Impressive! It looks good and sounds better than I expected. Aged. It has character. We all get surface cracks and lines over time. It's not easy being you! Thanks for sharing again!
Rosa String Works Jerry you did a great job on the Fender Palomino guitar it sounds really good. Thanks for the nice video be blessed with love care and grace.
Great job, Jerry. I think you've given the customer something special here. He can pull this guitar out, people will look at that finish and he can explain it lived in a shed for most of its life. Then he can totally shock them by how good it plays and sounds!
Amazing work and boy do you ever have some patience, just shows what skill and tenacity and work ethic can achieve, i thoroughly enjoyed this and several others i have recently watched, keep up the great work. love and peace from bonny scotland, jerry you are welcome here anytime.
sorry i posted comment 3 times my phone kept saying it didn't post. excellent work and great sounding for condition you received it in. i enjoy all your videos. thanks for taking time to post them.
I’m pretty late in watching this very good series of videos on the Fender Palomino but found them very interesting as I always wanted one back in the 1960s. I recently bought a Fender Sonoran which is made in the Far East and is part of the Fender Californian series. It has a bolt on neck with a neck tilt adjustment screw arrangement which makes it maybe a little more complicated than the original design. Although it has no plumbing it’s a thinline so internal access is virtually impossible. Although not the greatest sounding acoustic I own it has a very reasonable tone and the built in Fishman electronics sound excellent . I don’t think that I’ll be leaving it in the shed anytime soon!
For intonating a new saddle slot I use the tailpiece from an old archtop acoustic. Some stiff wire arount the strap peg leather under the edge of the part that sits on the guitar. String up low and high E and viola
Those metal bars were put in because other guitars with bolted on necks folded in half and the neck blocks came away from the body at the heel. It also was how the Fender pickups were mounted on those guitars.
This guitar reminds me exactly of a 12 string Fender villager I got a hold of as a kid. I threw out the body during a flooding disaster in my basement. Of course I regret it now. I still have the neck. Never figured out what to do with it. Live and learn. Nice save on that one tho
Shes really got a nice clean sound and looks much better! Know exactly what you mean with the underbid lol I've fallen in that same hole myself a few times.
I have a taylor big baby and it sounds great but in the outside is not like most of the guitar with that glossy polish, is just like the bare wood like a matte finish, and well it has a bunch of scratch like literally if you put ur nail really slow on the front body it sinks really easy, I bought it like and i wanted to know what can I use to hide the straches a little or why does that happens?..
Lore Dominguez how to make the scratches less noticeable, wipe down the top with boiled linseed oil. Be sure to wait about 2 minutes and then dry it completely with a clean rag. Thank you for watching.
Amazing repair. I was wondering where you got the tail piece (for temporary string attachment)? Is this something you made or is this something that I can buy?
Hey Jerry, tell me about your routing setup. I understand the dremel and base, but what about the jig the guides the router? Is this something you built, or something you bought? BTW, I really enjoy your videos, keep up the great work.
can you please make a video explaining why the angle in the bridge slot? I understand it has to do with the diameter of the strings and a much more better intonation, but a video explains much better. thanks

+lance hansen taking off the back creates as many problems as it fixes. In addition it increases the time Factor considerably. It raises the cost at least double probably triple. Lastly it destroys the Binding generally speaking therefore you've lost your untouched vintage look. Thanks for watching.
It must have broken your heart having to send it out sounding OK but looking like it's been run over by a truck? Not your fault of course. Is there no way you can advise your customers to give you a free rain to solve all the problems or save up until they can afford for you to do it fully, as we know you can!

Thank you for your ingenious work

Andrew Reynolds thank you very kindly my friend. I would love to take you up on coming to Scotland. It would be awesome.
makes me want to find me a palomino in a shed somewhere. for what it is jerry did an awsome job resurrecting it. sounds ok also.
Great job! Looks and sounds great. You're a good man.
Thank you very much.
The Palomino rides again! Awesome!
Jeffrey Prokopowicz thank you very much.

Love watching these videos. Thank you.
Thank you Richard.
Sounds pretty good. Amazing!
+john see thank you very much.
Character... That's the only way I want to describe this video. The guitar has character, and Mr. Rosa has even more character. So stinking cool!
chadrach3 thank you very much.
Yes, and now it is an instrument again!

I like that ole sound pipers sound.Hang the looks👍
Good job. It sounds pretty good and looks 10x better than the way you received it.
Thanks Dale. I think it looked better in person than on camera. Appreciate your time.
I come from a long line of horse traders and I have never heard that one. I love it.!!! “ You’re not going to make a race horse out of a pig”.
very good Jerry !
Well, I would certainly be happy with the final result if I was my guitar!
Thanks for watching.
I think it looks awesome like that. I mean it's old, and it looks old. I guess I just have a thing for that kind of aesthetic..
Johnny John it was cool but a real pain to work on. Thanks for watching.
You're a good man.
Thank you.

Groovy!
Nerver seen any of those metal bars inside a guitar but you sure did a great job and overall it sound really decent
Those metal bars were put in because other guitars with bolted on necks folded in half and the neck blocks came away from the body at the heel. It also was how the Fender pickups were mounted on those guitars.

would it be better to use a shim on the guide edge and move the shim to the other side of the slot to route the second cut?
i.e les chance of error
Amazing repair. I was wondering where you got the tail piece (for temporary string attachment)? Is this something you made or is this something that I can buy?
SGNT I bent it and soldered it together out of coat hanger wire. Thanks for taking a look.
Nice work! I have a '69 Palamino with bridge issues. May I contact you about repairing it?
That would be fine. My email is Rosastringworks@gmail.com
Hey Jerry, tell me about your routing setup. I understand the dremel and base, but what about the jig the guides the router? Is this something you built, or something you bought? BTW, I really enjoy your videos, keep up the great work.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes, I made the jig. I think StewMac sells a similar jig.
Willie Nelsons Trigger..... isn't that a nice thing to restore ?? ;-)
can you please make a video explaining why the angle in the bridge slot? I understand it has to do with the diameter of the strings and a much more better intonation, but a video explains much better. thanks

Did you ever find out why the " plumbing " was in that guitar ???
Robert Easley Sr No, but I feel certain that someone at Fender had a "good" idea! lol. Thanks for watching.

Hi Jerry!
Long time viewer here, Just curious to what size router bit you used in the dremel??
Olley Neale I now use a 3/32 and just use one pass. Thanks for watching.
Thanks Jerry! Keep up the amazing work :D
Rosa String Works can you do a video of a Harmony guitar?
Brian, I will do that if I get one in for repair. Thanks for watching.
where did you get the gig? did you make it?
is your routing jig homemade or did you bought it?
hey jerry can i get a good pic of that jig so I can make one?
That's a very old video and I have no idea which degree framing too. I don't have time to re-watch the video.
I wonder why you didn't take off the back?

I have done it both ways. Shim is a very good method. Thanks for watching.
