In this video, which is a compilation of Facebook updates, I will take you through my adventure (and it was an adventure) of replacing the fretboard on the second of three Gibson Baldwin guitars I purchased. This guitar cost $50 (Craigslist) and was in rough shape when I bought it. The guitar was loaded up with dirt, grime and grunge along with a fretboard that had the frets spaced incorrectly. This was my first attempt at replacing a fretboard and painting / refinishing the neck. It was a great experience and so I thought I would share it with my fellow guitar enthusiasts. End result? I'm happy with it... but this type of work will take time and a lot of patience when factoring in the paint / finishing process (took me 6 weeks). All the parts were sourced from Aliexpress, eBay and Amazon (Chinese suppliers) to keep the total cost of refurbishing the guitar to a minimum.

The guitar is a late 70s/early 80s Hondo II. I picked it up for a great price at Sam Ash (people want the "new" stuff). I spent several days restoring the guitar back to it's original look. To do this I gutted the guitar. I also resanded the fretboard to refresh the radius and installed all new frets. The pickups are Wilkinsons with all new wiring and pots. All new hardware - except the tuners which are in nice shape. She looks and plays great.
