I share what you are going through , I have severe C.O.P.D. and a terrible everyday cough , and i wish to God I had never started smoking cigarettes . A lesson to all who smoke , give up now . I hope you recover soon , i so enjoy watching you repair guitars .
My girl and I run a small business in Ontario and the way the government treats people struggling to get ahead up here is criminal. Glad you're able to manage the BS, Ted. Many cant.
The parasites, and rich elite always come out on top. For some reason Western governments don't want a middle class, or upwardly mobile class anymore....The rich have lawyers, and tax professionals to get them off, and the parasites....are basically parasites, and think they are entitled because of something that happened 150 years ago, or whatever....Don't get me started on all the additional parasites Western governments like to bring in every year called "refugees". It's time to get realistic, and call out this BS. The working man is struggling, they don't assimilate foreign refugees properly anymore for political reasons, and we are running out of room. Period and end of report.
I’m a carpenter who’s been in my own for 5 years. You pretty much nailed the way they do us in the states. Enough money for a higher tax bracket, but not enough to afford the insurance you can’t qualify for a discount on. It’s pretty neat. 😂
As an independent guitar repair-tech for 40+ years, I appreciate and sympathize with Tom's 'tale of woe'. Please, Tom - keep sharing All your experiences - not just your repair expertise!
I put the surgical tubing in as the bridge was super unstable with the factory springs. Neck was fine so I left it alone. Looking forward to playing it. Feel better soon and thanks for doing the work.
We’ve got the same thing here mate in England it’s called tax on account , they basically want all your money off you before you’ve earned it ,love the videos by the way keep up the good work you are a great craftsmen they can never take that of you !
You can only pay a tax on gains that are actually realized. some financial gains can't be estimated accurately, few can. that's called speculation. the markets use it but your tax authority should not be able to. you can't pay what you haven't earned, that's called an IOU ;-)
Well done, Ted. Friends complain to me (I'm not a pro luthier or anything) about the cost of a} repairs and b) handmade guitars. This is insane. Most guitar repair people are not living the highlife and all but the most famous makers are on minimum wage or close if they cost their time properly.
Agreed. Expertise whether formally trained or not, costs money. The day to day expenses in running the business, costs money. Then as Ted pointed out, paying tax. This all before you get to take a living wage out of your earnings. And I'm no raving rightwinger either.
Repairing just costs a lot of time. And it's hard to ask too much before people don't want it anymore. I did some repairs for people but it's just not worth it unless you're really good and really dedicated. And to then also film these episodes weekly...hats off to Ted.
I have seen both luthiers that charged too much and not enough. The lowest one I used to give 2X what the bill was and the highest I wouldn't ever go to. How does anyone fixing guitars think that $300-$400 an hour is sane? I mean what did they do - find the cure for cancer? No! They made a new nut for a guitar.
@@channelsixtysix066 The way I see it, you're not paying for the 2 hours it took the guy to fix your guitar, you're paying for the 10 years it took for that guy to get good enough to fix your guitar in 2 hours
Ted, I think when people say "take your time, come back when you're ready", just mean for you to not worry about posting videos right away. Hope you are doing well, love your talks and sense of humor.
Just want to say that I've been watching for a long time; and I really appreciate all that you do, and the fact that you take the extra time in addition to your actual work to make, edit, and upload all of this awesome content! I, also, am an independent luthier in CT, USA, and I got the virus for my first time at the beginning of this month; followed up with a bout of dehydration.. all in kept me down about 15 days.. oof! You have my sympathies, and I'm glad that you're on the mend. Again; thanks for all the great content.. and I'd be lying if i didn't say that I've picked up a trick or two from your content. Thank you! That SG is just the perfect color.
Thanks for sharing how the sausage is made. This needs to be shared and known to folks thinking of getting in the biz and it's just a great case study in modern economics where no good deed goes unpunished. Keep up the amazing work. Cheers from FL, USA.
I'm going to listen to this again. It was wonderful. Why so many of us watch? We are in somewhat similar places. I feel reinforced and validated in my values. It's a kind of pay you can't spend, I know, but still. I feel many of us as viewers have metaphorical accounts in the same bank. My guitars range from my Grandfather's, my Fathers, and the one he gave me at age 9 for learning three tough numbers. I still play the last in service to a local congregation. Thanks Ted. Sincerely, Sam at 70, playing family heirlooms thanks to Luthiers who care beyond the money.
I know the pain of too few threads showing through the wood. Just had a customer bring in an SG and wanted that fancy electronics swapped out for standard (was '61 reissue, but pretty sure they didn't have that thing in '61). Was going g to put in a Switchcraft "drop in replacement for SG" switch that didn't have enough threads. Had to go with a metric import! The difference is 3/16" threads to 5/16" threads. Hope you are feeling better!
I have watched your entire youtube opus in a week or so. And i am not a luthier, nor do i intend to be. Was a musician, but not for years now. So, that's saying something about your content, not just my mental health. The calm, erudite way you go about things is really refreshing. Level of bullshit that has become standard almost everywhere is exhausting to some of us. Thank you.
Love the Emerson pre-wired pots! I also love that you took the time to shield the cavity and cover plate. I know putting this video together when you feel really awful was no fun. I hope you feel better soon.
Thanks uncle Ted, I’m an apprentice carpenter and I’m having a hard time making it all happen financially sometimes so it’s good to know I’m not the only👍🏻
Oh, by the way, you did an excellent job on that lovely Epiphone SG. I did the same thing, but it took me days, working at a snail's pace as I hadn't done it before, but watching you like hawk really helped. Thanks!
I love the spoon method. I've used it for years and always get lucky I guess. I use a micro fiber rag as well under the spoons. Ans also I like the idea of the surgical tubing for the pick-ups. Ill be using that idea in the future. Cheers. Im so so glad I found your channel. Its awesome, entertaining, and educational!
Those push on connectors are great for on/off voltages and digital signals but they are absolutely terrible for analogue signals and they oxcidise over time. I've had amps come to me that sound dead, a quick temporary fix is to reseat the connectors a few times once they're soaked in switch cleaner or, way better still, cut them off and hard wire it and the amp sounds like new, full of guts and sparkle again!
I believe the textured covers from that era of Gibson were supposed to be shielding , We used to take a polishing cloth slide it under the knob twist it up to pull knobs
Pipe cleaners work well for removing pesky knobs too. Pipe cleaners also work well for replacing/installing a wiring harness into a 335 type. Wrap them through and around the splines on the pot to pull the pots and jack through. They grip without marring, and they release easily with a firm tug.
I gots an epi just like this sg. It’s great ! Soft frets but other than that,I love it. I put a Wilkinson bridge on it which really helped intonate it and keeps the strings from jumping out of their slots. It’s already turning green after two years!
Get well soon Ted! Im a Luthier here in the UK and the situation regarding pay is the same. I do it for the love, not the money..of which I have very little! I think there is a worldwide war against small businesses so hang in there. Its our patriotic duty to fight back by surviving! :o) xx
An easier way to pull knobs is a $8 plastic auto trim removal tool set. Non marring plastic, with all different pry shapes and sizes. I use the same set for both my car and my guitar...never marred either.
Loved the opening screed on just how impossible conditions can be for those that strive for something better than "working poor", a term which should not exist. I too have a lifetime of hard won experience in how to do everything on the cheap. At least up yonder a toothache usually won't lead directly to bankruptcy.
When installing a harness you can use rubber cement to glue the washers to the pots. Just a tiny drop does the trick, and it peels right off if you wish. Get it at any art or craft supply store. Best wishes and hope you are well soon!
Mine is 2018. I swapped the pickups to Craig Vineham minis, bridge and posts to Faber locking and it is a really nice guitar. Will upgrade the electronics too.
I'm retired, but I still work part time to suppliment my meagre SS stipend. If I'm lucky, I may make 27 thou a year. My wife figures our taxes. Basically, we owe zero and expect to get nothing back for a refund. I'm a senior citizen and expect to work till the day I drop on the job, which I have already done because of shortness of breath due to a aortic heart valve problem, which I knew nothing about back this last November. I now have a better artificial valve, so I may last 8 or more years. How can poor people stand such times as these, no matter what country one lives in ??
My old man is a boilermaker close to retirement age (65yo in AUS), he shit scared that he can't afford to retire and that he's going to have to keep going till he drops.
@@ar2612 That seems to be the way things are going these days. It is not a fun prospect looking for the time we reach the end of our trails, so in the meantime, give it all ya got, there mate, Cheers
I have a Custom Shop version of SG Special ‘63 Lightning Bar Reissue. With tens strings in the normal tuning it intonates perfectly. That bridge is period correct and one of the features of the model. It gets medium C neck to and that made me get it over other SG’s while most models have slim taper neck or they have vibrolas that actually do not work well. Neck carve is perfection and neck is super fast. Feels like a dream in hand. Mine is dark cherry red though. Changed all wiring and after it guitar reached it’s perfection. Needles to say disinfection fluids are mots of the times alcohol based and absolutely ruin the Gibson nitro finish even in smallest amounts especially if applied and left in the case. Best option is to leave it two weeks in clean place.
Uncle Ted, I know ya ain’t looking at comments much but they do help the algorithm 😁. I’ve had the Charlie Victor One Niner all week myself, lost a couple days early last week, no kiddin, don’t really remember much. I missed five days of work also and I’m planning to punch the ol time clock in the morning, see how that goes. Anyway, I feel for ya man, hope it winds up soon for both of us! I just wanted to say “good luck, and we’re all counting on you”.
I have got one of these , a 2019, I believe...or 18..I can't quite remember.. In any case..thiscwas interesting to watch. I actually put a minihumbucker (Lollar) in the bridge to handle some more gain without the hum...and it's great for bite... But still...it is a bit thin ...and almost overly bright...I'm thinking of going back to the P90 after a year or so with the mini hum.. I would have really liked to hear the new Mojo pickups...they could, in fact, be the answer I seek...🤔
Damn, this puts some things in perspective for me. For a couple of years it was my dream to move to a place like Canada to start working as a guitar tech, you know, in a music shop or something, to start off and see where it goes from there. Maybe I'll stick to my 9-5 in my own BS country and leave my guitar tech hobby as just a hobby.
I trained, full-time, Stevenson College, Edinburgh, 35 years ago as an Orchestral String, and Brass Musical Instrument Technician. For several years I was one of two factory based Customer Repairmen for Boosey and Hawkes, London. I have professional memberships, and letters after my name 😉 I ended up as a NHS Scotland specialist hospital equipment, Electro-mechanical Engineer... Mending instruments just doesn't pay!
Are we not gonna talk about how perfectly timed that was at 3:49? LOL!
I thought the same thing lol
Right? lol
The lecture at the beginning was quite sobering. Thank you for that, and I am glad you're on the mend.

Pipe cleaners work well for removing pesky knobs too. Pipe cleaners also work well for replacing/installing a wiring harness into a 335 type. Wrap them through and around the splines on the pot to pull the pots and jack through. They grip without marring, and they release easily with a firm tug.
