This video was not that easy for me, I think I made more than a dozen final versions, several times, KZbin turned off monetization, but still, I can finally share my strange idea with you.
If a metal nut is placed on guitars to make the sound of open and pressed strings uniform, how about doing the opposite and putting bone frets?
In addition, even in the 19th century, bone frets were widely used on stringed instruments, until at the beginning of the 20th they were replaced by the usual metal frets.
Also, I was interested in how to work with them, how long they will serve, how they feel in my hands. So I gathered my strength and did what I did with the old guitar
I'm sharing the result of my work with you.
Would you put it on your guitar?
Special thanks for the provided pickup

When I was on someone’s live stream being interviewed a few years back, they asked me what I would like to try on a guitar (I play mainly acoustic). My response was, “all bone frets”...which I had NEVER seen, or heard of before in my life. I figured it could be done, but could find no one will to build it for me. This is an electric guitar, so a little different, but still very cool. Peace. 🐰💙🇺🇸🎸🎶🤝✌️

Until the late 19th century, most treble strings were made of gut, and bass strings were made of silk overspun with wire, often silver plated. This is similar to today's classical guitar strings. Right? Bone frets would have been reasonable before the advent of ubiquitous metal strings. I'd love to see a report on the longevity of bone frets and steel strings, especially on acoustic guitars. Great work. It makes me consider putting bone frets on my next classical. Thanks!

@@mr.k1t I like the idea very much. It would be awesome to have audio comparison of the guitar with the different frets. I can definitely see it as a guitar to have in your arsenal just for the sound and/or feel. Probably not as your everyday workhorse guitar because the frets will wear out faster, if you believe in laws of physics. 20 minutes of play time a day these will probably last years and years. Thinking about it, on an acoustic guitar with nylon (or gut) strings these frets might be what you want... Also, what an interesting guitar (and pickups).

Could you show all of us how you approach a guitar regulation process using: 1. A straight edge (Tuss rod adjustment) 2. String action guage (string height adjustment) 3. Bridge saddles&height adjustment For example I know so much people with tune-o-matic bridges that still get string buzz despite adjusting all 3 mentioned points.

@@dandogamez Tell that to everyone who has ever commented that stainless frets make all the difference in the world and conversely those who comment that stainless frets ruin the sound/only nickel steel will suffice. My main concern is that bone will not hold up to steel strings and bending so well. Probably need to refret often. And the materials do matter in terms of longevity and durability. For example, birds eye and flamed maple necks usually feel great since they're premium materials and a lot more effort goes into the workmanship of the guitars which have them, but those woods, unless roasted are far more susceptible to warping and need to be replaced more often than two piece necks, which are more laterally stabilized.

@@dandogamez I build guitars so your argument is nothing new to me. These sort of videos are not controlled scientific analysis so it doesn't really mean much. I can clearly hear the difference with stainless steel frets, they have a slight pingy sound on the attack. Plus at the density of the wood makes a difference so you would not get the same sort of sound from balsa wood as you would from maple. Nearly any material of similar density would give similar results. There's definitely more to the sound than just pickups and scale length. I have an acrylic strat that sustains for days, and sustain definitely changes the tonality of any guitar. The pickups are only part of that equation.

You do realize that, prior to the 19th century, most frets were tied strips of gut. Players of historical European instruments like lutes, early guitars and mandolins, and violas da gamba still use gut frets and strings. The frets wear out quickly and must be replaced. Is this ridiculous? Or are you accustomed to modern conceniences? Nothing sounds as good as an acoustic instrument with gut on gut...

The guitar maker Martin used to fret their guitars with what are now called "bar frets" in a similar fashion. They were made of small metal bar stock, I played a 1928 Martin with bar frets and while they felt different, I adapted quickly and didn't notice after a while. I imagine bone frets would last quite a long time as well, interesting idea. Well done, although all of the exposed saw blades in the shop were a bit concerning, too much opportunity for finger damage.

In my opinion the ebony sounds better to me on my acoustic. Only trouble is it can shrink and expand(wood) and damage your bridge if your instrument is subjected to varying humidity changes. I might try this on a acoustic that needs a fret replacement . Keep chasing sound!

Interesting. I wonder how much death is required for such a project? The source material could present problems. Obviously, you'd want large flattish bones for the body of the guitar, so my thought is to kill some elephants for their hips. Other than that, it's the neck of the instrument, which is quite long. It's the elephants again! Their shinbones are long enough to make it work. Now we're getting somewhere. You CAN make a guitar out of bone. There you go! Kill some elephants, and you can enjoy your bone guitar conscience free. Eff me, you've mate stumbled across a natural solution to harvesting wood to save the rainforest.

Dinosaur bones are the obvious solution. You've got the big bones, minus the ecological harm or angry relatives. Also; even paleontologists would admit that a Dino bone guitar would be badass 🦖🦕

Interesting experiment that I would never do. Metal frets are there for as reason, and that reason is we have the capability to work a better material for the job. If the world goes to hell tomorrow (or maybe the next day) we at least have a fallback. You'll be rich in the coming years.

Congratulations on spending hundreds of hours to make a guitar where your strings will wear down your frets in a matter of months. I am seriously impressed with your dedication to pulling off this terrible idea. You have done this horrible thing in an extremely professional way, and that deserves some credit.

I glued on bone frets and tuned the notes to Kirnberger III. The frets start off wider and the tuning is done with a carving chisel . Basically it`s wiggly frets but the wider straight appearance makes it look easy . Sounds nice . Use Evostik on a flat surface . They can be moved or removed using a thin spatula heated by a soldering iron .
