A 1.5 hour DVD made for first time guitar repairers on replacing a truss rod.

This DVD will show you how it is possible to replace a broken truss rod in your home workshop. Basic carpentry skills and knowledge are required. The DVD covers removal of the fretboard, replacing the truss rod and regluing of the fretboard. Filmed at my guitar building school in Milford, Connecticut, the entire process is broken down into individual steps.

Our videos differ from other similar videos on the market because we utilize two cameras during the filming process, allowing us to make real-time close-up shots during the presentation. Jamie Boss, an experienced luthier and video producer, has been a technical training instructor in various industrial fields for over 20 years and has made hundreds of training and promotional videos during his career.
