interesting about no dialogue while watching a craftsman at work. Great job, young lady! Stay safe and God bless!!!
Сколько труда в одном видео - просто огого!!! Даже не думал. что так тяжело будет до анкера добраться, чтобы его заменить. Отличная работа и результат.
Love your vids. Funny, at 24:24 you say "hugs for who is still watching". I don't think I've blinked in 24-minutes. Great work, thank for sharing and please continue sharing.
Great video! Began to watch then couldn’t stop watching. I love the use of domestic iron to heat the glue under the fretboard. No need for steamhole under 12th fret. Patience is everything. Thanks Tanya and good luck for you and the future of your country.
My heart almost stopped beating watching you removing the last part of the fretboard with a knife. Wow. Really tough repair. Thanks for sharing, as always!
You are a True Luthier. Watching your work puts me in a trance and I feel at peace. You don't cut any corners like using power drills on taking things apart. Even putting on strings no power drill. I love watching your videos and I am a huge fan of what you do. I wish I had your skills and youth. When I do a simple fret leveling and polishing the frets my hands get calist and cut and bleed. All by hand for 6 or 7 hours I am hurting and exhausted. Arm and hands are fatigued and sore. I'm 57 years old and have Arthritis. Watching you work I am jealous. You are very special and talented. My name is Gary and I am watching your TH-cam channel on my Mother's log in on TH-cam and I am not Elizabeth by the way. You make me happy to learn and watch. 😊😊😊😊😊 Stay Strong and keep up the perfect work you are doing.
If you worked out, the arthritis can be dealt eith. At first, it hurts like heck but eventually, the body surrenders. Its a strange phenomenon but I've done it. Cheers!
Watch your work with interest Tanya... I am mostly a metal worker in New Zealand, a gun smith actually, but that also means woodwork on gun stocks and I find watching you work is informative and gives me ideas for some of the repairs I occasionally have to do on the stocks of guns that come to me. I can only hope that the troubles in your country are resolved soon and that you can all live in peace. Blessings. 💗
Tricky Truss rod Repair?!? That is the most involved truss rod repair I've ever seen! As always, your skill and patience to do the job the right way is impressive, and I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing and stay safe. Enjoy the coffee 😉
she's a woman doing a mostly male job n with mostly male customers, ofc they'll come here to judge and type their useless 0 skill opinions. she's great!
My goodness, that was a mountain of work. Couldn't believe how difficult it was to remove the old truss rod. Thanks, as always, for showing us Tanya, and thanks for the hug at the halfway point.
@@TanyaShpachukI know this is an older post but curious if you could have used the router and jig to remove the original wood above the truss rod instead of the drill and chisel? So glad I found your channel. Amazing work.
@@scottswanson6085 Thanks so much for checking out my channel! Glad you're enjoying it. And, yeah, I’m definitely not a fan of accidentally routing into the metal-that’s one thing I try to avoid at all costs! As for using the router and jig to remove the wood above the truss rod, it could be done, but it’s a bit risky for that part. The drill and chisel give me more control in those tighter areas. Great question, though!
Halfway through this I'm thinking...there's no way she's going to bring this thing back to original condition and then slowly but surely it transformed from a worm into a butterfly. Blew me away the artistry this person performed on this bass. Your work is amazing and the attention to detail is second to none. I wish you were within reach so I could get my 30 year old Thunderbird in your capable hands.
Hello from West Texas. I am very glad to have found your site. I enjoy the quiet time, watching your skillful work, and attention to detail. I think these instruments are better than new when you finish.
I love your work. I really enjoy watching how you do different techniques on your repair jobs. I started studying guitar about 5 years ago. I have taken many online lessons and still don't have a through knowledge that I feel I should have. I am 68 years old and have arthritis in my finger joints. I have built many "parts casters", they call them here in the US. I can buys all the parts I need and assemble them. I have learned to set them up for optimal play sounds. Keep up the beautiful work. Gerry
Good job Tania! A pleasure watching you work. While my wife was watching boring tv I enjoyed all 47 minutes of truss rod fun on the sofa by her side. So, as far as I'm concerned, the longer the video the better. Peace, Tony
You do such painstakingly excellent repair work Tanya. Some of the damage you restored to near original condition boggles my mind. Very good, thanks for sharing your daily job with us. 🇺🇦 Salva Ukraine. Stay safe!
A few years ago I had to send one of my basses to have this same thing done and I learned how much work it takes to do it, congratulations!...incredible work
Whew! The Thunderbird is a big instrument to wrestle with. And a much harder job the neck being non-detachable. Well done! I was glad you were able to save the original fretboard. Very nice work!
Excellent work Tanya, Ive watched some of your video's before, but this one persuaded me to subscribe. Watching your work ethic is quite inspiring. I hope that you continue to great success, you deserve it.
I have watched about a dozen of Tanya's videos and this woman has mad skills. The more I watch, the more impressed I am. She could easily be making her own instruments and they would be awesome.
Your knowledge and skill are amazing Tanya! Your work ethic is even more impressive to me. It was fun hearing your voice a few times in the video too (very cute)! ASMR is good for the soul.
Oh thunder bird fly ❤ that's a bucket list model for me. This video is fantastic...I've always been afraid to tackle or even approach trust rod's. Just incase I ruin the feel of one of my guitars.
Adjustin' the truss rod could make the feel of the guitar a lot better or totally ruined it.. same with nut height.. frettin' and saddle bridge adjustment! Get a good balance between those parts requires a bunch of knowledge and experience! But It totally worth the effort
I was not understanding that you were re-routing the truss rod channel until you got the curved jig out. What an incredibly involved repair. Drilling that headstock hole was a bit nerve wracking 😂 I’ve been tinkering and working on guitars for almost 40 years, I don’t have half your skill or knowledge. You’re really inspiring, and I’m learning a lot from you. Thanks!
I spent all day today removing an epoxied Richlite fretboard from a neck. Watched this video to relax 😂. It brought me comfort that I'm not the only one dealing with frustrating repairs 🤘

@@Relayer6a it would not turn, unable to adjust it. At the 11:00 minute mark you can see there some material stuck all along the rod. The way she redoes the channel is masterful. Setting a new bed. What a fantastic job.
@@monrominee The maple strip is glued in, but those truss rods aren't. I'm not sure what year bass this is but that's a "historic" truss rod which couldn't be glued in and still work.
@@Relayer6a of course the ROD isn't glued, but it is encased in a manner that makes it a real bitch to service and is an inferior design hence my initial comment
Friend: Hey Tanya, are you going to the gym today? Tanya: No I have a truss rod removal and replacement on a Gibson Thunderbird bass to do today. Same workout as wrestling AND powerlifting.
You are a very skilled luthier. I watch a lot of luthier video's on TH-cam and I would probably only trust 3 of them to repair my guitars. You are one of them. And my daughter would love your nails 😊
You are incredible... I learn and get a lot of inspiration from your videos... Soon I intend to share some of the renovations I do and be able to help people in the same way you have helped me.
Bravo! I usually watch your videos to fall asleep but this one had me watching till the end. Thanks for making this video and I wish nothing but the best for you and your loved ones! Oh and great work of course 😊
I always thought a wooden hand screw type clamp (for woodworking) screwed to a plywood base would make an excellent guitar holder because of the surface area. Cool video, thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Tanya, I don’t know what it is that makes you and your work so alluring and mesmerizing, but this particular job was unbelievable. Must’ve taken quite some time as we watched you go through 3 different nail finishes too. Wish you were in the states, I’d gladly send you guitars to help.
That's absolutely brilliant!! Such an ART of it's own, BRAVO!! BRAVO 🙌👏👏👏👏 just pure passion as writing music in feel!! Great work indeed 🎉 so inspiring
Wow I have watched this video at least 4x. I'm very impressed how amazing she is . This gibson looks better then it came off the line at gibson. Fantastic work ! Wish I had a very skilled tech like her working on my bass's. After 32 years of playing. It's not easy finding a great tech like you. Thank you for this video.
Very nice ! All that hard work and no one can even tell you was ever in the true mark of a professional 🤫 I couldn’t help but think of my little david razer plane when you was cutting the top of the truss rod cover down, would just be the perfect tool, Worth having in the tool kit! 😊
Hi Tanya, I loved the tool improvisation whilst you were removing the neck and the truss rod. It looks so pristine when everything's finished. Remarkable job. I am one of the OCD ones who watched the whole video! On the side note at 46:59 you looked like you were having a smokey fart which woke up the 33 year old child in me and I laughed out. Love the videos!
That little "YAY!" you let out when you got the fretboard moving up and off was delightful to hear! This was an impressive feat of work in this video and you made that bass look good as new afterwards, which makes it even more impressive. Great work, Miss Tanya! Той маленький "так!" Ви випускаєте, коли ви дістали дошку, що рухається вгору і вимкнено, було приємно почути! Це був вражаючий подвиг роботи у цьому відео, і ви зробили цей бас виглядати добре як нове, що робить його ще більш вражаючим. Чудова робота, міс Таня!
Well, I'm half way through, and I have to go to bed. I'll tune in again tomorrow to find out what happens in the end! This is a real epic job, and you're doing fantastically so far. I love the attention to detail of putting in a whole new strip of wood just so you could route it out again! (And don't worry about the idiot scammers - you're not the only channel they "live" on. I just ignore them.)
those vintage style basses are great to play but they are a hell of conception...one piece neck through, it will obviously bend one day and either you throw it away or you have to find someone to struggle like you did here so nicely. I have seen so mutch bass guitars unplayablefor that reason that it was a special pleaure to watch this. well done ! it's always great to see your work
That was certainly a herculean task. I was exhausted while watching. I was also erminded of my old days having a few hours to finish such a project. As always, the work was first rate. I hope you at least told the owner of this instrument that refinishing might have to be performed once the fingerboard is replaced. I just want you to be compensated for the intensive labor that is always a hazard when removing a truss rod, and then modifying a replacement. I'm happy to see you have steady business in 2024. It was a joy to watch. Glory To Ukraine!
I just found your channel! I absolutely LOVE learning how to be a luthier, or "stringed-instrument repair person" (since i probably won't be building any from scratch). I love learning from you, Tanya. I can't believe that truss rod was glued in that way. Seems like it would defeat rhe purpose. Maybe whomever at the Gibson factory thought its only purpose was to "stiffen" the neck, lol. Anyway, good job! Thanks for posting the videos! 24:33 i see how you drilled the hole through the cut for the fret wire, so you could glue the fretboard back in the exact position. I would've thought you'd do this before ever removing the ftretboard. I'm confused by a couple of things that seem out of sequence: Ok, i watched you remove the old truss rod, then you routed out the groove. Why I'm confused is, why did you glue a piece of wood in the groove, shave it down flat with the surface, including scraping it, then proceed to route it out again? After that, the sequence seemed to be correct, where you put in a new truss rod, glued a piece of wood in the groove over it, then filed, chiseled, shaved, scraped and sanded it down flush before gluing the fretboard back. Could you either narrate in future, or put text in to explain in future? Thank you!
The variation and assortment of tools needed for this professional is job is amazing, a labor of love for an instrument . I have a vintage Gretsch acoustic ,; after watching this I guess replacing the truss rod on it which is maxed out and broken is out of the question for what it would cost to have it done.
Scary memory. 24.00 reminds me of when i built my neck-thru guitar. I used a small nail to locate the fretboard on the neck. When i rasped out the neck radius i had uncovered the hole from the nail. Nothing a toothpick cant fix. Nice work btw!
The most extensive work that you’ve shared. There’s something so interesting about no dialogue while watching a craftsman at work. Great job, young lady! Stay safe and God bless!!!
She knows what she's doing, massive job and well done.
Сколько труда в одном видео - просто огого!!! Даже не думал. что так тяжело будет до анкера добраться, чтобы его заменить. Отличная работа и результат.
I even doubt this bass left the factory as nice as you have made it here. Amazing work Tanya!
Love your vids. Funny, at 24:24 you say "hugs for who is still watching". I don't think I've blinked in 24-minutes. Great work, thank for sharing and please continue sharing.
The way you blended the finish between the neck and fretboard was fantastic. Looks better than factory. Pretty cool.
Tanya: My latest hero. If I used a rotary buffer on My car, I'd get "swirls". How does this not happen to the guitar's body?
Great video! Began to watch then couldn’t stop watching. I love the use of domestic iron to heat the glue under the fretboard. No need for steamhole under 12th fret. Patience is everything. Thanks Tanya and good luck for you and the future of your country.
Steamhole at 12th fret is to remove an acoustic guitar neck for a reset. It is intended to free up a dovetail joint.
at the end of each video it would be nice to hear the instrument playing and see the happy face of the customer. Good work.
My heart almost stopped beating watching you removing the last part of the fretboard with a knife. Wow. Really tough repair. Thanks for sharing, as always!

I hope you at least told the owner of this instrument that refinishing might have to be performed once the fingerboard is replaced. I just want you to be compensated for the intensive labor that is always a hazard when removing a truss rod, and then modifying a replacement. I'm happy to see you have steady business in 2024. It was a joy to watch. Glory To Ukraine!
Thank you so mush!
I just found your channel!
I absolutely LOVE learning how to be a luthier, or "stringed-instrument repair person" (since i probably won't be building any from scratch).
I love learning from you, Tanya.
I can't believe that truss rod was glued in that way. Seems like it would defeat rhe purpose.
Maybe whomever at the Gibson factory thought its only purpose was to "stiffen" the neck, lol.
Anyway, good job!
Thanks for posting the videos!
24:33 i see how you drilled the hole through the cut for the fret wire, so you could glue the fretboard back in the exact position. I would've thought you'd do this before ever removing the ftretboard.
I'm confused by a couple of things that seem out of sequence:
Ok, i watched you remove the old truss rod, then you routed out the groove. Why I'm confused is, why did you glue a piece of wood in the groove, shave it down flat with the surface, including scraping it, then proceed to route it out again?
After that, the sequence seemed to be correct, where you put in a new truss rod, glued a piece of wood in the groove over it, then filed, chiseled, shaved, scraped and sanded it down flush before gluing the fretboard back.
Could you either narrate in future, or put text in to explain in future?
Thank you!
The variation and assortment of tools needed for this professional is job is amazing, a labor of love for an instrument . I have a vintage Gretsch acoustic ,; after watching this I guess replacing the truss rod on it which is maxed out and broken is out of the question for what it would cost to have it done.
Scary memory. 24.00 reminds me of when i built my neck-thru guitar. I used a small nail to locate the fretboard on the neck. When i rasped out the neck radius i had uncovered the hole from the nail. Nothing a toothpick cant fix. Nice work btw!
