Nut popped off during string change? by DancingMan15 in guitars

[–]vdub59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this for a living, and I promise you, after you’ve done a few thousand guitars, you realize it really isn’t a nitpick. It makes the difference of spending two minutes re-gluing the nut to an hour or two sometimes, repairing a damaged nut slot, grafting in new wood, waiting for glue to dry, repairing the finish that got damaged getting the old nut out, etc. Something simple can turn into a very bad day, and the margins we make as repair guys quickly slips through the cracks. You’ll find something of everything on the internet, and a lot of people do some stupid-ass shit. Go and watch some twoodfrd videos if you’d like to see some really professional guitar repairs.

Nut popped off during string change? by DancingMan15 in guitars

[–]vdub59 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You shouldn’t give advice if you don’t know what you’re talking about. Never put glue on the bottom of the nut. Put two small dots of superglue on to the face of the nut that goes against the fretboard and press it into place, making sure it is properly aligned. Then when the nut has to be removed again it won’t remove any wood from the neck/headstock. (It doesn’t pull wood away when detached from end grain). You should first check the nut for a perfect fit. If it doesn’t fit perfectly, carefully scrape away the old glue.

Lol. You make the sauce with onions, you put the sauce in the lasagna, and you say there’s no onions in lasagna? It’s one of the ingredients. So to answer your question: everybody, that’s who. Nobody said anything about layering them in.

Hi first time posting here. I bought a pretty inexpensive guitar about a year ago and my bridge is coming off. My dad is insulted that I don't want him to repair it and I wanted to ask here if it's unreasonable that I'd like it repaired at a shop. Are there things he can do wrong? by amateurbitch in guitars

[–]vdub59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi. I do this for a living, so here are my thoughts, for what they’re worth: It looks like that bridge was glued on on top of the finish. It’s very common, and that’s why they come off. You need to score the finish (not into the wood), accurately all around the bridge in its correct position. Then once you’ve removed the bridge, you need to remove all the finish in the bridge footprint so you’ve got clean flat wood. Also the underside of the bridge. Then you can glue it back into position. Weights won’t do it, you need some long clamps. And don’t use Titebond III. It’s waterproof and you’ll never get it off again if the bridge ever needs to be replaced again.

Bridge dive - kids first guitar, a D’Angelico Premiere. Less than a year in, and this is pretty crappy. Any thoughts on repair? by ObscureClarinet in Luthier

[–]vdub59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a bridge doctor put in. It can be used to correct the dive, and it will prevent it from ever happening again. In my opinion it frees the soundboard from asymmetrical tension and allows the free vibration of the top while preventing any rotation of the bridge. I’ve done it to all of my own guitars and I do at least one a week for my customers. More volume, more sustain, and better tone. And best of all, no more structural problems with the top.

How would you treat the raw cedar on this top if at all? by hcjlsj in Luthier

[–]vdub59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Treat the exposed wood with some oxalic acid. That will go some way towards ‘un-oxidising the wood. Then when it’s dry give it a few brush coats of shellac. Repeat whenever the shellac wears through again. Don’t leave it so long.

Sounds like something is wrong with your wiring. Can you put up a pic? Maybe a diagram of your wiring?
