Looks awful................. the dyes don't work.

Thanks for sharing the whole process! Who is the musician in the background??? Quite a hip rendition of Johnny.

I f you add red it will turn more purple you have to sand back the black to actuate the flame. Then a nice high gloss will bring out everything

Is the Fuel Tank a battery that you charge up? So can run your pedals from it without mains supply? Is the blue thing the actual battery? Thnks for the video!

Damn son.. Put a thick.. smooth layer.. hit it with heat.. Give yourself something to actually sand on.. with a flat block. 😅 Not sure if you thinned it... But don't. Zpoxy finishing isn't the right product. Regular zpoxy would have gone better.

Last week in in the Wood i v seen an Offical woodworker my oh my he was busy he does that with all trees indian Laurel trees when he was Ready and back to his car a gold Metallic peterbuildt Truck and again he does the darkening - the Truck looks like choclate to the bone very funny but very crazy meanwhile Richards starts to yoodel ya can``t always get what ya want playing a Stradievarie Banjo with aged plastik parts and a bunch of Lakotas which are the Owners of the Wood start to sing the Wind song. And than the kluklux clan arrived Now they are all hanging on Poplar Trees and their mead is darkening in the Sun😋and smelling like a Case from epihhone napalm in the morning

Great video. Wear a respirator when working with epoxy, it's a known cause of lung cancer!

I like it

Wow! For a first time, you did an amazing job! I’m very impressed. Kudos! 🎉

To fix the ticking tremolo, see the tremolo circuit of Twln Reverb. There is a 220pf/1kV cap added between the pin 1 and 3 of the trem valve.

So your comparing colors on a piece of wood that's much lighter than the fingerboard your putting it on?...that doesn't make sense

I'd bet knowing that most like darker fretboard,they use something to darkin laurel wood B4 they sell most guitars

Sand it down start over use danish oil as your finished 3-4 layers thin thin thick thick, done. Great videos.

Honestly, locking tuners are just a gimmick.. because if you tune up the wormgear will lock it in place . Especially if you run a higher gear ratio.. the old standard is 14:1 but I like about 18:1 .. 21:1 I think is just too much cranking to get to pitch.. But when a guitar won't stay in tune its hardly ever get the tiners at fault unless the tuner is stripped ..

Just take a brush and paint it black next time.

I'm trying to do same on the laurel fingerboard for my Gretsch. What is the product specifically? I can only find Fiddes Naphta Oils and the tints that seem like they'd be most like what you're using are either Dark Oak or New Brown Mahogany, although the latter looks like it could he quite red. Really not sure which one to go with as it's my first time with this sort of thing.

Heres my magic for darkeni g,and keeping it conditioned.First clean board.(acetone).clean board dry off.Next apply POLYMERIZED LINSEED AND BEESWAX.LET SIT AN HOUR WIPE OFF.WAIT A DAY I TAKE ULTRA FINE PAPER TO THE BOARD.THEN APPLY SECOND COAT.WAIT AN HOUR REMOVE .WAIT A DAY LAST TIME REPEAT.THEN WAIT A DAYBEFORE STRINGING.I GARUNTEE YOU WILL LIKE THE RESULT.DYES?INKS?NOPE.

Clapton uses a Champ in the studio... I never use more than a Fender Deluxe. You can get whatever you need from a smaller amp indoors, y' just don't need a Vox Super Beatle!

Why does it make it sound or better to play I don't get it

I had to have all my connections re-soldered on my JTM 30

I personally think the factory sounds are very good, and that most of the free patches you can get on the Web, 95% of them are just edited presets anyway. A couple of people have been able to get some better sounds out of it, but they've had 40 years to do it, lol,!

Sounds to me like head engineer guy at Fender designed this replacement circuit that he's super proud of and it's going in every damn European model that heads out the door whether it works or not because anything and everything is more acceptable than admitting failure to a proud engineer. Or any proud person regardless of their trade. We've all met them and worked with and for them. They can never be wrong, even if it means eminent disaster.

I just got one of these today from eBay. I saw that same Rick Beato video!

Looks killer- great video!

I swapped out the junk preamp tubes mine came with NOS 4 RCA 7025 and a couple NOS GE JAN 12ax7’s and it is nearly silent. Bridge the channels by plugging your guitar into the 1 input of the vintage channel and use a patch cable from 1 of the custom channel into 2 of the vintage channel and it sounds better than you can ever imagine it would. The EQ will be weird unless you use an a/b/y pedal with a phase correction…find a video if you don’t know…anyway one side the bass will be more responsive to adjustment use that side for bass and turn other side all the way down. The treble will generally be responsive on the opposite channel and you turn the other side down. You will get beautiful break up at 2 or 3 volume. Both channels come through so blend each volume knob in to your liking.

I suspect that the room is too cold for the epoxy application.

This is not a tutorial, but a demonstration how to ruin a good guitar.

Probably a good project would be fabricate a chassis and hand wire the circuit useing all the existing parts that you can like transformers etc these pcb are cheep and the traces are terrible but i know its a pain when you just want to play the thing cheers

Looks really good. I may try that with my epi J45 slash

This is why I built my own.

I've been looking out my window at the palm trees (don't get too excited, I live in Jacksonville Florida haha, nowhere exotic) but I wonder what one would sound like as a Tele body

Ive had this amp for over 20 years, it did blow a tranny about 10 years ago. But this amp sounds AMAZING! BEST MARSHALL CLEAN EVER. and the overdrive channel sounds incredible, diode clipping or not, the lead tone cranked up with a charvel is so good!

Permanent Black Magic marker. I used on a Harley Benton, It’s been around a year now and still looks good.

The fretboard on my Epi Firebird is laurel as well, and it's not too bad - but I agree, a nicely darkened board simply looks better... 😀👍 I've done this before with leather dye, since that really permeates the wood. Done it in 2 stages, first one quite thickly applied, then wiped down. The second layer somewhat thinned down, and that evened it out really well.... Every time I took all excess off, and let it dry. After the last I buffed it all out with a piece of cloth, because you definitely don't want to end up with dyed fingertips 🤣 That rosewood danish oil looked absolutely stunning, I'd say...

Hello, What is the name of the wax please ?

You'd have been far better off filling the fret slots with the ebony dust THEN adding the super glue. This way you can almost guarantee that the slots are filled to their full depth.

Where did you get the capacitor?

Send it back

Are the outputs isolated?

I have a guitar coming into my shop that I need to ebonize the rosewood. I like your results, I will definitely try this procedure. Thanks!!!

WHOOPS

Well done, you solved the problem. Did you put that capacitor in to stop the "Pop" when you you turn standby off yet, I would like to see how it works? BTW , do they still use ATs (ecc81) for the reverb and phase inverter or is it all 12ax7(ecc83) which will make it noisier?

Sanding blocks!! Fingers leave low spots. Rub the dye dry. Transtint dyes work better for wood. Sponge roller to apply the epoxy and use fast passes with a torch to pop bubbles. Try putting the black on then sand back to make the flame really pop then use the purple thinned.

That purple truly is gorgeous 👍

Hi! Any more videos coming?

15:12 "Two parts alcohol to one part water..." I hope not 😀 Cool video!

Aahhh! Perhaps just a tad more research, Your on to a great start my friend. A joy to watch,,better you ,,than me,lol But have you ever given any of a notion to a very slow cure temp time and mix it just Ever so slightly loose only for maneuverability and I seriously do believe you could have a much more positive result with your next build. Why not try remember keeping it a little bit moist on your next batch will help ease in joining the ends together for a more natural inseam without having to manicure quite so much. I love what you’re doing. Thank you so much for sharing. So much looking for more 😊.

It may not pass for ebony, but it’s probably the best mock Brazilian rosewood I’ve seen. And I was surprised how much better the inlays look. I’ll be trying this soon. Great job!

Such a wonderful video, you spent so much time demonstrating and editing etc I really appreciate how much work that is. 👍 Re the epoxy; I've worked with epoxy for years and that epoxy you have is really not right for that job. I use a surfboard topcoat epoxy, it is meant for this type of thing, to apply well and make a very hard tough durable top layer. When applying, it will run off very easily and leaves a 0.1 to 0.15mm thick clear layer with a shiny surface, no orange peel problem. You dont even really have to brush it you can pour on and just run off the excess over the sides. Dries to a solid approx 1-2 hours, touch safe 12 hours. Dont even need to sand between coats because as a topcoat resin it is made to bond to itself. Sorry cant say the exact brand because of work rules but any good quality surfboard topcoat resin should have similar properties. Anyway, thanks for the video. 👍🙂

When doing this do you have strip off the previous wax from a laurel fretboard?
