A bit of care for this Gibson

In this video you will see another simple Gibson Les Paul maintenance. In which I level the frets, slightly correct the unsuccessful paintjob of the headstock, replace the mechanics, the nut and make a general setup of the instrument.

There some typical YT scam activities, beware. If you got similar messages this is definitely not me. I do not provide any giveaways or somenthin that kinda stuff.

[@chriswebber2937]

I’m just curious do you mainly fix guitars or do you play for fun as well and are these your guitars you fix or other people guitars.

[@axe2Mummy]

Tanya which fret crowning file are you using here . Is that the FG diamond ? Looks like a nice tool I’m curious. You may do well posting affiliate links for some of the luthier tools you use . Thanks for the vids

[@TanyaShpachuk]

​ @JoeyChopstixx Yes it is a fg diamond dagger, but it was out of stock when I check last time. Also their action gauge is a must have))

[@axe2Mummy]

@@TanyaShpachuk Thank you, that is an impressive looking file for sure

I received a scammer saying it was you.

The world would be a better place if everybody was a Luthier. 👍

[@PeterLohmannWeiss]

Another great video! I love when you comment/describe what you are doing, and why. Please continue doing that! It’s also nice that you take us up close to the fine work when filming. Am glad I still have a lot of your videos left to enjoy…

[@thysdreyer6886]

Its weird , I am a luthier and still enjoy watching luthier videos. Even after working on guitars the whole day.

[@sensaschonduran6730]

Excellent work, again! I'd love to hear you play the guitars after you work on them! Anyone else?!

On some of her videos there are cc explanations. Just click the cc notification. I personally prefer the lack of talking but having her comments via text is also nice. To each their own. I

Excellent work, Tanya. It's obvious you take great care in your work and the results are fabulous.

Fabulous work, Tanya! Loved that you went for the new nut rather than fill with superglue and bone dust! ❤

[@TanyaShpachuk]

Thank you! CA is a great quick fix, but I always prefer new nut :)

[@dmytrotarasov9477]

Порожек виглядав би трохи краще, якщо його точити знизу, або зрізати лишнє зверху. Ті глибокі слоти, що залишилися - то не дуже охайно виглядає) Краще, коли всі струни (окрім першої та інколи другої) лежать в слоті, але трошки випирають з нього. У мене наприклад струни з обмоткою в слоті лише приблизно на половину.

[@naztynaz5072]

I wish I could do half the stuff you do in your videos. Your fret work looks outstanding. Inspires me to do more than just my normal setups. Keep it up!

[@TanyaShpachuk]

Thank you!

[@personchen]

If u can play the guitar after u finish the job…that will be perfect 🎉

[@jonathanramsey8582]

No need this is like ASMR just the way it is your doing just fine keep it up I fall asleep watching these I'm a drummer but I love guitars!

[@intargc]

Yeah, please don’t start playing the guitars at the end. There are thousands of guitar playing videos on KZbin. Yours are unique. Showing your skills without talking or music and just the sounds of your labor is what makes these videos so enjoyable.

[@stringlocker]

I agree there's too many critics. Critics is a nice word.

[@mavhunter4053]

I was thinking the same. Although I get why some would only want the asmr part of the video. Maybe a video of just playing before and after would be nice.

[@user26344]

Nothing beats the look of mirror polished frets 😍

[@Paul-rt4ix]

How would i get them to that polished state?

[@user26344]

@@Paul-rt4ix after sanding them with high grit sandpaper, you polish them with polishing compound. It's a paste that you rub into a polishing pad and then rub the surface with the pad. It's best to use a power tool to speed up the process. A dremel with a polishing pad attachment is what Tanya is using in this video.

[@Paul-rt4ix]

@@user26344 Thank you 😉

[@ousley421]

Thank you for caring about these old instruments, they bring joy.

[@tedrowland7800]

Nice work as always. I love graph tech nuts for L.P. style guitars. You and my wife share the Tanya name. She is actually "Tatyana", born in Siberia and moved to Yerevan Armenia as a teenager. Then to America and we met and married in 2007. She does industrial sewing, I repair and rebuild guitars/build acoustic after retiring as a carpenter. Thank you so much for ALL the wonderful videos you have made.

[@HearGear]

i´ve been building and repaired guitars for almost 30 years and what you did here is spot on, great job... :D Thanks

You are great. Keep doing what you do. It’s a lost art. So nice to see someone doing this work. Great stuff!

Great work, pretty guitar. I love a Les Paul. That one looked barely played. EDIT: I have a 78 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe (Black Beauty) That I am getting restored now as we speak, and this is great to watch.

[@DmitrySevereign]

Отличная работа! Верхний порожек нужен костяной, у него другой тон. И прорези для струн должны быть ложбинкой так, чтобы струна лежалана на 1/3 своей окружности и не глушилась, как если бы она лежала глубоко в прорези.

Sweet little wrench for that pickup switch nut.

[@sampledude8846]

There's no reason to tap the frets in with the dead blow hammer if they are not loose. The blow could actually loosen the fret. You do a few things without reason, and that's not necessary.

[@John-d9e4x]

Why not a fret clamp?

[@eddiejr540]

@14:35…I have never seen anyone check nut slot depth like that…it’s brilliant…well done👍

[@TanyaShpachuk]

Thank you!

[@tomahoks]

I would have used baking soda and superglue to build up the slot. No kidding.

[@TanyaShpachuk]

Previous was graphtech too , and I found that with time soda and ca not really likes to bond with this material

I used to have a Gibson Flying V and it came with those plastic head Kluson (?) tuners, and they were awful. If I'd kept it, I'd have put some proper tuning machines on it, for sure. That thing looked fabulous once you got through with it!

[@jonboy8181]

Loved the video, only I really wanted to hear it at the end.

[@Mike-Olds-1]

I have bought a few Les Pauls brand new over the years and the frets didn’t look as nice as the ones you reworked. 👍

[@RobMontier-dx2go]

Totally agree with you. people wouldn't buy a new car and then kick in the panels and break a window just to give it more mojo. So why do it to a guitar? It doesn't make sense to me.

Well done, I do work on guitars as well just not for a living though. I mulled through a few of these comments and had to laugh a bit thinking to myself if half these comments would even be there if you were a guy lol! Regardless, nice refinishing job on this LP 🤙

What was that fret crowning tool you used? I have never seen one like that.

Great Job on it ! But somebody should paint it TV-Yellow or Creme-White . But that's just a personal opinion . 😊

[@leviathan_is_me]

I can play the guitar, have for 20ish years. Self taught 100%, which means I am NOWHERE near as good as I should be. Lately I have found myself getting more enjoyment out of luthier work rather than playing. I just LOVE working on my guitars. Swapping electronics, pots, pups, wires etc. Stripping and refinishing. Removing old caps and adding flamed maple caps and staining...it is endlessly enjoyable. Playing has totally taken a back seat.

[@CrazyKnkb]

that off centre treble - rhythm switch cap though

[@heavybrett-al4082]

It's like your Indiana Jones of guitars... uncovering the guitars mysterious history, by restoration. Done done done daaa ....done done done! 🎸

Good morning beautiful your work is wonderful

[@jeejeeism]

After a nightshift it was great to wake up with Your new vid but Yaiks😬 looked a bit scary with that spacer of G string tuner when removing it but it all went alright. And yeah, some patient is needed in the path of polishing or like some Aussie said it, It's a long way to the top.. and so on. Waiting Your next vid already, with next set of strings You'll do it😊

A running commentary would be nice or subtitles. Very impressed with your work. Well done. 😊

[@scottreeves1226]

Very fine work. Thanks! Two questions. 1. Why do folks glue on the nuts? I've never used glue for a nut that fits. I also change strings one at a time unless cleaning someone's ill-treated, contaminated guitar. 2. What on earth happened to that guitar's finish?!?

[@TanyaShpachuk]

Few drops of glue is always good idea, add some secure, and fill the air gaps. Someone did a really horrible refinish job)))

Wow you give such loving care to each guitar. Can I send mine to you for work?
