Refretting a Guitar with a Bound Fretboard | Masterclass

[@tonylewis1803]

As others said, they don’t make anymore. Minwax “paste finishing wax” works great.

Nice work Eric, I like the tip using the soldering iron to heat and remove the old frets… I sent my Taylor in for a expression system refurb and re-fret and they broke the binding in several spots and claimed “that always happens “ when I complained- if they took a bit more care like you do, I’ll bet that would minimize the damage to the binding.

Johnson Paste Wax was discontinued...that is why it exploded in price. There has to be a reasonable alternative on the market - any neutral wax should suffice.

How would you level frets on a compound radius board? A lot of modern guitars have a compound radius. Wow, I thought this would be a $3,000 guitar. The MSRP is $239! It's almost cheaper to buy a new guitar. If you sold the old one, I guess it would be. Austin's Strats are $179!!! What?! That's less than the Chinese knock-offs on FleaBay. These have to be bulk produced in China (or somewhere similar). There is no way to make a guitar in America at that cost. I doubt you could do it in Mexico either. Fantastic video, BTW.

I've heard they stopped making the Johnson's Paste Wax which is why it's so costly.

Can I ask : if I wanna change mid-jumbo frets to jumbo, do I have to saw the fret slot a bit or the hammering will push it in anyways? Thanks

They have Not Stopped making Johnson’s paste wax, it used to be made in the U.S.A. Unfortunately like most things it is made overseas.. After the Plague the whole supply chain is disrupted which causes Huge increase in costs to both the consumer & manufacturers. Sorry for the rant😵‍💫🤯 Great vid Eric👍👍🎸🇺🇸🎹🎼👨🏻‍🦯
