Jarle Müller on Instagram: "Time Capsule Sunday thanks to Gibson. Here’s a look at the neck building process at Gibson’s 1967 Kalamazoo factory.

Respect the workers, respect their craft and enjoy this footage from the good old days. This is 1 minute and 30 seconds of pure Gibson and guitar building history. Watch out for the neck and fretboard clamping jig near the end! Amazing! 

Any “jokes” about broken headstocks will be removed - as I think it’s highly disrespectful to the craftsmen and craftswomen you see here.

Big thanks to @gibsonguitar for allowing me to share this footage even in and edited version for educational purposes. The full documentary is linked in my bio for easy access"

Swisher Guitars on Instagram: "Routing the neck pocket. Using a center finding rule, I line up the neck with the body centerline. Then I’ll add some MDF cutoff pieces used to create a makeshift template, and glue them down using masking tape and CA glue. I used to make a set template for this, but I’m finding this method to be easier and more versatile. Then go to town with your router and as always, check your fit. . . . #guitars #luthier #guitarmaker #luthiery #guitarneckpocket #luthiers #guitar #electricguitar #arizona #handmadeguitars #customguitars #guitarbody #guitarbuilder"

Takurou Seino on Instagram: "Tips for Joining Round Dowels. You might not often need to join round dowels, but did you know there’s a clever way to find the perfect center? All you need is a drill bit with the same diameter as the dowel and a dowel center marker. If you keep a few sizes on hand, it’s super easy to find the center—very handy!

Ellis Hahn - Electric Bass Builder at L.E.H. Guitars on Instagram: "Installing frets on this killer 4 string neck. The olive wood headstock cap goes so nicely with the grain of this Morado fingerboard. 

In the vid: I’m seating frets with a press and caul after having made sure the fingerboard was true and correctly radiused. After they look seated by eye, I’m going back and checking that they are level with the frets next to them and adjusting as needed with the fret press. After I’m satisfied that things are level and perfect- I lock them into position with some super thin super glue by wicking it in under the fret.

Faga Guitarwork 🇮🇩 on Instagram: "Jadi Kalau Gitar Bangsa STRAT bermasalah dengan Fretboard itu wajar, karena membuat radius CEMBUNG atau angka kecil seperti 9.5 kebawah itu SULIT untuk presisi jika dikerjakan massal, akhirnya banyak terjadi masalah pada neck yang berdampak di playbillity #servisgitar #bengkelgitarjogja #servisgitarjogja #fullsetup #setupgitar #jasaservisgitar #refret #gantifret #jescar #jescarfret #stainlessfret #fretwork #guitartech #restoration #fender #stratocaster #guitarrepair #guitarrepairindonesia"
