Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Always interesting and educational!
What's the old saying, "Measure twice, cut once."? Your thoroughness & attention to detail are the exact qualities that make you the highly skilled luthier that you are!!!!!!! I don't want anyone working on one of my instruments unless they approach it with the same or a VERY similar mindset!!!!!!!
Wow incredible,,, I learned so much from you,,, thank you .
Very interesting watching your thoughts as you work through the problems. Like we’re right there with you.
Thanks; a fascinating story. I remember many years ago replacing the nut on a guitar of mine. The intonation was off when I'd done it. I wondered why, and looked closely. The nut was a cheap 'off the shelf' moulded one, and I noticed a slight gap between the nut and fingerboard - that is to say, the middle region of the nut wasn't flush with the fingerboard edge. The gap was probably only slightly over 1/32" - but it was enough to throw off the intonation, because once I'd removed the nut and sanded it flat, everything was fine.
Great shots inside the guitar. Love
Im only
High wire Lutherie.
If you measure from the first fret to the 12th it would have to be the same, unless some other fingerboards from some other source were used. manufacturing diffences or a handmade replacement.
If the fret board was removed and shortened, wouldn't you see evidence of that where the fret board meets the sound hole?
triage" haha I worked ER triage for years
What fret wire would they have been using in 62? I don’t think they were using the bar anymore whatever fret wire it is might be a clue to the mystery but with the amount of where that fingerboard must’ve been on for a very long time
Someone may have cut a 1/64 or so off of the end of the fingerboard at the nut. I read somewhere that Taylor shortens their fingerboards at the nut end a VERY small amount for some kind of compensation that I don’t remember. Taylor knows what they are doing and I didn’t because I tried it ONE time. A little knowledge can get you in trouble sometimes.😢
What temperature is your iron and what temperature do you consider a lot for that?
It’s not the original neck?
