I used to have back in the early 80’s a aluminium neck Kramer Flying V bass , the neck dive took you to hell but it was totally indestructible, so many guitars out there are so fragile

I used to own a '63 ES-125TC. It needed a neck reset, so I passed it along to someone else.

Back in the 1970s, I used to work on brass(wind) instruments. Something people who are criticising you are maybe missing is "what the customer wanted". Yes, there are other ways you could have done the job, but at a price. Whether the customer was prepared to meet the bill to rebuild the whole dovetail, then use hide glue to secure it is something you obviously had to consider. Incidentally, it was Gretsch who used to put a long screw to secure the neck joint. Hofners mostly have a sort-of lazy tenon that comes apart over the years. At least they're easy to fix, though.

Yes the long form!

Dudes they all eventually need a neck reset they fold up like a lawn chair because there's nothing to keep them from slipping the kneck mounting block anytime the glue gets hot.

Wow!!   I have just finished a BUILD with neck recycled  from a MIJ  EPiPHONE bolt on acoustic!! Rebuilt the heel and tenon
Purchased an Epiphone/Gibson style body in the white out of Asia  and made and EPIPHONE 'Century' Model replica  no cutaway
I might share  a Christmas greeting just uploaded

That's unreal. I also owned a 1963 ES-125TC that eventually need a neck reset.

I can't believe people knocking your dialogs! I specifically watch your channel almost exclusively to hear your breakdowns on guitar and guitar-related subjects! I can't stand guitar repair videos that don't have the explanations of  whatever is being remedied!

Интересно!
Но так и не нашел продолжение

Finally a good axe. Some of your best work`No more Chibsons please.

Telescopic camera time!

What's the paper towel in the F whole??

I love that videos like this exist. My customers become lifers after seeing stuff like this.  😬

Proper repair would’ve included restoring the tenon with fresh wood FIRST…..and epoxy would’ve been completely acceptable in the restoration of the tenon itself. THEN shape that new tenon to fit the guitar perfectly. THEN use proper wood glue to install the neck.

You’ve essentially created a neck joint that will be unserviceable FOR LIFE.

Is that white paper in the F whole?

Can’t find part B…

The error of rushing

YOU DO VERY GOOD WORK 👍   LOT OF CHATER😊

Watch your channel and have used some of your teachings!

I'm a far worse tech than you. I eyeball everything and take way too long to set up my guitars. It took me about a week to set up my SE and close to a month to set up a Floyd Rose.

Not a luthier nor do I work on guitars, just curious and learning. Why would you not flatten the tenon on both sides and glue new wood and then clean up the neck joint and fit it properly? Did the client not have the budget for all that? Thanks for all the vids
