- So, here is the second part of the Navigator Les Paul type oil finish.
Part1→ • Navigator Les Paul Ref...
The work I did was to apply more coats of oil finish and wax.
This guitar is a custom order, and there is no toggle switch near the neck, so the pickups are switched by a mini switch, so I had to come up with an original wiring scheme. I made a beautiful wiring scheme. It's not quite there yet.
I used SONIC cross wire for the wiring material.
It's the best cross wire that doesn't have solder on it. I don't know too many of them.
I was told to use flux and a sponge to remove the heat from the solder before pouring it on, so I've been trying that lately.
I heated the refret with solder as usual and pulled it out. I was still a little unsure if the fret grooves were Japanese fret standard grooves or inch standard fret grooves, so I filled them in and adjusted the grooves before fretting.
The fretboard is so tight that 0.04 of the Thicknesse gauge won't fit. The fretboard is as close to the fingerboard as possible.
It's very difficult to adjust the fretboard because it's very important for fretboard adjustment.
The fingerboard polish is like a jewel... I was happy to read in a comment that the frets are like jewels.
I didn't know about the nut replacement, but I wonder if the nut on a Les Paul from the 50's is the same size as an acoustic guitar.
I bought a regular Gibson size first, and the size didn't fit.
I was able to cut it out with an acoustic guitar nut size.
It's difficult to shape a Gibson type nut... I haven't done many of them, but it's basically difficult to determine how much to cut off because the strings don't have to touch the nut.
If you cut too much off the sides, it won't be beautiful or durable... If you don't cut it off, it will affect the feel of the guitar in your hands...
I don't like repairing guitars, but I'm risking my life to do it.
I hope you enjoy the video.

You must have an old artisans soul. I LOVE relaxing to your videos.
You define artistry...I am beyond impressed. Such meaningful work with a sense of purpose. Beautiful!
Most insane detail to fret work I have ever seen!
Thank you!
Attention to detail is outstanding, fantastic work Mr. Andy!
My god , i have never seen such a clean job done on the electronics . I just did that my self for the first time and I may have to throw it away and start again 😅
The skill and care you take in your work is absolutely remarkable Andy. It will be no surprise to me that you will become a well known and sought after luthier. You my friend are a guitarists dream,, Well done, well done!
I'm a new subscriber, Thank You for sharing this, much appreciated.
I've done this very same work to a couple of Les Paul Guitars, after watching this I'm glad to see this I'm on the right track with all of my processes/procedures.
So satisfying to watch, I find myself getting lost in the satisfaction when actually doing the same work.
Love the volute on this ESP, nice ribbon figuring in the mahogany body too.
Beautifully presented, stunning work and stunning video work👍
Love your work man. So much attention to detail. I cant believe that you don't like doing this work when you are so good at it.
That's very nice of you to say!
Never heard before about this ESP model,great work ,absolute dedication
Thank you!
Your work makes this guitar a piece of art
Thank you!
That's very nice of you to say!
It's finally here. The wait has been well worth it. Thanks for another detailed tutorial ✌️
Thank you!
@@Andybassguitar Always welcome, Andy 🤗
Very good channel indeed.
Obviously a Master of your craft. What makes this special to me is great camera work, no inane commentary or background music.
You let your skill tell the story.
Subscribed.
Thank you so much!
Your attention to detail is amazing. Truly amazing for me to see a luthier take this much pride and time into doing this much work by hand. I've had nothing but bad experiences with luthiers in my area, so I have become my own...
...that said, after I watched this video, I think I need to go in the other room, neatly place all of my guitars in a pile, then light them on fire and start over. Great inspiration to do better work.
Thanks for sharing this with us.
Thank you!
Absolutely agree!
You are THE Van Gogh of refurbishing guitars! I did cringe a little in pain during your soldering but then I realized the paste allows you more time before the solder and components start to burn, cook and/or fry. Absolutely everything you're doing is SO satisfying to watch because you ARE doing it all how they're really supposed to be done. Don't EVER change your ways!!
Thank you!
I may change it if I learn a new way of working.
Just massive attention to detail here. Beautiful work Sir!

Superb restoration, your simply the best 👌 👍
Beautiful work sir!
Your work is fantastic. This is in no way a critique, but something I think you'll appreciate. When trying to have the cleanest wiring possible I use heat shrink on the ends of cloth wiring, this keeps it looking very clean in addition to preventing further fraying of the material. I haven't found a way to cut it that looking pleasing. I really appreciate your use of tubing over the leads on the tone caps, great idea.
Te quedó espectacular!! muy buen trabajo, muy prolijo y bien hecho todo lo que le hiciste
Beautiful work.
That was the most relaxing video I've watched. Like meditation...
Awesome craftsmanship!
Thank you!
Excellent video, the dedication and passion that you give to the guitar so that it is in perfect condition, sorry for my level of English. Greetings from Peru!
Thank you!
Wauw! Beautiful video and top craftsmanship!
Thank you!
Oh wow the time and work that you put in it that guitar looks great! And I bet it sounds and plays great as well. Sweet
Thank you!

Thank you!
what do you apply with a toothpick to the nut grooves? It almost looks like vaseline
Probably the fret work beat my factory LP.
Soldering in one of those things where there is a dozen "right" ways to do it. Your work looks great, and the only difference I see in what you do, to what I do, is the following.
1: I don't add solder to my iron. I use the iron to heat the joints, and place solder near the iron on the joint and let it flow to the heat.
2: For a great "stable" joint, Mechanical First, then solder. (Example, at 5:20, you soldered the wire onto the tab. I'd have looped through the tab, then soldered). btw: Props to you on using heatshrink there too!
3: I've never ever trusted the cladding on pots. I've always taken a small swipe at a pot with a file and soldered to the metal (which generally you use a bit more flux and heat to accomplish).
My ideal soldering is to not pour in as much solder as possible, because solder is resistance.
However, the amount of solder is difficult to determine, because if there is not enough, the strength cannot be maintained.
@@Andybassguitar Right you are, Solder is resistance (depending upon the connection it could be less or more than the physical connection). Which is why a good mechanical connection is important. In a perfect world, we can rely on the mechanical connection, and solder to stabilize it, and prevent corrosion of the joint. 🙂
Andy, what is the size of the filler gauge, that you use to check clearance between fretboard and new fret that you've just install with the hammer? Thank you in advance!
The sicceness gauge is 0.04mm.

verry good !!!!! from thailand
Thank you!
Awsome as usual andy love to have a guitar set up by you
Thank you!
Andy-San, brilliant work as always. Makes me want to just send my guitar to you!
By the way, does the warm type fret makes it play warmer too? How does it compare to Jescar Evo gold?
Freedom's fret WARM is much softer than Jescar Evo.
Exzellent!!! W.H.
Hi Andy, what is the liquid that your putting in the nut?
Tamiya silicone grease.

Excellent work!! I recently subscribed and I’m so impressed with your ability.
Question for you, are you adding solder to the frets before you remove them? If so, why? I’ve heard that you’re supposed to heat the fret before pulling it out but I’ve never seen solder used on it too.
Thanks Andy!!
Solder is used to transfer heat efficiently.
Espectacular 🇦🇷🤘
Thank you!
リフレットをお願いしたいのですが、そうゆう個人のお仕事はやられているのでしょうか？

ハンダ付けこだわっています！
I don't understand soldering the frets before removal. If it's just to aid removal by heating them up, can't you just place the soldering iron directly on the fret???
What is the stuff that you apply to the surface before soldering it ?
It is a flux for solder.
ほんとにさすがです！！
自分のギターもやって欲しいです😅
ありがとうございます！
👍👍👍 What is the last grit you are using before polishing the frets with compound ??? (I use 1500).
That is 1,500 to 2,000.
how do you clean the pores of the rosewood after sanding?
I polish with Kovacs and Treecut.
Can anyone tell me what is the honey looking gel that he uses for soldering?
It is solder flux.
Mesmerizing. It must take a whole day just to fabricate and fit the frets.
How many hours were put into the complete refinishing? couple of hundred hours?
There is also the drying time of the paint, but it is probably about two months.
Most decent fret work ever 👍
Any difference processes between nickel silver and steel fret?
Thanks Master luthier Andy 😀
Varying the curvature of the fret bend.
What kind of pots and caps are you using?
This is Emerson's wiring kit.
perfect.
Thank you!
Mega! 👍
Hello again, do you use a single cut or double cut file for the fret ends?
Sorry, I don't know what you mean by single or double cut of the file.
I am using the one that does not have a file attached to the sides.
@@Andybassguitar Single cut: when you look at the file you see lines going in diagonal from one side
Double cut: when you look at the file you see lines going diagonal from side, and lines going in diagonal from the other side as well, and they cross each-other.
it's like you put 2 hair combs on top of each-other.
What was the total working hours on this restoration? Stunning job
I don't know how long it actually took, but it took a month or two.
I love your work. It's amazing.
Can you tell me what material you apply with the small brush? The finish is simply beautiful.
Thank you.
What minute is the scene?
@@Andybassguitar Thank you so much for answering me.
Right at the beginning of the video, between 0:46 and 1:17
This is an oil for oil finishes.
Sorry, the manufacturer is a secret. In the scene where I am wiping off the oil, this is the one on the upper right.
Please try to find it. I'm sorry.
@@Andybassguitar Thanks. I don't need to know the brand. I'm just delighted with the finished result. Looks like varnish or shellac but prettier.
Your work is wonderful.
Hey Andy, I notice on your videos, after leveling your refrets you don't show the crowning.. are you not using a crowning file or just not showing it? Love the work man!
How did you notice that!
I do not use a crowning file. (Basically)
Using a file does not give me my ideal fret crown.
I make the fret crown with sandpaper.

What is the brand of the mini toggle switch ?
Perhaps this is it: jp.rs-online.com/web/p/toggle-switches/7624741
@@Andybassguitar Thanks but it isn't. I was wondering because the one in your video has a convenient connectors orientation that I don't see anywhere else, and it seems to be good quality. I try to read the brand at 5:00 but I can't.
Awesome work man... so wish I could afford all the tools and a shop to do this out of my own personal space for a living. Hell even if there is no making a living at it. It is all about the passion and love for doing such work. I am a luthier at heart, it is literally all I want to fill my every waking minute of time and days with is being around, playing, or working on instruments... of course my music, and being the creator of my own original music. But mostly want to be hand building strictly one-off custom guitars and or refurbishing other guitarist\bassist gems and of course acoustics too. I mean that's a given right.
Keep up the love and passion for an awesomeness trait to be blessed in doing man enjoyed both parts to this I will be subscribing to your channel for sure❗🤘🤪🤙

フラックスの洗浄には何を使っておられますでしょうか？
なにか特殊なものでしたら教えていただきたいのですが…
普通のフラックス洗浄液を使っています。スプレータイプを買いましたが、塗るタイプの方が使い勝手がいいかもしれませんね。
@@Andybassguitar わざわざのご返信ありがとうございます。とあるヤニなしのヴィンテージを手に入れましたが、悩んだ挙げ句にリキッドの無洗浄タイプをつかっておりました。しかし、だいぶ体に悪そうな匂いがするのと同時に、せっかくのビンテージはんだとミスマッチな気がして、どうにも精神衛生上(身体にも)よろしくないのでよくあるケ○ターのヤニ入りに戻ってしまい、ビンテージはんだは道具箱の肥やしになっています。
ご意見、ありがたく参考にさせていただきます。AndyさんのPOTの背面にはんだを点付けする動画を拝見して以来のファンです(笑)あの動画を見て、私も同じコテ先を買ってしまいました(笑)
ビンテージハンダいいですね！
私は基本ケスター44を使っています。
さらにフラックスを使ってハンダ付けしています。
ハンダの種類の好みはあると思いますが、ハンダに光沢を出せる様に(ハンダを殺さないように)超短時間で半田付けできる様に意識ています。あと線を可能な限り多い面積で接触させるとか、
フラックス洗浄液は無水エタノールでもいいらしいので、体の事を考えるとそっちの方がいいかもしれませんね。
c型の小手先いいですよね。心の師匠がお勧めされていいたので使っています。
potのハンダ付けが抜群に楽になります。
@@Andybassguitar ありがとうございます。C2型は本当に使いやすくて、主に基板配線なので先の尖ったものでも良いのですが、ジャックやpotがどうも苦手だったのですが、c2型があればほぼ万能につかえますね。それに、ケスター44は改めて使ってみると、よく溶けてくれて本当に使いやすいはんだだと思い知らされました。私もヤニ入りのはんだもフラックス併用でやってみます。
あの動画は本当に目からウロコでした。電池式の物での若干温度が低いときのはんだが粘るように溶ける様子は、とても勉強になりました。しっかり適正な高温では、完全に液体化して、低い温度だとクリーム状に粘ってしまうんですね。
ケーブルと端子のはんだ付けの時にも接触面積をいしきするようになりました。実はあの動画を見た後で、自分のギターの配線を全部やり直しました(笑)
余談ですが、ハンダゴテは中華製のハッコーFXシリーズとコテ先互換のステーション型を最近手に入れて愛用しています。表示される温度はどうやら正確ではないらしいですが、117V仕様とのことなので、大体1.17倍に脳内変換して使っています。￥3.900でしたが、値段以上の使い勝手で気に入っています。関係のない自分語りをしてしまい申し訳ありませんでした。これからも楽しみにしております。

At 16:30 i do not understand why you didn't make the ends of the frets before they are seated on the fretboard.
This scene shows the removal of burrs from a fret side that was cut diagonally.
I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you were saying.
@@Andybassguitar Yes, after removing the tung of the fret i would cut the length accurate and sand and polish the fretends to their final form and then i would hammer them in.
That way, there is a chance of scratching the hammer, and there is also a chance of misalignment of the sides when the frets are driven in.
I think the way to do it is fine for each person.
I've never heard of that method before.

You don't put solder on the frets, you just heat them with the iron.
はじめまして。 何本か拝見させていただき勉強になりましたm(_ _)m
一つご質問させていただきたいのですが、フレット交換時に引き抜くフレットにハンダをのせるのは何故ですか？
指板に樹脂系接着剤が使われていて指板を欠いた経験がお在りとか？
再度バインドと指板を熱で傷める等のリスクを知っていながらの工程の理屈が思い付きませんf(^_^;)
お教えいただけると嬉しいですm(_ _)m
こんにちは。
ご質問ありがとうございます。
フレットにハンダをのせるのは、フレットと指板の密着を解く目的で使っています。
もちろん接着剤を溶かす目的でも使いますが、接着剤を使っていないフレットにも使う事があります。
ただ、絶対に使わなければいけない、という事でもありません。
状況を判断して使っています。
私の乏しい経験ですが、ハンダでフレットを温めると指板の欠けがほぼ無くせます。
ハンダによる熱の指板やバインディングのダメージよりも、フレットを抜く事によるほんの少しの欠けを無くすと言うのが、リスクバランス？天秤にかけた時にハンダを使う事が圧倒的に多い場合が私は多いのです。
ハンダによる指板のダメージというのはほとんど感じた事がありません。(もちろん無いとは言いませんが)
バインディングのダメージも、リフレットを行うのであれば、指板修正をほぼほぼ行いますので、無くなります。
なので私は、フレットを抜く際にハンダで温めます。
もちろん、ハンダを使わずにフレットを抜くのが指板のダメージなどに取ってはいいとは思います。
私の作業手順としては、最初の一本はハンダを使って抜き、接着剤の有無を確認して、無いようであればハンダを使わずに抜きます。
その際にフレットに欠けが多いか、少ないか確認して再度ハンダを使うか考えます。
コメントありがとうございます。
いつでもご指摘いただければと思います。
