Refret to stainless steel and restoration of a Gibson Flying V

Recently, steel jumbo frets have been quite popular. And how exactly I install them, I will show in this video using as the example Gibson Flying V with an ebony fretboard.
Also we launch YT sponsorship, and already have educational content about fretworks.
Detailed description of video, tools and agents used will be a bit later on my Patreon.

These are my favorite guitar restoration and repair videos because there's no music or voice over - just the sounds of the instruments being repaired!

[@TanyaShpachuk]

Thank you!🫶

[@tetedur377]

I like watching twodfrd as well. He's a little more talkative, but he also plays a rif or two at the end of most videos.

[@Peck_Bull]

Agreed!!

[@Mormotic]

yeah dude :D I agree!

[@fabriziot1467]

indeed

[@TanyaShpachuk]

!!!! ATTENTION !!!! We have a huge YT scam activity, so I remind you again - I do not hold any giveaways or contests, moreover, I do not have a public telegram channel, if someone try to contact with you like this - block them! Be careful and don't fall for such scams.

[@RicardoGordo]

This is pure asmr for guitar players!

[@sebastianpizano6610]

Absolutely yes

[@em-dashman4404]

Yup. Sleepy now 😂

[@burtosu86guitar]

Yes it is

[@joshbabbitt9243]

Would be absolutely DELIGHTED to have someone with such impeccable work, working on guitars near me!

[@tetedur377]

I love watching you work. The videos are calming and relaxing, especially the ones that are a little longer, like this one. I know it's extra work for you, and I appreciate that. In the long run, it can only benefit you.

[@kennylongnose4001]

Me too...you really seem like a person who knows at every moment what the problem is and how you will solve it. If you weren't this, maybe you should have been a doctor? But, does it seem to me or is it just me: with every new video and new details in nail polish?

[@KennethRrvik]

Watching a beautiful instrument of this kind get cleaned up and set up is soothing. Thanks!

[@ShadowSloth3]

This is like the best mashup of ASMR and satisfying videos. It really feels so good to see that gentle process and the spectacular payoff. Like all is right in the world for this moment.

[@stevemondragon5499]

The only request I’d make is for more subtitles on what and why you’re doing for us that aren’t in the know so we could be in the know 😆

[@KerteszHuba]

Just starting to repair guitars and learn things to do the " proper" way, your channel is actually more helpful than a lot of books or pdf's that I found in the webs.. Thank you Tanya ! 🙏

[@MrRoderickkohn]

As always, very nice work young lady. I do appreciate you are being a little more in depth showing the rounding off of the fret ends and showing how it takes a little more than a few taps to seat the new fret in the slot. Also the close ups of removing excess super glue with the chisel. And nice nails too!!!! Always a different nail polish job for every video, nice touch and it gets our attention.

[@craigbransfield9078]

Very thoughtful and careful work. Best regards, safety, and happiness to you, your family, and your countrymen 👍👍

[@AndrewChilcott100]

Very nice work ! I like the addition of the subtitles 😊

[@TanyaShpachuk]

Thank you!

[@francescroig2446]

My admiration for Tanya's talent. It relaxes me to see her work.👌👍

[@dimitriskalaskanis2343]

Your videos are very calming. You are the Bob Ross of guitar repairing.

[@DoktorDamage]

Just found your page today. Your attention to fine detail is immaculate. Nice work Tanya!!!

[@deanbartone8187]

I have to say I recently discovered your channel and I am quite impressed with the work that you do I myself do my own guitar work, and recently started doing fret work. Of course, starting with cheap guitars and I must say you are very inspiring. I have learned a few tricks from you. Also thank you for sharing your craft. I will keep watching your videos. You have excellent craftsmanship.

[@bluephoenix3865]

I remember back in the day when I was not a guitar player I never liked that shape but now I’m in love with that shape, beautiful😎❤️

[@dangerousXS]

Thank for your hard work ! I've learned alot & enjoyed it, too. I just tinker and assemble "bitzas" - bits a this, bits a that. Your videos have demystified what goes into things like a refret. Now if only I had your patience, talent and skills !

[@czechmate9497]

I'm hooked! I woke up this morning to get ready for work when I stumbled onto a short of hers! I got back into bed and said NOPE to work today!

[@M4DR1U5]

Wonderful job! Wishing you the best in these troubling times!

[@TanyaShpachuk]

Thank you so much 🫶

[@hellomynameisbenjaminupton]

I love watching you refret guitars. You make it looks so easy.. I love working on my guitars, but have never had the confidence to do a refret.. Maybe one day I will. Thank you.

[@pdstokes8]

Beautiful job. I love the Flying V, one of my all time favourite guitarist Andy Powell plays one.

[@StephenLight-oc3tl]

I only discovered your channel a short time ago, but I really enjoy it. Keep up the great restorations. Love them. Take care.

[@tottipertutti]

Vederti lavorare è meraviglioso. Hai una cura incredibile nel fare le cose. Sei bravissima!

[@chrisdudeword1]

Beautiful work!! Listened and watched before falling asleep. Quite satisfying. Planning to have a shop of my own soon. Inspiring to watch you work!

[@lenniejosephful]

I love your work and watching you do this. I have a Flying V just like this.

[@mikedinjoliet]

You do excellent work. Thank you for sharing your craft with us

[@TNTales]

That is a gorgeous piece of ebony. Beautiful work as always.

[@marshallohio5512]

This lady is definitely a smooth talented individual 😊

[@robertjones2787]

I love your restorations. Just wish that you would talk us through what you are doing and why. Maybe we all could benefit from your knowledge. I sure would!

[@robertjones2787]

And also give us demonstration of the final project.

[@jeanlawson9133]

I have owned several V's and Explorer's and they all have their own voice, moreso than any other.... Your videos are awesome 👍 Thanks so much.

[@douglasholdenjr.45]

You're a true craftswoman!!!! Impeccable work!!!! Cheers from Florida. 🎉🎉🎉

[@TanyaShpachuk]

Thank you!

[@douglasholdenjr.45]

@@TanyaShpachuk You're very welcome

[@lukecuxton1514]

I just love watching you work ❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@IL2TXGunslinger]

Beautiful jumbo stainless frets!

[@narcissustorres5102]

You do amazing work, and YOU ARE AMAZING YOURSELF!!!

[@rajarahman9823]

Nice work. Never give up on a job. You want clients to say, “Tanya’s does an excellent job and she takes great pride in her work”. If in doubt, never be afraid to to ask for advice or assistance. Keep up the good work but also, know when to go on holiday.

[@debhart4302]

So enjoyable watching you do your awesome work!

[@FastRedPonyCar]

I've watched several of your vids now and they're all great. You and TWoodfrd are wizards with some of these repairs. A lot of work (like refret) that I don't want to attempt on my own guitars. I've got an old Tokai les paul badly needing a refret job so it was neat to see the process. I'm surprised the owner of this V didn't want you to install the Kluson locking tuners and throw those Magnums in the trash. I had the magnums on my Tokai for about a year and they were really a pain in the ass.

[@EiziKreizi]

Just discovered this channel yesterday and now I’m binge watching, great video’s🤘😉

[@Strumbum01]

I could watch these all day long. Great work!

[@daveshepherd7582]

Beautiful fret work on this stunning V!!

[@vroge3275]

Very relaxing to watch, but I'd be a bundle of nerves looking after such lovely guitars. Looking forward to the next one.

[@TanyaShpachuk]

Thank you!

[@alessandroferraro5743]

Tu trasmetti un amore per il tuo lavoro in maniera fantastica grazie Alessandro dell'Italia

[@JazzStrat781]

Great job and attention to detail 🎸👍 those polished frets look so awesome!

[@martinbeaudry9475]

SO SHINY.!!! Awesome work

[@jeffchase2491]

Watching your videos makes me want to work on my basses. Maybe some day.

[@downtown4028]

My 1990 Greco Mint recently had jumbo stainless installed, great option. All my primary instruments have stainless steel.

[@TheIsahn]

Just the natural sound of repairing , great

[@sergejk]

Hi Tanya! Great work! Love to watch! If you could present us action at the nut in numbers for each string? That would be great! Thanks!!!

[@mitchmurrell753]

Nice refresh for a worthy old soldier!

[@rickmasseur2008]

I love watching you work!

[@thomasbarker642]

I’ve watch loads of luthiers do this job and yours is top notch

[@PhpGtr]

This is the best thing I have watched all week, and I have been goofing off the entire week on YT. Well-done.

[@ClintHennis-zy9ck]

You do great job. And you have beautiful hands. And I heard you sneeze on another video and you have the sweetest little sneeze I've ever ♥

[@My_Life_ua]

Просто дивовижний процес реставрації! Вже скільки переглядаю Ваші відео, постійно бачу якісь нові інструменти! Це ж яка потрібна відкалібрована точність усіх приладів, щоб кожна деталька відмінно стала на своє місце! І ще прикольно іноді виглядає манікюр, як маркери на грифі, доволі символічно! 😊 Гарна робота, 👍🏻 як і власне сама гітара! 🎸

[@TanyaShpachuk]

Дякую)

[@pk952]

I love how you don’t put too much bevel on the fret ends.

[@treyfixes884]

Your feet press is badass!

[@HardwoodFloorRefinishing101]

Amazing attention to detail!!!🎸

[@wb8802]

Masterful work; glad I found your channel

[@zepp3lin]

I own 7 electric guitars, so I did all six with stainless steel frets, I have not refret my 7th guitar because my tools are all blunt except for the files. I need a new fret cutter and my tang cutter tool broke on the 6th guitar...have not ordered it yet and it's been 2 years since I DIY my own stainless steel fret job. After watching your video, it kind of inspired me to finish up my last 7th guitar. Right now that 7th guitar is sitting inside the case without any frets on...🤣

[@Captain_Yata]

Normally I'm not a huge fan of stickers on guitars (obviously people can do whatever they want though) but the black skull theme on a white V looks so cool :)

[@gdnrecords]

Beautiful very relaxing to see how you make this precious craft, also wondering in which part of the world you are located at, just wondering if You could receive my beautiful and beloved Epiphone black beauty for grneral maintenance and refret service and also if possible refinish of the opaque paint.

[@Plowguitarist]

Beautiful job young lady. How convenient it would be to have my lady as my guitar tech also. 🥰🥰

[@TheWelhaven]

Nice. I’ve a white Flying V from 1995 myself.

[@tombarone5657]

Great job. And the sub titles were a really nice touch.

[@KFrantz]

Beautiful job Tanya !

[@MEGAMIGA]

This was very relaxing to watch!

[@fordsrestorations970]

I have been doing Museum Quality Antique Restoration starting at the age of 5 over the years I learned a couple things , watching this video reminds me of my own hands. -->Tanya you know what that means.. excellent work !

[@smokepeddler]

I love stainless frets. They last forever and feel so nice.

[@METALMISFIT6]

Hii ..just found your Kool channel..I absolutely love listening and watching you ..I'm The Rythmn Guitar player for DOWN2KILL..you are a true artist..well just wanted to say hii..and I love your work

[@davespears2241]

Nice work lovely guitar.

[@BorneoHeadhuntMuslimTribe]

My favroite guitar repair..hope have more videos from you

[@jazz_grooves]

12-60 gauge strings wow! What a workout!

[@fredepstein]

Excellent fret work! Congrats!

[@Peck_Bull]

I love your videos and I learn a lot to take care of my own guitars. Thanks!!❤❤❤

[@jeremiahbeck3292]

Great job on the flying V.

[@orionwarren4244]

Nice ASMR tab-pull at the very end!

[@BadSector]

awesome job, I am thinking of doing stainless steel frets on my main strat, they are close to worn out and I need to do a refret soon

[@diretsound5668]

Enhorabuena!!!!! Grandísimo trabajo. Felicidades Tanya!!!!❤

[@TanyaShpachuk]

Thank you so much!:)

[@daviddaniels6473]

Beautiful work!

[@paulwhitford7579]

Like watching a pro doing careful and quality work

[@rodrod5000]

I should review your technique for setting the slot depths for the nut. Thank you for your great videos!

[@ThatOtherRaccoon]

Wow. This is one of the most enjoyable and educational videos I’ve ever seen.

[@TanyaShpachuk]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@retrojoeman]

Nice clean work . Welcome to KZbin ... I've never seen the solder on fret removal before , looks like good heat transfer ...

[@durstondarden8765]

Another great job completed!

[@bobcushman6194]

Wonderful work - fine craftsmanship! It’s clear that this kind of work can’t be rushed if you want the best results.

[@Metalshaper]

Very nice work!

[@sylvaind9086]

Wow again Tanya!👍

[@123henry123htc]

love to chill watching your vids, awesome work!!! keep it up

[@rallypoint1]

Awesome work!!! That bridge pick up was kinda high being worn like that.

[@Daddy53751]

I’ll say this, I just finished my first SS refret, (5 string Jazz) and WOW! What a pain. (I’m sure it’ll be worth the work though)

[@robarnold6998]

Again, great job! Have learned so much about the entire process for changing frets by watching a couple of your videos. Good luck and stay safe.

[@brianrust6139]

I like your marking the fret board with a pencil to identify raised areas on the fret board. Good one! I've installed ss frets on my strat but after doing a fret level may have to to do it one more time. Fretboard is maple but seems to be straight though.

[@donaldholman9070]

great video. Thank you so much. Beautiful work and dots nice!

[@larrynoe6162]

I am not nitpicking your work it is very good and thorough. How is the bridged ground?

[@zoltannemeth8864]

Great job, that’s for sharing this! I will watch more.

[@Clabian96]

Could you put a list up somewhere on your videos or your KZbin page where you list and link the tools you use? I'm curious what some of them are, and I do not wish to waste your time by asking constantly... You do beautiful and inspiring work! If I'm ever procrastinating a project, I can put one of your videos on and get the inspiration to get to work! Thanks for sharing your videos 👍

[@chaos1291975]

another great job Tanya

[@jasonfeazel3806]

Amazing skill and attention to detail.

[@TanyaShpachuk]

Many thanks ☺️

[@zachbot]

I enjoy watching for the craftsmanship/talent and cool guitar luthier work - but really I want to see what your nails look like and how many times they change in 1 video. Stay weird!

[@zachbot]

wait...is this a new string wind tech I am unaware of?
