Thanks!

Price?

Awesome tip thanks!

Sound just the same

What’s up Drew great video here man. I work at the Breedlove guitar shop in Bend, and we use these tuners in our high end stuff, so I had no doubts about the quality. It was cool to learn more about these tuners from you. Keep up the great work!

Carvin/Kiesel have been using tung oil on the backs of necks or as a full guitar finish for years. I have it on my DC700's neck, it's amazing.

So.... Basically I just spent 14 minutes for you to tell me that looking at it with the writing side up the left side is the ground and the right side is the positive?....🙄

Thanks very much, the closest thing i had to hand was a golf ball and it worked well!

Drew has done fantastic work on my guitars, particularly my acoustics. He made one of my 12 strings that was unplayable, play like butter. First 12 string I've had that I can reasonably easily play a barred F chord! I now live 450 miles away, and if I have a guitar that needs serious work, I'll make the road trip!

Please don’t use a 9V battery to pop out a bridge pin from underneath. Any puncture to a battery can cause an explosion.

man yer good...twice in a night! i know what tuners im putting on my homebuild Taylor OM...Thanks Again!!!!!

But they're soooo heavy!😭😭😭 Weight on the headstock is so underestimated as a guitar tone factor.

Love the heating the string trick 👍 great tip

If you put the springs between the screws and the bridge plate with the screw half-way forward, problem solved. It loses a little treble and the strings go very smooth. Still, 12th fret matches the loose string.

Omg thank you for this. So smart

Nobody has mentioned ebony bridge pins on a yamaha fg830. I’ve got the CE version of this guitar, and I had ebony bridge pins installed and it sounds great. I also use elixir 1356 medium gage phosphor bronze strings. I really like how my guitar sounds

Great video Drew!

Brilliant! Thanks a lot, the rattle was really bugging me

My Stratocaster isn't as quiet as a mouse. The way to do it is just keep playing it no matter what else.

I use Ivory bar soap to lubricate screws. The idea is to grab that tiny remnant of the soap bar out of the shower before your wife throws it away for being too small...

I believe its actually Urea rather than a cheaper type of plastic, as you used to get on guitars in the old days. last year I bought a transacoustic FG and swapped the saddle over to bone, but didn't like the sound so I swapped back. It was kind of muted and not as clear. I did find an improvement by swapping the bridge pins over to Tusq, but they needed shaving down to get a perfect fit. all the best from UK.

I have done this but I only do the saddle and I use deer antler and I can hear a difference every time but if I just do the nut by itself I do not hear a difference at all ! I have 5 accoustic guitars and the only one that has a deer antler nut is my Martin D 18 and it was done when I bought it ! I harly play the Martin anymore because I got a Norman B 20 on the curb and fixed the bridge and did a setup and made a deer antler saddle and that is the guitar I prefer now ! Who da thought that would happen ? It is hard to find a guitar that sounds as good as a Martin and if I would have got the Norman first I doubt I would have bought the Martin ! One thing about the Norman it was a demo guitar and it was the salesman sample so it was probably chosen from the pile ! I have had about 15 Yamahas over the years and I kept my FG 75 red label 3/4 size and it makes a good picker ! What I really need is a good used guitar that has had all the bad chords and notes played out of it ! LOL

I was so scared, like I really needed a stuck pin in a 60yr old guitar. I tried every tool in the junk drawer. The answer is a string winder. I never noticed that before. There's a notch that fits perfect and pulls right out. Man, feel like I dodged a bullet, can't afford some repair like that. Just don't force it, applies to most things.

it was helpful. thank you

What strings are you using on this guitar and also did you do any other upgrades?

There’s definitely more control in the sound now with the bone. It seemed like it was a little bit more spread out before now. It seems more clear, concise sharper maybe.

Thankyou for tips Drew. AWESOME. I had a guitar as a kid, and I don't think the bridge had pins, (the strings were tied on I think?). I was at a bit of a loss to know what to do with a 2nd hand guitar I bought a couple of years ago with bridge pins 😆. Your tips have been an eye opener. I am in Australia .... just so you know.

The tuner is shot with grease . By the manufacturer. Use grease. Use ptfe grease once . It will never be an issue during ones lifetime. Oil is the wrong product. As the actual manufacturer.

I thought I should let you know that when you started the first picking and strumming, I thought to myself: This would be a good guitar for Gordon Lightfoot's music, and then you started to sing If You Could Read My Mind. This also illustrates why a serious guitarist should own different instruments from different makers and different designs and eras. As much as I love my Gibson Hummingbird and my Martin D1, there are tunes which only a well made OM will make them shine.

Drew, I’m doing an Epi dot. Question: your caps, they aren’t connected to both pots like I see on gibsons LP SG etc. my stock Dot is the same as what you have there. I see that the tones left side lug has a connecting wire that goes to its respective volume pot. Is that connecting wire acting as a proxy for the typical connection of a cap to both pots? In other words, it seems a wire is taking the place of both cap legs in a typical Gibson system. Is that correct?

What’s your thoughts on doing neck resets on old Guilds?

Thanks Drew, excellent video. Would placing the K&K pickups halfway between the bridge and the soundboard produce a conflicting signal due to the different stiffness of those two areas?

Great video. lol at the comments. Everyone’s an expert

Great job thank you

I’m very happy I found this video. Fixed my buzz on an almost BRAND NEW epiphone Sheraton.

For floating trem on archtop do you run a groundwire and if so, where to?

this kind of reminds me of how humidity changes impact paint, and how certain paints and gessos are more flexible and tolerant of humidity.

Binding detaching on a Martin is not a defect, it is a feature lol.

Drew. It's happened more than once where I ordered new bridge pins (looking to go away from the plastic) for my Yamaha FG 800 only to discover they come arrive too big in circumference. I'm not inclined to drill out the bridge holes confident that there must be a manufacturer of pins who makes the proper sized pins for such a popular series of guitar?

You are a life saver 😭😭 thank you so much

What about if the switch takes more force now to move into the neck position? Still worth a shot cleaning it?

Music teacher here, salvaging students’ guitars. Super useful info!

Really helpful, thanks

Just goofing but I'd toss it no kidding .

The way to fix the bridge is take the screws closest to the pickup out , cut the strings lift the bridge straight up and to the bin . Replace with a Wilkinson( they are not very much $ but pretty good . And u got it .

My wife used to work for Klark Teknik, I just told her of this amazing discovery.....she just rolled her eyes and called me an idiot! 😁

Brilliant!

I was thinking about putting duct tape on my tele for the punk rock look but idk now I heard WD 40 gets it off though

My DXME served me well for many gigs, great sound and pretty reasonable plugged in. But after 10 years of use it did physically deteriorate: rosette decal scratched away, as you see above, couple of tuners stripped, but most seriously the top developed a pretty noticeable belly-bulge. When I last pulled it out of the case, It was still quite playable, but had lost all midrange! Lots of feelings for that old laminate Martin, but in comparison my Yamaha FG730, bought around the same time has only improved with age.
