I love what you do Dave! I've learned so much from you. Thank you for the education and the opportunity to hang out with you. Because of your tutelage, I am considering making a shop in my garage. I appreciate all of your videos, but I'd like to see more about making your famous SANDWICHES!
The big fret slots are from old flat wounds. PS that wood bridge wont intonate with a unwounnd g. It was not built for 11s or 12s. It was was made for a wound g and giant flat wounds. Good Luck.
Smoked meat lasts longer...ever tried flugger fluren 37? i used it many times to remove the yellow from smoke of painted walls,its very hand friendly and works magic on tobacco,thin with water wash and dry off,and you have the white in sharp contrast to a yellow brown wall.
Awesome cleaning job Dave.... I remember doing the same with my '78 Stratocaster. Not much luck with conventional Geetah cleaners from the geetah shops.. but very good success with Roson lighter fluid and a car polish product called Nu-Finish. (its not Citrus or patroleum based). By the way who's Quincy?... I remember Lassie and you remind me of Inspector Gadget hee hee (compliment) The guy who installed the new frets probably was like you, on a tight budget at the time.Great work by the way :) Never Dull is the Best!! Hand Condoms are the best!!
I once saw a Les Paul Custom that had been White when it had left the factory. Later in it's life decades of smokey bars had turned it to a sort of mustard color.
Thanks for the great video! I always appreciate the time you spend explaining the thought process on repairs. A friend's got an ES125 of the same vintage, but alot worse for wear. The 2 piece back came unglued years ago and the braces are sliding around in there. Are the 2 pieces glued back together before the back comes off, to keep the positioning of the pieces right? Looking forward to part 3.
Dave in the last video you wanted a dial indicator string height gauge for bass. Your favorite US overpriced supplier that starts with an "S" has one for bass. Too bad they do not offer just the lower part and you can change the dial indicator from one to another.
You got me hanging at the edge of my seat waiting for the the nut making. I really want to see how you do that. Nut-ifications! Oh and have you ever tried one of those TUSQ XL Pre-slotted nuts? I hear they are much more slickery™. 🤔 😎
I bet there is a chance that a piece of the actual fret board was replaced. I know usually if that is needed someone would replace the entire fret board but stranger things have happened.
Over here my gas bill increased by 40% in just a year! Price was the same per m3 but I suspect that the caloric worth of the gas itself dropped significantly! Going to install some meters this year before and after the furnace to verify what is going on.
Hey Dave I was looking at those tuners for my 2015 les Paul special, to replace the robot crap that came on it. Do you think they well fit?/ be a suitable replacement? I like the vintage three on a plate style with white keys. Cheers
Davy Gooch G.E. I may have to send you a white lab coat.....but i'd want the sheet reveal on the bad ones so we can faint. I remember that Jazz Aerodyne.....nice bass
I think your file will last much longer if you used very light pressure on it.i think from my experience is that it knocks the diamonds off of the glue.so try very lite strokes with your next one you buy.just a suggestion bud worth a try.
$80 Dollars for a Custom NUT? Wow, I have been charging only $40 dollars for a Bone Nut. Am I getting screwed or is the cost of custom work in Canada so high? Maybe due to not many repair shops around? I mean I'm not taking a rectangle piece of bone and doing the shaping from scratch. The Nut has been pre-shaped at least. Let me know if Im too cheap?
How do you determine if a guitar is worth this kind of labor? Based on what the customer is willing to fund, guitar's original value? something else? I just wonder because this is obviously a lot of work- and in my experience, cleaning smoke residue off things is pretty much horrible. And the things I'm cleaning are usually metal, so I can use acetone/nastier chemicals.
Would you recommend the lighter fluid method to remove smoke on a double bass? I bought my bass recently, it's from the 50's and I don't think it has been cleaned since
Mingus what would make a difference about what kind of stringed insterments it is or any piece of wood with the type finish this has for that mater.use your knogan for something more than a hat rack.
Steve Suveg when he ran Jackin Klugman in the derby I like him but bet the Philly got over 400 back I’m a Ky girl use to run at ft Erie and woodbine love the molson live Dave’s work
Come on now.. Quincy never guessed, Dave..! That finish is so brittle and cracking in some places.. Were you not afraid of inadvertently removing more while cleaning?
Dave, Does your secret recipe work on all finishes (nitro vs. poly). That stuff seems legit, cause when you wiped after the cleaning no more brown came off. P.S. You probably don't want the clean the body if it has a tobacco burst finish. ;)
I hate to tell you after the fact, but regular old 409 or Fantastic either one is the best thing in the world for taking off cigarette smoke. Literally spray it on, wait 15 to 30 seconds and wipe it off. Then wipe off the 409 / Fantastic with a wet cloth and then a dry cloth. Nothing to it. You can do the whole guitar in less than 5-minutes. The smoke just melts away slick as anything.
Bill Seper it can't be any more harmful than windex is on it.just let it set to let it evaporate before you wax it.if it has checking that is.if it has no checking it don't mater.
Um No after 30 years of useing sandpaper day in and day out there are only 2 brands worth buying imo.3m and Norton and don't buy there cheap stuff buy the best you can gold 3m and champagne Norton they last so much longer it's not funny.
You should save the lighter fluid from cleaning the cigarette smoke off of the guitar and spray it on tobacco for extra flavor, which is why we smoke, the refreshing flavor of tobacco… I like tobacco flavoring on my popcorn.
Fretboard vs Fingerboard. Fretboard is a better descripition of what is on most guitars. It is a fingerboard but it has frets. Fingerboards are like virgins not slotted or penatrated.
Love your repair work Dave, However, personally in this case, I think you really should have fixed the original tuners (it can actually be done). Or just left them be. Not replaced them with chintzy brand spanking new ones

Ready for chapter three. I like the long projects.
UptownMovies me too. But where is it?
excellent clean amd polish job dave... doesn't even look like the same guitar....
I love what you do Dave! I've learned so much from you. Thank you for the education and the opportunity to hang out with you. Because of your tutelage, I am considering making a shop in my garage. I appreciate all of your videos, but I'd like to see more about making your famous SANDWICHES!
I like to learn and practice lutherie while you are doing yours. Very satisfying, thanks. Patreon, here I come.
Many thanks for another great vid Dave! Can't wait for the live show.
Quincy was the shit when I was a kid. I went from watching Jack on the Odd Couple to watching him pretend to cut up bodies. Cool show.
Lighter fluid is magical on stickers. too.
The big fret slots are from old flat wounds. PS that wood bridge wont intonate with a unwounnd g. It was not built for 11s or 12s. It was was made for a wound g and giant flat wounds. Good Luck.

Damn! Dave wiped off all the Tone Smoke!

no part 2 to see how it plays and sounds ?
White vinegar and warm water mix it up 5-1 ratio spray it on in a very light mist and rub lightly and repeat until the tar is removed.

Great work Dave. Good to know you are still taking patients. Obama care may be on the ropes but Daveocare is working strong here in Canukistan!

Yes I remember Quincy. Dave the new Quincy of the guitars;)

Man. I can’t find the part 2 for this. Drag.
Did you ever find it?
Hey Dave
I was looking at those tuners for my 2015 les Paul special, to replace the robot crap that came on it. Do you think they well fit?/ be a suitable replacement? I like the vintage three on a plate style with white keys.
Cheers
Davy Gooch G.E. I may have to send you a white lab coat.....but i'd want the sheet reveal on the bad ones so we can faint. I remember that Jazz Aerodyne.....nice bass
Dave, that guitar is a thing of great beauty....if I had it I'd just look at it, fuck playing it.....
I am the Quincy demographic and proud of it.
I think your file will last much longer if you used very light pressure on it.i think from my experience is that it knocks the diamonds off of the glue.so try very lite strokes with your next one you buy.just a suggestion bud worth a try.
Geeez, Quince, should have soaked those tuners in some coffee so they'd match the binding color better.
"Quincey"?
Damn, we're old!
looks like dustin hoffman
I too remember that from when I was a kid.
salmonline Yea , Jack Klugman , also in the odd couple. That was a while ago.
"Oscar...Oscar...Oscar..." - Felix Unger
@Dave why not just but naptha by the quart ? It's a fraction of the cost, and is what is Ronsonol - unless you're sponsored of course:)
My thoughts exactly.
Good job u doing there
remember all them cadets that fainted at dead body at beginning of Quincy ,,......I always thought he farted LOL
Wow, I had a '54 ES-125!
Good one
$80 Dollars for a Custom NUT? Wow, I have been charging only $40 dollars for a Bone Nut. Am I getting screwed or is the cost of custom work in Canada so high?

@@krustybuzzard2477 ...lol!
Dave, when is the next live goochin?
Was there a part 2 of this video? Can't seem to find it.
Recent subscriber here, and I'm kind of wondering as well how this turned out.
Easy Junior.,,,,I was a grip on Quincy. When Klugman was not at the track. AAAHHHH the good old days.
Steve Suveg when he ran Jackin Klugman in the derby I like him but bet the Philly got over 400 back I’m a Ky girl use to run at ft Erie and woodbine love the molson live Dave’s work
Come on now.. Quincy never guessed, Dave..! That finish is so brittle and cracking in some places.. Were you not afraid of inadvertently removing more while cleaning?
Where is part 2?
Dave,
Does your secret recipe work on all finishes (nitro vs. poly). That stuff seems legit, cause when you wiped after the cleaning no more brown came off.
P.S. You probably don't want the clean the body if it has a tobacco burst finish. ;)
Just guessing , like Quincy . Or Columbo . Uhhhh, just one more question??
Dave , you guys have any gigs coming up?
wanna jam? :)
what brand of gloves are those?
And Part 2 is ????
Sooo, Simple Green and Ronsonol.
Got it.
acetone?
Well, where the hell is part two? WTF Dave.
The last owner used a claw on the high E string.
Damn. i wish I knew the Aerodyne was for sell.
try white spirit mate

“Like a fun night a Dave’s”
Nice vids. But to be honest, I always speed up your videos at 1,5...
Yes, this is why guitar repairers tend to be self employed and single.They can't work (do anything much) at a commercial pace!
PULEEESE tell me how to do that! lol
got it. Thank god lol
The nut has been made he's the one with hands
Quincey= Jack Klugman
Dave's secret sauce.....
You're telling me stu crack won't pledge one of these files to your channel!
i hate the harbor freight painters tape, 3m only, sandpaper too.
Um No after 30 years of useing sandpaper day in and day out there are only 2 brands worth buying imo.3m and Norton and don't buy there cheap stuff buy the best you can gold 3m and champagne Norton they last so much longer it's not funny.
The first time a guitar is older than me by one year.
I gotta get this secret ingredient
the color grime you're taking off looks just like the tar color of a cig filter after smoking it. grimey.
Are you saying that this guitar is a dead body unable to come back to life Mr. Quincy?
You should save the lighter fluid from cleaning the cigarette smoke off of the guitar and spray it on tobacco for extra flavor, which is why we smoke, the refreshing flavor of tobacco…
I like tobacco flavoring on my popcorn.
lick yer fingers

we savely gone from 125$ to 400$ guitars thanks to our eastern neighbours :P plastic is the new bone and smoking is a no-no
CanaDuh
Just paint it black and cover it in Green Day stickers.
build with me.
Quincy,Medical Examiner ! Jack Klugman.
WTF, Dave. Just say what you're using.
What a surprise , dave needs a sandwich .
360p gaaaad !
refresh screen ;)
What about citric acid. I mean half a lemon? It cleans my kitchen, about once a year.
Vinegar. Non toxic cleaning vegetables. I like nature.
Goof-off
best cleaning product ever !
