hey jason. don't you think that it is extremely unethical for a guy to give a price of $350. them call you when the guitar is in pieces and say "o, it's gonna be double? thats what happened to us, and thats why we wana come to you. God bless.
@lonestar7703 It might be. Depending on the nature of the work, it's sometimes unadvisable to even give an estimate until you have the guitar in front of you. When the work leans heavily towards restoration or repair, the price could change dramatically based on what was discovered. However if it's something routine like pickup changes, string nuts or maybe even refrets I have a hard time imagining the price doubling unless the guitar was found to have a broken truss rod or something...
@smbstressfest Actually it was a refret job, and the guy is a guitar builder. His cheapest guitar is about $1800. He said that the extra charges were due to the amount of time it took him to clean the slots. I thought that cleaning the slots would have been part of doing a refret. We (my teacher and I) feel like we are being taken advantage of.

Man I've been waiting for this almost a year now!...if your'e not going to do this you might as well take this video down so we aren't left guessing anymore
@superskwrl Yeah, sorry 'bout that. You want a refund or something LOL. I'll be back on that series eventually, honest. Life intervened last year and any spare time I had to do things like videos disappeared in a big hurry.
@smbstressfest lol sorry if I sounded ungrateful (I must have forgotten for a second that these videos are just for fun)...anyways I love watching your videos when I'm bored and I totally understand the time thing, and if you don't have time to post another video in the future, thats ok with me, you already have a lot of cool stuff
Never knew that there was so much equipment invovled in fixing a guitar. Wish i could take a course to be able to do all this. I haven't seen much of your work on acoustic guitars
What do you think about a 10"-14" compound radius neck versus starting with the 12" radius neck that you personally prefer? Is a 10" radius starting at the nut flat enough to allow for comfortable chording and bending between the 3rd to 5th fret?
Aren't Fender fretboards typically a single radius the entire length of the neck?
As a repair tech, I'd rather deal with a simple or cylindrical radius. As a player, a compound or conical radius is fine but I don't require nor do I prefer it.
As to whether a 10" is comfortable to chord on and bend around the 3-5 area, that's entirely up to you.
I like the curvey stripe going down the fretboard !
Your vids are great.I learn alot from you.

I always hate getting to the end of the newly posted videos. I always think, "Well, looks like I have to wait a week or so until I can watch more."

would my Mexican standard strat likely have the pau ferro fingerboard? It's a 2006.

Probably is. Take a picture (a close up shot is best) and post it on FB, I'll take my best educated guess.
