The iron used in the video looks like a steam iron, which might have contained some water in its tank.

a capo on a classical guitar ? No...

If you heat the frets up there is a big chance the glue gets loose.. Maybe its smarter to heat the neck on the back.

I got my acoustic guitars with both back-bowed and up-bowed. I thought that the up-bowed guitar needed to be treated like yours on video but should do in reversed way. 🤔 Thanks 👍🏼

Very good informative video. I'm trying this on my 69 Harmony, which I'ver restored, but the neck is bowed and there's only a metal rod in the neck. No truss rod. I'll try this before removing the neck and see how it plays. Thanks!

You can do this to garage sale guitars and give them to kids to learn on. It's amazing or sad how little people know about simply bending a board

So when i understand fully on this video i also understand the detail because some of guitarist rules is not to put your guitar on heated area because the neck will be softer and the tightens of strings pull the neck to a High bow action, so thats why we get an high action because of heat.

The video is great, and this is a great hack. But I also think this guy's voice is incredibly soothing. You should make some sleep videos

could just be the fret glue

What do I comic the neck is dry

good vid!

Thank you for that video. My favorite classical guitar (had it for over 40 years by now) have started to show a twist in the neck several years after moving to a dryer climate. Would this heating hack work if I use the clamps such that I pull the neck into a reverse twist after heating??

An iron is used to soften the glue used to hold the frets in so this may not be the best method. A heating pad would be ideal. I used a hair dryer and made the neck damp and bent it further the other direction. It moved but a little. Maybe several times of doing that.

Great video. For me, it did not work, but thats more my cautiousness. And mine is bowed on a 1970s classical. Very tough stuff. I could stand on it with 2 feet and its strong... I weigh 127kg to note

I was searching this video 😮everywhere but I find it finally

I take the strings off and add water to the fretboard. You can then carefully add heat from a hair drier or space heater. This part can be tricky. Steaming the neck can ruin the finish on the backside if you apply too much steam from a tea pot or coffee pot.

such varied is the technique of the Luthier /m/,

this didnt work ;/

Nice idea, but there is no way of controlling how much or little it adjusts with any accuracy. As he said, try it on a cheap guitar, and if it works out, happy days. But don't count on it .

he's got some nasty gaps in that woodblock flooring

It's too dark. Can see the whole repair clearly.

I removed the frets on my classical guitar and planed the neck flat. I bought new fret wire and glued in new frets. The neck never bowed again and has remained straight for years even with constant string tension. I have another more expensive classical guitar with a similar problem but haven't decided how to attack it yet. Scary

Great video, I love how you do this delicate operation the simplest way possible. I'm going to try this on a flamenco guitar that I'm fixing for a friend.

Bro where did u go we need part 2 we need more videos of u this helped a lot thanks

I tried watching this video. But it didn't move at all. I learned that wood does not move with the average human weight. You must have a professional tool clamp.. You can work with just one clamp. However, even with straight correction, when the clamps are removed, it can be seen trying to return to its curved shape. Uneasy

🙂🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

To be honest this made me happy my great grandpas guitar which I know own I think has a bit of an up bow at the top of it like first fret wise

It's always good to fix your own problems.. But did this fix the guitar and how long did it last ? Thank you , Good job.

Are frets glued in?

I have an old one that has 2 of the strings are made out of steel and it has a very drastic upbow and idk if i should try to fix it and get new strings

Incredible fix. I have a cheap but really nice classical guitar and it had this really annoying bend. Thank you very much my friend 🙇

Thank you for the video. It helped me a lot and I did this to a classical guitar I repaired. 🎸

I tried this on a medium priced classical I pressed it against a 100% level surface clamped AsF on a metal carpenter vice and then left it there for a few ours to cool down. It looked great without the strings but next day when stringed up it started fikng about again.😡 I am now thinking to try again. This time overbend it do it will return with strings tension to nearest possible to level. This will be risky guess work (with spacers, how much will it return, etc) but I just hate playing with high action. Great idea though and thanks for the video.

Wow talk about DIY! Very cool.

I'm in awe of your tuition.. thankyou watching from the UK

perfect explanation, realy good. i need to ask, how did you get so much knowledge, i know YT can help, but there is more there than just YT knowledge

The top 2 parts of the neck is not playing its note

Where is part two?

Explanation starts at 5min

Can I use a heat blower to straighten it?

Great video, but a combination of water and years of finger goo is kinda disgusting.

Part 2... anybody ?

Thanks

for me, ah yes much that that one guitar needed lower bridge and more bow actually. I mean that may be the more common problem right, luthiers correct me if wrong, but you the file the bridge right. also what the neck!, the neck should be bent evenly! even!

thanx but heat removes glue you dont want to apply to the fretboatd which is glued to the neck , you should have tried heating the back of the neck

Would this be worth trying if the guitar has a broken truss rod?

I believe that is a classic guitar,which to my knowledge doesn't have a truss rod.

Sometimes the truss rod is accessable by removing the nut. The rod adjustment is cleverly hidden by the nut. I found this out by accident.

Amazing video. You are an expert

What's the brand name of your guitar? I found one just like it in a damp shed and I plan to restore it but see no make or model information accept it has C221 sticker on back top of neck.
