Satisfying fret nibs removal on Gibson Les Paul Traditional
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 січ 2024
- As I said earlier, stainless jumbo frets are very popular here. Of course, it's not necessary to remove the nibs for such refrets. Someday I'll show you a video of refret with nibs saving or reconstruction. But not today 🙃
Also we launch YT sponsorship, and already have educational content about fretworks.
Detailed description of video, tools and agents used will be a bit later on my Patreon.

Thank you for great feedback! Also want to inform you about YT scam. Scammers pretend to be me, tell you that you win something (or other nonsense) and you need to talk outside the platform.
If you see messages like this - report and block 😉
Hello. I hope you see this message. I see you were slotting an unslotted bridge. I recently purchased one and the company I bought it from said there are plenty of UA-cam videos out there showing what to do with this. There isn’t from what I found. One of the videos showed them pounding a string to create the slot. Do you recommend us or just filing the groove?
I wish I could report the scammers. I get the same message every time I watch one of your videos. It's always someone who goes under your name on telegram. It's in the notifications, but that only gives me the option to "mute" that person. No option to report them, or block them. YT is such a joke sometimes.
yes I had this with Gabriela Quevedo! I'm crazy I paid and I went to the airport message telling me chat on telegram lol Africans group men escros crooks who are making fun of you!!!!! always ask for the cam to see if it's really the person talking to you :) now you know it's bullshit!!! and the artist gabriela or others are now free of guilt :)
@@AQMusic10 Google "slotting guitar saddle" and check out what StewMac has to say about this or go to a Luthier and ask them to do it for you.
How hard or easy is it to replace the frets and save the nibs and use stainless steel frets? Thank you for all your video's. I enjoy and appreciate them!!!
No flashy intros or rock music while talking all the time. Pure craftsmanship, great video!
10:34 The trademark sneeze! it's fast becoming a tradition. Great job as always!
Yes, it's so adorable 🥰
i love your work you do, you dont just fix it and move on to the next, you put your heart and soul in to making sure its done correct and you care about the instrument you are working on. so thank you for sharing your craft with us.
Thank you so much!
Tanya, thank you for the love you showed this old Gibson
We can feel the love you put into each piece you work on. Simply mesmerizing.
You do such beautiful work Tanya. It’s a pleasure to watch and learn from your videos.
Tanya, I recently discovered your channel and it's been a real pleasure watching you work with such professionalism, keep up the good work, you are really amazing.
Thank you so much!
I absolutely love your videos. Puts me in a zen place.
Great craftsmanship and attention to detail. You treat the guitar with respect.
Except she removed the fret nibs
It is a pleasure to be able to watch the restoration of a musical instrument performed by an international professional like Tanya. Greetings from Brazil
Porra, onde a gente vai nessa internet tem um misera de um BR falando.
Perfect! That was great work. Almost like a luthier ASMR video, so relaxing. Thank you
Don't know why but it's always a pleasure look and listen to your work.
I found it relaxing and somehow it gaves me a bit of satisfaction when the final result comes out.
Thank you!
I would really like to refret my first guitar, and all these refretting videos are giving me undeserved confidence in thinking I can do it myself, lol.
Love you're work! Can't wait for the next video.
As tempting(easy) as it may seem, I wouldn't venture bro!
If you really wanna try, do it on some cheap guitars that are already in a bad shape!
Grab a cheap guitar and giver it a go!! I did my first refret a while back, I even re-radiused the fingerboard... it was a cheap Glarry Strat that I made into a reverse pattern Rory Gallagher Strat... I'm really happy with the way it turned out. I done a video on my channel and would love to know what you think?
Just take your time with it if you do. I mean worst case scenario you REALLY chew up the board and have to take it to a professional anyway 😂 But seriously just do a good deal of research too..
It just takes time. It's doable with today's tools. I even went stainless. The difference is professionals would take maybe less 8 hours, I took over 1 day lol. I had to be careful.
Great video! It was almost therapeutic to watch your skill and technique. Thank you!
You are very talented and it's always a pleasure watching your videos.
Thank you)
Always learn something from watching your videos. Thank you.
Amazing work and attention to detail!!!
Excellent work as always
Very thorough and detailed, I hope you always stay healthy. greetings from Indonesia
Very very good work. You are a very skilled worker and know your craft.
I’ve only just discovered this channel. Excellent uploads. Thank you. Subbed!
Once again such a Great job Tanya.
I love your videos. You are super talented luthie/tech. Keep them coming!
Thank you!
always a good day when you drop a new video :)
You just made a cold day much warmer and brighter. You are awesome! And I know why you solder the frets.
Thank you!🫶
Excellent video, thanks Tanya. And I love your nails!
Great job as always. Love to watch your videos.
I greatly enjoy your excellent work and your videos. Thank you for sharing your skill.
You truly are a gifted young woman I enjoy watching all your videos I hope happy ness shines on you brightly.
So talented, first class work
You inspired me! Awesome work ❤
Great work, as always!
I find myself really looking forward to your videos.. I think I'm becoming addicted!
Another awesome job Tanya.
every time i see you replace frets it's magic.
Amazing work!
I once had a Les Paul with a “bowling ball” finish called Brunswick Blue, a beautiful dark blue with golden flecks in the finish. As I watched you work the thought of that finish on your fingernails just popped into my head.
Very nice work! And I like the new nails too. 😊
Great job Tanya. I like the choice of jumbo frets on that LP. The nut seemed to have problems - so you took care of fitting a new one. Cheers
Yesss! The fret work is always my favorite part. I could watch you solder & pull frets for hours. And when it's a grungy fretboard that needs a good sanding? Helloooo
its really fun to watch someone else do things pretty much the same way as I do, the difference is that you make great high quality videos, and I almost never have time to film videos of my guitar repairs...I will try to make videos more often now as soon as i get some interesting guitar that is worth making repair video about.. I will consider to buy something from your store to support you.. thanks.
Thank you so much!
Great work, Tanya!
I may be an exception, I don't know, but to me the whole refretting process is way more satisfying than cutting the nibs, and especially more when it is done with passion and soul. More refret content please ! (even though I understand you don't really choose what the client brings you to work on)
This is like therapy! ❤
That is some good quality work right there
It may have taken me best part of a week to finally get to watch this but as always worth it!
Amazing how much difference no nibs makes to the look (for the better too in my opinion) and nice to see someone else top-wrapping the bridge :) its the future i tell thee ;)
Great work as ever lass
On a side question what file are you using for crowning? Im currently doing the job with foam/rubber home made tool and sand paper, when i say it takes a while im being kind.
beautiful work as always!
Thank you!
Very satisfying seeing such craftsmanship! Oh, and gazuntite!
Thank you ☺️
Nice work as always ❤❤❤ 🤘
Awesome as always!!
Your work is amazing, i watch a lot of your videos. Hugs from Argentina.
Thank you 🙏🏻
@@TanyaShpachuk you welcome. 🙂👍🏻
People asking why the fret nibs weren't kept... You basically have to completely redo the binding on the neck to have them. At the Gibson factory, they set the frets in before the neck is bound. They put a wider than needed binding on and hand file it flush with the fingerboard, and then actually fastening the nibs to the fret ends is a whole other challenge.
Check out Bassboi's Garage channel if you want to see the nibs saving
Looking your Videos is like meditation. Great work 👍
That fretboard was ddrryyyy. Good job.❤
Another great video! Thanks!
Beautiful work. A big heello from Brazil, Tanya and team
great video. Thank you so much!
Howdy Tanya nice looking Les-paul! Love watching the magic you do to any instruments. Take care 🎉
Great job you do on those instruments. You can actually see your experience, when you handle those jobs! Your Beautiful Tanya keep smiling 👍😊🙏
Nice work on the new bridge too.
Always a pleasure!
Gorgeous work! 🙂
Thank you!
Did anyone else catch that sneeze? So cute!
Amazing job Tanya as usual !!! 👍
From Bordeaux, France 🍷🎸🎶
Nice work! 💖
Great looking flame top. Also I like the meticulous work
Very skilled hands 👍
Excellent video
This is so satisfying and frustrating to watch! Why didn’t I start doing this as a younger man!? Amazing skill ❤ from Los Angeles
I always watch this channel, even though I haven't subscribed 😄, I like guitar and like what this creator does, warm greetings from Indonesia
Love watching !🙂
You'r Amazing Tania Thanks For Sharing.
Very nice Tanya
Awesome work. 👍🎸
thanks
Розумничка, вмілі та золоті ручки! Хай щастить!
Great work.
As always, you do beautiful work Tanya! Slava Ukraini from the USA❤️!
Cringe
Thank you. I have a tribute SG with the nibs and have long wanted to remove them and refret it. But I worried the nibs were hollow and would leave holes in the binding that new fret ends wouldn't cover. You make it look so easy!
Nice work 👍
Bless you! Great job! 🇨🇦👏🏻
Great work!! Just found your channel, Subscribed!!
Thank you!🫶
Thanks for the video. 😃
Love the captions
That was a tuff nut to crack😂
Love watching you work
Great work!
Thank you!
Tanya! you do great work. I hate the fret nibs, and on every Gibson I’ve had refretted, i request the fret be over the binding. Great job!!
Love the T-shirt slogan!
Really high quality work. I'd prefer to keep the nibs, that's just myself.
I see a lot of people requesting to remove the nibs, because the thinner E starts getting stuck as the nibs wear with time.
A guitar with red frets would look amazing!!!
Like your work and I just subscribed.
nice job
BEAUTIFUL Fretends! :) I personally don't like the ball-like ends and such beautiful more traditional fret-ends I don't see as much today. Thank you for sharing.
Good Work Tanya Montreal Canada
BRILLIANT.
Hi! Thank you for the great videos and great work you do! What's that liquid in cotton just before you are removing CA glue with the chisel? (acetone?)
I was surprised to see the bridge go on with the intonation screws facing away from the neck, every Les Paul I have ever seen has them facing the neck so they aren't obstructed by the strings breaking over the saddles.
Im super stoked to see that youve wrapped he strings around the stopbar.. far far far more comfortable to play, Im surprised that this is not the default way
I was frustrated to see the top-wrapped stop bar. That is just wrong.
Better to string as usual, the raise the stop tailpiece til you get the tension you want. That way you can keep the angle the strings go over the bridge at at high as possible. A lot of bridges are not high enough to keep the angle with a wrap over. I have done it that way for 40 years on all my bridge/stop tailpiece guitars.
E un grande piacere guardare i tuoi Video e vederti lavorare.
Sei una grande profesionista
Un grande liutaio.
Complimenti
Mi farebbe piacere 😊
You really know what you are doing! Every video is a a pleasure to watch. Keep on the good work!
Bless you
