Some guitars certainly scream to be picked, strummed, hammered on and off with the same enthusiasm you expressed! and some maybe not so much. Nice of you to differentiate that particular ax. Great video, troubleshooting and repair.
Hey Caleb - very interesting way to get that clamped, This is a pretty impressive repair. It's kind of cool that you are doing repairs to a Rosa guitart too!
Great repair. Love to see more content from you. A little advice for the next time you have this or similar repair. If you turn the guitar Head stock down body up. The gravity will send the glue as far as possible to the front. Same with turning the guitar onto the right and left side. Thanks.
Good repair Caleb. Nice guitar, I know Jerry uses the best wood possible in his instruments. Also I hate to throw a wrench in everything, but doesn't Jerry have a lifetime guarantee on his work? Are you doing his warranty work? Just wondering.... If you read this Jerry, I'm not trying to throw one at you.
I remember watching this guitar being built. Besides the name at the 12th fret, the easiest way to spot it is the peg hole for the G string is out of line 😂
Good diagnostics..... .. You've turned into a decent luthier.... Trouble shooting in the biggest part ... and theres many who would have simply thought, neck reset, or shave the bridge down and take the saddle down ..Something I'd never do..
Caleb, I didn't see the glue oozing out the ends of the neck block tho!!! The "master" always says to make sure of COMPLETE coverage, eh Jerry?!? 😉🤣😂 ~Chris
Very kind to not criticise the old boss. Good job young fella. Very strange how that happened though. Is it the colour balance? The top looks remarkably yellow I thought. Not like I remember it looking.
Seems like you could have used the same tool you probed with to spread the glue. Not going back in with glue on the paint brush would have worked better, including keeping the glue off the edge of the sound hole. Making your own swab with cotton stuck onto bbq skewers would let you clean up even after gluing. Some cork or even felt on the bottom of the wood would go a long way to protecting the frets and soundboard. You could glue leather on those C clamps, as this would be something you would always need.
If Jerry is still breathing, he should be responsible for this repair.I watched this build.Nice work, but if structural issues are popping up after a few years, (at major $$$), not a good sign.
To be fair there were signs that the guitar had some hard knocks plus got damp/wet. The owner runs a campground with water adventures (kayak/canoe/raft) of some sort so it does live in an environment that's not optimum for a fine guitar. That's why many guitarists have a bum around beach guitar or one made of carbon fiber for use in the great outdoors. Best!
@@neilfromclearwaterfl81 I wasn't knocking Jerry, just said what it looked like. I have watched every video Jerry has ever made, many if them twice. The man is a dynamo and amazes me with his stamina. He is like my father was 60years ago when he was struck down by arthritis of the worst kind, so I admire him greatly.
Last time you must have done just enough to make it play but not a correct repair! I geuss that;s job security until the customer figures out you are just a beginner without a clue!

Nice job. Apprentice! LOL
Just for the record after serving an apprenceship I believe the correct term is now Journeyman.
I enjoyed that Caleb nice work, as I enjoyed Rosa string works videos for many years......
Good work Caleb .... nice to watch
Great Repair Job, Caleb!
Good job, on finding and fixing the problem.
I'm new here, and I enjoy watching you fixing guitars. Just an amateur player myself, but I love guitars and every thing about them. Good job Caleb.
In addition to the nice work, your growing skills at presenting and showing what you are doing is quite impressive!

Nice diagnosis and fix!
Plastic food package makes a good tool for pushing glue into tight spaces and cut up bath/kitchen sponge is great for cleaning up glue.
great stuff man!
Great job. Keep on keepin on Caleb.

Nice job !
Good work
I would have used a wood block under the clamp to thigh tighten the block all the way you can see the end of the neck block is not glued.
Maybe Jerry used hide glue on that joint.🤪
You done good, finding and fixing the issue 👏👏

How embarrassing! Was it you or Jerry who didn't put enough glue in there in the first place! LOL

Nice repair, doesn't Jerry guarantee the guitar though?
I said the same thing.

Why yer some David Gilmour 🎸
I would say, that rosa string works makes sh't guitars just like prs. And incase no one knows ....prs stands for PLEASE REPAIR SOON
Sponge or rag on a stick? Glue eating insects?
A little heat would have been good. Just saying
those strings sounded dead!
It's the guitar....
Jerry said again this morning he has never had a properly done glue join fail in forty years, not one. Don't ping this video to him.
Somebody snuck hide glue in his glue bottle!😂😂
@@jefferp Yep. Truthfully it didn't look like it was glued at all.
@@poorfesor we might hear from Jerry in his daily vlog. Hope so.
