Fabian God bless you sir! Thank you for this video. I just took the maple fretboard of a vintage MIJ Memphis P bass. I just took my time and made sure I had enough heat. I used a 1.5 inch flexible straight painters putty knife. The broken t-rod now can be replaced!

I own a 70s made in Japan Memphis guitar that has the same problem. But I tried forcing the neck the other way with clamps and quite lot of force, and it kind of worked fine. I don't know if it'll last. 2nd option is remove the fretboard too.

I seem to remember watching a video where they popped off the first and last fret and drilled a couple very small holes through the fret slot into the neck. When it came time to re-glue, they put small tack nails into the holes and everything was perfectly lined up with no sliding upon clamping.

IMPORTANT: When you glue the fretboard back on you can use either a quality brand of epoxy or Tightbond (the (water based) industry standard). If using the latter you need to make sure to force a forward bow into the neck (during the glue up, not after the glue has set) by adding a shim of about a 1/16" thickness between your clamping caul and the fretboard. Failing to do this will likely result in back bow (the water in the glue causes a convex warpage) that you will not be able to adjust out with certain types of trussrods. If this is your first attempt at this use a trussrod that can adjust for both forward and back bow.

I have recently decided to stop using adjustable truss rods in my guitar builds altogether. I use three 18" x .25" x .25" carbon fiber rods spaced at .375" on center. There is a small amount of natural relief that occurs under normal string tension, about .005". This can be increased by selectively dressing frets 4-9 a few thousandths lower than the rest of the frets, with emphasis on frets 6 and 7. My issue with mechanical truss rods has to do with the impracticality of servicing them should they fail. It seems silly to remove wood to install a device, which, in essence, replaces what that wood is meant for, but which is significantly more flexible. Enough luthiers have had long term success with only carbon fiber that I am confident in and convinced of its efficacy.

@FabiansTinyWorkshop2 жыл бұрын
Normally I would remove the old finish and refinish with a finish of your choice. In your case I don't know. Sometimes the clear coat is thick enough to sand it and put on a new clear coat without damaging the color underneath the clear coat. But you really only know when you try it.

Btw, i did not pickup the temperature of the flat iron. What temp did you set it?
