  • In the last video we talked about how to slot a fretboard, index it to the neck and glue it on the neck.
    I missed a few things and y'all asked me a number of questions that I felt could use an all new video.

    I use Scotch “magic” tape, that thin frosted tape make for paper. It’s usually just slightly wider than the truss rod slot. I just tape over the rod with it, and leave it there. It’s very thin so it doesn’t cause a problem. The glue won’t stick to it, but it won’t stick on the open slot anyway. 😁

    Thanks for video, it’s really helpful
    But one question: this truss rod is double action which is great but nuts on it are welded to rod, does it (nut) have a hardened steel?
    I mean if somebody strong enough to cut out inner hex or broke nut it would be pain in one place to fix it unlike regular “fendery/gibsony” type of separate nut

  • @YoureNowOnTV
    @YoureNowOnTV 3 года назад

    If the tape was a little wider there’d be more chance for Chris to have a glue surprise and the squeeze out internally wouldn’t reach the truss rod heat shrink. Thanks for making another video. 😁👍🎸 A video about the minimum set of tools required to build guitars would be interesting.

I don't have much tools here. I can fix broken headstock manually. I don't have router, so, I do manual drilling the broken headstock for the dowels for additional hold after gluing it.

    @Texas Toast Guitars thanks for the video, Matt. Suggestion for another one: what options do you use to move forward after router bit tear out, chipping or riding into your body/neck wood. I routed 4 bodies over the weekend. The first one had some mild end grain tear out. The next one chipped an edge piece about a 1/4 inch under my template right out and the 3rd and 4th...oops, the double stick didn't hold and the bit carved into the bodies beyond my profiles. Rather than a "Design Modification," I will attempt to patch those spots. I changed things up on each one to see if I could get better results and no matter how I approached with shallower starting cuts, different router bits, even the pricey Whiteside spiral bit...I still have some repair to do. Would love to see some options on how you would handle repairing minor tear out, medium tear out or chipping or even riding into your body/neck wood...if you didn't have the super shaper.

    I get that with the coating on the rod that it will still work, I’m just curious, with the amount of glue that’s going to squeeze into the channel why even tape it off. Also, and I’m just asking your opinion, any truth to the idea that with hardened glue in the channel it has an effect on the operation of the truss rod. As in the hardened glue and the neck are harder for the truss rod to move, and that the truss rod will adjust smoother and with less effort than if it was trying to also overcome the glue that becomes hard like rock candy? I appreciate your thoughts
