Guild Starfire Neck Ep2

Published 2023-07-29
Hello People!
Guild Starfire III Neck Reset episode 2…….
When I talked about using a clothing iron to heat the fretboard extension, I placed the iron on the frets, not on the rosewood. I heat treated the neck before pulling the frets.

    Like that guitar. Glad you got all the various wipes and dissolves out of your system in Part 1.

    I don't think I could ever do that kind of work and be any good at it at all but it sure is a lot of fun to watch You.

    Hey man I appreciate your approach to repairs. Enjoy your willingness to go beyond the traditional repair methods. Each repair gets what it needs. Especially enjoy your sense of humour. Nice work mate!

    Nice! If you look up the Safety Data Sheet for the GB accelerator it's safe from Cancer-causing ingredients.

    Nice trick on the small add to the dovetail. I have a neck reset coming up and need all the help I can get!

    Very nice work you did on this oldie Guild. Beautiful! I have an earlier serial number 1966, but fortunately it doesn’t need a neck reset, and plays pretty good. It’s always been kept in the case, so it’s still in good condition. I’m not qualified to do the work you did on this one, except the tuners, but I learned a lot, and it was really interesting.
  • The colour and all the fixtures and fittings remind me heavily of a Hofner Verythin I worked on from the same era. I can't imagine it is the case, but are they connected in some way?

    really cool guitar, I recently played the reissue (modern) model and it's also very nice.

    New sub, digging the content. And super glue is my favorite. It’s like pin or Brad nails for Norm Abram; why would I do a project without it?

    Love your videos! Learn alot! Big fan of shellac as well for touch ups. What brand is the Bordeaux dye?
