When I was in DC and they proved hoe George Washington chopped down that cherry Les Paul Junior, I was like . . . maybe dome of the facts are not all there but it must have been great anyways. He prolly used Glu-Boost.

Nice video and great tips. I never would have thought to use Shellac on a repair like this. I would have tried Glue Boost or lacquer and spent days trying to make it look new.

Nice work! I remember seeing new Guild D25 guitars in the shops in the past, they were nice sounding bargain priced USA built guitars. The ones I came across were the mahogany models which were labelled “D25M”.

Had to research this to see if it was really a factory finish, sure enough it was. Apparently rare and only '82. And on some Guild forums, deemed quite ugly. To each his own.

I was dealing with exact the same trouble. I understand from your point of view working on the wood side to get the space filled. How about a thin wrap of sheet copper around the bushing side? Or am I cursing in the church now? (it's a hack I used to practice when I worked as a bicycle mechanic ; ))

Just got my x3 mini pro and the E string has a 40% lower volume than all the rest when plugged in. I've reached out to Enya 5 times and gotten nothing from customer service. Based on that I don't recommend this guitar. I like it overall but with useless customer service it's not a winner.

Hi there, roughly what do you charge for a job like this? My friend has an Epiphone Sheraton that needs a neck reset. His tech wouldn’t do it, saying that the guitar wasn’t worth the amount of work it would take.

Great repair first of all...just something I was thinking was would it not be easier to add some aniline dye ( cherry) to the raw wood before the fill and finish? Only saying this as it would then only take one coat of the tinted shellac...

It gets too dark too fast by adding stain to raw wood. No do overs that way either. I can wipe this shellac off in a few seconds and have multiple do overs 🎉

Hi Scotty Thanks for the deep insight. I own exactly this Model from 1966 and have similar problems with the sjrinking of the binding. Was wondering if one can solve the problem. Can you say something about this issue. I would really appreciate it. Another question that I have is, where do I get an original metal pickup toggle switch head. Many greetings from Switzerland and thanks again for your valuable videos. Best, Marion
@harpethguitar11 күн бұрын
Thanks! I was too afraid of damaging the lacquer to try it but I normally warm the binding with a hair dryer, add titebond III, tape it down and heat it a little more. For the switch tip, search “switch tip” on the web!

@@harpethguitar Hey Scott, thanks for your super quick reply, very much appreciated. Glad to know that there could be a solution for the binding problem. I just searched the web for the switch tip.
