Restoration of old Gibson
Ойын-сауық
I`ll never get that design decision, it just so off of the overal design of the guitar. Beside that this one is really brittle and completly worned out. I dunno, maybe it`s just me, but a standard classic looking nut just way more pretty and neat :)
Also I was honored to be the first person who put a new frets here. I rarely see this level of wear on frets that made guitar nearly fretless. When I talked with customer we plan at first save "nibs" on binding that are typical for custom model, but when guitar arrived it came out that there was nothing to save :\
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.

That’s so cool how you’re so honest with your mistakes. You could have easily edited that first nut attempt out but you didn’t. Much respect for showing you’re only human. :)

Melted the bindings taking out the frets also!
Thank you, you have my utmost respect !! I have a black, ‘72 LP Custom that I bought used in 1972, it was too heavy for the original owner. In the 50 years he’s been with me, it was played extensively, stolen twice and returned and the headstock has been broken off more than 11 times, the bridge, tuners, pickups have all been replaced multiple times . The guitar was never purposely abused, just played hard and much loved. When our bass player hit the headstock with his Pbass headstock, I took it to the Luthier that had lovingly repaired it for over 30 years, we both agreed it was time for retirement. 6 months later I got a call, the LP was repaired. When I walked in the store, my band was there, a bunch of friends.. Gary the Luthier, opened the case and my tired old friend had received a restoration of the same level that you gave this white one. It was pretty damn emotional ! Mine is much more battle scared cosmetically, but the repair on the neck, frets, everything were done perfectly. It did and still does plays beautifully, but not only does it deserve to rest, he’s too heavy for me now ! Again, thank you ! I have to go visit my old friend right now ..

I haven't seen frets worn down so badly. It's been played. I'm sure the owner will appreciate the work you put into restoring it. I certainly would.

Actually, that wasn't bad at all. Those "WERE" micro-frets, and as such I've seen much worse. The micro's on my '70 custom were worse than that one, and it still played great ! I'm shure she's a fine tech, but technically this is not a restoration. This was a gibson custon "fretless wonder, now it's a gibson custom with jumbo's...................What a shame.

Gibson called them ‘fretless wonder’. It’s part of the character of these customs really.
Love your videos! It's cool to see all the detailed work that goes into this stuff and it is SO relaxing to watch!! I think that is because it's so detailed and you absolutely cannot rush through it.....definitely a mindfulness, stay in the moment thing!! ❤️🙏

The quality of your work and attention to detail are amazing. I'm an amateur guitar tech doing work on my own guitars and I appreciate your videos - I've learned a lot from them. Thank-you!
You're a true craftsman. I watch you work with what looks like ease and makes me ashamed of the 20 nuts I've ruined
A work of art while maintaining the integrity of your nails. Well done!
Hand making a nut is as much of an art as it is a science, and you are an artist my friend. Fantastic work.

Glad to see that I put my strings the same way you do. My friend who is a luthier showed me that way and I haven’t seen anyone else do it the same way until now.
Really great job. Unpretentious in your work but really clever in your use of the tools we have available to us. I learned something. Thanks.
Just recently stumbled on your channel.i just love watching your hands do their magic. Slow, deliberate, precise work. So soothing to watch. Lovely work..
Great work! I seem to have endless appetite for watching an excellent luthier at work. Making the nut is pure artistry. A fully three-dimensional creation. The owner of this guitar is going to be very happy.
I always wondered how a bound neck was refretted. What a wonderful video!

Update, she said it was the first time it was refretted... but that the nibs were virtually gone! (Should have read the description before chiming in.)
Thank you for posting. A pleasure to watch such a skilful and methodical thing being done by an absolute expert. Very beautiful guitar and superb job on the fretboard
The precision in your work is truly remarkable! I could only dream of having your skill!
Thanks for such a nice content for us all the guitar lovers out there!! ❤

I really enjoy the format of your videos. No bs, just hard work!
The care and love and respect you show each one of the instruments you work on is truly inspiring. You clearly love your craft as much as the instruments you work on, and if I ever take my guitars to a luthier, I would love to think they would look after them as well as you do. Don't stop what you're doing, even in the face of adversity that your country is facing at the moment. You are doing great things right here, and it's a pleasure to watch you at work 😊
I am intrigued by all of this, but I also get zoned out in an ASMR type of way. Great work
Great! The "pencil tip" in the radius work of fretboard is new for me. Bold. Very bold
Beautiful work Tanya! I've been doing the same work since 2005. You have some wonderful techniques! I agree, that nut was very strange, your replacement is much better. It is very unusual not to see nibs on the binding! Thanks for sharing.

That's cus it's been refretted.. I highly doubt gibson in any era would have cut the nibs off randomly and did a janky job of it to boot. I know there's some that don't come with fret nibs but as far as I know theyre cheaper models.. I would lean towards it having been refretted at some point in its life as you can see where the nibs were, it seems like an odd thing for gibson to do when they pound out these guitars in mass numbers, they'd just throw that in the trash or pull the binding off and redo it. The fact the nut looked like it did kinda makes me think its very possible the guy did too much booze or drugs to remember if it'd been refretted
LOL at the Hendrix Joke. That Sucks but we all do it! To save on some time and wear on my sander, I take the bulk off my Bone Nuts with an angle grinder (Clamp nut in a vise) or a bandsaw. Beautiful work as always!
Great work, so pleasing to watch. Love your videos. 🙌
Your love is evident your passion is clear nice nice work
Old Les Paul Custom, - the "fretless wonder"... Thank you for sharing your fantastic work!
Just now got time to watch , was so interesting I watched it twice at Dinner. Just a wonderful refret job👍...
Wow! That baby is from 1974! Looks like the owner takes great care of it. What a beautiful guitar. Great job on the frets!
Dressing down those frets is so cleverly done! That's technique!
These videos are awesome. As a hobbyist luthier I love seeing the way others do things, not to mention the process is incredibly satisfying to watch and listen to. I love the use of hot solder to more quickly heat frets and loosen the glue, I'd never have thought of that! I'll definitely try it out in the future.
very therapeutic. great work Tanya
Excellent work and a pleasure to watch you do it. PS: That final check 🤣
Захоплююся Вашою роботою, не пропускаю жодного відео. Ви молодкць!
NOT EVERY PERSON CAN OR BE TRUSTED TO WORK ON AN OLDER LES PAUL ,THESE INSTRUMENTS ARE WORTH 20 . 40, OR THOUSANDS MORE .I HAD A 1969 GOLD TOP ,I WISH I HAD KEPT IT ALONG WITH 2 OTHER OLDER GIBSONS BUT ALCOHOL AND DRUGS WERE MORE IMPORTANT IN THOSE DAYS , I MADE SOME BAD DECISIONS BACK THEN HOWEVER I LERNED FROM THOSE DECISIONS ALSO . TANYA YOU MADE THE NECK OF THAT GIBSON LOOK BRAND NEW , TANYA , I HOPE YOU KEEP PUTTING OUT THE VIDEOS OF YOU WORKING ON THESE GUITARS ,I LOVE TO WATCH THE TRANSFORMATION. THANKS AGAIN TANYA AND GOD BLESS.
My 1983 Les Paul frets look like that. I wish I could get it refretted by an expert like you. Peace.
Excellent work. You're not the first person to make the nut backwards. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day.
First refret in nearly 40 years. No wonder the frets and fretnibs were so worn down.

They weren’t really worn down that badly. These customs were ‘fretless wonders’. The frets are extremely low profile.
Wonderfull job. It's a pleasure to see you working.
I like how you lay the frets out over the binding. It makes the fretboard seem wider than it really is.😊
That guitar can sing again, thanks to you. Great job!
I'm so glad I found her videos! They knock me out!
That neck is beautiful. Great job. I would love to have these skills.

I’m elated to see a Ukrainian woman is interested in being a luthier and working on American guitars. I’ve been a guitar player since I was 7 years old, “Kurt Cobain and me are the same age”, and I have very hard headed standards about how I need my instruments set up and or customized. She can do it all. Next I wanna see her learn painting night quality Nitro finishes and knocking off Tom Murphy aging for side of this beautiful planet.
Ebony is such a pain. Love this video- it’s Zen-like!
Wow, what a beautiful guitar.always loved white customs , you did an amazing job.
