What's wrong with this Fender truss rod?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 бер 2018
- Truss rod breaks almost always happen at the adjusting nut. Not this time. Dan Erlewine has a Fender neck in which the entire truss rod rotates along with the nut. It seems to have come apart in a really unusual way.

I love how he says “it worked!” like he was genuinely surprised when his 50+ years of experience, 7 guitar-specific tools, and sheer talent didn’t lead him astray. 😂
Repair jobs can have all kinds of curve balls appear when one would think its a straightish forward repair, so if it worked its such a relief.
Except for that rappy vibe at 3:26 when he said "go right down in there"
I was just about to comment on that statement when I seen you already did for me 😂
With over a half-century of experience, he knows better than anyone that no plan survives the battlefield. I imagine that's why he was pleasantly surprised. :)
@@EvilHippy38 Yep, that always reminds me of the quote "the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry". I've been repairing diesel tractors, trucks, and equipment for 25 years and just when I get cocky and think it is in the bag, the bottom falls out. Cheers!
So knowledgeable, makes it look so easy. Feels like watching
Bob Ross paint.
I once visited a local repair shop. They specialised in saving necks with broken truss rods. Necks where the anchor is not even accessible like this. They route from behind, extract what is broken, put in a new one and seal off with a skunk stripe. End product looks like it came off from the factory with a skunk stripe all along. Really cool.
You're a wizard, Dan.

The rod chooses the wizard
This is one of the most impressive videos I've seen in the whole massive StewMac collection. Skill and knowledge like no other in guitar repair.
Alexander Brandon lol...I know right? It's crazy how easy Dan makes these repairs look. Like he's done them a million times. ..cause he probably has! 😂
Except that using JBWeld to secure threads DOES NOT WORK. Other than that it's fine....LOL.
Yup, I would use a red threadlocker instead.
@@jcd13able No, Loctite Red weakens threads that are under heavy pressure.
I've been repairing guitars for 25 years and own my own shop, Auburn Guitar in Newbury Ohio, and all I can say is Dan is the man!
What is your shop called.
@@HunnysPlaylists Auburn Guitar
@@12south31 Do you know Dan?
@@HunnysPlaylists I do not, unfortunately.
@@12south31 Can you meet him?
only time i have ever seen a truss rod replaced
And he makes it look easy!
Before picking up swarf, wrap your magnet in kitchen paper. Then you can pull all the swarf off the magnet at one go, throw it and the paper away and leave the magnet clean.
Always coat your brown hat in caster oil for lubrication before making an entry.
What the hell is swarf hahahaha, sounds like some Lord of the Rings stuff.
@@Ibaneddie76 Swarf is the name given to any metal shavings.
Today I learned that those little shavings are called 'swarf'

Cool repair. Tip for anyone who might want to try this themselves. Before you thread the rod into the anchor, turn it to the left, when you feel the thread engage (should be a little click) then you turn it to the right to thread it in place. That'll help keep you from crossthreading the anchor and ruining your work.
i do the same thing when putting screws back into electronics. i guess the tip transfers over well.
yes and yes y use that in the drill press to not miss the punch in the steel
Definitely. The best way to do it.
Always when screwing!
I do this even when closing water bottles
I really enjoy all your videos Dan. Thanks for taking the time to make them.
It's a pleasure to see you work. Thank you for posting.
When Dan stops doing this, no one will ever fill his shoes
its like my loincloth. when i hang it up no motherfuckers cock and balls will ever fill em.
Phillip McKnight will lmaoo
Not true. Plenty of good luthiers are still out there.
We will see no other one like him in our time.
@@daviddoyle4516 Yes Thor it is true of noble Odin
So satisfying to watch that truss rod and anchor being pulled out.
These videos are an absolute pleasure to watch.
Wow, am I ever glad I found your channel. I love watching craftsmen do their job. I am going to watch them all....
Great job. Always fun to watch you work.
I've always been impressed with your repair videos, but this one, WOW! Great job!
I love watching this guy work.
I have a great appreciation for this man, He's calm and knowledgeable craftsman. Would love to spend time with him and learn the fine talents of guitar repair. He's a master !
I've been working on guitars for years mostly basic adjustments such as truss rod adjustment, action, intonation, pick up height, nut filing, replace guitar parts, etc. I still got a whole lot to learn and Dan is like the Jedi Master of guitars. 😂
Awesome, pure skill and craftmanship
Excellent work again Sir.
Always a good day when you see a stewart Macdonald video pop up in your feed.
Agreed! And this one was fantastic. It's hard not to be amazed by Dan Erlewine!
I agree!
What's the luthiers name then, Dan or Stew?
brilliant work Sir
You did a very neat work. I enjoyed and got relaxed watching this.
Such great work Dan does...!
I've learned a lot about instrument repair from Dan.
Cheers
I love this video. No fluff, right to the point.
Unbelievable. Congrats on an amazing repair.
This guy is the best guitar repairman on all of UA-cam! It's funny how similar many of the tools he uses are the same as used in machine shops and automotive repair, only smaller....many times we have to make our own tools..... Great Job like always
What a craftsman. Great work sir!
Its great to see a master craftsman who shares his skill and explains what he is doing and how to accomplish the correct results! I have learned a lot about guitar repairs. I thank him for posting these videos.
I could watch Dan work all day. And thanks to this channel, there have been some Saturdays where I pretty much did just that.
Fantastic work. Loved seeing how things are put together on my Fender.... gives me confidence in my guitar choice. thanks
Dan is something else! A rare gem.
I'm beginning to dive into the truss rod waters, and the overall guitar setup business, so this has been really helpful! Thank you!
I could watch Dan work for hours. Love these videos. So relaxing.
Glad you like them!
So terapeutic watching Dan doing his job....this was freaking genius!
Hi from New Zealand,
The Master, unbelievable wealth of knowledge of guitars! I love watching these video clips, not only does he fix the guitar, but he knows the history that goes with the guitar.
I love to watch this man working. Real master.
I'd love to see StewMac do a UA-cam show where people basically try to stump Dan with bizarre guitar problems that require clever repairs and his exceptional expertise.
It’s beautiful to watch someone comfortable in what they are doing.....respect to you sir from the U.K.
Great video I love those specialty tools an seeing them used with such skill.
I am going to watch every one of these videos they are a treasure trove of information. I am learning so much. I love UA-cam it is my go to for all types of information. Thank you very much!
Doing is one thing, but knowing what your getting into , what to expect and how to fix AND all the right tools...impressive craft and a wealth of knowledge, nice brother
Completely insane! I figured you would have to completely take it apart to figure out what happened. Great work!
Great fix as always! Thanks for sharing!
Congrats for the excellent job!...
Such an excellent video, Dan. Your skill inspires us all.
You make it look easy! Love your work!
Amazing job as always. Wow, just wow.
I really enjoy your videos.
I have a bsss that needs a truss rod adjustment, and watching you adjust a neck gives me confidence to try. Thank you Sir. 😁
I am truly inspired by StewMac videos. Great guy, awesom., Truly loves his work. Thanks
Too much respect to you sir good job and thank you for the details
It is absolutely mesmerizing watching you work, you are a true artisan, many kudos.
This is guy I would trust-trust-trust to repair my guitars... Thanks for sharing Stewart 👍
"I'm in there!" ;)
Awesome video. Wish I had a workshop with all of these tools. And I wish I had all of this knowledge. Thank you for informing us.
That was impressive. I hope there are guys like this in 30 years when us younger guitar players need them.
I love your videos so much, I wish I had your knowledge
Thats incredible. I could watch Dan all day everyday.
Excellent work.
Hey man, its an honour learn with a master like you!
Very nice! Pure Heavy Metal!

Nice fix.
This was so interesting to watch. The man is an artist.
Not many craftsman left like this guy well done
That is an amazing repair! Wow!
thank you for another lesson master.......
Love StewMac Vids !
I love these Stew MAC videos, they are all awesome. That said, I literally put these on and fall asleep listening to Dan fix guitars. My only hope is I somehow absorb some small iota of what he says subconsciously...total genius and legend.!
you have the best attitude!
Great job, Dan. An you knew it, too. I saw that little smile at the end of the flick. Glad to see you wearing your optivisor again. I was afraid that you had had eye surgery.
I love this channel. I feel like I learn so much every video.
Another great video. I always enjoy watching these.

Amazing job as always!
How I wish I could spend a few days working with you, Mr. Erlewine.
What a beautiful neck and repair both.
Very slick Dan!
Cool video! Very informative.
actual most satisfying videos to binge I love it
I love this channel so much.
That was so insightful! Great video
I love watching this channel. It reminds me of This Old House, but with guitars. Very cool.
Love the videos but I find myself waiting for a grand reveal at the end with someone jamming on the guitar lol. Thanks for posting.
i was twanging my one string bass throughout
Cool! i could watch these videos all day!
Very cool repair
Wow! You're a genius, man! You make things look easy ! 😊
You're simply a Master! Thanks for sharing your skills
How satisfying to watch a master at work and having fun 🤘🤪🎸
Really love ur work 👍👍
Most guitar repairman, would not even attempt or try to fix this damaged truss rod, fender neck, but Dan, does it like a champ. Amazing video.
Leo Fender wouldn't have. Would of just given him a new neck to bolt on.
Still a cool repair nonetheless.
At last! A video about guitar repair from someone that obviously loves his work! Very nice video. 123K + 1.
It's amazing what can be done with the right tools!
The birth of.. a truss rod. Never seen this before. jaj.. seriously great information. Really. 👍
I wish I had your knowledge ...great channel 😀
Steve Mac is a guitar genius! Things like rightie tighter, lefty loose are great advice for a truss rod!
This man.... Unbelievable amount of knowledge.
very nicely thought and done.
