    Serious question, though: anyone played Jedi Survivor yet? Worth picking up?

      Yeah I agree 100% !!! that’s the shittiest re-fret job ever ! 🤔. Guitar surgeon 🤭 FAIL!!! 😄 that hack must have used an old chipped $2 Powerfist screwdriver 🪛 and sheet metal hammer 🔨 ( don’t you have to use a press to get Gibson frets out sideways? not pried straight up? Or is that Fender? ) ( anyone who knows for sure … feel free to chime in !and let my dumb ass know , thanks in advance! 😄) , …$100 re-fret job is exactly why it is so destroyed! That seller got exactly what he paid for ! A bullshit hack job by someone who had no idea what the fuck they were doing and had no business whatsoever working on a guitar like that! What a moron that seller and his so called “Luthier” is . Wendell’s price to fix that kind of atrocity is a steal ! Man what a shit job that Wood Butcher did! anyone around where I live with skills good enough to actually fix all that damage probably would have charged at least $400-$600 cdn + maybe even more to fix that headstock break as well. All that being said … it will be a really nice axe ( that flame 🔥 maple top is actually really sweet ) and I like the Bigsby on it . 🤔 If you didn’t already have 5 other guitars 🎸 at Wendell’s… you might owe your bro a few cold ones ! 🍻😄 oh yeah and some ca$h ! Hope it all works out well for you in the end and you get the best revenge! … That thing is properly 🙂 repaired, looks great and plays like butter 🧈 🤜🏻🤛🏻

      It's a stupid correlation, anyway. Sniffing the wine cork is a check for bacteria, letting you know the wine is ruined. It's not like it's an upper crust taste thing, it's literally a check for shitty wine that no one would want...it tastes like wet dog.

    That's a first attmpt home refret job if I've ever seen one. Watched a video or two on UA-cam, ordered jumbo stainless steel fretwire from ebay (knowing it had to be "the best"), then butchered the fretboard trying to use the mechanics tools he already had in his garage to cut, fit and install the frets. Once glued into the slots, he didn’t bother to level, crown or dress the frets (considering how difficult it was for him to simply knock the ends down enough that they wouldn't make him bleed when he ran his fingers along the neck binding, using the old wood working file he found at the bottom of the tool box he inherited from his grandpa), so he just left them as is.... "my guy duz hundrid doller fret jobz"

    The guitar is admittedly cool as hollywood. I might have thrown a bid on it - had I seen it listed. That body flame is classic !. Even with the dreadful fretwork - you got something that will turn every head - and a great story lol. I love a guitar I don't have to worry about.

    You really should of sent it back. I have had to deal with sellers on eBay like this before. On in particulars refuse to take the send the shipping label and was argumentative. Ebay banned the seller refunded the money and told me It was my decision on whether or not to dispose of or keep. they went after him for the money, and he was revoked as a seller. Every product he had listed was a lie.

    That top is amazing. That would be a great project guitar if you are willing to spend the money to repair the neck correctly with splines. It will be stronger than when it first left the factory.

    You need to fix the Gibson roller coaster fretboard 😂😂😂 good luck, look at the side dots before and after the work.. bet 1mm comes off.. All the 90's we have measured are 10" radius, check before your tech picks up the 12" sand block..

      Hey Chuck, I'm not sure how paypal works in the States but, I had a douchebag do something similar with motorcycle parts, he lied through his teeth but I kept all the correspondence and had my photographer son take detailed pics. To cut a longish story short, I did a claim through both Ebay and paypal and paypal put a hold on his business account, shutting down his online payments until he rectified the problem,it's funny just how fast the fool changed his tune.... I got my money back and kept the parts...

    If his tech charges $100 for a re-fret, that explains how you get a finger board that looks that bad.

  • @ScienceofLoud
    @ScienceofLoud Рік тому

    It'll be about as much work salvaging those frets as it would be to replace them completely.
    Admittedly that is the quality of work I'd expect from a tech that only charges $100 for a refret. There's always someone who can do it cheaper.

    "My tech does refrets for $100" well if that's true that would explain the awful refret because any pro tech/luthier who knows what they're doing definitely won't charge only $100 for refrets. Especially if it's stainless steel

    I had a similar situation last fall with a set of used Mustang wheels (from a reputable vendor) that were not as advertised. I ended up having to get a full refund when the seller just would not own up to the fact that they didn’t look at them before they listed them. Not my problem as you correctly stated.

    I’m looking for a birth year guitar also and honestly you are a patient man. Personally, I would sent it back with the $200 discount comment but add that cork sniffer comment I would have sent it back. I get that the top is awesome and don’t want to regret sending it back but at the end of the day you can’t fix stupid.

    You have more patience than I have because he would've gotten that guitar back most definitely. Of course I'm pretty sure I'd have never paid whatever you paid for it either. That's the worst refret I've ever seen and there's no excuse for the damage done to the fingerboard. It looks like they just pried the other frets out and tried to beat the new ones in there. It's just crazy! Lol
