@TheFretman2 Thank you, and thanks for watching!

@Flippityflop2350 Woodcraft, it's retailer here in the US. They have some locations spread all over the US but also online. I think they call it a "Gunstock carving vise" or maybe just a "Carving" vise. Either way. Same thing as the red stewmac one, half the price, you can also be patient and it will go on sale even cheaper. I got mine on sale for $99 I think. About 2 years ago though so.... we might not ever see it that cheap again.

Thanks for watching, and thank you for the feedback!

Thank you for commenting and thanks for saying that!

Thanks for watching! I'm glad it helped you out!

Thank you for watching!

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! It helps a lot I think with the algorithm. I hope the owner likes it as well! It definitely made the guitar a usable tool again for a gigging musician. Thanks again!

Thanks for watching! Many share that opinion. I have experienced some pretty rough 70s strats and teles. This one is actually pretty good overall. It had a refret years ago, and I'm sure it played better than when it left the factory after that fret job. Given the play wear on it, I'd say it was the original owners number 1. Opnions aside on if the guitars or pickups are any good, the pickups from this era still sell for money enough to justify the rewind. A few hundred $US per pickup on reverb and ebay. Who's paying for them?? I don't know. Monetary value aside, this one is more sentimental. In this case, the original owner has passed away. It now belongs to his son. The son also plays music. The current owner would like to see the guitar return to full function and playability, I imagine for him, it'll be like having a small piece of his dad on stage with him. Thanks again for watching!

I personally think the worn frets are more "impressive" than the fingerboard wear. Definitely can't fake divots like that!

@@daveydacusguitars9033 I'm sure someone's worked it out! I'm not saying that's fake wear, I'm just taking a pop at relics 😂

Balls

This customer asked for jumbo stainless steel for the next set

That's why it's on my bench! I will be glad to make this thing right again.

Bluegrasser? Not enough acoustic players venture up the neck

Thanks!

Awesome! Thanks for stopping by, watching and commenting!

And thanks for the compliment!

My logic was....with an angled headstock, that break angle is built in for the strings farther from the nut. But to be honest, I'm not 100% sure on that. That's the only set of staggered keys I've ever seen made for an angled headstock.

Thanks for watching and commenting!

You can ground the bridge plate for extra insurance, but I haven't found it to prevent the microphonic issues associated with tele bridge pickups. It gets grounded anyway from the bridge ground wire, to the bridge, to the pickup mounting screw, and then to the bridge plate, as the screw is threaded directly into the plate and not the bobbin. I haven't seen issues yet with ground noise or buzzing. Thanks for watching!!

Possibly. I wanted it to be a permanent and lasting bond, with zero chance for vibration whatsoever. No doubt that tape is some strong junk though!

Also, thanks for watching!!

I had this Problem in the 80er.......and fixed it with Double sided gaffa......and it still holding Up👍✌️

I really can see where it could last as long as needed. Conventional or not, I can see where it would do the job. Mainly, I don't have a lot of personal experience with that tape, and I don't keep any on hand. So it never occurred to me to use it. Just using what I know and what's around me to solve the problem. Good to know though!

@scottkramer7431 Indeed! I don't know why my brain ever thought the wax would hold for the long term on that smooth surface.

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

Thank you for having the patience to get through them! I've been working on a solution for that. I bought an external mic. Over all its better audio, but it seems it's sort of directional, and in many instances it wasn't pointing towards me when I was talking. It's fine for background, or voice over if I intentionally talk directly into it, but for the shop environment needing both voice and background sounds it hasn't been what I had hoped it would be. Unfortunately I can't film it again.... so... I'll just try to improve it on the next one. I'm editing part 3 now and I'll try to do something to boost the volume in the editing software. It was filmed in the same way unfortunately. I have another video unrelated to this guitar where the audio was so bad I think I'll just edit out my talking and just do an entirely separate voiceover for it. Thanks for the feedback!
