Love my Smith’s Allwood Epoxy for this type of repair. #gibsones125

- This wood polish from @lusa_organics is my ongoing favorite product for treating bare wood parts that need some conditioning. On an old Gibson like this, the rosewood fretboard needed some leveling to bring it into true. After sanding to a shine, I apply a light coat of the polish and let sit for awhile to absorb. Old Gibson guitars often have hide glue in the fretslots and I follow suit when I’m refretting. This wood polish is also a perfect barrier to stop the hide glue from penetrating the fingerboard surface. Quick cleanup!
- I’ve been using this tool I made from an exacto blade for years. It’s great for cleaning out fret slots on a bound fingerboard. I improved it tenfold today! After spending a week in the Bad Axe Toolworks workshop, I saw this little cleaning hook in a new way. Instead of a hook, I filed it into a sawtooth, and it cuts such a nice slot bottom now! #itsinthedetails

- This #taylorguitar has seen better days, but I’ll shine a little light on the future for it!
