  • @erikallison i think its a gibson explorer

  • yo i have that same haircut xD

  • the brand of that guitar is a Dan'l Guitar, which is made by the guy in the video,Dan Terry. He creates and manufactures these guitars. Say what u want, but he is far from an idiot.

  • nice nails eeeeewwwwwwww

  • uhh if its coming up wouldnt you want to reseat and then thin glue it? THEN level if needed afterwards? why would you level a fret that is unseating itself and possibly going to do it more and again? Just my 2 cents.

  • hey guys!!! do you know the brand of this guitar in the video???

  • @GrowlingManiac i happen to love super slinky's and regular slinky's

  • What if the frets are TOO LOW? How do you bring the frets UP?

  • @GrowlingManiac Ghs Boomers for me

  • if the frets arent level then when you play the note that has the buzz its rubbing against a raised fret so you have to level it by using a fret file and the way to check if they are level is to use a small flat surfaced object to check for rocking and if it isnt rocking then its level and the fret buzz will not be there but you have to polish the frets otherwise bits of metal can break your strings so its best to take your strings off before hand.
