Hey Dave, I understand his video took longer to film longer to edit together and longer to render and upload and then longer for YT to do it's thing; but it was worth it. I really enjoyed it.

[@rfostore]

When I worked as a mechanic, we called this an in-frame major overhaul. You have the patience of Job. Nice work Dave, I am happy to see that sweet guitar get a new lease on life.

[@sweettoof9002]

A 50 minute DWOFS? Bonus.

[@vince_vatican777]

Smells like burning hair and toe jam. Classic Dave!

[@kjsdestin]

I fell in love with this guitar during the movie.

[@shartne]

I was in 2nd grade in June 1972 Deep purple Highway star was rocking on the radio. And my older brother was turning me on to all the cool music. hIghway star is still popular today. Someones Nasty DNA coming off those steamy frets YUK!

[@davestambaugh7282]

I always thought that the early Fender frets had to be tapped out sideways instead of pulling them up. I was aware that they are installed by pushing from the side instead of pushing them in from the top.

[@tomokra]

I commented on the last video, I know. But I had one of these, same year, same everything far as I remember (except for the switch). But, for what it's worth, first day I got it my band mates and I took it down to our basement, plugged it in, turned it up, tuned it down to DADGAD and hit an (almost) open D-chord ... and we all sort of stood around laughing at how long that chord sustained ... (this would have been circa 1989 btw)

[@runningwithscissors0911]

Wish everybody had your work ethic Dave ~ always precise, always careful, you pay attention to detail and you always do what it takes to do the job properly and correctly ~ no sloppy, "that's good enough" cutting corners.

[@gigmandrew8975]

Fender installed them from the bass side to the treble side. I have learned quite a bit from watching all of your videos. Someday when I'm not so poor I will send you a donation!

[@amandamoore8516]

Hi from UK - excellent work. I've bought the 2022 reissue of this model - it's such good quality, frets seem to hardly wear for some reason. Sound is powerful.

[@formula73]

Dude, I LOVE that you get to the end and get so enthusiastic about it. That’s the best feeling.

[@user54389]

Love the long-form vids man. You have given me the knowledge and courage to do my own bass setups, so thanks! Got the nut right, and the truss rod adjustment is adjusted. Next up, a neck shim to fix the string height and a fret job.

[@Woods_Hiker]

thanks for the full- length movie. Was trying to think of the name you used for old DNA & sweat and I remembered- "schwazz" 😁 that old '72 neck sure did have enough of that stuff WOW!!! You did an excellent overhaul and brought that axe 🎸 back to life 👍

[@chuckshaw1593]

Dave, the new song is rocking! Keep up the great work man! I want say a personal thank you, I've learned so much from you. And I can attribute you getting the repair tech position at Guitar Center for me. I know its not the greatest of places to work on guitars. But you gotta start somewhere. I will always refer to your channel when I run into a new problem, thank you again. Cheers!

[@rchydrozz751]

Give it another little turn, SNAP!

[@MichaelHall-meekness007]

I love those huge black dot markers.

[@tomastuharsky]

I have a '72 Thinline RI with correct pickups. Best Les Paul I've ever played!

[@SeanDS89]

Dave, you are a badass and we all love you... Never forget that

[@MervynPatterson]

Thanks for putting this longer video up Dave. Very interesting to watch you working through all the stages. Sweet result! Thanks!

[@martinchamberlain8948]

Dave giving the finger to a Rickenbacker nut in the intro photo montage...priceless. 😆

[@davidaylsworth8964]

Dave’s Magic Toe-Jam Cologne- you sure know how to paint a picture. Nice work on that Tele.

[@BobJones-px6si]

Great job Dave, Seeing Almost everything, I really liked it, we have a winner!

[@BenCoombs]

Was listening to Penny Black on the drive home today!! Great album!!

[@billybrindier6509]

Trust Dave. He knows what he's doing.

[@rickhubbard7342]

As it's2am here in England I just watched the whole video with headphones on. The resulting ringing in my ears is a blessing as i can hardly hear my cat yelling for food so thanks Dave, as always a job well done :)

[@raychavezmt]

That was a great one Dave. Thanks so much for all your effort with putting up these vids!

[@MrDangard]

Like the tune. It would be great for a movie soundtrack!

[@petedazer3381]

Great video Dave, I really like the longer more complex jobs.

[@meatrocket1]

Pete Dazer actually wish they were longer 👍🏻

[@rodparker4514]

Just found your stuff and like it a lot , More please !

[@TheAxe4Ever]

Beautiful work sir!! It’s a pleasure watching a skilled tradesman at work. I learn so much watching your videos.

[@johnnyguitar65]

Dave I could sit and drink coffee and watch you work on guitars for hours. Great stuff!

[@jamesmatthews5639]

sniff sniff must have been a good trip up north.

[@rickallen6378]

His nose was hungry.

[@howardmaryon]

I used to do a bit of work on shotgun stocks. They sometimes needed bending to fit the owner better. Lots of different methods all involving heat. When un-clamped they always “ sprang back” a bit.

[@chillax141]

Very enjoying to watch

[@DavesWorldofFunStuff]

Thanks for the visit

[@SeanKerns]

Trippy new intro. Funkadelic!

[@TheFULLMETALCHEF]

Production on this video is one of your best yet. Loved the opening montage.

[@donhall-aquitania1025]

Great video Dave. I’m over bone nuts. You really brought that Tele back to life.

The actual WRHs are great. Sonic Youth, Keith Richards, Rich Robinson, Radiohead. The boutique clones sound good. I saw a great 70s Starcaster at Trading Post 35 years ago, for probably less than $600. Nobody wanted these oddball guitars then! Oh yeah and 70s Les Pauls were $350, all day long...

[@BarqB]

Yeah the old WR Pickups sound awesome. Im spying a set of revelle pickups for it and Kluson locking tuners. I love the guitar. It really comes alive as it starts to feedback the whole thing roars.

[@jdurkin227]

What a beautiful guitar!

[@davidtexmex1616]

Love that intro, got the funk & classic upload snapshots, nice one 👍🏼

[@mmccullough3951]

Love the new Intro Dave..and of course the Channel !

[@wademiyataki9221]

Great job pulling those flat frets! Flashed back to the Geico commercial, Smells like burnt hair and feet!✌️

[@bristolfashion4421]

I watch a D'sWoFS video and think, "Gee - I can do that!". Then I try it and think "Gee - Dave made it look so easy!"...

[@derekhaas5141]

Love the 'full detail' vid - thanks Dave

[@MrSongwriter2]

The frets have to be pushed out sideways on pre 82 I think the year was strat necks. You get significant chip pulling from top like you are. That’s why you found it so hard. There’s a Stew Mac and a few other videos about removing frets sideways

[@mojekh]

Agree 100%...pulling the frets sideways will keep fretboard from chips and the luthier replacing the frets next time will be thankful for that😉

[@mojekh]

@@DavesWorldofFunStuff now enjoy the refretted guitar 😉

[@DmaraGuitars]

Make some cuts on the top of the frets the take a punch a screwdriver whatever gets you the grip you need and tap them out sideways. In my 20 plus years as a luthier I’ve never had a problem taking the frets out sideways no matter how low they were. I always install the new frets sideways on vintage Fenders. But hey, you do it your way, and I’ll keep it original and do it my way.

[@MrSongwriter2]

Dave's World of Fun Stuff watch this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5nYmKKdqbB0hqM

[@pedraw]

Awesome Telecaster for half a century old. You do great work Dave but I'm sure you know that. Keep on keepin' on.

[@stevebumstead9840]

I like the long videos David.

[@jamiespeirs885]

Dave what a great video must have been a big job thank you for that. Have a great day tomorrow (Friday 7th) I'm in Scotland or I would pop in

[@j_freed]

The neck finish on this old beast is certainly polyurethane, which I believe has got much different properties than lacquer hence the very stubborn fret tangs. I'll remember that if I refret my 68 re-issue. Great stuff Mr. Dave!

[@bobross5580]

This guitar is well worth the effort, the pups are incredible. Just a fantastic example of these Thinline models! I owned a 2016 model and had the pups reworked @Brandonwound but still I do not think they really sounded like vintage.

[@daviddaniels6473]

Love the content AND the tunes!

[@southgallatin]

great work, Dave! this was a good watch

[@relzric]

Burning hair. That's kind of funny because I had the boiler flash back on me today. Have a fresh sense for the explanation.

[@richdelb]

This is such a cool channel to watch. Thanks for what you do!!

[@tomk1tl]

LMFAO...the smell of hair and " toe jam"........very educational video, learned a lot on this one......tks Dave ! ! ! !

[@briano.5746]

Cool intro Dave , and man I'm a sucker for a Tele! Especially when it's full of hummers. I would love to put my grubby paws all over it.

[@MrOne2watch]

WOW, what a great video !!! made my day !

[@Ryan-ve9wu]

Great video, Dave! Glad to see you got it back on the road. I don't think you even broke a sweat during this overhaul.

[@thomasspravka1370]

It's either Zen or the loony bin, I admire your choice!

[@renebustos87]

I really like your style of work and your approaches to certain little bugs that might come up. I am really thankful to have found your videos. Thanks to that I’ve started using some of your tips and suggestions, Ive been able to fix, mod and bring my old affinity squier bass up to a level better than MIM Fenders. Huge fan of your work boss! Hope to see many more of your videos in the future. Cheers!

[@TheEvermillion]

Really enjoy your content Dave,I have learned quite a bit from your videos, sending good vibes and positive karma your way from Indiana.

[@cyb3r3vil30]

Like the new Opening!😎 TFS Enjoyed!😁

[@dontbovver4413]

just put my 74 sg custom into the shop for a refret. sad days but hopefully she will live to play another day.

[@musicplaylists59]

I'm having a hard time trying to sort out my strats neck like this at the moment. I left it tuned up to F# for about a week and ended up with the perfect amount of relief but after about 24hrs it went back to how it was before. It currently has enough relief to play ok but i would prefer a little more ideally. The guitar has a lot of sentimental value to me so I'm going to persevere with it. I might try clamping it next, for a while.

[@grantkoeller8911]

Use the truss rod, measure neck relief, with strings at correct tuning, (correct tension) adjust truss rod, either tighten it, or loosen it.depending on which you need to go.

[@musicplaylists59]

@@grantkoeller8911 the problem was that it didnt have enough relief but it was already at the loosest the truss rod would go, so that was as much relief as i could get by adjusting the truss rod. so i had to try other methods, luckily i got the neck to have a bit more relief by leaving very heavy strings on tuned up to a high tension, with a wooden block under the strings (stretching them for even more tension) and leaving it like that for a couple of weeks if i remember right. it just about worked thankfully, so i didn't end up trying the clamping method.

[@indignow]

wow 50 minutes of fun times....

[@glennselwitz1377]

Sweet Tele nice job with good tips!....I'm sure you could still sing and hit those notes...you might need a cattle prod and a gas mask.. lol....

[@cptntwang]

Fantastic! What a good job And now wonderful guitar

[@davestambaugh7282]

Water pump feeler gages are hard to find these days. They are the ones that are tapered on the end to fit in the pump to check the clearance.

[@analogoutdoors]

You need to keep that intro. Awesome!

[@MyFirstGen]

Another great video Dave! Thanks

[@guitarstrunged]

Human Remains And Old Lacquer. Sounds like a great song title. Maybe a song about someone in the mortuary.

[@Ndlanding]

Could be about Rick Astley. Naw, Rick Kershaw is more apt. Or Nick O'Teen. (c.f. Rolf Harris)

[@guitarstrunged]

@@Ndlanding Or just about some old guy and his old wife. That's why I think it's a great title, could mean lots of different things.

[@gr8tnowwhat]

Lotta work on that one. Looks dam good though!

[@runnningonempty]

I have clamped guitars and necks many different ways..But the last few times I just open my top drawer of my dresser and clamp the neck down with a big paint stick on the frets and a valve spring compressor for 2 weeks...Keep laughing. works great and its out of my way

[@stanparsley9186]

Cool new intro Dave!

[@SeanKerns]

This reminds me of a question that came up during the Greco repair. When you're gluing a fret that's lifting, why wouldn't you put the glue in first, and then clamp it, instead of clamping first. It seems like gluing after clamping wouldn't let the glue in.

[@thenickolau5542]

Hey man, great vid, as always. What frets did You use to refret? The size? Thx!

[@irishwanderer4206]

good music

[@KozmykJ]

I've changed those old socket plates, my own Tele has one now. I just wondered; would it work if the old one were drilled and screwed in place like the new design ones ? One way of keeping that antique/relic'ed look ...

[@gigmandrew8975]

I should have said that if you tap them out from the bass side to the treble side they might have come out easier for you.
