After years of neglect entropy takes its toll and this Thrash Metaller's guitar has fallen into disrepair. Can Colin scrape off the gunk, remove the corrosion, and get it back to a playable condition?

@gitsurfer27 3 жыл бұрын

@RedKing Its the best thing to use because it instantly dissolves and takes grime with it, it doesn't sit on the wood long enough to cause any damage. What does damage a fretboard is grime and dirt, and the acids in our sweat. I never said lemon oil was acidic, that's not why its bad. Its bad because long term use can actually dry out the wood. Guitars are designed so further oiling isn't necessary, but cleaning very much is and what else are you gonna clean it with, water? Lemon oil? Oils don't clean, they add a further surface layer that can gunk up and collect more grime.

@elkayezs8wslkwaterfountain826 3 жыл бұрын

@@gitsurfer27 last i checked guitarists i know who have maintained their 60s fenders they bought new use lemon oil and theyre still in perfect shape. not sure where your info is from. but according to basic chemistry you are incorrect. as the solvents not only lift away dirt and debris. but also break down the molecules that build the fretboard. lemon oil and other wood lubricants keep those molecules stuck together and stretchy which in turn keeps the wood in good shape for a very long time with routine maintainence.

When taping off a fretboard, run a double thick length of tape down the side of the fretboard for it's entire length. Then let each piece of tape going across the fretboard lay over the tape running down the length of the neck's side. This way you can pull the one piece of tape from the side of the neck and thereby lift all of the short pieces of tape off in one pull, rather than having to pull each little piece from each fret.

The corrosion boiled off the bridge pretty quick too. I guess you would maybe call that electrolysis or reverse electrolysis, I don’t know but it was really cool and did an excellent job of removing corrosion. I don’t remember if the battery was a large 9 volt or a 12 volt.

Before reshaping he puts a layer of ink on the frets that will wear off as he files. It shows him where he has filed and where he hasn’t. He only wants to shape the sides of the frets, not file them down any lower than he already has. Only the ink on the edges should wear off while filing the sides into shape. If there is only a thin line of ink left on top of the frets, that means he successfully filed and shaped the sides without filing them down any lower. I hope that helps.

I rarely use Lemon oil these days. linseed oil is perfectly suitable for fretboards and its not petroleum based like lemon oil (which is why I dont use it). I did once use baby oil and coconut oil. that worked fine as well.

@dicecard921 3 жыл бұрын

Is the lemon oil being petroleum based a bad thing for the guitars, or just an ecology thing?

i love that you did the ph test on the different things, it even shows water to be a slight base, and a base can sometimes be just as corrosive as an acid, i would love to see a ph test of sweat, i wonder if that's acidic or so? i have some ph strips, so im going to check that out, thanks man, real good video, appreciate your time.

@karterdowd606 2 жыл бұрын

If I remember correctly I believe sweat has a Ph of about 6.5 give or take. Mines really acidic I corroded through a poly finish on my guitar neck in about a year

@KaptainCanuck 2 жыл бұрын

Sweat from hands can etch any metal and that is why if you touch the blade of any great sword, katana especially, you chance disassociation of head and neck. Even electronics such as circuit boards, their components, as I see all the time, computer parts. should not be touched by bare hands.

If you pull up the safety data sheet in the Dunlop “lemon” oil, you’ll see it’s actually scented mineral oil. Actual lemon oil would destroy a fret board.

Nice tutorial. One hint, after 100s of fretjobs that I did, I can say that masking tape usually dries out the fretboard, even if it had been treated right before the application of the tape. For this reason, I always apply some more Dunlop 01 and 02 as a final touch before stringing up the guitar. 01 for cleaning and 02 for protection. I found out that 65 lemon oil is closer to 01 actually, so I always finish the job with 02.
