Hi Friend, indeed, very nice and accurate repair on this magnificent Fender Jaguar. I wish you will install a new decal and revarnish the whole neck to make it last for a long time : this guitar needs its name ! Otherwise, you're an excellent luthier and I like the way you work. See you next video...
Thank you so much for your kind comment. Of course there is the possibility to make this Neck like new but I rather keep it worn and let him tell his story... and to make you curious🙂 the Guitar will become his Name in the next episode Part 3 ...not by a Decal then more in a extraordinary way 🙂Best Regards Nik
Absolut super Handwerk . Echt klasse Arbeit . Wenn du bei den zukünftigen Videos noch das herumwirbeln der Werkzeuge und des Materials lässt sieht es noch professioneller aus . !
Vielen herzlichen Dank Guido. Ja das ist so eine Angewohnheit von mir ... Das mach ich auch wenn ich kein Video aufnehme. Aber Danke für die Anregung. BG Nik
Alles gut . War nur eine Anregung . Dafür handwerklich absolut Spitze . Und ich weiß wovon ich rede . Grosses Kompliment . Bitte weiter so ! Gruss Guido
Actually grain orientation in dowels occurs lengthwise, whereas plugs grain orientation occurs across the width. The neck bolt holes implemented plugs for the repairs, not dowels. Good video, thanks.
Fascinating to see the hard work and attention to detail it takes to bring these vintage instruments back to playable condition. Definitely more work involved on these round lam fingerboards. Thankyou for sharing your process and best regards fro Australia.
@@petrekguitars No idea. Will priobably depend on average pricing in your area, but at least as much as building a new neck, I guess? Also, it could depend on the price of the actual vintage piece, so...

@@petrekguitars Seriously, this is like therapy. It is very relaxing, and watching the way you carefully repair the damaged pieces is especially useful. I would not attempt a repair like this but seeing the tools and how you use them is helpful.
@@Slugg-O Thanks Mate this is really motivating...Everyone can do this it's ... You just have to keep on working and collecting experience and you will get better and better every day...Best Regards Nik
Really enjoying this restoration. One of the best guitar luthier UA-camrs I've seen. Now subscribed and can't wait for the next episode of this one ! 🙂👍
@@petrekguitars Cheers Nik. I find the restoration of old/vintage instruments and their history absolutely fascinating. I've got a small collection of guitars and UA-camrs like you give me the confidence to be able to tackle some of the smaller jobs myself.

I'm not even half through the video (very interesting and entertaining so far. As always!), but I have to share MY thoughts about the messed up neck threads. To me, it looks like the neck broke off at one point, tearing the screws out and taking wood fibers from the neck with them. Those "slots" you are about to fill (at 11:20), you know? What do yout think? Erneute Grüße aus Aachen! :) Markus
Hey Markus, vielen herzlichen Dank. Ja das ist auch eine Möglichkeit. Mache lösend die Schrauben nur und holen den Hals gar nicht aus der Tasche… könnte dabei passiert sein, dass die Holzstückchen dabei ausgerissen sind 👍BG Nik
The hilarious thing is that Leo would have just straight up replaced that neck, meanwhile you're even plugging chipped wood with new maple. Also, I didn't know you could get glue on the truss rod. I thought that would hinder its ability to be adjusted, but you're the luthier and I'm just a layman who likes seeing things being fixed
Thanks for your positive feedback. You are absolutely correct Leo‘s concept was if the neck is damaged…. Replace it… therefore he made this bolt on neck construction 😉👍 The glue doesn’t influence the Trussrod function. No worries it’s covered with a plastic tube. Best Regards Nik
@@MuscleCarLover Ah... There will be 5 Parts in total till this Repair is finished🙂Part 3 is coming up on Friday in two weeks. Enjoy the Video and stay tuned... Best Regards Nik
It looks like your workshop is located in an attic of some sort. What do you do about dust? Or what kind of dust collection do you use? Great video's by the way, really enjoy watching them!!

Love it! can I ask... why not a flat to flat fingerboard to neck glue joint? looks like you've got a 6.5mm/.25" fingerboard ?? is it keeping with the vintage fender thin fingerboard method??
Amazing video!! sorry for my English, I'm Italian, but I have a slight doubt. I thought that the radius (7.25") was done after gluing the rosewood fingerboard, but instead I see that you gave the curvature before the fingerboard. my question is this: did you give a curvature in the rosewood section that will be glued??? I follow you because you are a very good and very precise luthier!
Thank you so much for you positive feedback and for your interest in my Craftsmanship. Yes I will show and explain the process in Part 3 of this Repair Series. It will be released on Friday in two weeks 👍Best Regards to Italy. Cheers Nikola
Wieder super Folge und super Arbeit. Ich wusste gar nicht, dass das Griffbrett von hinten auch gewöblt ist, bzw der Hals selbst. Ist das bei allen Fenders so? Warum macht man das? Plan wäre doch viel einfacher in der Herstellung!? English: Another great episode and great work. I didn't realise that the fingerboard is also arched from the back, or the neck itself. Is that the case with all Fenders? Why do they do that? Plan would be much easier to manufacture!
Hey Michael, vielen herzlichen Dank freut mich sehr, dass Dir meine Arbeit gefällt. In dem Dritten Teil erkläre ich das mit der Griffbrettwölbung bzw. Halswölbung. Fender gar das von 1962-1980 so gemacht ich denke um Material zu sparen 😉Davor und danach wurde die Teile mit gerader Oberfläche verleimt. BG Nik
Thanks for sharing your opinion. I decided to go for a Indian Rosewood Fretboard. I use to work with Brazilian Rosewood and its a amazing Wood but you have so much trouble these days getting good quality material and to be honest I don't wanna support the hype .... it`s all about marketing ( and profit) in the Instrument building Industry and I don't wanna be a part of it..... Hope you understand my point of view. Best Regards Nik
Thanks for your question. The Trussrod is installed with a curve and if you tighten it will get straight and this is how it works pretty simple.👍Best Regards Nik
@@BenParks Thanks for your question Ben. Correct the Trussrod has to stay in his position (if it turns it doesn't work) and by tightening the screw at the end you apply pressure and you straighten the Trussr0d and the neck. Check out my Video about How to break a Truss Rod there is a quite short explanation about the function of the Truss Rod. Best Regards Nik
Ah really that interesting 👌But the first digit „1“ is representing the Model not the Date of the month. So 1 Stands for Jaguar 2 for Jazzmaster and so on.. Best Regards Nik
Thanks for your feedback. Yes this can be quiet risky but if you are used to it it’s very effective. I use this technique for cutting my nails too🥴🙈Best Regards Nik
@@DavidMinter-mc4yn Thanks for your question. The problem was that the attachment at the end of the Trussrod was also loose 🥴So I have to remove it. Best Regards Nik
I am patiently waiting for part three, where you cut off the headstock and turn it into a headless Jaguar with the vibrato and yet you are still able to tune it. Too much to ask?😉🤨
6:40 I like your attention to detail, and your ingenuity, but the original filler strip would not have been machined with a curve. It would have been cut just slightly wider than it needs to be, glued and clamped in the slot, pressing the rod down and bending into shape. I used to work in a guitar factory and we used a big vacuum jig for this. By the time it is machined level with the neck there is little left of the filler strip and any residual tension in that timber has no effect on the neck. I do love your videos though, and I also enjoy working on guitars with this kind of meticulous attitude. 9:20 Ugh, that makes me really cringe when I see doweling used to repair stripped holes. Whoever did this is not a woodworker. They are far too big, but more importantly, putting a neck screw into end grain is a bad idea. I would recommend soaking the threads with thin CA. Thanks for another nice video. Looking forward to the fretboard!
Thanks a lot for your positive feedback and for sharing your experience. I didn’t know that and it very interesting to hear how this process was done. Thanks Mate you are welcome and I love to learn new things. Best Regards Nik
Hello Rob, I'm sorry I didn't quite understand your explanation of the straight filler strip. How does the truss rod get a bend? Is the filler strip sucked down and bend by these vacuum device? Could you explain it differently? What do you mean by CA? is that a glue? Thank you Michael
@@michaelmcsky The channel for the rod has a curved bottom. The filler strip is only as tall as the deepest part of the channel less the rod's diameter. So it is narrow enough to bend under clamping pressure. Where I used to work this clamping pressure was created with a large plastic sheet that covered ten necks at a time. Then the air was evacuated and the filler strips were sucked down, pushing the rod down and following the shape of the route.
Kak sam glup ,pa mogu u postavkama ubrzat video ,ima tog dosta za gledati.😂 I nadam se da moj Rick neće morat pod tvoj hoblić zbog trussroda . Naručil sam ključ za one glupe šarafe da okrenem il ne😅
