Man what a treat. I started following you 5 years ago and binged your entire sharpen my axe series.
Same! An excellent series!
SAME SMA got me hooked on this channel
I’m really pleased sharpen my axe is back I’d love to see you upgrade a epiphone ebo bass and make it eb3 specs my latest project
Yes!!! It’s the only 4-stringed instrument I own and I’ve been dying to mod it within an inch of its life. Being a guitar player myself, I’m not sure what upgrades I should do on my bass.
Same! I really enjoy this series
@@CHlEFFIN
Pups? Maybe a better bridge and shield the electronics, other than that I can’t think of much else that would be needed for bass. I’d basically go for anything that would improve tone and sustain to start, and then maybe put on a hip shot if you drop d a lot. Players styles vary of course, but that should be a good base level upgrade.
We modded an EB-0
w PTB (2-way passive tone circuit), Babicz bridge, and Dominger 11-pole single coil instead of the mediocre bridge pickup you’ll find in the EB-3. Added an onboard fuzz circuit.
Absolutely fantastic instrument once modded.
Now known as the “Homewrecker”.
Dude you’re like the Shop teacher in school the way you explain things! Great tutorial
Welcome back, Sharpen My Axe! The main reason I watch this type of video is to learn more about how to maintain and adjust my guitars. I've never had much money to throw at guitars and am always looking to save. The DIY route is best for many and probably most players, because it saves the money and TEACHES you things, too. As you learn more about setting up and maintaining your axes, you lose fear and gain control. This gives the player at least a couple of reasons to learn how to do this stuff; it pays off huge!
Everyone hit the LIKE! This series is time consuming and costly to put out. We appreciate you Phil!!
The ol’ fretboard flapping in the breeze conundrum 🫤
I hate when that happens 🤣🤣🤣
Sharpen my axe is such a great series, keep it going!!
Love sharpen the axe. thanks Phil.
Plus loving your new playing skills, I see progress. 80% player 20% guitar
DUUUUDE I was just re-watching Sharpen My Axe last week! This is the series that hooked me on your channel all those years ago, and I am so excited to see a new installment!
So cool to see another Sharpen My Axe! Thanks Phil!
Thanks, Phil. Love the Sharpen My Axe videos.
Right on!
I'm glad I watched a SMA video again, cause that's how I met Mr McKnight.
I love Sharpen My Axe videos. Great informative videos while being entertaining to watch. 😎
I love all your content, Phil, but these Sharpen My Axe videos are my absolute favorite. Thanks for all you do!
Ive watched a few of your sharpen my axe videos and i really enjoyed them, but this one has hit home with me so now I'm subscribed. I have a warlock with similar damage, i believe that you save me a ton of money with this tutorial, thankyou.
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you for bringing back Sharpen My Axe. Maybe it's because I'm an old cheap skate but I love videos wherein you repair mid-level instruments. As a beginner, that's where I get the most benefit from the show. I watch the live shows to learn but most of the topics are over my head musically speaking. Peace, DD
Thank you for this. The Sharpen My Axe series was what brought me to your channel to start with. I really enjoy learning how to do some of these small fixes.
The series that got me to watch you in the first place! Glad to see it return to the chanel
As a woodworker I can vouch for Titebond, that stuff will never come apart, the wood will shred around it first. Definitely wipe it while it's wet or it will be much harder to remove without damaging the finish, and they also have waterproof versions, not that it should be needed for a guitar I can't imagine sweat would impact this. I have the same exact vintage Korean Epiphone I bought new after college in '92, though mine is the custom looking model. It's still a really great playing guitar.
I had a red sparkle limited edition Epiphone Les Paul like the one you have in the video , but mine had a Bigsby type tremolo on it . I never really bonded with the sparkle finish and my brother in law has owned it since around 1998 , he still plays it often .
I know some of the reasons you set Sharpen My Axe aside, but watching all of those videos inspired me to take up setups, modifications and repair to my own guitars. Bought some basic Stew Mac, Skyscraper and Music Nomad tools to cover most of my projects. Now, my guitars are all setup exactly how I like them and swapping pickups or polishing frets is something I find a lot of joy in being able to do well all by myself. Built 4 Partscasters and modified a couple of my other instruments to where I love them and play more. Really rewarding to be able to do it yourself. Hope to see more of these types of videos because of how well you teach and explain. 🤘🫡
YES! Thank you, this is the series that got me into your Channel. I am so glad its back, hopefully for as long as you can sustain it!
Great video Phil, I quit on Gibson Les Paul’s , 10 years ago I tried a PRS single Cut , and the rest is history, it’s far superior to me personally , Tone , Feel , Build quality looks.
Thank you for a new Sharpen My Axe, Phil! We know how much work goes into these videos.
Great to see this series return! It's how I got into the channel in the first place.
Fixing and modding my older guitars is the best feeling.
Very happy to see "Sharpen My Axe" being back!
Very good, thanx Phil. 👍
I bought an Expensive LP Standard EPI a couple of yrs ago, after a few months of playing it, i opened the case and the headstock fell off. It was almost a clean break right at the nut, with not much angle. I dont ever recall dropping the case or knocking the guitar. Lucky to find a good tech here in Oz $150 au. Has played great since being repaired. We need more guys like you over here Phillip..👍
Love sharpen my axe. I heard titebond 2 and 3 aren't good for guitar repairs because they are waterproof, so they make future repairs difficult. I've never used any titebond stuff myself though
I like original the best, but I like 2 when doing anything that gets lots of hands or sweaty hands on it.
Old carpenter here. Titebond 1 dries kinda hard. Good for basic repairs of wood that wont move much. Titebond 2 awesome and kinda more flexible. Perfect for strong cabinet joints, guitar necks, nuts, wood veneer. Fast setup time, so dont let it dry much before cleaning it up. Titebond 3 is an exterior weatherproof kind of glue. Really made to be outdoors and strong as well. To unglue things we use a hair dryer or heat gun. So think about that for a minute. 🤣
Love Sharpen my Axe! 🤘
You should have been a dentist! Very gentle & smooth with the needle.
🤣🤣🤣
Awesome man! I LOVE LOVE LOVE these workshop vids!
Great video, and great advice as always! I used to be really hesitant about attempting to fix my own guitars when I was younger; I thought guitars were held together with magic. But once I got my head around how it’s just some pieces of wood with frets and some electrics attached to it I realised I could probably fix anything myself! Videos like this are what gave me the confidence to have a go at most repairs myself!
Thank you Phil
This is exactly what happened to my Ovation Deacon 12 string. It got knocked over and it cracked just like this along the fretboard. I took it to a luthier thinking it probably couldn't be fixed since it's a 12 string but he did and I can't even see the crack . I asked him how in the world he fixed it and this was the process he described. It's been about 5 years and it still plays like new. I love learning how to do things like and I appreciate you showing us how !
Great lesson! Thank you!
Love the channel. Much like our favorite guitarists, Phil makes things I wish I could do look so easy.
Spent way too much time trying to find the tip you gave on the dremel wheel divot lol. Saving now, great tip!
Excellent video Phil!
GREAT JOB PHIL!
I've been meaning to fix my first guitar, an Epiphone LP100, which has a crack in the neck. Those glue needles, and the pocket knife trick are exactly what I needed. Thank you!
🎉I’m always down for the repair videos! I started down the repair and upgrade road because of your channel years back. Thank you!
Nice work! Your shop has really taken that next step. Looks like you could do just about any luthier type work in there. And you made the most important facts well know right up front. Easy on the glue, easy on the polishing, sanding, heat, etc. That "sharpening" can lead to more damage if not done carefully.
More Sharpen My Axe........ Yes Please 🤘🤘 Keep em coming Phil.
I wish I had a house so I could have a workshop. Great video Phil
Great to see it back ❤
great video Phil, love seeing these working class guitars be restored.
So awesome. I had an Epi T-Bird bass crack the same way. This axe looks like it could use a fret level/crown and new nut, too.
How can you see uneven frets? 🤡🤡🤡
@@Kommander_Rahnn They're not uneven, they're pitted from string pressure. Phil said as much later in the video (and I apparently jumped the gun with my comments).
If you change the heights of the frets, you should always re-cut the nut. In this case, the original probably wasn't cut properly to begin with. So it's a good opportunity to replace it with a better material and carve it properly.
Great video, hope to have more of these type of video's in the future!!
Dude that's exactly the same way I fix them,pocket knife and all,I even have the same syringes as well.i buy every guitar I can find that's broke like that and I fix them and I think it helps the tone of the guitar.cheers brother
Glad you were able to get a sponsor for SMA!
getting awfully close to that 400k number!
I'm so excited that sharpen my axe is back!!
i cracked my epiphone super dot neck like that trying to remove the nut as a teenager, since I was stringing it lefty but a tech fixed it up .... 15 years later lol
Oh wow. I never expected Sharpen My Axe to return YESSS
If sponsors are what make this possible then we can all happily live with it. You’ve demonstrated enough integrity over the years that I know you won’t accept sponsorships from anything you don’t genuinely recommend.
Wow, watching this video didn't feel like 24 hours! Time flies during a good video 😂
Awesome video. Beautiful LP.
Thanks for the tips.
Love it ... thanks for a no nonsense straight forward repair !!
Dude, happy this series is back….but bring back the old intro riff!
Great it's one of my favourite channels
Locking tuners, bone nut and a decent set of pick ups, polish frets
A lot of players look down on the neck scarf joints on Epiphone necks but they are supposed to be stronger than a one piece neck. I guess the fact that the neck did not break and only the fret board lifted a little proves this to some extent. My 1998 Epiphone Les Paul standard has never missed a beat and I've played the life out of it. It's still my favourite Les Paul even over my 2010 Gibson Slash signature and the Slash Les Paul is a mighty fine guitar.
Sounds like a Gibson custom now!
I keep getting your old videos & I'm not being notified of your newer videos.
Very nice. Much appreciated.
personally, i like these videos Phil.
Love this.
Wow that's a great podcast, and great instruction on a repair.....very practical how to....
Thanks Phil. I really like these sorts of videos.
Agree with all here... sharpen my axe series is awesome. Not many can afford or justify custom shop LPs/strats or private stock PRSs. Getting a good guitar and upgrading to its peak performance is the dream. Love this channel as this could be a dull topic, but i am rivetted to Philip's approach and results.....
Another great repair vidio.Thanks Phillip
By far my favorite segment on the KYG channel. Phil glad to see it back. These videos were what originally spiked my interest in the channel.
Enjoyed the video Phillip,like that sparkle finished epi.
Damnit i need to go and watch all the sharpen axe vids now... some absolutely solid advice here.
Never woulda thought to scrape the neck, my first thought (not best one) would've been complete re-finish if it were my own, down to bare (or as close as damnit) wood then use a nice oil finish for super slick fun :)
Glad to see this make a comeback!
You know I have a Jackson dk3 that has a 12in to 16in compound radius with a Floyd Rose. I'd love to see a video of you shimming some floyd saddles to create a flatter radius.
It's quite telling when you go to "upgrade" the PUPS and discover it's already been done, so you keep the PUPS that you were apparently unhappy with.
Just shows, doesn't it?
How about using drill bit as thick as the needle and drill in between the fingerboard and neck from the nut pocket? Inject glue into the hole so it goes all the way to end of crack.
Phil, I really like the "Sharpen My Axe " series . I have learned a lot from them and wish there was a way for them to be profitable for you. Kind of a shame that a video of a FireFly guitar would get 10x more views than one that is actually educational.
Why thia video didn't do as well as some of the others is puzzling to me! Must be a CZcams thing for sure, i bet everyone here is thrilled Sharpen my Axe is back
Digging it.
Sharpen My Axe … very cool to see this again 👍
Thanks, Phil!
this is great!!
So, he played the guitar, didn't like the sound but changed his mind when he saw what the pickups were?
Makes sense....
Specs and trivia - pocket knife looks like a Wenger, maybe a Highlander - inquiring minds...
Sweeeeeeeeeeeet!! Love to see it!!
Excellent video
Missed these vids. Thank you
Love the intro music!!
🎸YES! 🎸
Thank you for SMA!🤘🏼
Very cool video! Great tech work Sir!
Well done.
Hey, Phil, don't they fill in the truss rod rout with wood after installing the rod and then the fretboard sits on top of that? I can't imagine the truss rod has nothing between it and the fretboard.
Love this series. I’ve learned so much. However I have a couple questions. Your buddy said he bought new pickups to install, but when he saw that they had already been upgraded, he chose to keep them. Did he not like the way it sounded? Would this be an example of somebody listening with their eyes instead of their ears? I’ve been guilty of this many times so I don’t mean that rudely. Honest question. Thanks Phil!!!
I would pay you to remove and install stainless frets on my Japanese boxer tele. Enjoy your work.
Great info, thanks🙏🏻
Nice!!
