      Pups? Maybe a better bridge and shield the electronics, other than that I can’t think of much else that would be needed for bass. I’d basically go for anything that would improve tone and sustain to start, and then maybe put on a hip shot if you drop d a lot. Players styles vary of course, but that should be a good base level upgrade.

      w PTB (2-way passive tone circuit), Babicz bridge, and Dominger 11-pole single coil instead of the mediocre bridge pickup you’ll find in the EB-3. Added an onboard fuzz circuit.
      Absolutely fantastic instrument once modded.

    Welcome back, Sharpen My Axe! The main reason I watch this type of video is to learn more about how to maintain and adjust my guitars. I've never had much money to throw at guitars and am always looking to save. The DIY route is best for many and probably most players, because it saves the money and TEACHES you things, too. As you learn more about setting up and maintaining your axes, you lose fear and gain control. This gives the player at least a couple of reasons to learn how to do this stuff; it pays off huge!

    I know some of the reasons you set Sharpen My Axe aside, but watching all of those videos inspired me to take up setups, modifications and repair to my own guitars. Bought some basic Stew Mac, Skyscraper and Music Nomad tools to cover most of my projects. Now, my guitars are all setup exactly how I like them and swapping pickups or polishing frets is something I find a lot of joy in being able to do well all by myself. Built 4 Partscasters and modified a couple of my other instruments to where I love them and play more. Really rewarding to be able to do it yourself. Hope to see more of these types of videos because of how well you teach and explain. 🤘🫡

    As a woodworker I can vouch for Titebond, that stuff will never come apart, the wood will shred around it first. Definitely wipe it while it's wet or it will be much harder to remove without damaging the finish, and they also have waterproof versions, not that it should be needed for a guitar I can't imagine sweat would impact this. I have the same exact vintage Korean Epiphone I bought new after college in '92, though mine is the custom looking model. It's still a really great playing guitar.

    I bought an Expensive LP Standard EPI a couple of yrs ago, after a few months of playing it, i opened the case and the headstock fell off. It was almost a clean break right at the nut, with not much angle. I dont ever recall dropping the case or knocking the guitar. Lucky to find a good tech here in Oz $150 au. Has played great since being repaired. We need more guys like you over here Phillip..👍

    This is exactly what happened to my Ovation Deacon 12 string. It got knocked over and it cracked just like this along the fretboard. I took it to a luthier thinking it probably couldn't be fixed since it's a 12 string but he did and I can't even see the crack . I asked him how in the world he fixed it and this was the process he described. It's been about 5 years and it still plays like new. I love learning how to do things like and I appreciate you showing us how !

    Great video, and great advice as always! I used to be really hesitant about attempting to fix my own guitars when I was younger; I thought guitars were held together with magic. But once I got my head around how it’s just some pieces of wood with frets and some electrics attached to it I realised I could probably fix anything myself! Videos like this are what gave me the confidence to have a go at most repairs myself!

      Old carpenter here. Titebond 1 dries kinda hard. Good for basic repairs of wood that wont move much. Titebond 2 awesome and kinda more flexible. Perfect for strong cabinet joints, guitar necks, nuts, wood veneer. Fast setup time, so dont let it dry much before cleaning it up. Titebond 3 is an exterior weatherproof kind of glue. Really made to be outdoors and strong as well. To unglue things we use a hair dryer or heat gun. So think about that for a minute. 🤣

Easy on the glue, easy on the polishing, sanding, heat, etc. That "sharpening" can lead to more damage if not done carefully.

    A lot of players look down on the neck scarf joints on Epiphone necks but they are supposed to be stronger than a one piece neck. I guess the fact that the neck did not break and only the fret board lifted a little proves this to some extent. My 1998 Epiphone Les Paul standard has never missed a beat and I've played the life out of it. It's still my favourite Les Paul even over my 2010 Gibson Slash signature and the Slash Les Paul is a mighty fine guitar.

      @@Kommander_Rahnn They're not uneven, they're pitted from string pressure. Phil said as much later in the video (and I apparently jumped the gun with my comments).
      If you change the heights of the frets, you should always re-cut the nut. In this case, the original probably wasn't cut properly to begin with. So it's a good opportunity to replace it with a better material and carve it properly.
