What a great way to get those “campfire guitars” playing better without going crazy on a full neck reset…a lot great advice for us newbies. Thanks Beau👍
Wow, fast repair, but even faster player at 7:30 😂😂 I m really impressed that you managed to stay under an hour. It was very interesting to see that it is possible to get the old frets back in without major issues. I also checked your new neck reset data sheets on the website. Thank you for sharing all of that 😊
I work on guitars all day so I get everthing you did. Now with that said, That was amazing! Under an hour? That was entertaining to watch so thank you for sharing.
@@BeauHannamGuitars we are doing well. Retired from custom builds for the most part. Building for my Muse now. Hope to catch up with you again one day in person. Let me know if you’re ever this way. I will do the same. Cheers, Jay
@@jaylichty Laurie was just near you at the zipline but busy working so couldn't swing by to say hi but she would have loved to- I look forward to catching up one day soon!!!
Thanks :)- this is a good way to get a beater going again. Better guitars (with removable necks) its more appropriate to do it properly and reset the neck.
I repaired and set up a very similar “nameless” guitar for a family member. No manufacturer’s marks at all. We think it may have been purchased with “Marlboro Miles” back in the 1990s.
🏆You win for sheer speed! Speaking of cheap guitar fixes: A 1980s Fender laminate-top acoustic I’m working on (to gift or sell) has intonation is 12 to 16 cents off across the board. The strings can’t be the cost, can they? They’re newish, but have come on and off a few times (for new saddle, fret level, bridge pinhole slotting). It’s not worth further work and I can only guess factory mistake. Thoughts?
With a board plane where you have to take off a lot what do you use to deepen the fret slots as you go give that the finger board is bound (ie can't just run a saw through the slots).
So many good points of information in just 11:20 minutes...just wondering, you didn't heat the frets for removal, did you assume that on a cheap guitar they wouldn't be glued? Would it have made a difference if they were? The only time I pulled frets I was struggling to get them to seat and had already made a mess of it so I didn't learn much;)
I think i mention heat. I do a test without heat with the chip stoppers and if the frets are pulling out nice without chipping then i dont bother with heat. If they chip out then heat is used.
Background music is so tricky! - you mean when I’m talking right? Every time I think I have it low enough in the mix someone still complains! Hahah- it’s good to know and I’ll lower it more next time. Thanks for mentioning it.
@BeauHannamGuitars yes, while you're talking, not the times when you just use it for fill in while you're not talking. I always enjoy you're videos but music while people are talking makes me want to keep beat to the music and I miss what's being said. I'm from a different generation I guess is the problem. My kids listed to music while doing their homework. Then again, neither one was a good student. Anyway, thanks so much for doing what you do. I can always mute and use closed caption, but you have a pleasant voice, and I hate to miss out on that. Oops, forgot to start with, straight away.

Thanks and my pleasure :)

Thanks so much :) I want to do it without filming so I really know how long it took!
Good on you Beau. I have enjoyed watching your career unfold. Keep up the great work my friend.
Hi Jay!- thanks 😊 I was just talking about you with Jake a few days ago. I hope you are well :)

@@BeauHannamGuitars I completely understand. Tell her hello please.
I’d love to see more of these videos! And I kind of like the music 😊
Thanks Janie :)
I have an old guitar I need to do that to! Thanks for the lesson.
I enjoyed your article in the "Guild" magazine.

Thanks for sharing. Lots of good information.
Thanks
Great and educational work as always
Thanks so much Andreas

I miss the 1990’s!
I could not believe you did all that in an hour!
Thanks-
60mins filming- i bet i could do it in 45mins! :)

All you can do is play the open string then play it at the 12th fret and get them as close as you can. I aim for within 5cents

Good question- a fret saw and fret slot hook stewmac sell both
i love the sneaky micro edits
When talk when filming my pauses are so long!!!! I have to edit them all out. Wish I was a smoother talker
@@BeauHannamGuitarsHA! Don't sell yourself short; I've seen your anniversary posts ;-D
Shows your experience lad . So , is it factory built or luthier built ? Nice looking . Peace ✌
Thanks- I’d say factory but no idea who
Using the old frets saved a ton of time.
For sure. I got lucky

@@BeauHannamGuitars Thanks, of course only a fool would let me fool around trying to repair their guitar;)
Plywood top?
I don’t remember but I don’t think so
I just don't understand why the distracting music?? Great info otherwise.
