Somehow Dave has the best channel on youtube. Entertaining, informative, thought provoking, artistic, productive, relaxing, and that's just a small list of words that can be used to describe this channel. Keep up the excellent work Dave,, oh and Penny Black CD is great, Someday Id like to hear the story on why it never really took off.

[@fraenkiboii]

Yep! I fully agree bro! I learn a lot, I laugh to tears, I even adopted some swearing of Dave. Sometimes I find myself saying "Come on ... you can do it" :D :D :D

[@joeturner7959]

Two things: 1. I have never seen frets that shiny, and 2. I love his shirt.

[@timothymckane6362]

Wow. I keep lovin' these vids more and more. Keep up the great work Dave.

[@woodyh4650]

3-M makes the best stuff. Pricy like you say, but you get what you pay for.

[@AaronG72901]

Dave, your funniest video in my opinion is your "crazy neighbor fence video". That was actually the first video from you that I saw. It just popped up in my KZbin feed. If you fans haven't seen this video, and if it's still up, watch it. Dave's humor is top notch. I wish Dave had more crazy neighbors. If you want or need more then you are welcome to come to Michigan and film mine. Thanks for your great content

[@Riverdeepnwide]

😆😆 8:39 Dave I was drilling a Tele body Buddy & I made with a long series drill. The depth limit gauge I had on the tool was slipping unseen slowly up the helix as I went in until "Ooops!" With the wood chips up came some blue carpet from underneath the body. Deep enough!

[@johngilley3518]

Cool Dave, pretty neat using the ground plate under the pots. Will look for the 3M pads for sure.

[@jim.missywyant.kennedy2334]

Ace's Les Paul was the first guitar I really coveted. Thanks for trying to do something to make that pile play Dave. Never can tell what people will throw their money at to try and make their childhood dreams come true. Peace!

[@Ryan-re7oj]

Those 3M sanding sponges are awesome! I used them for the neck/fretboard on a project bass I had a few years ago and it was definitely worth the extra few bucks.

great work as usual dave your channel has influenced me to do some guitar repairs and builds of my own and im enjoying it very much too . i must say in all the years ive been watching your videos ive never seen you repair a musicman guitar or a PRS guitar . all the best from nottingham uk

[@gazmini81]

I thought so LOL

[@soupystevesguitarartsextra3697]

You are a true craftsman, you will find a fricken way, even when stuff is ridiculously wrong. This guitar would have ended up trash or a wall hanger if it wasn’t for you, and I’m sure if it was taken for repairs anywhere else , they would have said , Sorry but this is not fixable .

[@donaldholman9070]

[@Boston.Patriot]

I ran into the same issue with switchcraft LP selector switch, I opted to buy a long shaft version of the switch instead of routing the hole. I definitely would have gone the front of the guitar, it's just the way it goes for me.

No, summer sucks when every fucking day is 95 degrees and 95 % humidity.

[@coolmusic1579]

I use the flapper method also, but not on a guitar. 😱 😄

[@mikechristie7226]

just an FYI, you can buy counter sunk locking nut for the 3 way switch.

[@mikechristie7226]

It did for my Epiphone Zakk Wylde. This guitar has been upgraded to the ZW EMG p/u's as well as EMG pots and the Switchcraft switch. The ring (or whatever you would like to call it) was a dream for me. Otherwise I would have been fucked. I believe I got allparts.com.

[@mikechristie7226]

Sorry it was Stewmac.com. In my opinion, it looks way better than the stock one.

[@vertebralremains379]

It's cold gin time again! The Ace....from space guitar will haunt you forever it seems lol

[@raydowling4540]

I heard Spotsylvania was looking for flag ideas.

[@mikedambeck7136]

Not sure I like the brass plate ground plane for the controls vs the hard wire method. It will work fabulously at first but over time, brass tarnishes badly and it doesn't take very much humidity for that to happen. Spent some time in the Navy and saw the effects often even on shore installations. Tarnish will Gooch a ground connection in a NY minute. However, I have zero experience using it as such in a guitar application. Since I know you wouldn't Gooch a ground on purpose, would you explain why you prefer this over traditional and do you have long term experience with this not failing. Very interested as it is a much neater way of coupling ground through multiple points. Thanks!

[@loneypotarsi8446]

Won’t that piece of copper connecting the pots create a ground loop?

[@eschatts1]

What thickness is that copper shielding? That’s a good idea so you don’t have to do the ground wires. And where did you get it?

[@bullshitdetective1]

souldering! at last dave!!!

[@Ronno4691]

Spending an extra hundred bucks on an EPIPHONE Ace Frehley signature might have saved the owner of this Chibson the extra dough on upgrades, setup and electrics! Sand off the Epiphone logo off the neck and put a Gibson decal on and you're sorted!

[@tednugentlives]

I get these for under 300. The Epi is 800-900. Add a 3rd pickup to a epi or a better LP is easier. Its kinda Acey..

[@alaindore4144]

Let me see if I got this straight. The brass sheet acts as a common ground for all the pots. So can it also be the grounding point for the pickups, bridge and output jack? Seems like a perfect way to simplify the wiring in the Ibanez SR500 I'm refurbishing (that is a rats nest as your next video shows). By the way, I think I'll use aluminum instead of brass...it's a better conductor, cheaper and easier to find.

[@alaindore4144]

@@DavesWorldofFunStuff So only for grounding the pots to each other. All other grounds like normal?

[@jeffblake3564]

Dave, enjoy hanging out with you for a few minutes every week or two. I really like the design of your drill index. Can you tell us what brand it is. Looking all over the internet but can't find one. Maybe you can show a closer view of it on one of your videos. Thanks for keeping it real.

Like the ground plate idea. I had heard the shielding paint worked well on the single coil squeal so I got some but haven’t finished the mods I’m making. Have you used it? If so, opinions? Really dig your site and videos. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@Wraith35]

The flapper method?! Rotflmao!

Dave ... Q.?...... could you have taken the switch apart & made it look like the picture? ........ just axin .... ;-p

[@alanscharrer5255]

If you would have routed through the body at the selector switch, is there a way to fix it or are you gooched? This repair is really fascinating. Can't wait to seethe conclusion

[@alanscharrer5255]

Dave's World of Fun Stuff Your capability to utilize ALL types of techniques successfully drawn from all types of craftsmanship skills makes you THE GRAND WIZARD OF GUITAR REPAIR. And you are pretty damn funny

[@neilschlemeel5751]

i realize this post is 2 years old; so, Dave, you assume the control holes will be the same on the 'next' chibby you resurrect...did that pattern work on the next one or have you tried it? i suppose the cavity is cut on a jig. I did watch the Last Chibson video from a year later

[@Wraith35]

I wish to God that you were my luthier.

[@jokpyles]

Hello Dave, it seams tha in the double check, the mirror effect didnt be considered, in case the simetry of the four holes dont exist, the check could be failed. Am I right or I did a mistake?

[@JE12334]

I'm about to embark on a complete strip and re-wire on an epiphone LP...any suggestions on what kind of pots I should use? 300k or 500k? Vintage or Modern wiring? Am going to be dropping in a set of Duncan JB/Jazz. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks

[@Wraith35]

See that dotted red line?........

[@NachoManRandySandwich]

Hi Dave do you have any fret removal videos and if so can you post a link. I have an Epiphone SG that I did a fret level on earlier this year while on a luthier course (our teacher taught us practically nothing, we'd be lucky if he was around for an hour out of an 8 hour day) but it is already showing noticeable dents in the frets. I'd like to replace the frets without doing any damage to the fret board. Installing the frets is no problem it's just the removal of the old ones that I'm worried about, thanks in advance :)

[@NachoManRandySandwich]

Thanks Dave I'll have a search in the morning

When did you abandon using the 3M micro abrasive paper you recommended from Lee Valley?

[@bminor8092]

Can you remove the screws in the switch and re-position the wafers?

[@fuckingitupagain]

No. it comes apart kinda but the wafer stacks are stuck together and a switchcraft toggle is too expensive for me to try any further for something that does me no good.

[@mattrogers1946]

Yes. Need a proper tool to remove the nut.

[@sweettoof9002]

Hot dog wood lol

[@scottfossil7731]

Could you grind down the poker chip instead?

[@1040ecapja]

I thought body-mounted switches (Les Paul, 335, etc) always used a "deep collar nut", unlike pickguard-mounted switches (which can do with the normal nut). www.philadelphialuthiertools.com/electronics/switches/nickel-deep-nut-for-switchcraft-toggle-switch-fit-gibson-guitars/ Or, you can go ahead and chuck the wood but for 2.50USD you can take the high road.

[@arthurdduda63]

Everytime i think about buying a cheap les Paul knockoff , watching Dave changes my mind,.... although the reviews on the new Gibson inspired epiphone guitars all seem to rave about them,.. 600 700 buck epiphone or 1900, 2500 buck Gibson ? Could get a studio cheaper 1500 ....i guess it comes down to the body, solid , with real cap, or two or three piece with maple but veneer flames...?

[@tednugentlives]

Frankly its not worth the extra 400 to make it play decent. I will use it as a mule for pickup testing and stage diving. The Epi 1960 tribute is the best bet at about 500 used. Or maybe the Supreme. Its playability is very close as my Gibson standard, i have all 3. My hamer Satf from Indonesia is a close second.
