Welcome to the world of a fake luthier that makes guitars out cigar boxes, coffee cans, license plates and decrepit econo archtops. You've found the worst of the worst. Be prepared to be completely and udderly disamazed.
I have a sexto I have to repair. Can't wait to watch this to help understand the instrument a little better. There's no brand name or markings at all so I know it's the real deal.
Thanks for watching Roger. Once I realized that focusing force on one clamping spot was not going to be effective, much less more likely to create additional damage, things came together much better )))
I just bought a 1960 Harmony Monterey that has a slightly loose neck. It stays in tune at a whole step down, but will stay in tune at normal pitch. So I started looking into how to reset the neck and found this video. Now I get to go back and see all your other videos to learn the prep, but I am looking forward to trying this. So a huge THANK YOU for taking the time to teach us yahoos how to do this!!!
Great video. Any idea where I could find neck binding to match a 50's K-161? Luthier here fit a nee piece which is too creamy - the Old Kraftsman binding seems to have translucent greenish tint ivoroid look.
For what it is worth I have been having great success cleaning and restoring plastic using the Meguire PlastX with a Rupes blue wool pad on a rotary buffer.
