Rory Gallagher's Telecaster 1963. The most expen$ive guitar on my bench. Jim Lyttle's 'Rogue Male'

- Rogue Male came together at the end of 1983, with Jim Lyttle as the creative force behind the band. Lyttle left Northern Ireland to form his own band in London, after leaving Pretty Boy Floyd and the Gems, which was, by his own admission, the first punk band, before the Sex Pistols were even out of their nappies. With a bright idea to make a different band that would have its own distinctive sound, he put together a four piece and named them Rogue Male; which best describes them, both in attitude and belief -being outside the norm, no compromise, no conformity-the ultimate rebels. Time has certainly made the founding members a little less rebellious and they have shed their bad boy image, without it making any difference to the quality of their music.
Beautiful guitar!
Great job, well done ! You take the right approach, minimal intervention and incremental intervention if time deems it necessary; reversible methods whenever possible.
Thanks for sharing !
Eccentric, meticulous, great sense of humour and an animal lover, what more could a Rogue Male want from a guitar luthier, I am so pleased Austen, thank you Sir!
Pull that piece from the neck. Cut a slot, remove the trussrod. Replace the trussrod and inlay a skunk stripe. You will need to keep the piece that was pulled and shape it to fit. It will work.
Removing the fret boards as a no no... and the client is always right. :-)
@@LennonLuthierFinagler there is a difference in what the client wants and what you will put your name on as a repairman. And apparently you will settle with pretty low standards.
@@donnyhall2535 LOL - so you would dictate to the client... good luck with that. LOL
@@LennonLuthierFinagler I absolutely would. It's either it's done properly or he needs to find an idiot to bondo his busted shit. Because I'm not putting my name on junk.
@@donnyhall2535 I'm glad you are not a physician...and you should be too.
You should have used clear fingernail polish and dye it with your stain. The polish is a nitrocellulose based lacquer. It would have been the same as the finish that was on the neck.
The neck has no finish on it... bare wood with decades of human polish... and I didn't trust any liquid glue to be used on the crack, it may have slipped into the truss rod.... and as the fret board being removed was off the table I used semi-hard epoxy which would not sink.... although, I suspect at some time in the future, removing a chunk and replacing it will be the way to go... but we're monitoring the current repair.
"Valuable in terms of sound for the owner"??? Hes got EMGs for fucks sake...body may as well be made of concrete with those pickups
I think you will find that the owner of this guitar is a very successful rocker and the previous owner is considered one of the finest guitarists of all time. Look past the guitar snobbery and listen to the sound of the guitar. One of the best pickups I have heard recently is one on a Chinese Gibson.... it's about the sound sir, not the logo.
@@LennonLuthierFinagler yes..and EMGs are passive pickups that have a sound all their own. Assuming someone's success dictates their ability to hear tone sounds more snobbish than me stating the facts about EMG pickups and the tone they produce.. based on their construction and magnet composition. I own a few sets myself and know their limitations based on their installation.
@@shtdaprdtr It's just hilarious that you try to argue about the "Valuable in terms of sound for the owner" statement.
@@neocollective why is that hilarious? EMGs are active 1 trick pony pickups that are consistent across most applications??
Why not routing out a cavity and fill it with wood? Same amount of work but with durable result. Don't assume that a splice of epoxy makes something strong, because it doesn't. In that case you can as well use ducttape. To be honest ... if you want to know when to stop ... this was just that moment to consult a real luthier.
Thanks Euh.... I thought I had explained the reasons for the way I did the repair clearly in the video. Been doing Luthier work for some 45 years... maybe more. Only if the epoxy shows any signs of breaking damage will I take the next step... which maybe removing the fretboard or inserting wood. This very expensive guitar is now only going to be used for studio work. Thanks for you interest.
