Charlies Chibsons Episode 6

[@johnnytheflyer]

Awesome seeing your work videos again Dave, hoping you’re feeling as good as you’re coming across. Peace!

[@leamanc]

Love me a good Dave vs. Chibson video.

[@DavesWorldofFunStuff]

Noted!

[@RichieLee-dn3fd]

It's a chibson Byrdland 'copy' / original style w round cutaway. Later versions had the hook cutaway, per yr Amboy dukes/ Ted Nugent reference.

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

Hang on there, pilgrim! You took a solemn oath to never ever again work on a chibson. OH how the mighty have fallen! 😁

[@T.TEXAS.TILLER]

Good time Charlie's got a Chibson

[@owboky102050]

In the 60's when Labor Day came around my dad he laughed and said every day is Labor Day he drove truck and always wound up working on Labor Day

[@unduloid]

Well, it's _labor_ day!

[@AmatHour]

Dave, I know you will never read this but I have been watching for years. Through your banter and technique I have learned how to make all my guitars play great. I live my life on the road and your videos are wonderful to chill out to in the hotels. Peace

[@paultraynorbsc627]

Thanks for sharing Dave Liverpool UK 🇬🇧

[@johnhackley1626]

I recall when Ernie gave you 2 E&B strings cause you were going to bust'em. I'm old. Greetings from San Luis Obispo, home of Ernie and National Reso. Thanks Dave for all you do for us knuckle busters.

[@MrJed50]

Love EB Hyper Slinky Bass strings. Affordable too.

[@davidjames4583]

Gibson Byrdland = Ted Nugent . 🎸

[@StevenHess]

I had the plastic bottle of CA Glue do he same thing. Random brand from Amazon. Now I store the stuff in a glass jar. Just saying. Live and learn.

[@dennisrohm6372]

I thought no more chibsons would cross your bench

[@malcolmhardwick4258]

Nice looking guitar !

[@blkjckgtr3075]

Nice Chibson Dave happy labour day,hope your health is getting better,Cheers!

[@kerrytimm9920]

Another good one, Thanks, Dave.

[@Riverdeepnwide]

Stripped truss rod nuts: Ball end Allen keys are not intended for more than minimal torque applications. Their smaller contact area will cut through the softer steel of a nut. Use the straight end with fully engaged contact. "Stripped" may mean a damaged internal or external hex. It may also mean damage to the threaded screw portion of the nut and/or rod from over-torque, cross-thread engagement, or just plain old years of use under tension. The less expensive import hardware is made of softer metals, not sure that I could even call some of them steel. There seems to be a lot more truss and fastener damage coming through the shop recently.

[@RyRyTheBassGuy]

Doesn't help that all the 4mm truss rod nuts aren't milled with very tight tolerances. Shame that all the manufacturers are too cheap to use the spoke wheel adjustments.

[@malcolmhardwick4258]

Big rule that one !

[@SeanKerns]

People generally (including "guitar techs") don't seem to know what to do with a floating bridge. I love them on my Gretsches and so forth, because it's so easy to get the intonation in the right range.

[@benallmark9671]

Great video Dave. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge with all us peasants. It’s appreciated.

[@benallmark9671]

Happy labour day !

[@Jah_Rastafari_ORIG]

I started storing my CA glue in glass bottles. I got sick of the tops getting glued shut if I didn’t use them for awhile. Now, if that happens, I can just cut the top off and easily replace it...

[@artrogers3985]

I don’t know what I’ll do if you retire 🎸 Headphone video for sure

[@ForgottenTupperware]

Davey sanding bridges in his underwear hahah. Missed ya buddy!

[@RaymondoGalfredi]

Thanks

[@johnvenditto2908]

I agree with other DWOFS'ers, looks like a Byrdland except for the rounded cutaway. Thank goodness for Charlie so we get setup videos from ya buddy, cheers.

[@telecatsermaster]

Ernie Ball-Sac 10’s are the best…

[@hangnman]

It's like an Epiphone Emperor Joe Pass kind of guitar look.

[@hangnman]

Not really too thin in the body.

[@lenleathers9481]

Love the shirt! Nice job Dave

[@WallofSounds5317]

Hello my fellow Torontonian Dave

[@KozmykJ]

I learned recently, maybe in the last year or two, that CA lasts longer if you store it in the fridge. I've not Frozen it, yet, but I've read that it's freezing point is low enough that it doesn't solidify at the regular freezer temperatures. You can find a similar, though not identical, tailpiece to that on a Gibson Byrdland Thinline. The famous Gibson L-5 has that body shape but it's deeper and the tailpiece is different.

[@scottwebb8151]

I've used cya type glues for years from model building to guitar repair.My experience is the longer it sets in the plastic bottle it melts into the plastic,and becomes useless goo eventually.Melting through is a trip though ..

[@halbertking2683]

I'm holding out for the Hondo copy of the Fender Lead ll .

[@davidwood351]

Amazing, on last Friday’s live show, I was thinking of asking if Charlie had any new Chibsons.

[@markconner6078]

Glad you are back at it!! Sorry about your FB accounts. That was sad to hear in another video. The bad fret ends is another reason I would never buy a Chibson, or "Cheapson" guitar. No mater the price point, at least build it right.

[@larryburwell8550]

glad to have you back here dave. great job on this chibson.

[@rickritman6913]

Good to see you still working , greetings from the Netherlands.👍👍

[@bigkm1974]

I like Charlie’s chi son videos

[@taimaishu-nao1922]

Hey Dave, great point about the chemicals within the CA glue possibly melting the bottle. I know that CA glue “melts” things together to get them to stick but perhaps whatever plastic they use for the bottle is reactive to their formula. Still, they need to make it up to you and own up to their own defect by replacing the stuff it ruined. But I feel like they’d likely screw you over and say “well if you don’t have a receipt we can’t do sh*t”. I don’t know. We shall see what they do now. Also, a good title for Charlie’s next Chibson: The Great Brown Buffalo Chip.

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

CA is not a solvent glue that chemically welds the materials being joined. It polymerizes through catalytic reaction with water molecules to create a solid acrylic mesh structure. I'm guessing the PE plastic bottle failed along a mold line.

[@pasteye1671]

Dave, I bought one of these (figured maple body with Venetian horn, rather than Florentine as here). Only needed to polish frets (a little dull on arrival) and oiled the fretboard. Sounds and plays beautifully. I suppose it's pot luck with these Chibbies, some are great and some not. Unfortunately because they are all mail order, you takes a chance...

[@mattgarcia9687]

I have my headphones on!! I don't feel cheated!!

[@ayeitsme6988]

Good to see you back, cheers Dave 🍺✌🏻

[@BasicDrumming]

I appreciate you and thank you for making content.

[@wwland]

I've used GHS since I was around 14 yo but you just made me want to make a change.

[@MC-et5rq]

working on a Chibson...ugh. Might as well go for a soda, nobody hurts, and nobody dies... nice video Dave. Love you brother!

[@stevenedwards4470]

That's a Byrd-ishland. You know, I bought Starbond in that same coffin and it dried solid before I even opened it. Maybe they need to look into their packaging.

[@protonmike]

So funny...😂 poor ol' Charlie spending so much to "fix" crap Cibsons he cooda bought half truckload of genuines. ROTFLMAO

[@MossMusic777]

I hope you didn’t catch the cat scratch fever from that thing lol.

[@ARWest-bp4yb]

Charlie loves his Chibsons!😄

[@mrabrasive51]

I bought a China Ovation acoustic 8 years ago thats sounds and plays great once I lowered the bridge and worked on the fretts..$320.00

[@leoamattnet4822]

Your Chibson videos are the best!

[@Stratboy999]

It may be a Chibson, but it looks nice. It looks a lot like my D'Angelico.

[@glennhynes5263]

It's actually a nice looking guitar though.

[@jeffrowlette]

To the haters: yes....I refuse to learn how to repair and do fret work on anything but a $6,500 REAL Gibson. That way I can tell my friends what a valuable guitar I ruined....and they'll all tell me how awesome I am.

[@daveanno754]

Next epidode : Wiley Wanker, Charlie and the Chibson Factory.

[@konkonidaris8469]

Looks like a copy of a Gibson Byrdland!

[@timothymckane6362]

Charlie cheerfully chose Chibsons.

[@tomk1tl39]

[@DiogenesCaulfield]

Charles chips man bring me a chibson

[@blkjckgtr3075]

Hey,Dave it could have been a defective bottle with a air bubble in it,and you got lucky or not,Cheers!

[@13coyote13]

Dave I've got high quality water based air brush paints that did the same thing, they're in a bottle about the same size as yours, not all of them but quite a few, go figure.

[@DavesWorldofFunStuff]

the bottle?

[@mikecollins8241]

Hey Dave! not sure if you haven't been posting much, or if YT just isn't showing me.. anyway, liked, commented, subscribed, Patreond...lol

[@erichartwell6792]

Indont think that guitar is worth fixing but as long as you get payed 💯

[@fuzzymuppet1990]

Dave have u ever messed with using Kapton tape for finish protection when messing with files?

[@petedazer3381]

Dave to the rescue!

[@ZorkusYT]

Charlie got the best chibsons

[@Myfingersstinklikefish]

Yes they burn longer than the fire starter wood

[@rhykko77]

Hey Dave .......do you still used Tung oil to recondition your fretboards ? Thanks

[@DavesWorldofFunStuff]

never did no

[@Melrose51653]

Watch more. Linseed Oil. Dave is correct- it's the best .

[@erichartwell6792]

You should sand the name off it cuz its not what it says it is💯

[@yobentley7274]

Is it supposed to look like a Bird Land? I though Ted Nugent owned all of those.

[@bengibson3955]

So Dave……..What are the action heights in mm? 🤔😂

[@DavesWorldofFunStuff]

no idea ..designed using inches

[@RaymondoGalfredi]

What is the order of events when performing a setup on a patient?

Hey Dave, on an unrelated topic, where do you get those syringes you use for glue?

[@DavesWorldofFunStuff]

Thanks

[@grahamdouglas1]

That guitar would look a lot better with a bigsby on it. That tail piece is the awful generic one on many Chinese semis

[@martinschopf1237]

hows the back dave hope it gets better, M

[@cajunqueen5125]

👍👍👍

[@fuzzymuppet1990]

You know , if china just put in 100 bucks more into fit/finish and better quality control per instrument and charged like 400 bucks or whatever... yada yada. Like, you can get a neck for usually 75-100 bucks on the regular but its big-time roullette. Wouldn't you think there would be a chinese company that would take a little pride and make necks for like $130-140 and be on the level of mighty might or warmoth ?

[@taimaishu-nao1922]

Sadly, the country you’re taking about is focused more on quantity than quality, even though there are genuine people who want to change the perception that “West Taiwan fakes everything” or only produces junk. West Taiwan needs to get their act together because they can build quality if they wanted to though their restrictive government says no.

[@MoeVanprick]

If it's not an authentic Epiphone or Gibson the real deals..I'll pass ..no chibsons for me

[@LarrytheMan-uc4ev]

Absolutely agree with you goggles piasano has videos posted of his 2021 High end Epiphones also with the specs so there's no debate dispute or arguments it's all there take a look 👍

[@willholly7526]

Use a big zip-lock bag to store your "loose" strings, keep Rocking Dave!

[@taimaishu-nao1922]

Only if you keep them in their envelope. Otherwise the damage it can inflict on you it’ll do to the bag.

[@erichartwell6792]

If you do the frett ends don't you need to be sure its level first?

[@DavesWorldofFunStuff]

no..they are just sharp

[@dontderockmerizz3211]

Really don’t like EB strings. Seen enough with some black jiz on them. I stick with GHS & SIT. They’ve never let me down.
