Normally I see great job done here. This time for this grade of the instrument I have cringed so many times that I do not want to become hater. Drilled to deep into the fretboard, to narrow inlay, discolored pearl a bit on the nut side. Man that might be OK for some china made guitar but on D-45 it is a crime in my book. Especially for that nice of a example. I would not like that even on my Japanese Morris guitar. Sorry. I would take it somewhere else and redo it. Fill it under with ebony dust and glue to get flat surface and get proper fitting inlay in it. I did not liked it at all sorry.
Dan is an absolute treasure. He is a master of his craft but is also such a great communicator and teacher. From watching these videos I am learning not only about luthiery but also about how to present information in an effective and engaging way. Please keep up the amazing work!
😱who else could hack into a guitar like that while narrating the video like it’s just another old bit of firewood! Dan is the coolest dude on the planet! This was awesome to watch.
Anyone know where Dan got his presenting skills? He's a natural teacher. There's not a word that comes out of his mouth that isn't completely intentional and informative. Never too much information, never too little. He's a master.
Just excellent.Tricks like the acetone magnet cup, the fence, and the piece of scrap to prevent the tipping are what separate a true master from everyone else doing this work. A D45 is roughly a $10,000 purchase that should not require remodeling. It’s too bad whomever inlaid that guitar at the factory couldn’t have taken an extra five minutes to look at the big picture and get it right. Martin should reimburse this customer 200% of whatever this repair cost to execute, along with a letter of apology. My $.02.
You buy a D-45 purely for the eye candy as it's not superior to cheaper models, it's all about the looks. I think Martin should use real abalone, not abalam. I don't like those obvious straight lines in the inlays. At that price I expect the best of the best only.
These StewMac videos are always so well done, and Dan is a national treasure. I purchase things from StewMac sometimes just to help support this good work they do.
Dan is one of the few people that wouldnt make me cringe taking a drill to a D-45. I knew he'd do a fantastic job and the finish at the end was superb.
Dan, you are the man. Not many folks left who have that knowledge. So happy you are passing it on to a new generation of luthiers. You should be proud. Here’s to another 50 years! Love your work.
Very educational as always - great work. I'd love to own a Martin, but I must say if I had saved and bought the dream guitar, I think I'd be a bit disappointed if the inlays were not all whole abalone.
I love watching Dan and seeing repair videos like this that are about more than just showcasing a product or a Q&A. I hope we can see more of these again! I will say tho that my attention to detail would have made me redo that inlay because it was lower than the others (we didn't get to see him shim it with paper as he mentioned) as well as it being cut too short on that one side, though the pigmented glue hides it well enough.
No shit....I hate to pick on Dan, but I've been a pro luthier for 50+ years, and so many of his 'jobs' are SLOP repairs. This was no exception. The inlay was badly cut, He did a horrible job of removing the old inlay, and I wouldn't let Him touch ANY of My guitars. Sure would be nice to have access to $$$$$$ of tools, though. I did quite a few repairs to Chuck Berry's Gibsons back in the good days...Chuck was PICKY, and things had to be perfect. He would toss Dan out of the limo on the highway for a lousy job like that. Peace to all. -Smythie
If you don't have Abalam or the correct piece of abalone on hand, or you don't have the time and/or skill to order and cut your own, you can call Martin and get a laser cut 3rd fret position hexagon in different shades and pattern densities. Just tell them what you need.
To me its not a problem. Each guitar is unique. Thats why they use those inconsistent natural materials. That *slightly* darker piece added to the character of the guitar. Made it stand out. Thats why you buy such guitars, because theyre not all the same.
Dad Gum, you've got a great touch! So long ago you worked on my Stratocaster at Herb Davids' in Ann Arbor. Yes, sir, some time ago, what a time!! Eh? Thanks Dan!!
@@stewmac Well, I probably would have gone the same route. At least the owner knew that the job was going to be done right. One of the first video’s I watched was when Dan fixed the 50’s Stratocaster that was routed for a Floyd Rose. Spectacular!
@@reverb508 Of course he didn't like the inlay color, because it was the wrong color. Jut like he wouldn't have liked it if one of the tuning keys was a completely different shade than the others. Most people just expect better craftsmanship at that price point, which is exactly why Martin said that they would fix it for free.
Dan it’s alway a pleasure to look at you work and learn a new thing from you. You have though me so much in the last 20 years. You were one of the first to share you guitar repair knowledge with others thank you for the knowledge you have given us.
I'm surprised that particular piece of inlay made it out the door and passed final inspection!!! I have used Stew Mac abalone on my 1902 Fairbanks Senator Banjo!🇺🇸🎩🇺🇸🎩🇺🇸
dan: starts drilling me: cringes HARD. dan: "this will probably make you cringe" but above all else, if i ever had enough money to buy one, dan is the only guy id trust drilling into it.
I bought my D-45 new in 1989. It’s not been played much but has been back to Martin 3x for warranty and non warranty repair- to include a bowed top, a bridge replacement, repair of a cracked brace, repair/replacement of split bridge plate, it’s 2nd neck reset and some refretting. What really surprised me was a shim under the fingerboard at the body joint. At this point in my ownership I’m seriously considering selling it.
This is a testament to Dan's absolute artistic mastery but I couldn't imagine being so picky about the appearance of a fretboard inlay to have him go through so much highly intricate work.
@@justsomeguy7650 I can't imagine having a D-45 and not being able to enjoy it because one of the inlays is a bit darker than the others. Maybe I'm not discerning enough.
Yeah this is just silly. Wasting Dan's precious time on a guitar that's perfectly fine just because one inlay is slightly darker than the others?.. Give me a break. Did you buy it to play it or just to look at it?
It made for a good video; helped StewMac promote some of their products; educated all of us on inlay replacement; and the owner (who can do whatever they want with the guitar they own) gets a guitar they like better. Win-win-win-win.
Every one of those fret markers has join lines visible in them (even the ones Dan said were "real" abalone, unfortunately). Absolutely appalling material quality in a guitar that retails for a shade under $10k. Great video though!
I think it would bother me as the owner of that guitar that the inlay wasn't perfect as the others from the factory appear to be. And only because it's a $10k guitar. If it were a $2k guitar, that repair would suffice.
Is that what the song was about? 🎶whoa black Betty, abalam🎶 😂😂😂 (I couldn't help it, and also apologize if someone beat me to the joke) awesome work, Dan!
It's strange that the luthier who built that D45 would have used that perticular piece of abalone. It was drastically darker than all the others, and for what I'm guesing he paid for that thing ($9945. Just checked Martin website), it makes me wonder why it was used on this instrument.
I've never done inlay work, but would guess the inlays matched nicely when they were first laid in the fretboard. The leveling/sanding afterwards could have exposed a different layer of colors. Then the question is, do you rework it or go with what nature intended?
@@melodicdreamer72 Those are good points. My only thought is the inlay pieces start out pretty close to size. Your thoughts are still valid possibilities, however.
Thanks Dan, I always learn a new tip or trick from your videos. I’m an amateur builder and used the hexagonal inlays on a guitar for my nephew a few years ago. Modeled on my brother’s Yairi (but it all stared with the beautiful D-45!).
I'm guessing he felt badly about the gap, and recut a new piece and worked with that. If Rick had an issue with the slightly darker original inlay, he's not gonna NOT notice the gap. Just saying!
This shows once again how perfecting a craft means doing alot of small things really well. There are so many steps here where you could easily make the end result look horrible if not done perfectly. And this is just one inlay... think about what it takes to build a whole guitar on that level. All of the sudden $10k doesn't sound all that outlandish.
Great video, For what it’s worth, the latest videos from Martin on “Pearling” a D-45 shown the craftsperson using white Elmer’s Glue-All (PVA) to install the abalone trim on the purfling.
Pretty incredible work really, looks great. However I can't help think that those gaps around the new inlay really take away from the piece. I might just be far too picky as the kind of thing I spend my spare money on is watches and generally watch guys are very picky about tiny imperfections (I'm a bit more forgiving but the culture rubs off on you a bit). I don't know much about guitar repair or luxury guitars. Is that kind of imperfection viewed as fine and normal on a guitar worth this much? I know I would be very displeased if I sent a watch for repair and it came back with notches in the dial or scratches in the crystal. Not trying to offend or disparage your work though, you definitely took the time to get it as close as possible to perfect.
Dan truly is the Norm Abrams of guitars. Anyone who whittles into the neck of a brand new D45 like it's no big deal has balls that clank. You're the man, Dan!!!
I have actually built me a guitar with abalone dots, and one of them turned almost black on black fretboard after i leveled it with the board. Boi it made my eye twitch, but i got used to it lol 😂
That's some pretty sloppy inlay work for a Martin 45. You would think the cream of the crop Martin would be made with the very best Abalone. Nice restoration work. Always a pleasure watching your videos.
Thanks for showing this “repair”. Yikes! I was going to have fretboard markers removed and snowflakes installed. Good job, but you convinced me that they are just fine!
fantastic video! Dan is such a master and so great at explaining the process. One semantic point...Abalam is "real abalone". The more precise way to differentiate them is Abalam vs solid shell.
I had no idea that replacing a fretboard inlay involved that much precision. Dan and Rodrigo Gomez replaced my 35 year-old Matrin D-28 fretboard, added a truss rod and added my name on the 12th fret. I am ever so pleased with that fine professional job. I am always proud to play that guitar and tell those who ask who did the professional neck/feet work that Dan and Rod Gomez did it!
Now the customer is going to see all the abalone lines and Dan has to replace them all for it to be perfect.
Yeah, he should've never pointed that out! Lol Now that's all the customer will be looking at when he plays it!
That was terrifying. I wouldn't have had the guts to do that on a Martin D-45. Thanks Dan!

@@AndreaAustoni agreed. For that price real abalone all the way around would be a must in my book.

I hope you continue to do these longer videos. Love the channel!
Thanks so much!
Bout time we get to see Mr. Dan again! Legend!
Wow! Dan Erlewine is like the "Norm Abram" of guitar repair.
Much respect for the inlay surgery.
there's a little Bob Ross mixed in as well - and that's a good thing. Happy little abalone...

Man he is as pro as pro can be! Idk why he is so easy to watch. Great teacher!
All the abalam fret markers would have to go, the lines in it are obvious and my eye would go straight to them every time I looked at the guitar.

Thanks. That is the info I need. Have a D52 with an inlay missing
@@jjiacobucci Tell em Dan sent ya
True but you should not need anything for a brand new D45. The original inlay was a scar that should not have made it out the door to begin with.
I wouldn’t have accepted it. It’s a $9,500 guitar ffs

Shame on Martin for even using that piece that was to dark and mismatched, especially considering what these things cost!

Should have made a new inlay when you sanded too far in. Noticeably soft corners with the black glue.
I mean for $10,000, Martin should be the ones doing this job, for free.
I believe Dan said they would do it for free but it would take a while. The customer didn't want to wait that long.

Awesome! Glad it was helpful!
Great video! But man, somebody, say to Rick that you play on the guitar, not the fretboard inlays lol!
By the way, Dan is probably one of the best luthier out there, just wish he was closer!

Kinda like sitting at the feet of Solomon as he's casting his pearls of wisdom. This is what RUclips was meant to be.
Yes, the drill made me cringe. All I could say was F’ that!
✌️🤬🎸🎶🎵🎶
Oh. Visibly too loose fit compared to the other inlays and - even worse - at least one corner of the inlay looks round. I'd have this redone.
fantastic video! Dan is such a master and so great at explaining the process. One semantic point...Abalam is "real abalone". The more precise way to differentiate them is Abalam vs solid shell.
Always a great start to the day when there’s a stew Mac video with dan! A true craftsman. We want more!
