The Best Material in Guitar Building| Bone Frets

This video was not that easy for me, I think I made more than a dozen final versions, several times, KZfaq turned off monetization, but still, I can finally share my strange idea with you.
If a metal nut is placed on guitars to make the sound of open and pressed strings uniform, how about doing the opposite and putting bone frets?
In addition, even in the 19th century, bone frets were widely used on stringed instruments, until at the beginning of the 20th they were replaced by the usual metal frets.
Also, I was interested in how to work with them, how long they will serve, how they feel in my hands. So I gathered my strength and did what I did with the old guitar
I'm sharing the result of my work with you.
Would you put it on your guitar?
Special thanks for the provided pickup

When I was on someone’s live stream being interviewed a few years back, they asked me what I would like to try on a guitar (I play mainly acoustic). My response was, “all bone frets”...which I had NEVER seen, or heard of before in my life. I figured it could be done, but could find no one will to build it for me. This is an electric guitar, so a little different, but still very cool. Peace. 🐰💙🇺🇸🎸🎶🤝✌️

Until the late 19th century, most treble strings were made of gut, and bass strings were made of silk overspun with wire, often silver plated. This is similar to today's classical guitar strings. Right? Bone frets would have been reasonable before the advent of ubiquitous metal strings. I'd love to see a report on the longevity of bone frets and steel strings, especially on acoustic guitars. Great work. It makes me consider putting bone frets on my next classical. Thanks!

@@mr.k1t I like the idea very much. It would be awesome to have audio comparison of the guitar with the different frets. I can definitely see it as a guitar to have in your arsenal just for the sound and/or feel. Probably not as your everyday workhorse guitar because the frets will wear out faster, if you believe in laws of physics. 20 minutes of play time a day these will probably last years and years. Thinking about it, on an acoustic guitar with nylon (or gut) strings these frets might be what you want... Also, what an interesting guitar (and pickups).

Frets do very very little in changing the sound. When choosing things like the neck, all that matters is how it feels.

@yargnad Жыл бұрын

@@dandogamez Tell that to everyone who has ever commented that stainless frets make all the difference in the world and conversely those who comment that stainless frets ruin the sound/only nickel steel will suffice. My main concern is that bone will not hold up to steel strings and bending so well. Probably need to refret often. And the materials do matter in terms of longevity and durability. For example, birds eye and flamed maple necks usually feel great since they're premium materials and a lot more effort goes into the workmanship of the guitars which have them, but those woods, unless roasted are far more susceptible to warping and need to be replaced more often than two piece necks, which are more laterally stabilized.

@dandogamez Жыл бұрын

@@yargnad kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pJZip6yeyMuXcXk.html&ab_channel=JimLill This video shows it all. For solid body electric guitars, the sound is almost independently caused by the pickup and electronics, the distance from the pickups to the strings, the strings, the scale size, and the player. When choosing a neck it's honestly most important that it's comfortable for the player.

@yargnad Жыл бұрын

@@dandogamez I build guitars so your argument is nothing new to me. These sort of videos are not controlled scientific analysis so it doesn't really mean much. I can clearly hear the difference with stainless steel frets, they have a slight pingy sound on the attack. Plus at the density of the wood makes a difference so you would not get the same sort of sound from balsa wood as you would from maple. Nearly any material of similar density would give similar results. There's definitely more to the sound than just pickups and scale length. I have an acrylic strat that sustains for days, and sustain definitely changes the tonality of any guitar. The pickups are only part of that equation.

The guitar maker Martin used to fret their guitars with what are now called "bar frets" in a similar fashion. They were made of small metal bar stock, I played a 1928 Martin with bar frets and while they felt different, I adapted quickly and didn't notice after a while. I imagine bone frets would last quite a long time as well, interesting idea. Well done, although all of the exposed saw blades in the shop were a bit concerning, too much opportunity for finger damage.

Congratulations on spending hundreds of hours to make a guitar where your strings will wear down your frets in a matter of months. I am seriously impressed with your dedication to pulling off this terrible idea. You have done this horrible thing in an extremely professional way, and that deserves some credit.

Bone is easily brittle. Guitar wire will cut through when playing. Wear it down too fast

Bone is a fairly hard material, we will observe wear, it’s most interesting for me

Thank you! If there are metal nuts, there must also be bone frets😉

Lol. That sigh at 3:50. I would feel the same way haha. I do what you do as well and I know how much of labor of love this was. Also, this better not go viral cause I’m not doin this. The cost of regretting is about to skyrocket.😂. Great job.
