Schön, dass es auch einen deutschen Gitarrenbauer gibt, der sein Handwerk versteht und dies in ästhetisch hochwertigen Videos der Öffentlichkeit präsentiert. Ich schaue mir bereits seit Jahren die Videos der einschlägigen Gitarrenbauer (Crimson Guitars, Ted Woodford, 6ircle guitars) an und habe mich immer gefragt, warum es aus unserer geographischen Ecke nichts in dieser Richtung gibt. Ich habe schon ein Abo dagelassen und freue mich auf weitere Videos. Tolle Arbeit!
Vielen herzlichen Dank für deine netten und auch motivierenden Worte. Freut mich sehr, dass Dir meine Arbeit gefällt. Besten Dank fürs abonnieren und Viel Freude beim Video schauen. BG Nik
Hallo Petrek Guitars, einfach tolle Arbeit super gefilmt - macht Spaß zu kucken. In meinem nächsten Leben werde ich guitarrenbauer. Meditativ auch das wegpusten
Petrek Guitars..In fact it is not a ''Squier by Fender Bullet Precision Bass''....It is in fact a Squier Bullet One bass made by FujiGen Gakki in Japan...In 1981-82, FujiGen obtained the Fender Japan contract which lasted until 1996-97....FujiGen also built Orville by Gibson under contract and Epiphone Japan solid body guitars, some Gretsch models and their own branded FGN guitars. FujiGen still manufactures OEM guitars for companies like Ibanez and Epiphone....but the Squier Bullet One was never built by Fender...
Not all necks can get their trussrod removed without huge damage/work. For instance double action trussrod necks are often having the trussrod glued and the nut cannot be unscrewed/removed. You have to open the neck to get it removed and it's a huge amount of work.
Thanks a lot for your Feedback. That's absolutely correct. Most of the times is much more time consuming than in this case. Feel free to check out my Trussrod repair Video on my RUclips Channel that I did one a Gordon Smith Guitar ... Puhh that was very intense. Best Regards Nik@@bapt_andthebasses
I've been playing bass for over 20 years and adjusting a truss rod is something I have never felt comfortable doing... 1. I don't want to ruin my guitar by doing something i have no idea how to do. 2. Most will say WOW you have been playing for 20 and don't know how to do adjustments to your instruments... Great job on the repair, If it wouldn't cost an arm and leg to ship to your area from The states. I'd love to have you do a repair on a bass i own. Cheers mate!!!!
Gotta love all the work and passion put into it!!! Leo designed the necks to be replaced but when you love that certain neck…gotta fix it. 👍🏼👍🏼 Cheers from SoCal!!
Very nice work. Do you have any ideas for a stripped truss rod nut in an Ibanez with a dual action rod? The Grabber tools don't quite work. I've read about putting wax on wrench, putting a bit of epoxy into the stripped nut, and letting it dry around the wrench. I haven't been brave enough to try that yet.
Thanks for your positive feedback. If you have a Double action Truss Rod you cannot remove the Nut to change it. The only way to fix this problem is changing the Trussrod. You can see this process in my Series (5 Parts) " Fender Jaguar Repair. Hope this will help you out. Best Regards Nik
Nice work, and great filming and educational content, but what's with the (massive) crack that appeared in the neck just above the trussrod hole at 31:36 just as you pushed the wood plug into the hole? Let's hope that the fish glue is holding it together.
Thanks a lot for your watching and your positive feedback. Don’t worry this crack is about 3-4 mm long and ends at the Nut. No problem for the Fish Glue 😉Best Regards Nik
Thanks a lot for your Feedback. Yes this is a very time consuming repair and it always depends on the time I have to invest in the repair process. Best Regards Nik
Thank you so much for watching and your kind words. I do not make lacquer jobs because I don’t have a cabin and it’s very complicated here in Germany because of the filters and the safety or the environment. Sorry for that… Best Regards Nik
Superb job. That is one lucky instrument to have you repairing it. Well done! Can I just ask, when you made the wooden washer, is there any reason why you would choose wood for this washer and not metal? I am just continually learning and interested.
Thanks a lot for your positive feedback. There were som wood tear out from the Trussrod Nut so I decided to build this wooden washer to make this area solid again. Best Regards Nik
Thanks a lot for watching and your Feedback. Actually between the end of my Workbench and the two Drills there is my Trashcan and that´s were the needle lands🙂 But I have to admit this was pure luck... Best Regards Nik
Perfect Job! How many hours or € do you put in this job? If I could make a comment it’s only why you don’t retire all the key bullets first. & why you did’nt protect the neck plate first & retire until finish. Good job
Thanks a lot for your Feedback and your questions. Actually this repair went fine without any big problems I have to take care about. But it's surely more than one Day of work afford. I just remove to of the bushings because I consider that they touch my drill when it's rotating otherwise there is no special reason to remove them. Best Regards Nik

Hallo. Der Pickup und das Pickguard sind nicht original. Laut Vorbesitzer handelt es sich um ein Precision Pickup von 1964. Der originale Pickup ist noch vorhanden und klingt auch gut. Beste Grüße Carsten
Thanks for your question. It depends on the construction but this technique works just on Vintage style Trussrod construction. Double action Truss Rods are mostly inlayed without having a second excess ... that makes think complicated🙂 Best Regards Nik
Hey brother, nice repair and awesome technique. I need to do the same repair on an 83 MIJ Squire P Bass, can I ask where you got your truss rod from? I'm having trouble finding one.
Thanks a lot for your positive feedback. I am located here in Germany and I bought the Trussrod from Rall Guitars. But I am sure you can get it also from Stew Mac in the U.S. Best success. Cheers Nik
@@petrekguitars thanks man. I did find it. Have it bookmarked. I’ll pull this one out first just to make sure but it looks like the right one. Thanks man, appreciate the help. PS: been subbed for a while now. Love your videos!
Having a list of the tools you used on this job would be great. In particular, that large metal block with filing etched into it, what is that? Also, where did you get the 9.5mm Rotation Router bit from? Excellent work, BTW!
Thank a lot for your positive Feedback.The Metal Block is some kind of Industrial Tool that I have for about 20 years now...Actually that's a 10mm Routing bit I got it from a local Hardware Store. Hope this helps you out... Best Regards Nik
Fantastic video and repair! We should all be so lucky to have a luthier of this caliber available to us :) Quick question: what was the wooden washer added to the headstock-end of the new truss rod for? Not sure I understood that part.
Thanks a lot for your kind words Jason. I added the wooden washer to get more distance and to avoid that the end of the Trussrod will run out of threads... Best Regards Nik
Thanks for your Feedback. These are great Instruments. If there is no movement when you Turn the Trussrod maybe it is running out of threats so you have to be careful not to damage. You can apply some washers under the Nut this can help in some cases. Best Regards Nik
Thanks for your question Don. Sorry but I don’t understand your question …. You mean the whole at the Headstock? If yes this is always covered with a Walnut dowel. Best Regards Nik
I admire the surgical stainless steel tray that you're using for collecting the screws! Do you do desinfection after each use as well? BTW, subscribed from Toronto due to the similar issue with me first American standard strat, 1981. If I had you solved that issue back then, I'd not end up with another 20 PC's of collectible crap. I'd be totally happy with that one, the first one..😢 and you know what, I've subscribed to your a$#zing channel,because I didn't hear any bla bpa blah, just a hard work. Respect from Toronto!

Beautiful work! Amazing restoration, but would it have been possible to make it adjustable at both ends? For practical reasons, I prefer adjusting truss rods from the top
