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!!! 😢

@@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.

laymen luthier here, I agree - Tanya is that epxid you apply sparingly after setting in the frets and wipe it down with ethanol? I use epoxid and acetone/ethanol building fishing rods (winding, guides). BTW, it`s so soothing watching this work, no talk. Thank you!

@@christophklein4554 Yes that is epoxide.

Thank you! )

I was just thinking the same thing. There was a time for me where I would have but not these days.

Agreed, I don’t have the balls to do that lol

I noticed the same. Agreed

@@TanyaShpachuk have a few questions, why the brass fret end setting tool to hammer the frets in rather than just using the brass faced hammer? Was it not possible to use a fret slot cleaning saw or as unbound board a fret saw to clean the slots, I agree with everyone else I wish my hands were that steady but due to the medication I have to take it makes my hands have a slight tremor. Last question was that some kind of abrasive foam you used when sanding the frets or some foam with wet and dry paper underneath? I must say, there’s not many I’ve watched do it how I was taught with the 3 cornered file to bevel the tops of the slots for the benefit of the next refret. You did a fantastic job. Love to know what on earth the last person glued those frets in. It kinda looked like the gorrilla glue the expands with water. You really did a sterling job

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.🇦🇷👍

Thank you :)

Amen!😀😊😇🥰😍🤩🥲😋💯👍💪🙏

Thank you!:)

@Streetshitter They have a war in their country, the girl is not hiding in a bomb shelter, she works and someone needs her work. A qualification is experience and knowledge. The more work, the more experience.

​@Streetshitter that's simply untrue. Being a luthier is more than re-fretting and string changes.

Lol... guitar setup isn't easy

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.

Best way to do it is on every throw away guitar ive ever had, I’d rip the frets out, throw the guitar in the Street and make the repairs. 😊

Thank you!🫶 It’s just the beginning

@@TanyaShpachuk awesome, that's what I like to hear. 🎸⚒️👩🏽‍🔧🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

I'm cringing on how all these old ass Gibsons keep popping up in my feed when I hate Gibson. Lol. There needs to be a Gibson filter.. dude if someone gave me that guitar I would burn it.

It’s considered an American Icon like Martin guitars show respect even if you don’t like it! If you had any idea how hard it was back in 70s even 80s for musicians to get a Gibson back then in eastern block countries… almost hardly very rare instances. They love our guitars…. Yes our designs have improved Paul Reed Smith and the amazing Parker Fly Deluxe Parker Fly Mojo Ken Parker redesigned the guitar even his acoustics too bad Washburn bought them what a shame… those two names resonate change and progress to me… I love acoustics the most Martins, I apologize coming off strong but we so very blessed living here, yes we’re going through some rough patches but it will ok there’s going to big change and we’ll be back to normal because we are “We the People “…

@@emilychristoff9404 Oh no; I was meaning NO disrespect to such a well built guitar! I was saying how sad/terrible the condition of the fingerboard was! I spent a year repairing an Ibenez electric for my friend (painting, shielding, new pots, new wires) before it needed to get further treatment from the local Luther. You did a great job repairing this fingerboard I must say!!😁

​@@Beautiful_Evil I might argue that a three grand guitar should NOT have quality control issues. Ok, so Gibson, Fender, PRS and other high end guitars have to be high price and high margin for both the company and the retailer not just because they want to be seen as a "Premium" brand but because their instruments can sit on a shop wall for months, if not years. But custom shop work aside, they aren't all that hand labour intensive. Secondly, I've read Gibson neither pay well or treat their production staff well so there's a high turnover, which will compound the QC due to a) people not knowing when tooling needs replacing and the qwirks of certain machinery, and b) simply not giving a shit because the pay is poor and the management are abusive. American made guitars used to be something to aspire to, they used to have a mystique to them. But in the age of information the idea of your American instrument somehow magically having "better woods" and being carefully crafted by highly skilled luthiers can easily be dispelled and the customer should demand better. I'm personally not interested in a brand's legacy, I want a guitar that (IMHO) looks cool, has a feel to it that I like and doesn't have any production flaws that compromise the esthetics or playability. In the age of CNC machining and China rapidly catching up with the West in every area of manufacturing, companies such as Gibson and Fender really ought to be taking that extra step to provide the experience that potential buyers of high end US made instruments want for their money.

​@@Beautiful_Evilgo play your PRS

Dont forget training and experience-

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.

The side of the fretboard on non most non bound rosewood gibsons is lacquered so there’s still a risk of damage, but nitro touch ins blend in well so it wouldn’t be a huge deal.

@@Jonathan_Doe_ Yes, I would probably tape off the sides along the board just in case of a slip. Using low tack painters tape I have - so far - not had any issues with nitro peeling off, plus clean any sticky residue off immediately afterwards just to be sure. I get why folks love nitro but I'm quite happy with the modern poiy finishes as they are more resilient.

​@@martin-1965 Nitro has to be applied in thin coats due to it's longer curing time than more modern paints. I've long argued that a poly finished guitar can be every bit as resonant as a nitro finished instrument as long as the paint/clear coat is applied thinly. Poly gets its rep due to the wood being utterly smothered in thick plastic. At the end of the day, once a valve amp is cranked up to the point of compression and distortion then you're not really going to notice any difference!

@@martin-1965.. I “samd” the back of any poly necks that I use .. but to each their own,ay..?

I take 00 steel wool to the backs of all of my Fenders. The gloss is pretty, but your hand slides faster when it's gone.

Thank you, so much!

Thank you :))

Дякую :)

That was good 👍

Let’s have a look at your luthier work, then?

Pft… Know-nothing KZfaq commenter. Typical.

@@artysanmobile great argument 👍🏻
