    I’ve watched a lot of fret leveling videos and this video is one of the best. A great method very well explained. Thanks!

    Hey cool daddy! After watching this video around thirty times plus some I'm sure, I finally got my Epiphone masterbuilt TEXAN to strum clean with zero if not minimal string buzz after many weeks of study and efforts.
    No shim, no saddle adjustment, just a bit of truss rod calibration.
    This Epiphone masterbuilt TEXAN axe is so much cleaner and pure toned after I used your techniques and tried and true luthier secrets, that I am doubly amazed by my ham handed fumbling after seeing you work YOUR CRAFT and the clear positive results I experienced from following your LEAD. .
    Thank you so much. Love ya, mean it.

    Great video my friend! I’m a newbie to working on my own guitars but this really helped! Thanks a lot! Love the custom aspect of it, like not every guitar is the same to fret level and dress….Cheers mate! 🇨🇦🍁👍🏻

    Really enjoyed and can appreciate all the work and skill necessary to do quality work. If the low frets show sizable divits from “cowboy chords” but all the others no wear, do you recommend a fret dress or fret wire replacement? Thanks!

    Great video in all respects. But lord gawdy does Martin not have any QC people?

    Awsome video, hope i can feel confident enough to do all that one day, i worry every time i change my strings,lol, but i do have a question on whats best to clean my matt black finish on my guitar body, it is not smooth and glossy like most shiney electric guitars, i have dunlop 65 guitar polish and cleaner but i think that is for the smooth glossy finish guitars, any suggestions??🎸

    I have a fender CD60 6 string electro acoustic and a new fender villager 12 string. I had a problem with the G string splitting on my older CD 60-CSE as there was a small notch on the 2nd fret just below the G string I gave it a rub with fine emery paper and not having any more problems with this string. There is slight wear on the 1st and 3rd frets but I assume that slight little dents are normal wear no sign of wear on any other frets. The guitar is nearly 3 years old but plays great and always stays in tune is it worthwhile getting 3 new frets or should I just leave it meantime.I love both my guitars and like to keep them in good shape always clean and polish them when I'm finished playing 😍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    I really liked the background music. What's the band , title and where can I get it?

    All the professionals like Stewmac show you them doing the sanding up and down the neck, but you say that, we shouldn't do that, so now I am a little confused.

      Yea, that sounded very new to me. I'm also trying to understand the logic behind this method you explained.

      All the professionals don't usually tell you everything. On properly made guitars there is a falloff after 12th fret, so for not taking too much material by leveling all the frets and then creating the removed falloff again, it's better to preserve it, if it's there already.

    So how bad do frets need to get before you have to do a dressing? I have a Yamaha that I'm sort of questioning. And how do you know what size the existing frets are when you buy replacement wire?

    Brand new Martin !? What happened to it to cause neck twist and severe back bow

    • @rickylakemusic
      @rickylakemusic Před 2 měsíci

      back bow is normal, air pressure and climate changes, humidity combined with fluctuating string tension all will cause neck movement. neck twist is not normal.

    Martin quality... twisted neck 🤨

    • @vitaliistep
      @vitaliistep Před 28 dny

      It's not Martin, it's 50s technologies in the guitar building. A carbon fiber or aluminium neck wouldn't have been twisted.
