Is there a video to watch that explains how you and Phil met up and start doing the Collaborative thing together? I am thinking as my channel grows...I might want to do something like this.
That place doesn't look like a typical high production manufacturing environment which is nice to see . Thanks for content .
Extremely rare to see this in a video. A masterpiece
Another really interesting video TTK! Thank you for sharing!
Cool video! I can't wait to see the whole process and your guitars at the end.
Cool guitar factory.
Really good video series! Thanks!
That was really interesting and was explained very well indeed thank you TK for a great vid
Great series - learning lots of useful info!! 👍🤘
Wow so great video~~!!
Very helpful!!
Thanks for sharing^^
Ahhh now I know! Thanks!
Cool! I like to see production videos like this. I’m a huge fan of “How it’s Made” too so go figure!! 😊👍🏻
Thanks blkjakk! I like 'how it's made' videos too. I could do this all day long! haha!
The Tone King Yeah, me too. 🤘🏻♥️
Absolutely, how it's made type stuff is great. I would have liked to see the tooling used to cut the different woods, and if they need different cutter materials, or cutters with different grind geometry, or different coatings, for different types of wood, like we do for different metals.
Even better, the tech data (sfm or rpm of cutter, feedrate, especially feed per tooth, and the depth of cut).
The fixturing, or method of workholding, if they screw it down and cut of the tabs or ears later, if it's clamped down, or clamped from the sides, or if they use vacuum fixtures.
I'd love to know how they locate the parts, relative to the tooling and locating the neck blanks in the fixturing, all of that is interesting to me.
Btw, Phil, (deg C x 1.8) + 32 = deg F, so:
50 × 1.8 = 90
90 + 32 = 122 degrees F
I do like that they pretension the truss rod on a straight neck, for several reasons.
Enjoyed the video, thanks guys!
Metalbass10000 I am with you on this. I get into the minutia with things & this is right up my alley. 😁👍🏻
Really enjoyed this one.🤘🤘
Thanks Paul!
Very nice Louis & Phill! \m/ Gut to zee CHERMAN kraftwerkmenchschiff! ;o)
EXCELLENT VIDEO. THANKS
Thanks for sharing TK ! :-)
You're very welcome buddy. Hope you are enjoying the video series from my visit to Framus!
@@thetonekingofficial Yes I am ! :-)
Good one.
6:16 thank you for asking that question Tone King! I've always wondered why Warwick/Framus does that whereas other manufacturers tape off the channel when they glue on the fingerboard.
This is a one way truss rod, totally different when you install a two way
@@aevoguitars2576 Then why did he say it was a dual action truss rod?
@@DemonEvidence maybe it is two way.I never seen one like that
Nice. Are they for guitars you and Phil are having made? or just a demo of the process?
Good explanation! I saw a few examples of truss rod installing without this piece of wood (above the rod) which fills empty space below fingerboard. Is this OK or not? If I well remember bottom of the slot for rod was flat (not in arch shape as in this video).
Liking that dark wood neck
Is it possibble to change truss rod from a esp ltd f10 by taking off the fret board ?
Where to buy truss rod like that?
It ironic to learn the truss rod in Warwick Factory, I have a lot Warwick bass, and had replaced one of the truss rod, the truss rod they use is weak, easy to brake and hard to fix.....other kind truss rod is way better.
So much automation even with high end instruments these days. Great video though on the truss rod assembly. I was always a bit unclear of all the actual process.
What DO you want then?
Don't think of it as automation, because even before that machine can be programmed, they have to design the fixturing, make all of the components of the fixturing, then assemble and test it, then prove out their process (on each indibidual neck blank location and it looked like more than 20 workpiece locations), these machines are loaded and unloaded by hand, and you see all the hand work that he had to do just those two neck blanks. And all of the blanks as they go through the process of becoming finished next to have to be measured at every step at so many dimensions, and each will almost always require some amount of handwork to get them to the right dimensions and to get them to the right feel, which is even more important than the actual dimensions.
The use of a CNC mill in operations like that isn't so much about automation, what it's really about is accuracy and precision, as well as a dramatic reduction in the scrap rate, and a dramatic reduction in the lost time due to a worker getting injured during that process, it's actually a much safer way to do things using a machine like that.
Hope that helps and hope I didn't come off as, "THAT Guy."
Stuff like this is my profession and one of my hobbies and I just really enjoy this kind of stuff.
@@Metalbass10000 I have nothing against it or disagree with anything you said. I'm a novice bass guitar luthier and have been contemplating investing into a small cnc machine. My current 3 design's I have drawn up aren't a standard precision or jazz styled bass but my leaning toward a heavy metalesque styled custom designs. My main concern is with the neck construction and getting the whole thing shaped proper. Right now every part of the bass builds I do are with bare bones of wood working tools and lots of manual sanding and filing and measuring.
@@Metalbass10000 You're 100% correct!
One of my walnut trees died. 🤔
Those machines look expensive 💰
Good video. But please stop with the loud annoying music.
