Been learning from Dan since the 80’s when he did articles in Guitar Magazine. Done all my own repairs and set ups for the last 40 years. Dan is a legend 🏆
It's been years ... I watch many of your videos teach me how to fix various of problem for my own guitar ... and it help me fixed my problem so many times Glad to see You continue doing this .... Thanks
If our digitally overloaded times is good for one thing it is the retention & distribution of knowledge. More so than the printing press, the internet has a reach and permanence that is jaw dropping. I bought several of Erlewine's books in the 90's and for most stuff just seeing black & white pictures wasn't enough to fully grasp the techniques needed to do fine work. These videos are priceless and make doing these repairs much less nerve wracking. Trussrods, pots, soldering, pickups, and action setups used to make me nervous but now I am much more comfortable with it. Not an expert by ANY means but I am much more secure in messing with my guitars...
...I can't believe there is a video on this...I have one high fret bugging me on one particular song....4 guitar shoppes told me they don't do fret work !!...One does but is 100 miles away....This video is fantastic...
Yep. Invest in the tools to do it yourself in that case. It really is just a ton of time and care. Which is why so many shops know they cannot do it. Good luck.
I picked up both of his books early on in my playing days.... Dan is kind of my guru for guitar work. I consider getting those books among the best guitar decisions I ever made actually. Happy to stumble into his videos on youtube.
I'm a proud member of the old school. Thank you sir I can see you reside there as well. Your video's are informative, well thought out, and show real solutions that work. Bravo you have earned my support 🤗
I figured out I can do the same rocking technique on the frets with a credit card, Very useful for vintage guitars especially when you just don’t wanna remove and replace frets again. I have extremely low action on my guitar now with no buzz And that pesky 13th fret was so high up when it rocked I almost always had to play with sitar-style action, essentially almost a quarter inch off the fretboard but now ever since I filed it, it’s not buzzing anymore! Glad this video exists. Highly recommend checking your frets from time to time. Remember to also use an action that a credit card with no indentation like a gift card, not a credit card, Since most cards are 0.7 mm thin by average, this should give you a perfect guide so you can easily setup a tremolo bridge with little problems even if your a beginner.
Mr. StewMac you are A- no. 1 when it comes to working on guitars. We can learn a lot from you, thanks to your videos. What I would like to know is, say for instance you have more than one fret that's not leveled, can it still be done using this procedure, or will it be better to remove the strings?
These videos are always the best. You can learn so much from these videos. Would you have a video on tune-o-matic style saddles and notching them. I have an issue with one of my saddles and watching a video on this topic would likely be very helpful. Thanks as always.... Philip NYC Area
Hi Philip! Here's a link to our video "How to notch the saddles on your Les Paul" ua-cam.com/video/MJsLKfrttaU/v-deo.html and here's an article delving deeper on the job. www.stewmac.com/video-and-ideas/online-resources/hardware-installation/are-you-supposed-to-slot-tune-o-matic-bridge-saddles.html
Oh man you are just amazing, you are the king of all the guitar fixtures and fittings in the world, God just graced you. Thank you so much for all the videos you make for us.
Now that was straight to the point and so helpful, now I know what to buy and how to file the frets 👍👍 the older generation is all business, if this was some young person the video would be like 25 minutes to show you 2 minutes of what your looking for. Great video straight to the point!!
Putting marker on the fret is a great tip! Wish I knew that the first time I did a level job. Probably removed more material than I actually needed to.
And then they'll pull some stupid theory out of their arse about what it was used for. I've seen enough Time Team videos to know that's true. Take that time they found a metal "finger stylus" during a Roman dig. They said it was used like a pen, but anyone who's ever seen a finger pick knows exactly what it was... and the comment section reflected that. Sometimes so-called 'experts' have no earthly idea what hell they're talking about. =)
@@jamesanthony8438 your 'finger stylus' example was quite good.. a show or even a documentary is more on the entertaining side of things, not really meant to be a 'scientific paper'. imagine a person that studied a particular area/culture/history for 50 yrs, they don't need input from the comments' section (not saying that 'the public' is clueless). we shouldn't confuse reality shows w/ reality, as you've stated, the so called experts are exactly that: non-experts. but experts do exist and most of them don't have time to do makeup and appear on shows :}
@@duroxkilo I discovered something else that it could possibly be this past year, as well. I've seen things like that used for hand stitching/sewing as a thimble on an index finger so the seamstress doesn't stab herself with the needle. =)
@@jamesanthony8438 lol, that's great.. i've used those before w/ my nana, they can go on any finger as they come in dif sizes; it's main use is to help push the needle thru thicker fabrics. for leather they had to use pliers to actually pull the needle thru (a needle w/ a specialized tip)
Many thanks. I have purchased a 40 years old L-5 for my son and its in terrific condition, however, the previous owner / luthier has set the action very low and the neck dead flat. The nut is cut perfect but again low - finger on the 3rd fret I can just get a thin card under the first fret. It all plays fine except the low E and A strings around the 15th fret which are buzzing I can adjust this out by raising the saddle on that side of the bridge but that feels like a fudge. I suspected a high fret and it may be a little movement in the rosewood due to age / storage - it hasn't been played for a few years. First thing I will do is a gentle tapping down on the suspect fret(s) which might be enough. If not I will follow your approach to level. TBH I am stunned at the condition, not even any cracking in the finish around the bone nut or set neck joint. The cream finish is discolouring in places but that simply adds authenticity, natural ageing. No buckle rash on the rear. The gold plated finish on the hardware is a little tarnished although jewellers cloths are bringing the shine back gently. Thanks again and best wishes from Guernsey near France.
Dan Erlewine, you are a true craftsman in every sense of the term . . . I really like those "prehistoric filing sticks" you made back in the day . . . I've home made/hand made similar tools for non-guitar applications & will probably adapt this technique for precision guitar work. Appreciate your videos sir. Thank you. All the best to you & yours Dan & stay well !!!
I fought getting this forever. I just got an Epi. LP that I love with 1 high fret. This is the way, I finally just ordered one with an understring file. Thank you!
That Harmony Arch-top looks very similar to mine. I had to have the top of the ebony bridge replaced and filed down to lower the string action. It was less expensive and cleaner than having the neck removed, altered and reset.
I have been a StewMac lover for over 10 years. ordered many things. parts. hard to find fixes. I just found StewMac UA-cam.... LOVE IT !!!! Now. How do I order a Paper book ? I should be on StewMac Database . bathroom reading and thinking.
This guy has is a master. I have to say though, the bought tools here (not his stick files - love those) are mostly unnecessary. This is just a way to sell tools you don’t need. No reflection on this fella though - he’s great. Chances are the majority of us don’t have his skill and experience - so working in between the strings like this is likely to damage something. Just take the strings off to work on frets.
Dan is the very definition of "luthier". As others have said, I could watch him work on a guitar all day long. What a wealth of knowledge and skill he has!

Magical craftsmanship. In this disposable and plastic world these skill sets need to be passed on and preserved.

@PrinceFcknCharming why does it matter?
PrinceFcknCharming thought u meant u got annoyed with ppl bringing up COVID, my bad
@PrinceFcknCharming Nice to see you’re living up to your handle.
Nice way to put it. I discovered a lot during the lockdown and this is one of my favorites. Such mastery as Dan displays and shares is so valuable.

In a 1000 years some archaeologist will dig up the two fretting sticks and wonders what the heck people from the stone age used them for.
And then they'll pull some stupid theory out of their arse about what it was used for. I've seen enough Time Team videos to know that's true.
