MIMF

yeah i've givin it minimal thought as of yet, but i'm not sure if i'm gonna do it yet. i'm just curious if it could sound halfway descent. wouldn't expect it to sound great or anything but...don't know. i'll post if i do it.

ok saw on a forum somewhere where somebody had swapped the necks on an acoustic to make an acoustic bass.been thinking about it since. i have a guitar that the neck is so warped it would need to be replaced. just been hangin in the rafters in my brothers band room for a while. can find a neck pretty...

ok well maybe it was just in my head that it was easier to cut. haven't done a whole lot of fret work. i do love the evo.

aww crap don't tell me that...it WAS jascar brand. well i hope it lasts.

yeah i didn't realize that being unbleached would make that much of difference. it wasn't that meaty but meaty enough. was gonna buy a bleached one but they were filled with different fillings for treats and didn't want to clean it out. :lol: live and learn. in the past i just bought blanks but for ...

well first off, how important do you think a perfect fit is. i messed up and have to fix mine but seeing how off it is and not noticing any difference confuses me. it's off prob 1/32 on each side. granted the guitar is so far from setup and i barely played it. it still makes me wonder, couldn't find...

sorry everyone thought i had already responded to this thread. yeah your right it's a lot easier to work than the nickel. filing cutting, just softer. almost don't want to believe it can last longer. ;) i ended up doing combo press and hammer, "tap" and ca glue. wanted to get better glue b...

hey thanks Mark i'm learning. slow process, but i wish i would have started sooner. some of it's easier than i though.

ok sorry it's been a while been busy with a 2nd job i started the other day. well refret is done, did a level and re crown/polish, and made a new nut. gotta get some strings and finish with setup but turned out pretty dang good. thanks again all for your help and tips. and sorry again Mark Swanson, ...

oh. sorry bout that, was drinking last night, must have gotten confused. thanks for the tip.

hello again, one more question before i start my refret. I've ordered evo fret wire ,as the subject states. and read a few things here and there, and am just curious how much of a pain it's going to be to install. it's coming with a 10" radius, and my neck is 16". i have heard a few times ...

ok well didn't wait. just tried steaming it tonight and it worked like a charm. i even got an old ding out that had been there i think before i got the guitar. sanded it down a little more and i think anyone would be lucky to see any evidence of them. THANKS ALOT!!!!

right on, thanks for that Nick. i'll try that tomorrow, first thing. yeah i hadn't heard of using the steam before i started sanding. and yeah only 600. 1 i didn't plan on doing any reshaping as the neck is still great. and 2 as i said earlier i don't want to touch the mop. still new to this, plus t...

you know someone on another forum told me to try steaming them nick. thanks you gave it more authority. unfortunately i have already hit it with some 600. was thinking about trying that though. i assume after sanding theres not as much of the compressed wood left? it does look much better already bu...

thanks for the tip about it being brittle. had no issues while pulling frets. though i noticed ( after the 12th :oops: ) i was leaving little indentations with my nippers. didn't on my last ( and only )refret. well live and learn. not sure what i'm gonna do yet. i'd hate to leave em, but there not r...

well pulled 2nd fret. the inlay is all the way up to the slot. thick inlay too, runs the depth of it. one of the pieces moved a little to so have to reset. after looking at the slot and pondering my options i see pretty clearly that i'm gonna have to press them. even if it doesn't hurt the mop, ther...

thanks for the quick response. had a closer look and i still think it is cut right up to the slot. i guess the only way to be sure is to pull one. i'll go ahead and do that.

hello everyone. well getting ready to do a much needed refret on an acoustic. but a little concerned about the inlay that goes under the frets. been searching through forums for a few days now without any luck. saw one this morning that said something about using epoxy on said frets in this kind of ...
