In this video I show process of replacing truss rod and fretboard on Japan Fender JB. In this case this has to be done because of completely weared rod and neck constantly losing tension. I decide to put modern dual truss rod, despite it`s not original design in most cases it will work more stable, and it can be replaced in future without total disassembly of neck 🙂
I also needed to replace the fretboard - the original one was so thin that it did not withstand dismantling 🙃

Also we launch YT sponsorship, and already have educational content about fretworks.
Detailed description of video, tools and agents used will be a bit later on my Patreon.

    So scammers gonna scam again. I remind to you all - I have no telegram, or other messengers. I don`t do any giveaways or similar stuff. If you saw comments from "persons" who pretended to be me - report and block. Don`t let yourself be scammed.
  • No music (apart from the occasional post repair strumming by others in your shop), no commentary, just an amazing demonstration of your skill. Love it!

    I like watching luthiers working in silence. No music. Just the sound of tools on wood. It's very calming. Thank you so much

    Although buying a replacement neck is probably a lot cheaper than what you're doing, it's great to see a master at work.
  • @kjata9139
    This probably came out better than it did originally from the factory. Fantastic work - it was a pleasure to watch you restore this.

    I've watched hundreds of luthier videos but this is the first time I've ever seen a truss rod replaced. It's like watching a guitar have open heart surgery. Beautiful work and well done on bringing the patient back to life!
  • @kpmadden
    Beautiful work, Tanya. I have always wondered how truss rods could be repaired. Now I know how much care it takes. Thank you!!
  • @johnskerlec9663
    I love your patience as you work. This is one beast of a job to do. Well done.
  • @dancortes2164
    Tanya, I love your videos so much. I've always wanted to repair musical instruments by myself, but never tried it. Since I discovered your channel I started to get some basic tools and I'm gonna learn to repair instruments by myself. So I wanted to say thank you very much! You're one of my biggest inspirations to learn to do something I've always wanted to!
  • @MauiProMedia
    Wow! You’re as professional as they come 😊 I didn’t realize how much work time and skill is involved in this… Awesome job Tanya 😎

    I don't play guitar, I'm a drummer. However, there's a lot of joy in watching a craftsperson do amazing work on any instrument. I dig the audio too, no BS, just the sound of progress.
  • most people will never know the amount of work involved in repairing guitars. Well done Tanya, keep it up girl
  • @dennishook6529
    Wow Tanya, I am a guitar tech for over 30 years but I would never attempt to do such a difficult job as this. You did a masterful job. I am blown away by your skills, and I am learning so much from watching you work. Thank you for being there ♥️
  • @vacustoms
    Thank you for posting this video. I've never seen a truss rod replacement before... your craftsmanship is second to none. Absolutely beautiful work on this job.

    This really makes me miss my old CIJ Jazz bass. It had neck issues but I wasn't equipped for this kind of repair at the time. Good to see it can be done.
  • @Jak_Low
    Great video showing the details that go into an insane repair like this. Someone must really love the feel of that neck to have paid for a repair like this instead of just getting a replacement or custom neck made.
  • @davane7882
    Absolutely beautiful work. Such respect being given to that instrument. I had no idea the amount of work and craftswomanship that went into the fretboard.
  • @rocanrolafx2179
    Siempre quise ver como una profesional reparaba éste tipo de problema y he de decir que no es un trabajo sencillo.Enhorabuena eres una maravilla!❤
  • @funkybassguy68
    That was therapeutic to watch. Beautiful craftsmanship and attention to detail. I’m sure it plays better than the factory setup. Well worth it to save a MIJ jazz bass. 👍
  • i’ve been doing some basic lutherie work for a year or so now as the first woman to work in the shop, it’s nice to see your epic skill! inspiring. i hope to be advanced like you in the future
