De-glossing an acoustic guitar neck
"When a guitar has a glossy neck, it can often feel ""sticky"" when playing. Whether it's from hand sweat or high humidity, having a sticky guitar neck makes playing a bit less joyful.
In this video, I show how I use high-grit car polishing sandpaper to de-gloss an Alvarez acoustic guitar neck, making it look like it came from the factory that way.

Bear Affair 2024 Acoustic Guitar (Full Build)

The Bear Affair is an annual event that raises money for children who have suffered abuse.

Zwitch Guitars 0006 | Strat / Les Paul mashup!
Просмотров 2768 месяцев назад
For this commissioned guitar build, we started with a simple question: "Instead of a Les Paul Goldtop, what if @mikeness117 (from @socialdistortion ) was playing a Strat?" Ultimately, the build went in a slightly different direction as a mash-up of the best features of a Les Paul and a Strat, to make a P-90-equipped guitar that sounds great clean and distorted. #socialdistortion #luthier #ggbo

3D Printing a Guitar Fret Bender

    Have you put any coat of sealer or primer before tv yellow color and does it make any difference if you apply sealer/primer?

    • @zwitchguitars
      @zwitchguitars 3 дня назад

      It depends on the look you are going for. You never *have* to use primer with lacquer on raw wood, but many people do since sealer is cheaper than lacquer with pigment in it. It also depends on whether you are going for the “authentic” Gibson TV yellow style (which I wasn’t). If you search a bit, some people go into great detail if you want that specific finish

    Is it possible to reshape the pickguard using a box cutter? I don't have access to any of this tools but I have a cutter. The pickguard is almost 3mm thick. So it needs a lot more push to do an incision on the plastic. I hope it will work I've never seen anyone posting videos vutting a pickguard with only a box cutter.

    Hello sir. You should not have glued the neck back on with that gap at the bottom of the heel. And why did you put glue on the ends of the neck joint? There is almost always an air pocket there and the neck does not touch the neck block. I suggest you watch some more neck reset videos. Not trying to be critical just asking.

    Good day, I was wondering what is the point of the bass pins, and if this would be a good idea to do on my twelve string. I play mexican regional and we double up the strings (no octaves) to give a heftier tone. Would this be a good idea for those who play this type of music or should I stick to a regular bridge doctor?

    • @zwitchguitars
      @zwitchguitars 2 месяца назад

      This bridge doctor is one of the two choices, the reversible one. The brass pins keep you from having to drill a hole in the bridge. If you are doubling-up the bass strings, I do think having a bridge doctor installed is probably a good idea, as it would be a lot more tension. Either that or having thicker braces in the guitar to start with.

  • @HayesTech
    @HayesTech 2 месяца назад

    That's the first time I've seen that variant of the Bridge Dr. The one I'm familiar with has to have a hole drilled in the bridge, for a bolt and that model doesn't convert it to a pinless bridge. That's pretty cool. But as for what the Bridge Dr is used for, or designed to do, it is to reduce belly bulge. It wasn't designed to pull up the top ( the sound hole area). Sometimes that happens but not always. So it was designed to take care of belly bulge. Nice video though and nice to see there are different models to choose from now

      I don’t remember specifically from this project, but in general I start at something like 220, and if that’s not fast enough drop down to 150 then back up to 220. The goal is to *just* sand off the filler where it’s on top of the guitar, but leave it in the pores. So using higher grit keeps you from going too fast and removing all of the filler

    Gibson kerfed the braces in hollowbody archtops since the 30's. All but modern es-175s are kerfed. The warp doesn't occur because of the braces but more than likely it was left under tension in the trunk of a car on a hot day. It's not a difficult repair and has been successfully done many times by either replacing the braces or adding a splint on top of the existing braces.

    @SB-qj3cn 5 месяцев назад

    Yeah, so I think you might be misunderstanding what is at play when you press a piece of plastic onto a metal shaft. The metal shaft is harder than the plastic and so the plastic has no choice but to bend away from the metal. That stress will eventually cause the plastic to crack and then break. There is a reason for using heat and that is that it makes the plastic form to the metal so that it doesn't get stressed. I think Dan at StewMack has it pretty right. And I would suggest that if you're going to drill it out, rather than heat the shaft, that you drill to a perfect fit that does not have to be pressed on with advice but just fits exactly. Then use a glue a glue, probably an epoxy but you could use a super glue if you have a very close fit. Epoxy will Bridge and fill gaps much better than Super Glue. Because the hole in the tuner knobs is in fact not the same shape as the Pressed ends of the tuner pegs so something has to fill the Gap if you're not going to melt the plastic to fill the Gap then you have to fill that Gap with glue.

    Has the top caved in or is the neck pickup ring reversed? It looks very off.

      Yes, it’s caved in. In a different video in the playlist, I show that in more detail. Apparently, to save a few minutes of time, Gibson kerfed the braces and that just doesn’t provide the support they thought it would 🥲

      Yes it was! Makes me that much more excited to get it back into playing shape, must’ve treated someone very well

    A possible easier way to work with the potentiometers would be to slip a stretchable hose over the potentiometer shafts [ upon removing the hold down nut and washers.] The potentiometers can slip down in to the body -and can be easily extracted out again upon completion of your refinishing A beautiful guitar

      Thanks for that tip! I have come to the conclusion that I need to drop the pots out, but hadn’t thought through how I would do it yet
