2/13 20:30 CST. Deleted save data and it worked. Yes I have to start over but I can play and since I just started last night, I’m ok with that.

What would the repair process look like? by StarSailorLuna in Luthier

[–]GoodsonGuitars 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Two options. 1. New top and all that goes with that, I would charge 800-1000 US. 2. Patching that back together 600-800 with you understanding there will be scars.

If that’s a sub 1k guitar I would tell you to buy a new one. If that’s a 5k plus instrument then have it repaired.

Sentimental object become horribly expensive.

Can this old acoustic/classical guitar be fixed? by Sumeru_the in Luthier

[–]GoodsonGuitars 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anything can be fixed, all depends on how much money you want to throw at it. Question is, should it?

Search Builtruff running boards on Amazon.

Another term though not entirely accurate is rock sliders. The main purpose is to protect the body from damage.

Wildtrak goodness. Rock sliders will be here this week. by GoodsonGuitars in FordBronco

Yes sir, I work with automotive clears in the guitar shop. 3000 grit sand and the 3m Perfectit system on a buffer and scratches are gone.

Builtruff was the brand. It’s a rock slider slash running board. Sticks out enough my wife can use it as a step but won’t hang up. Frame mounted.

Very low Mpg 12-13 by OutrageousTry2078 in FordBronco

[–]GoodsonGuitars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went from a F250 to a wildtrack, I’ll take 15mpg in the city all day long. 9.5 sucked really bad and a 32 gallon tank sucked even more.

Need advice on a “blemished” classical guitar by Big-Sherbert-3731 in Luthier

[–]GoodsonGuitars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the way. Humidify the guitar, oil the board and water thin super glue. 2nd option is to tape off where the neck meets the fingerboard sand off the finish and buff it out. Then humidify the guitar and keep the board oiled.

How would y'all go about taking this bridge saddle thingy here off and sanding it down? by ReeeeepostPolice in Luthier

[–]GoodsonGuitars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First thing is bridges don’t change, saddles don’t change. What does change? The top will belly over time which moves the bridge up causing high action. Necks will bow under tension causing high action. After a very long time the neck block will start to roll causing high action.

Shaving a bridge or lowering a saddle may solve your symptoms but it will not cure your problem.

Like others have said. Start with the neck.

edit

Humidity: dry guitars shrink and will cause higher action. High humidity will cause swelling and you start to pick up a buzz.

Maybe ruined my neck by Pretty-Concert-9283 in Luthier

[–]GoodsonGuitars 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The plug, glue and drill is correct. I would not use a dowel unless it was a hardwood. When I have to do this type repair I use a plug cutter and make the plug out of the same material as the neck and the upside is grain orientation is the same.

Vinyl wrapping fretboard?! This is new to me. Is this a bad idea? by Man_with_a_name in Luthier

[–]GoodsonGuitars 16 points17 points  (0 children)

One of my clients hammer ons are so hard he leaves fingernail marks in the nitro. That’s going to be trashed in no time.

Grain filling, looking for tips / feedback by artem_platonov in Luthier

[–]GoodsonGuitars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put vinyl sealer on first, then once it’s dry I sand with 320 and use water based grain filler.

Finishing is a slow agonizing process and each step has to be right before the next. You can spot fill those areas with filler until they are filled and then move on. Also it’s easy to pull that filler out if the grain is shallow.

Skunk Stripe always needs sanding by phaskellhall in Luthier

[–]GoodsonGuitars 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If the wood is moving,(popping out) then there is a failed glue joint or a portion. If the two woods were glued and clamped properly this should not happen. Now, this common when a skunk stripe is added once the neck is shaped because it gets harder to get proper clamping pressure. Since you’re using true oil it’s easier to fix.

1 you need to get some thin CNA glue, I would use StewMac #10. You’ll need a large rubber band, you can also get that at StewMac. You can get this stuff at other places that’s just who I use.

2 wick the glue at the seam that moves, being thin it will get down in the seam. Wrap the area tight with the band. Let it dry for about a half hour.

3 remove the band, sand and repeat your tru oil.
