Gibson, as loathe as I am to defend them, has a legal responsibility to defend their trademark/copyright/intellectual property. If they don't defend one case then all the others will file a legal brief claiming Gibson is selectively defending their intellectual property. Not surprisingly, this guitar is a scam.

I also would not give Rolling Stone mag any credence on anything. Not unless what they print is verified elsewhere. As for their greatest..... worse than a bad hoke.

So your local private customer is the legit owner of a legit custom shop guitar bought at a great premium from Fender and they still want a token $75 to produce a duplicate document to vouch for the known authenticity of the guitar. This is just another way Fender is saying to kiss their asses if you want to be a member of the club. That's when I tell Fender I'll never buy another guitar from them and furthermore I'll tell this sad story to every musician I know. Fender should've said, "Everything checks out and we are pleased to make you a replacement COA as a goodwill gesture because we want you to be happy, we value your business and we want more of it in the future. Thank you again for buying Fender! Is there anything else we can help you with?" Thanks, Tom. You presented this matter more than fairly.

I have no Idea why the title screen keeps repeating lol oh well next time

Thank you, Tom. Pleasure talking to you about my old Tele and about stuff in general. Best with your shop. I really appreciate what you do on here. Glenn, Oveido.

Wouldn't it be easier to level all the frets first and then do a fall away?

🙂

This is the review I was looking for! All the information that nobody else gives which is all the information we need. Thanks for being informative and honest!

Thank you for your service!

If you paint the walls white you'll get a lot better overall effect from your lighting. Long story short.

Samash has sucked for the last Ten years…I never shopped there because they never have anything I wanted in stock. Especially as an Audio Engineer you go in they always have the same 5 mics on sale. How many audio technica at2020’s and Rode Nt1a’s I’ve seen in my life there and never have any discounts..meanwhile sweetwater has everything. Plus the only types of workers there always played guitar and can’t answer the most basic questions about anything else

Do you think using the bass pickups will yield a similar sound to a Ken Smith bass?

No worries' I will just make a new neck, and a new body, and install new electronics ... oh, wait, it is 2015 Mexican Squire ... Do I need this experience? Great Video. Truth is, I wouldn't have enough experience regarding flooded guitars at this point to take the chance with a customer's guitar, so I would send it to someone like you.

I prefer the lowly undersaddle pickup for the simplest permanent approach for direct string contact pickup. An acoustic P90 approach for the neck and the microphone approach for ambient tone Blend the three together

Really interesting video. Makes me think of those huge water-tight peli cases you used to get for food stuff, and if the £1000 investment in that sort of emergency storage would be worthwhile for those living in the path of such storms.... or just chalk it up and buy a new guitar with the money. I'm in the UK and many of use saw the recent Florida storms on the news and had a feeling of horror seeing that happen to you guys over there.

Fellow piezo hater here. I believe you that it sounds great in the room, but over my speakers, I heard quite a bit of distortion. May be the amp. I'll be sure to check this system out.

Man some great guitars are probably unsalvageable. I can only imagine how seawater would wreak havoc on guitars as a whole . Hopefully insurance companies will fork out some cash and help these people in their time of need. Best regards Tom.☮️

Tom, I’ll talk to you Tuesday. I think I’m going order at least half dozen of these pickups. I’ve had customers with that very complaint and this seems to be the solution to that problem. Thanks for posting the info.

Anyone who's worked in a woodshop knows the answer to the questions, "How many clamps should a woodshop have?" And, "Where should they be stored?" More, and right next to what you're clamping up.

Right on man. I watched your vid on fret fall off a while ago and it used it on two of my guitars. They play so much better, and I'm getting ready to do the fall off on another soon. Looking at a jazz box with a Kent Armstrong tomorrow and here I am again. Love the random, and very legit, knowledge. Cheers.

Wow glad to hear you guys didn’t get flooding and wind damage. Very glad to hear 🙏

i have these in my 1980s overwater bass... my main bass.... they are incredibly good.

Your shop looks amazing

Thank you for the shout out Tom😜

That's a real situation. Best wishes!

The problem with tilting the claw like that is that when using the trem arm up the spring in the middle and at the high E string looses the connection at its connection points and this may lead to tuning problems because the springs may not return to its original position again. This happened to my guitar today when I tried this.

Thanks for the nice technique! I'd be interested to know what the height of the ~10 pieces of tape ends up at in thou, since I've seen varying thickness to masking tapes. Although it might not matter the exact angle of the falloff as long as it's there I suppose 🤔

Great info. Been hearing about Kent's stuff for years. I was considering putting some Kent Armstrong pickups in my PRS SE model. I saw some on Reverb at a great price. Now I'm even more curious.

How much fall away do you need and how do you measure it ?

Fae Flat

Carl Verheyen is de man!

Awesome!

So excited for you!

Hey Tom, the audio is very low for a majority of this video, difficult to understand you.

Cool back story. Not sure what is going on over there. I just ordered and received an Aria Pro II bass backup from them. It showed up with no paperwork wrapped in a paper towel 😕

good job, clear and straightforward explanation

Wouldn't this make playing up the high frets more difficult? How does this help low action if it raises the string distance to the strings at the high frets?

RIP Stevie Marriott!!! his guitar skills were overshadowed by THAT voice, but he was no slouch across a neck. he was tiny, so there is weight in what you say (excuse the pun) regards from England

Thanks Tom for this wonderful work You are so pro mi amigo

I wish I would have know this years ago- would have saved loads. Thanks for the lesson on necks!

Good morning my friend Tom good too see you mi amigo

My first thought was positive pressure on the area that needs to be clean - like a box fan with an air filter or two blowing IN to the studio area. Oh man, I wish I could play around in a room like that!

Got my guitar fretwork done at Salvis fine guitars in Australia, absolute hacks, more dead notes than when I took it in. Complete disaster.

Great referral. Will give em a try

Why reach to the bottom of the barrel for musical instruments? I use USA manufacturing. I know what the wood is, I know what the metallurgy of the fret material is, I specify the shape, the fret size, and know I will need to do minor fitting , and only minor fret work to be perfect. The outcome tonality wise is fairly predictable. As is using China parts. They are vastly different. Just buy a squire if you don’t have the funds. Asia guitars with QC from a larger manufacturer is better than rolling the dice at Amazon or other. That has no accountability or QC.

Thanks for casting some light on this latest 'issue' that has a lot of YTers throwing some uninformed, unjustified shade. As with the old parlor game, by the time a story's been passed from person to person a few times some of the facts have been changed or omitted and some new 'facts' have appeared.

Would love to see something even more in detail about the inductor and how the acoustic sound works

I saw nothing whe soldering the back of pick board !!!

We are watching Fernando and I from Colorado
