Learnt so much from this. I’ll be coming back to this one a lot for reference. Matt would you consider doing a video on making the jigs you have for routing the angles?
Have been enjoying your videos! I have recently had eye surgery and can not work in my shop. So I'm watching you in yours. Great job on all you do. I build rifles for bench rest in my shop.im really digging the pin router my invest it one some day. Well one more week for me I'm just about caught up on all your videos. Take care and thanks for the education.
Great tips as always 👍greetings from sideline luthier from Finland! 😉
A guitar of yours was featured on The Trogly Guitar Show on June 13th. It looked nice. He complimented your work mostly. He didn't like the back of the headstock where it meets the neck.
Such a good video. So many people say they’re gonna show you how to do something but then they don’t give you measurements or the method to get the measurement. I feel like I’m always searching for the number or how to get the number and I can never find it. Thanks for this!
Thank you Matt at Texas Toast for the great lessons.
great video!!! THANK YOU
Thanks for posting this one 👍. Answers a question I had!!!!
Thanks Matt. Took notes like a college student. Anxious to put into use ; I’m about at the point …
Very timely. Press on!!!
Glad it was helpful brougham, there have been a few people asking for this video for a while now
Awesome vid, Thanks! Always enjoy your content.
6:56 World: "Do you use metric or imperial?"
Matt: "...yes".
That's how I work, whatever's most convenient. Especially when doing relative dimensions.
You know it Chris. You got to be able to shift on the fly sometimes between metric and imperial as well as decimal and fractions... depending on the calipers you are using
Great video Matt, it’s about time the neck angle is addressed properly. I can’t count how many Fenders I have seen with every thing from a piece of a business card to a toothpick in the neck pocket, from the factory. Or how many guitars I have taken from duds to studs with my favorite trick, a piece of sticky back 80g sandpaper stuck in the neck pocket. If everyone would just grasp these three keys to a great playing guitar..perfect fret work to allow for a flat neck that when pitched at the proper angle= Butta
You know that's right my friend, the angle is pretty critical for a great playing guitar
So there are 2 different neck to body angles. 1. Straight like Fenders and
2 . Angled like Gibson Les paul
Hey brother. Do you have any instructional videos on nut filing, specifically string break angle filing and any tips on filing the g string? Willing to buy the video if available….thx in advance!!
Machinist with 30+ years experience here. You could eliminate some of the back and forth checking and measuring with measuring the overall thickness of the neck, determine how much to take off, and then stay at the Old Man Machine and measure the neck thickness to the number you determined. Electronic calipers also can be adjusted to your desired number, zeroed out, then the caliper will tell you how much to take off. Adding a digital scale to your machines could also eliminate using a caliper several times because they can be zeroed out just like a digital caliper. Sort of a hybrid between a CNC and handmade.
Thanks my friend, there are lots of great ways to do everything
Hey guys I don't know if you have seen it yet but the shop Rumble seat has one of your reverse firebirds and it for sale for 2500 and Trogly reviewed the listing on his channel.thought you guys might want to check that out and would get a kick out of it.if you put the news in one of your videos give your old buddy Bubba from Tennessee a shout out.have a good one guys.and hope your doing ok Cris
Is that a fact, that is pretty neat.
I'm going to look for the video now, there are so many it might be hard to find
Thanks amigo
Yea “parallel “ is the key word
Yep very well explained
For sure my man love your candidness I'm starting my guitar building business from scratch and using donated 3/4 hardwood flooring I am milling into flat pieces combination of oak cherry maple hickory your videos are much appreciated I am trying a fabric finish using SimTec ez sanding sealer per your instructions thanks again and know you will keep it real I love it🤘
🤘
Liked this a lot Matt. You and Chris have taken a bit of a shit kicking with the Covid. Really glad you're recovering well and getting back to your selves. You guys have become a channel to look forward to seeing. Thanks so much.
Anyone else just loose it when he threw his pencil, or was that just me? I had to pause the video from laughing. Brilliant comedic timing.
I wish I was that funny by design, usually it's just stuff happening to me :)
haha that was a classic pencil flip
Didn't expect you to make this video so soon, thanks! This is a different way than I've seen in past and it looks like it works pretty good. Thanks for sharing!
Respect+
Awesome lesson Matt. Cool hair too. I recently saw how long it is in a prior episode. You guys rock.
I'm impressed by how little dust is in that workshop. Your extraction system must be pretty good! The sound's a bit echo-ey though, so maybe fit some acoustic panels (or cardboard egg trays) on the walls.
We have to clean up all the time HAHAHA
The walls and floor are solid, good for fire prevention, not so great for audio.
Like I say in the video we are guitar makers first who happen to be making a few videos. You can tell when it's the other way around when you see a nice big wall of vintage tools in the background
Lots of information here. Going to have to watch this one several times 👍
Glad it was helpful Brad, looking forward to seeing you this week
@@TexasToastGuitars I think there is a different Brad coming this week. I'm out in October 😁, which is still too far away
Glad to see you're doing better Matt!
Thanks Jerry, things are going well and I'm glad to be back on Sundays
Cool shit, as always!
Thanks so much Tom
Fix the sound please. It's hard to understand what you're saying. Too much ambient sound overpowering your voice. I love Texas Toast but my ears can't get it.
Sorry man the shop is a noisy place with tall ceilings and lots of hard walls and concreate floors. Kinda exactly what you want for fire prevention and what you don't want for videos.
Yes we know he apologized up front and had a reasonable excuse. I’m sorry, but now I have to chastise you.
That was inconsiderate, it’s not all about you. It’s also about me and It didn’t bother me at all. I enjoyed it immensely like a man does in a shop where that IS the audio.
Maybe try running it through your pedal board for eq, compression and some reverb, then into the noise canceling Bose headphones. Seems probably help.
I’m working on transcripts for the hearing impaired and guys like you, but I’m back logged. He says a lot.
Turn on your captions and turn off the sound and Matt can be any voice you imagine. Like Morgan freeman or David Attenborough.
Again I’m sorry. Lol
Sounded fine to me.
Yes there is echo, but, it's a shop guys....
Not only did it sound fine for me, because I invested in proper headphone that sound great, but I appreciated the time Matt took to make the video in the first place. Furthermore there is no place else I would like to see the video and had it been overdubbed it would have sucked. Just like your first take on a solo is always best.
Matt, are you all using the short or tall hipshot bridges?
We use the tall one for our Challengers
