We try to keep it close to original but protect the wood. The result was "interesting."
Egmond Archtop Repair 10 - Fret job, testing and so on
Просмотров 2453 года назад
This one's kind of a ramble. I level the frets and fool around with it. Think about what else there is to do. That and there is some play testing. I really like the sound of this thing.

This old Egmond is probably from the 1940s or 1950s. It needs a lot, not the least of which is a new truss rod.
How to calibrate a vintage centrifuge with a cell phone
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.9 лет назад
I show how to calibrate an IEC clinical centrifuge using guitar tuner software (Pitchlab) running on my Android phone (Sony Xperia Z1).
Do you really think we didn"t notice the little glue drops that you locked up inside? We have seen everything. We didn't miss any single détail from all over the whole wild world
Weird glue, i also think contact glue. I use to put in a double acting rod (milling if none first) and then reglue the whole thing with Titebond, strapped to a machine bed. It does the trick. I´ve milled the neck flat once, it was an awful mistake and diminished the already rather narrow neck. The Egmond necks are so soft, easely bend back.
Nice video, but i am asking the silicon you put in the trussrod slot. I done it also but after that i could,nt move the trussrod. With some acetone i loosen it.I use bathroom silicone sealant
It's been a while since I did this, but I think my trussrod was covered with plastic so even though it was embedded in silicon, it would still turn freely. The plastic covering the trussrod protected it from the silicon. Sorry if you got a problem! But the silicon I used was similar to bathroom sealant.
Nice job
Hey Thanks!
@@johnsaeger4416 i got the same pb on the twelve fret on my Egmond parlor, work in progress
Awesome man! Sounds great. Good job
Thanks for saying so. You made my day!
hi there ! I have an old i think its early 60 archtop with a cut..andthe neck is thick as a baseball bat, found it on a flea market for 350mk back to the year 2000 ,then maybe 30 dollars..maybe have to trick a little but i think Ill fix it, with right tools oh yeah and install pickups on it , I might have a good frankenarchtop :D
Yeah, I'll bet it sounds great through the pickups!
forgot to tell that I´m gonna change the neck to a peavey one from a broken acoustic, cause my old r.i.p. friend step on it badly when he was drunk and he gave that neck to me at the same time-period. you keep that and maybe you fix something :)
@@klx67 I think there's something to be said for fixing up your instrument how you want it. If you can do it yourself, so much the better!
Can you tell me please, can I remove my egmont guitar neck from the body by just undoing the screw? I have removed the screw and the neck seems very loose but wont come away from the body.
Sorry I don't remember. I know that big screw was to adjust the neck angle. I know I took the neck completely out at some point. So it might be in one of the videos, but I can't guarantee it. I wish I had a better answer.
@@johnsaeger4416 Just worked it out. There was an additional thin screw that is recessed under the last white fret doT! then it just comes out. I am going to glue it as cant get the adjusment right. I eill use a wood dowl where the back bolt is. Thank you so much for getting back toi me. Your a star!
Scale Guitar?
I don't know. I gave it back to the owner and I don't remember. I would guess it's a little short but not a lot. It felt normal enough.
Picking one up next week that needs a similar touch up ! Very usefull and oddly specific video :)
Thanks for your kind words!
I grew up 3 miles from the village of Egmond in The Netherlands, where this brand takes its name from. The company was based in Eindhoven.
Thanks for the info!
What are the chances? I am doing exactly the same restoration to exactly the same guitar at this moment. It is a 1965 Egmond model 36 or a 1969 Egmond Kansas as mentioned at this site (www.egmond.se/egmond_se_Lucky7.html). Very nice to see someone else going through the same procedure as I am. Good job!
Hey thanks! I'm not totally sure what model this one is but it was fun to get it to play nice. Maybe a little more fun than I was planning on...
This is pretty clever, thanks! I verified the frequency of a calibrated centrifuge in the lab with digital output. I would sometimes read the expected frequency, sometimes read half the expected frequency. I'm not sure why I would measure half. It seems like the point of friction/contact would have to be skipping every other rotation; like a wobble. I feel like I'm standing on my head to explain the observation. I could, however, expect to read double or quadruple the true frequency. I could either imagine the harmonic frequencies being resonant enough, or if the sound came from the air being pushed by the buckets, you would get four pushes per revolution. Thoughts? While working through this measurement, my vintage centrifuge seems to have stopped working. Bummer...
