Re: 1966 Fender Mustang rescued from the hoarder's attic
I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed (pardon the pun), but your reply doesn't make sense. Why would you take the original screws out with a screw driver, reinstall the neck, and then take it off again with previously loosened screws with a power drill? To save time? You can just edit the video you know.CCOffset wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2019 8:51 amOk, true confession time, I used that on purpose to get people to comment lol. I had already taken out the neck with a proper screw driver once and knew that the screws weren't tight.
Also, I also use that drill with the clutch on its loosest setting so that it slips before any damage to the screw head.
You also say you used the power drill on purpose to click bait us into commenting. Why? It sounds very patronising and reeks of of amateur hour. That's not a good way of promoting guitars you are trying to sell.

Re: 1966 Fender Mustang rescued from the hoarder's attic
Come on guys ... the power drill verses screw driver is a visual issue... 1.5 sec of power drill footage (un screwing an already loosened screw) verses 5 sec of laboured hand screwing .... all for the video.
Also ... you don't think they use power drills (with clutches) in guitar factories these days?
and yes ... go to town on all the double entendres ...

I took the neck off for the first time a few days before this video just to check. Plus, have you used the clutch on your drill? It's very useful in this application.debudavid wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2019 6:58 amI'm not the sharpest tool in the shed (pardon the pun), but your reply doesn't make sense.

And yes, it is amateur hour over here and I do appreciate your feedback. I wish that comments weren't very important but unfortunately the YouTube algorithm disagrees. I don't consider anything in here misinformation. I've used this drill to take many Fender necks off without incident but I normally use a screwdriver. In this case, the drill with clutch on its loosest setting was appropriate in my opinion.
Thank you very much for watching and offering honest feedback! I highly value it and will take into careful consideration.

Thank you! I'm very honored by your subscription. I'm excited to see where this guitar goes and hear it make music again.

It's ok, I completely understand and appreciate the feedback here! Honestly, I'm tickled to death that the kind and knowledgeable folks of OSG would watch the video. I don't take your time for granted at all.
