Video

With the power pins it seemed like you were over driving your microphone. A definite change for sure seemed louder.

Looks like he removed the electrical tape from around the repair at around 3:43 or so, and then freestyled the scraping/sanding.

How about an off white finish?

how does that stuff work with different colours? my friend has a maroon esp i wanna help him fix a ding on it.

Thank you so very much for doing this. I just chipped my black Jackson DK-2 and was freaking out over it. I know what to buy and what to do now to fix it. Thank you again!

Good Job, dude - your video gives me the confidence to try a couple of dings in my own solid body electric - thanks :-)

wow buddy you, that is amazing ,you are a true expert thank you for the tips, kind regards mike in the uk.

I used nails polish. Kinda works.

where to buy in Canada?

I am also in Ca. yesterday i nicked my LP, i was wondering how i could contact you to see if you can repair it?

How do I purchase these items when gear up do not ship to UK .

Hi. Glad to see this video 6 years after I guess... I have a moderate dent that was from the factory defect under the clear coat in the sound hole of my solid spruce top. Yes...I literately meant “in” the sound hole rim, that seems like they dented the wood with the neck clamp while laminating the neck to the body. There was no chipping , the wood did not break, it was just like a small concave surface. I guess I will just fill it up without doing any color. I wonder is the bonding strength enough for the fill n finish? Considering I have a really narrow apply surface, and I need to do all the sanding work later. I checked their website, and I found they now have two types for the clear fill n finish: standard and thin. Do you have any knowledge regarding how much more “thin” the thin type is? And how long do you need to wait for the fill to dry if you don’t use an accelerator? What else advantages do the accelerator gives other than speeding the drying process for this specific product? What is the content of this fill n finish, is it nitro based or some plastic based like poly? I had a very strong background in making hobby models (I was a professional hobby model builder for over 11 years), and I am pretty confident in my scraping and sanding skills. I used to work a lot on plastic and nitro surfaces, but I had never worked on polyurethane surfaces, are there any other tips you can give me? I’d be really thankful if you can get back to me after 6 years you created this video lol!

Hey I have changed my channel to a new you tube channel check it out and please subscribe! Thanx Tracy studio.czcams.com/channels/i1-pNlBC-gigJ9nGzRDM6w.htmlvideos/upload?filter=%5B%5D&sort=%7B%22columnType%22%3A%22date%22%2C%22sortOrder%22%3A%22DESCENDING%22%7D

Best video on this repair I’ve seen yet! Very detailed explanation and great camera work. Thank you sir!

Very nice

So I baught a guitar didn’t seem a line scratch before but it looks a little deep and it’s tie die colour any suggestions on how to get rid of this scratch

Great idea with the cuurved scraper blade , doing drop fils today as well

hey, if I cant find the first bottle that you used online, are there any alternatives that can work?

Thanks for the video, but a lighter guitar would have helped me see what you were doing.

On gloss japanese gloss can you drop fill with just runny superglue and just leave it to level out without sanding? If used runny enough and correct amount shojld fill a dink ? Or is that stupid? Finidh still on guitar. Just for level. ? What superglue is thin enough?

Why no use wood glue?

Hey great video do you do work on your own?

I have a dent in the back of my les Paul transparent wood grain. How would I go about matching red mahoghney?

I found at the local WOODCRAFT store some STICK FAST brand CA BLACK FLEXIBLE (already tinted black) and an activator (activator chemically reacts to instantly harden CA). Used a similar technique only I added 3 steps of sandpaper to 3000 grit (local HD store-)adding 4000 would be better but wasn’t available. At this finish it is approaching a gloss finish. Finished it with automobile polish compound applied by hand on a cotton cloth and this brought it to life matching the black high gloss finish. You have to catch a light reflecting directly from the repair to distinguish the very slight difference of the CA fill.

Can you use this on your phone

Goodness thank u dude

Wow, I had to look through quite a few repair vids involving Gluboost before I found one that was anywhere close to my use case. Thanks!

If only the recording wasn't one of the worst I've ever heard. You can hear a definite difference but is it better or worse? You'll never now from this recording!

Can the crack affect the sound of your guitar?

Holy crap wow.

you must do a before and after test

I'm sorry but the closeness of your voice was a little too much in this video, though this is the first video to have a good explanation of power pins, thanks

It was smart thing to do to see something on black. Nice video

I hear a buzzy sort of characteristic once the Power Pins are installed. It is possible that you are playing harder/with more force, causing the strings to buzz slightly.

Great video. I used your method on a guitar and it worked great. Do you think it would work on a scratch on a car finish? Seems like it would...just not sure the super glue would hold up being exposed to sunlight, rain, etc.

That's awesome! Do you have a video doing a natural finish acoustic guitar?

can this be done on a metalic gold finish?

do you have any links for me to order that gear up product..i might need those 3 items...please e mail me souless999@hotmail.com

Tracy, thanks man, you did a great job on this video, I'm inspired to repair a Gretch that has some chips similar to your 8 string. You did a stellar set up on one of my guitars and it plays like butta.

Have been wondering about these for awhile. Thanks so much for the very nicely explained & well done video! Janine

hi i have a 2 tone sunburst strat with a ding in yhe finish would this help????

Is this not CA glue? Because cotton(Q-tip) and CA is a disaster waiting to happen, it can combust and catch fire, and the fumes from the CA coming off the cotton is just nasty IME.

Great vid! I've done many drop fill repairs before and still learned some new things from ya! Thanks.

wich gauge of strings did you use?

I was asked about added mass of the power pins to the sound, they are really light,(the box they come in is heavier...) and since it changes the loading to top loading , the mass/weight doesn't deaden the sound too my ears at all.

How do you fix sand threw i had a very scratched guitar and wet sanded it with 1500 its a black stain as you can just make out the grain however i went threw on the horns a little and its almost looks like a clear than the dye and than clear/polly over that. Can the sand threw be fixed or would i have too sand it down too wood and restain it

witch is the name of song that you plays in this video?

What a fantastic engineering idea! I'm going to order a set for my awesome acoustic guitar... not for the tone change but because it's such a faster way to change string instead of the cumbersome old-school way. Thanks for posting this! :)

Hi Zepdude- I did definitely notice a difference between "before" and "after", but I also noticed that the audio for both samples sounded very compressed. Does your camcorder mic have some sort of "auto leveling" i.e. compression feature? For my money I found the compression artifacts a little distracting and difficult to hear through.

BTW all you are hearing is a cheap $199 Canon camera Mic...what I used for the video. Done on purpose.....I knew I would get slammed for doctoring the sound.. Peace
