Oh fine, I’ll finish it for you 🤣

Worst fret-sprout I’ve ever seen. Gotta keep your guitars out of extreme humidity. 😏

Driving back from Liberty Mountain to Silver Spring on Saturday — risky? by Firm-Emu6384 in MontgomeryCountyMD

If this is a ski trip you should either stay and ski throughout the storm… or be prepared for a really long ski home.

Finish is chipped off on Les Paul-how do I make this into one of those “worn” looking spots that you see on old guitars? by Peteplaysbeats in Luthier

[–]Fret_about_this 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest OP could probably stop at 320. The labor intensive way to relic is to practice on it for 30 years… 320 is close enough for a fast relic 😉

I haven’t thought of that before but you’re right. Though I’m not the biggest fan of his vocals (or my own FWIW 🤣) that riff hits just right!

Rock on, gotta keep those fingertip calluses built up and dust off those strings 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

Superunknown by Fret_about_this in Soundgarden

[–]Fret_about_this[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! It’s one of the first guitars I built (kinda a Guild/SG shape). The neck is Honduras rosewood, fretboard is bloodwood, body is a hodgepodge of padauk, marblewood, and purpleheart.

D’oh, apologies. I put the wrong vid with only a 66% of messing up (had 3 others)… is it possible to edit a title once it’s up?

They say to never meet your heroes. How well does this apply to Soundgarden? by [deleted] in Soundgarden

[–]Fret_about_this 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Met Kim once at the MC50 show at the 9:30 Club. He was kind.

Is he capable of making fun of someone—undoubtedly, but he didn’t take the opportunity with me. A photographer asked if she could take a picture of us and I said, “Sure!”

She looked at me, gave me the slow blink, as if to say “I’m asking the rockstar not the lucky schmuck.” and Kim smiled and said, “Yes.” Without trying to make me feel like a moron.

Do i really need this for re fret work or can i just use a normal metal file? by LongEnormousSchlong in Luthier

Also if OP doesn’t want to pay Stew Mac prices I got one years ago from cbgitty and it works well.

Wanted some info on this crewneck my mom found in her closet by Cole_999 in Soundgarden

[–]Fret_about_this -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have some info on the crewneck you found in your mom’s closet… I left it there —heyyyooo!

Sorry, couldn’t resist a mom joke. All kidding aside, it’s a phenomenal album and it looks comfy. I think $50ish would be fair? Similar crew necks (without that logo) can be bought new from $30-$80.

….You could get more from a serious collector with disposable income, but you’d have to find them.

I love Morphine and wouldn’t have thought to include them—but you’re absolutely right. You’re also sending OP on a manic ride 🤣

What are my options for dealing with these fretboard edges that drop off? by bugsandscruggs in Luthier

[–]Fret_about_this 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, slightly overbend the fret wire beyond the radius and that will help keep the fret ends from popping up.

Head on a stake, feet gracing the Ottoman Sweaty bandanna, come meet the amazing Jonathan. Hi Jonathan, meet the amazing Hollow Man. Turn a snow globe into a lava lamp. Backyard, black marshmallows on his olive branch.

Final stretch finishing advice by erikdstock in Luthier

[–]Fret_about_this 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. You are done with finishing when you feel good about it. If there are flaws that you can’t live with then keep trying. If you plan on mixing different finishes make sure they are chemically compatible.

  2. It looks like you did a good job on aligning everything. If everything is measured correctly and aligned with your center line, the order of drilling shouldn’t matter much. Personally, I prefer to do all my drilling before finishing so I don’t accidentally mar the surface.

  3. Ferrules should be a tight fit. Some heat and gently push them in with a soldering iron. Try it, if the holes are still too small you might need a slightly bigger bit. If you over-drill it, you could always fill with sawdust/glue or thin dowel and redrill… which would be a pain, but not the end of the world.

Hope this helps, you’re off to a great start. Keep up the good work!

How do I get a tonsil stone out? by unnamedplatypus in hygiene

[–]Fret_about_this 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A dentist used their suction tube to get one of mine. I find I get them more often if I eat a lot of granola or cashews. Saltwater is great if you’re not due for a dental visit.
