I watch a lot of luthier and guitar tech channels but I have to say, the way you quickly get after the job at hand, with techniques born out of the confidence that true experience (performing many tasks over and over and discovering what works best) brings is so refreshing. I imagine you get HUNDREDS of keyboard 'experts' telling you you're 'doing it wrong' . No, you don't do things the way 'other techs do it'. Yet, here you are. Still working. Still pumping out the product. Still 'doing it'. If you weren't able to satisfy the musicians whose instruments they trust you with, you wouldn't be here, right? 😎👍
I watched different luthiers on RUclips. Some, like Ted Wodford, approach a job in a very meticulous way, and some, like Jerry Rosa, will scare the hell out of you in the way he'll hack away at an old instrument, though in the end, both achieve remarkable results. Tanya has her own style and knows what works for her. Very impressive.
I would give Tania a guitar for repair without a second thought. Tania works professionally and very carefully...At this moment, Tania is the best guitar repairer on RUclips
Просто вау!)) Залюбки відновив би свою стареньку гітару сам, але бачу, що це не тільки кропітка робота, а ще й робота, яка потребує інструменту) дякую за контент! Приємно дивитися!

love the work and you do a great job! A couple tips I have, lower the soldering iron temperature or dont heat them up as much so you dont burn the binding. and after sanding the fretboard, before you clean the fret slots out you should paste wax, so you dont get pastewax in the slots. you will get better adhesion.
I always thought you have to put in the glue before installing the fret, but now I know there are several ways to go about it. Fantastic video, thank you for sharing, Tanya!
happy to see another luthier who approaches refrets the same way I do! too much extra work is normally put into a refret doing it the hard and slow way. looks great!
You are blessed with a skill I only wish I had. I know this kind of work can be taxing, but to see the end product must be very rewarding. I admire your beautiful hands! I hope you and your family stay safe!
Tanya, thank you for sharing your knowledge with these videos. I have have learned some new techniques from you. I agree with using the dead blow hammer.
Watching your deliberate delicate touch it becomes evident how much time can be saved (less clean up - less damage) in the end. Your videos are very soothing and joyful to watch. Like Ted Woodford, you are someone that shows amazing passion and focus on your craft! Keep up the outstanding work!
You do some incredible work I must say. I hope that you continue to make a name for your self. I enjoy just simply living vicariously through your videos. It’s truly an incredible thing to see an ok dingy guitar transform into a shiny beautiful work of art.
ASMR meets Guitars. These videos are not only interesting to watch, they're super soothing. The disappointing groan when you didn't successfully open the string package in one pull cracked me up too.
Ted is much more careful and planned & methodical about the things he does though. Like after nipping the tangs. There's still a burr there that needs to be filed down. She skips that step and tears up binding & fretboards in the process. Ted doesn't. They, aren't alike at all. Shes better than Jerry Rosa for sure. But nowhere near Ted. Not even close. Ted's been doing it for like 30 years or something. It looks to me like she just rushes through it, trying to get done as soon as possible. She doesn't even take time to protect the fretboard when sanding frets. Oh no. Let's just sand scratches all over the fretboard too. Yea....no. Not like Ted. Not even close. Having passion isn't all of it. She needs the skills to go with that passion. She needs the patience. She needs to work on a lot.
@@J_____Cshe is a dedicated luthier and fixed hundreds of guitars so this is probably the fastest way for her, anyway she is better than me and i only salivate at the thought of a hot ukranian chick (that knows what she is doing) fixing my guitars. P.S i don't like that she sands the fretboard either but hell, could you tell that she did it? i couldn't.
Ehhhh.....she's an amateur. Ted is a magician. He's a seasoned, professional luthier who can build a high end acoustic from total scratch. Sorry but there is just a massive difference between the 2 of them.
Tanya is every bit the skilled person Ted is with perhaps less experience on the real difficult broken up guitars......not to say Tanya can't repair anything thrown at her. She truly is a master in the craft.
My first fret Job was on a Custom shop E.S.P.Jeff Hanneman , 20 years ago , of course I Studied before I did it and had attended the Guitar Hospital In Big Rapids Michigan . With all the Videos out there , you can do this your self if you are good at working with tools and problem solving . Read and study all the Material you can , get the necessary tools and have at it .
Girl you’re amazing. I saw a video of an Ibanez broken head stock I thought it was going out with the trash. Just found you on RUclips I’ll be checking all your videos awesome
Pulling frets next to those inlays always scares the heck out of me (I hate having to pit it back). Nice Job. It is good to see you are still working with all the troubles in your country.
Really nice. I learned a bunch of basic thing watching, can't even imagine what I missed. After realizing you are working on some really high end guitars I had to subscribe.
i am new to your channel Tanya and i must say i’m impressed with your work this is my second video can you please show the products you very good working skills
Hi Tanya, great video, I just subscribed, I was undecided whether to do so or not but having seen a few of your videos now, I really like the no talking and commentary on-screen approach, thank you, and keep up the good work!
I've done both: hammer and press, but a hammer will leave deformations where a press won't. I stopped using the hammer and went to the press exclusively and I noticed that fretwork became way easier, faster, more consistent, and leveling was just a check to see if pressing went well. No more hammer for me.
@Jah Rastafari good idea in theory but in practice, less so, in my experience, because you can't apply pressure along the entire fret's radius. Even a dowel will create peaks and valleys. A press will also have less chance of tilting the fret when you press it in. Hammering is not a bad, or worse method. A press is just superior to me, in my experience and opinion.
@@Jah_Rastafari_ORIG To use the metal side of the deadblow hammer would be an error in and of itself in my opinion... So yes, even the polyurethane side leaves deformations, because you can't hammer the fret in evenly according to the radius of the fretboard. The fretting caul follows the radius very neatly, so when you press, you have even pressure along the fret, with the same radius. But then again: I turn my fretwire to be already in the radius of the board I'm working on (slightly narrower) and have all press cauls, in every radius size (7.5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20) so even with a compound radius I never have a caul that does not follow the radius.
Beautiful. I dont play so I cant understand from that side. But as a craftsman and a hardwood refinisher I can really appreciate this. You are very talented.

Tanya seeing you working with you great care and passion is relaxing and you are a great teacher for all of us.
Tanya is a genius. Refretting videos can be repetitious, but she turns them into a real work of art with her videography and editing. Bravo.

Great work. Not sure why I enjoy watching fret work so much.
That is a fantastic job!
Thankyou for showing the process so well, it's incredible watching a skilled person do what they do :)

A pleasure to watch an artist at work on a masterpiece !
Very captured by this young ladies work. So much attention to detail. Great job!

Me encanta esta mujer y lo que hace , es genial !!!

❤ seeing your work and stay safe in Kyiv!
Beautiful Ibanez and work too
Thank you!
These are great how-to videos. I haven’t been confident enough to attempt a re-fret yet, but you’ve demystified most of the process here.
Thanks! But there is a lot of practice needed in this work. So if its your first refret - better practise on some junk guitars :)
@@TanyaShpachuk I will make sure to do that. Great suggestion!
Wow! That fretboard really came to life, when you cleaned it. Nice job Tanya.
I found this talented gifted young lady on Tiktok. Very impressive work she does.
Thank you :)
looks amazing! thanks for keeping these old instruments alive
Thanks :)
You do some incredible work I must say. I hope that you continue to make a name for your self. I enjoy just simply living vicariously through your videos. It’s truly an incredible thing to see an ok dingy guitar transform into a shiny beautiful work of art.
Nice work. I’m going to use your technique of stringing the guitar up on my next change out. I never thought of doing it the way you install them.
Great close ups to show the very skilful work 👍
Suggestion for you. Showing someone playing the guitar after the work is highly recommended.
These are great videos! Please keep them coming, I've been building and repairing guitars for 15 years and these vidoes are wonderful to watch!
Thank you! Will try to make more)

It looks to me, she has the same passion for this job as Ted Woodford. It‘s so pleasing to watch her and she is funny 😀

Love watching a Master at work. And your quiet sense of humor. Would love to see you play a little?

Thank you!
I always loved those Ibanez artwood series guitar's ..
Really look's great.
Thanx Tanya.

Really nice. I learned a bunch of basic thing watching, can't even imagine what I missed. After realizing you are working on some really high end guitars I had to subscribe.
People don't regret low end guitars. Surprising, I know.
Grazie per il delizioso spettacolo! 🎸

" Watch and learn...this is the proper way to re-fret a guitar"
STELLAR WORK ❤👏👏👏👏
I am just totally amazed of your talent and Your workmanship is totally incredible I enjoy watching your videos❤😊
I love the way EVERYTHING is important.
Hands of a skilled surgeon no anesthetic needed ... well maybe just a touch for me!
Awesome video & great work! 👍🎸

You do wonderful work young lady!
Just found your channel and love the videos so far! Keep 'em coming!

Easy sub. This is the new ASMR
you repair guitars very well, I like the way you do it
I have started using the U.F.O.s, by Hosco for fret crowning. It has made me sell off all my other crowning files. This episode was relaxing to watch.
You do absolutely amazing work 👍💯💯💯🙂🙂🙂
