I’m 65, going through radiation for prostate cancer, and I too have back issues. I had L4, L5 fused in 2015, and haven’t had feeling in my right leg since…..and my back still hurts. Getting old gets tougher every day, Dave hang in there!
Sorry to hear about the Big C. Had my neck fused in 1992, I'm 67 now. Don't want to go through my ailments, but I know where you're comin' from. Moved to NJ last April, DOES THE SUN EVER SHINE HERE? LOL (Now I know why my fam left in the 1790s). Blessings Pete.
Right there with you brother 🎸
I had a prostatectomy three years ago, best of luck to you.👍
Damn, man!
I also had a L4 L5 hernia removed back in 2019, 16 days before I turned 30, all seemed well at first but after the swelling went down and my scares healed the sciatica pain and numbness came back unfortunately.
Wishing you the very best with everything! 💪🏻❤

Dave, I have learned so much from you. Some of it about guitars.
Today's lesson: don't modify guitars.
That's the corrrect way to install strings. I learned that 55 years ago. It works. Yes I am old. 75 in a couple of weeks.
I figured that out on my own back in the 70's.
Is it still necessary on a Floyd ? Since the nut is being locked down. It is how I do my strings on my other guitar with 2 post trem
Dave's always teaching us to not do things the stupid way!😄👍👍 We were driving through Kennebunkport ME yesterday and passed by Gooch Avenue and just around the corner there was Gooch's Beach. Never knew Maine was so goochy.🤔🤣
Because of Dave I never attach my trem springs on an angle. Over the years he’s explained it many times. So thank you sir, a tip of the cap to you.🧢
I hope you feel better Dave. I think you’d said it’s your back?
I broke my back in 2000. I had just turned 30 years old. Two years into it I wanted to end my life and i spent many nights staring at the gun in my closet. I couldn’t work, I was on disability living in poverty and I just wanted it all to stop. The pain was unbearable. Obviously I didn’t go thru with it and I’m glad I didn’t. I still live with chronic pain but it’s different than it used to be. I have my own business, going on 12 years now, remarried with two great little boys who rely on their daddy to teach them about life and prepare them for what life has to offer.
You’re in my prayers man. I hope you feel better soon.
Sorry to hear that man.
Like your videos Dave, you make me smile with your wit, always informative.keep up the good work.
I just joined the facebook thing recently. I usually avoid all the social stuff but I have to say I have gained more from this channel than anything else I spend time on. I have been doing setups for decades, but not all the other stuff. I have spent my life in the trades, and learned the value of thinking faster than you work. Thanks for all the breadcrumbs along the way. Seriously, thanks.
These are the Voyages of the USS Gooch. it's continuing mission to explore new Shaped Objects and seek out new Goochery 🍺
My old mum used to say, " old age doesn't by it's self". Just hit 72 and so far so good. Chins up lads.👍
Word of advice, Dave... Get the extension cable for the dremel to use for fine work, easier to handle precisely than the whole larger motor housing
Dave's fun stuff is my number one youtube channel. Learned a lot from him and he is not afraid to take chances with some of his more difficult repairs.
Really nice to see a master at work ...
Hey been watching for a few years and have the stickers to prove it! Thanks for all your education - I don't take my guitars into anyone anymore. Check that truss rod and get to it...
Dave's World of Fun Stuff....Being that this is a 1995 Black Label Mexican Squier Series....It's no wonder that they replaced the cheap Squier tuners...and the pick-guard, pick-ups, tremolo and strap buttons...the parts alone are worth more that the whole guitar...
My dremel sits in the box. I just hate the mess. Nice work Dave, cheers!
Thought I was the only 1 who melted pickguards with the Dremel. Thanks for sharing & the memory of that unlovely stench. Also, the philosophy of life/death nice to hear out of another's mouth for once....
I've strung up that exact way for a couple of decades. Before that, all turns were beneath the hole. That works too. But never a knot or kink.
Ha d a guy a supposed "Luthier" tell me the "Gibson knot" was unnecessary. I asked, how did you learn this Sir?(he was at least 30 years younger than me) He said his decades of experience taught him that. I started laughing & walked off.
Nice one Dave.
i believe we are about the same age. thanks for reminding me how utterly useless i am at the end.
LMAO I know the feeling. Had I known I'd have lasted this long...well you know the cliche.
Take it from someone who was born disabled: you are not useless; you just have internalized ableism, which is not your fault.
Born and raised in Chicago. Love “ the loop “ shirt
Dremel always to the rescue.
As someone appreciating an adult beverage while watching this, I appreciate the drunkenness of the creator of this video. You slurred your words and ramble on in a way I can appreciate while also appreciating an adult beverage. Even your technical difficulties while drilling the wrong angles were entertaining. Like I'm hanging out in the local bar where people work on guitars while getting schloshed.. Love it. Cheers. Hope you're health improves.
David - for a guy who is a mere few years younger than me, you work too hard. But don’t give up brother 🎸
I hope you have nothing but good health news, Dave.
Thanks for the longer video.
I’ve been using 2 and a half winds on my guitars for a while. To me, it looks nice and tidy and still gets the job done.
I use to work in West L.A. a number of years ago. There use to be a place across the street from the place that I work called Mrs. Gooch Health Food Store. I got a chuckle out of that. I believe that folks that are in this business should have a background in Mental Health and a Buttload of Common Sense. Laws of Physics are a plus too. I got GOOCHED yesterday on my Squire re issue 54 P Bass when I did a mod replacing the wiring harness with the pots and input jack from mm to SAE. Overall, she turned out great. Thank you for all of the info!
Excellent vibrato solo. Great with edibles 🙃🎸
Wonder what Dave thinks of the work Van Halen did on that striped guitar he had?
Dave, Today I relearned paint is or is not a tremstopper, depending. Second, if something is worth doing, it is worth doing again and again. Learned almost everything I know about working on guitars from you. Much luv, cheers!
Good work, Dave. You have the best intro's in all of YT.
All the best to you , Dave. Just stay on top of the medical system, ergo become a pest if you have to. You paid a lifetime of taxes, the system owes you. Never let it forget that.
The new trem stopper made my coffee go everywhere. lol…
Liked and subscribed! You're the best. 🎸
I think that's the same pickups and pick guard I get off AliExpress and for SRV or Jimi there great. They started putting the branding on them after I got my last set. The pick guards are always a bit off so I take the guts off that comes in them and swap my starter fenders guts with them.
Another good way to take some material off a pickguard… Use that same dremel but change your bit to a sanding tool. You can quickly sand away pickguard material a little at a time; very clean edges.
18:50 omfg he is the man, thing is in tune after he went nuts on the bar!!! Amazing :)
I have had a great time pointing out the bridge springs on an angle thing to many people over the years...learned that from Dave's World of fun Stuff...logic is a valuable thing ! Thanks Dave !
Unless you want progressive tension. logically.
@@paolunna Is that a rectal condition ?
You can know what you need. Order actual Fender parts, get them and they're crap. Send them back, they send you more crap in a nicely packaged Fender bag. After 3 times I gave up. This is what it has come to.
complete resurrection from the dead
Apparently, the Mexican Fender plant burnt down in 93. Every guitar from then on, until 96 was made with Fender US parts & shipped to Mexico for paint & assembly. Theres a YT video about a guy who bought a MX Squier strat, super cheap & looked up what it was. Big surprise. There's a Tele for sale over here in Australia for $800. Pity I just spent $620 on 1 Indonesian STD Strat, 1 Indo Tele & a Chinese "California series" Strat. All great cheap guitars. I have a lot of work to do.
wow - those pegs. not one of them is wound like the other. lol.
Yes the Hemi pillow! Great for the 'roids as well as trem blocks.
But it drives me nuts, this Strat has a bright white pickguard with nicely faded pickup covers, knobs etc. and a Strat I have here has a nicely faded pickguard with bright white covers etc. All wrong. Wrong! Visual Goochification.
Dave, is your shopp in Chicago, I want to come visit sometime. I’ll bring a project, pay you to help me wire-up my 10-way Free Way switch - Squier body, Mity-Mite neck… maybe figure out some new pick ups before I put it together.
Nice red color!!
Another good fix, Dave!
3:40 omg, laughing so hard. Love you Dave :)
You’re scaring me 🎸
Great video.
Pin router would do the job, but they are scary.
Bench cookies will help with the trem blocking issue.
Get a self-centering pilot bit for respotting those pickguard holes.
For some reason a red strat always looks so generic to me. They look cheap and unappealing to me. Even if it was a USA made strat. It still looks cheap to me
I used to feel the same way. Hated maple necks, too. Somewhere along the way my tastes changed, now a Fiesta or Dakota Red Strat with a maple fretboard is high on my bucket list. I didn’t used to like Dr. Pepper, either...
Where didyou get the Loop shirt? (I’m from Chicago)
awesome video!!!!!!!
Pickguard needs one more screw next to the middle knob.
Did you get rid of paint glob/trem-stop in the cavity?
thee old Goochcaster then eh?
thats a counterfeit a parts caster, the truss rod cavity should be wallnut or holly, or the bullet. theress aslso a small round control cavity under the pick guard and fender doesnt do that, what is funny is its probably just as good as a real fender
What are your thoughts on people using the Luthier's knot when restringing a guitar?
Having to trim a new pic guard is a bad thing?
okay I missed the part about the crappy bridge that the prier owner gootched into the given space that way yes?
a friendly question: why not just switch the pickguard for one that works right? good info. at any rate yes?
🤔I like my guitar strings as Close to the neck as possible without a buzzing whatsoever.
Chender!
Nice shirt! RIP 97.9 The Loop!
Can you add closed captions to your videos? Just subscribed. Glad I stumbled across your channel
That bridge has to be one of the worse designs i've ever seen.
I don’t have a fancy string winder so I do it the wrong way and end up at the same place, thank you very much.
You may enjoy something called a scroll saw for cuts like the one on the pick guard. It is like a band saw but makes more precise cuts and can cut inside a hole by easily removing the string/blade to go inside. It is for precise artistic cuts. Maybe, maybe not if you don’t want to take up the space. It is used for woodworking when you need to work smaller and in tighter places.
another messed with guitar that was fixed properly. if you dont know what your doing on a guitar, find someone that does and save yourself a mess and money
Plastics don't use a dremel - You want low Speed High torque otherwise you will melt it every time, some people make it work using dish soap or lubricant, but its just not the right tool for the job TBFH.
Are you affected by the wild fires?
I wish the six screw trem was no longer made. It’s a bad system. Especially now because they make the two pole trem system. Like, just stop, throw away the tooling for them. Or lose the instructions like NASA lost the instructions on how to go back to the moon.
I disagree.....and no one “lost the instructions to go back to the moon.” Moon landing denial is lazy.
@@corneliuscrewe8165 they lost it. Do you ever follow the news? Google it then get back to me
Bandsaw or a Scroll Saw would be much easier 👍
Holy shit. When did your comments became old man fest of who has the worst ailments? Lame.
bro too lazy to use a rasp or file ? Low speed no melting .
The worst guitar tech I have ever seen.
