- Once the King of guitars for Montgomery Ward, this guitar was in the shop for some much needed TLC. A neck reset later and this instrument regained it's crown back! Filled with good music from RSW!

Lest we forget,the music on your channel is wonderful.
Hats off to your granddad , thanks to him you have picked up on his footsteps. Alfred NYC/PR
Great job, your voice sounds really calm, that help us to keep paying attention on what you are explaining.
I know nothing about instruments, music or woodworking, but this channel is my new favorite! You explain everything so well and your voice is very calming. Thanks.
Fantastic job, Caleb! I'm kinda thinking you were born to be a Luthier. Jerry, great job of taking Caleb under your wing and teaching him.
Nice Job Caleb, Wow a Montgomery Ward guitar… I remember I purchased my first guitar from Spiegel Catalog... no longer in business either… it cost me a whopping $19.95 back in 1968 when I was around 12… it took me quite a while to save for it, by cutting grass and delivering newspapers and such…👍👍👍
Awesome work Caleb! You are doing so well. I love your confidence level when taking on these projects. Keep up the great work. Periodically during the video we can hear Jerry scrapping away on that mandolin. Can't imagine the hours you two put into these projects. Hope we see more soon. Until next time :)
What an old gem of an instrument. Great job!
Great job Caleb. I take my hat off to you for your splendid work.
Sounds wonderful! I got a Recording King 12 string four years ago and it’s the best sounding guitar I have. It also stays in tune better than my other ones
Nice work Caleb. Another old cool looking guitar ... saved and improved upon.
GREAT work, Caleb!
Another awesome job Caleb!!
Great work as usual Caleb!
Great Job! Another check in the box!
Great job young man. It was a pleasure to watch you work a couple weeks ago.
Kalob...I've ben so happy watching you grow. Doing much better with explaining your work. Less anxiety. You go buddy!
Yes, Caleb, you are doing better, talking to the camera.
Just pretend you have an eight year old, who don't know squat, standing next to you and talk to him.
A lot of us, out here, are just like that eight year old. We don't know squat, but we want to. 😋

Great job Caleb nice repair your doing great my friend 👍
Wow. Great job Caleb!
Nice one Caleb. You the man!
Great job Caleb!
Great job, Caleb!
that is awesome work...... great video! :)
You are doing a great job on repairs. You demonstrate clearly how much you have learned. Bringing an unplayable or damaged instrument back to life brings everyone great joy - the luthier, the owner and also the viewers.
Great work Caleb, you keep making strides forward, I love it!
Great job Caleb.
Great job Caleb
Well done Caleb ! You are a fine young man ! I'm sure Jerry is very proud of you and he should be !
You've learned very well and you are so methodical and precise !
I'd take my guitar to you any day of the week ❤️
Enjoyed it Caleb, keep up the good work
Jerry best
Awesome job Caleb!!!!🎸🎶🙏👍🏻
Nice work Caleb...way to go..
Calab as many have stated here... we loved the video. You are a wonderful addition to the channel especially since there is no dillitalling going on there! Lol. I loved hearing you say that! Jerry is rubbing off on you in more ways then you ever thought!.
Well done young man,, your Jedi skills are advancing quite nicely!!!
What a neat old guitar. Most unique pickup I've ever seen. Looks like a Charlie Christian type, but with double blades. Fascinating what people would buy back in the day. But all in all, a nice box, and now it's ready for the next hundred years. Great job as always, Caleb. And you are really getting good at describing what you're doing, which is a great way for those also learning the techniques you are. COOL!
Well done! I enjoyed watching this as much or more than any of your videos. Really enjoyed the Rosa Strings music here too.
You so deserve a thumbs up for an excellent video Caleb. Most impressive.
Jerry you sound like a wonderful teacher. I like the way you give instructions and how much you trust Caleb. And, kid, you are great!!! Thanks for all your contents!
A fascinating video with cool and thoughtful repairs and an interesting early acoustic-electric guitar. Good job, Caleb (and Jerry!).
Excellent!
Awesome video Caleb. I have a new Recording king RD-328 and love that guitar. It's solid Adirondacks spruce top and solid East Indian Rosewood back inside. It's a cannon. Don't overlook Recording King. Keep up the awesome work Caleb, you are doing a great job.
Well done Caleb.
Great Job Caleb! That's a neat old guitar and it sounds pretty good!
Nice work!
Great Job Caleb.. Sounds pretty darn good...a nice old guitar..
Excellent job young man fetching a beautiful old guitar back to life again and making it good for another 50 years well done on a excellent video showing your up and coming talent
Thumbs Up Caleb! You made it look easy...
Awesome job!!
Would love that guitar!! 🤘🤘
Great Job there Caleb you really made a difference to a nice old guitar well done.
Nice job, Caleb. 👍👍👍🤠
What an interesting old guitar! Nice work... it sounds really nice.
Nice one Caleb, 👏👏👏👏👍🇬🇧
Caleb, great job! Jerry your compositions have become earworms that I hum and sing to throughout my day. Thanks to Melissa too for starting to get this ragtag crew into shape! Love you guys!
Nice work Caleb!! Love love love my old archtops and makes me cry for joy when someone does the right job and resurrects one with respect and dignity!
Great job fella.
It never ceases to amaze me some of the instruments you get in the shop. Unique is an understatement. Jerry, I noticed that Caleb has mastered holding his mouth right in order to get the most out of his blossoming talent. Thanks for the video.
Nice! Always good to see an old instrument getting a new lease on life.
Great job Caleb. You are lucky to be learning from a master of the craft. I enjoy watching you learn. You may become a master yourself some day. It is obvious that you love the work.
Great job Caleb, I have enjoyed watching your progression as a luthier. You did a great job on the old Recording King. BIG thumbs up.
Very good work Caleb!!!!!!)))🎸🎸🎸👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😊
Nice work
Excellent
Good job Caleb looks like you can make any old guitar play good.
what a labour of love for something that would sound better hung on the wall !
I've seen some old Sears and Montgomery Ward catalogs, and those pickups with the controls on the sides were common. Keep up the good work, Caleb!
Excellent job, and a very interesting video as you have such a cool, relaxing “bench side” manor.....
I’m gonna nickname you “The Doc” 😎
Nice job Caleb, still love the old ones given a new lease on life!! keep up the old work.
good job Caleb
very good job ,all righty
Right on Caleb!!
Nice old guitar, it’s amazing how good those old basic pickups can sound.
Nice work Caleb...time to ask for a raise!! 😉
Excellent job. I imagine it was a big leap of faith to apprentice for Jerry, but you are getting an education no money can buy. Your skills were already good and I think they're improving fast. Keep up the great work.
Hi guys;
Wow, you can see that underbow from the side. Your fix looks great and the instrument sounds good too.
Nice job Caleb, I have to do the same job on my 1950s Klira
Respekt ,well done Sir.
Go Caleb! Makin' us proud;)
Hey Mr Mills (Caleb) what a great video on this old guitar versus that old Esteban special
Good job Caleb!you're a very fortunate young man
To have the opportunity to
Learn from Jerry,for it is a
trade that very few people
Know, and you are learning
from 1 of the best luthiers
There is.
He is teaching you not only the trade, but little tricks that many he learned the hard way, so don't take things forgranted.Hang in
there and learn all you can
for nobody lives forever,like my great uncle who taught me woodworking and guitar
repair while he was busy
Making his own fiddles.
I had to move back up to
Michigan due to my father's
health failing fast. Before I
Knew it my dad and uncle
both passed away within a few months of each other.
Thanks to them both I have 2 trades.
I was a auto mechanic, but
got my hand severely crushed in a accident.I
Can't work on cars anymore
Now I'm on disability, but I can do luthier work as a
extra source of income thanks to my great uncle.
One of those is currently selling, on Reverb, for $1450 + ship.
It has the same electrics but a different tail piece.
Lol. The guitar from this video is up on Reverb too.
@@guitarsforsaleonebay I found your listing: reverb.com/item/34375528
Wow. It didn’t take long for that guitar to appear on the market! Nice to see that Caleb’s great work is properly regarded as a selling point! Seeing the invoice from RSW that was good value for money!
Well actually the guitar's been done for about 2 months they're just releasing the video now. And I had actually had the guitar up on reverb before the repair was done. I took it down while they had the guitar and then I put it back up soon after I got it back.I thought maybe they didn't do a video on this one and I was actually surprised to see it pop up. They must have been working on this vid for a while.
Man, you learn guitar repair and building you’ll never be out of work. I never really know who to send my guitars to.
Curious pickup placement. It seems to me it would be more style matching to the contemporary music to go closer to the neck, either half way or right up to it. Yes, i see the way it was built that would require a significant overhaul. Plus, they were just learning their way around the application of electrifying guitars then, so Montgomery Ward just entered something into the market to get a slice of the pie. Cool video, thanks.
That looked actually quite a difficult repair, but I am glad Caleb was up to the task, but I kinda knew anyway judging from all his previous work. Very well done indeed.
Great job Caleb, you did that job like a pro, the guitar sounds great for an old oldjun, but then so does Jerry lol. Great entertainment watching your skills. Cheers. Andy. Scotland
The way Caleb conducts himself with the tools of the trade shows he has been exposed to fine woodworking for awhile. He's doing advanced techniques I've not seen Jerry perform.
Beautiful. I'd do what I did with my Sears Silvertone - I'd turn it into a superfine slide guitar and leave the neck as is. I'm not really lazy, just terrified of destroying the instrument. Plus I play exquisite slide guitar in open tuning with just firsts and fifths. Nice work, Caleb.
Wish I had your tenacity and talent at your age but I'm trying thanks from London England 4:20 am
Caleb Great job kid, Jerry has taught You well. But You also obviously have a natural talent that cannot be taught.. One suggestion to Both You & Jerry I know you guys use that semi chrome polish I beg of you wear gloves when useing that stuff, Take it from a 60yr old guy who has been exposed to too many chemicals over my career Iam now suffering from a lot of issues. God Bless & Keep em coming💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏
How old is Caleb ?
@@The..Butterfly..Effect he'll be 21 this month
@@chrismills1561 Not a kid
Nice repair! Thanks for bringing this one back!
I think this guitar should be strung with electric guitar strings, they work better with a magnetic pick-up.
In keeping with the guitars age I would of strung it with a medium gauge flat wound.
Nice! I love old archtops
That looks like the pickup on my Supro lap-steel
Awesome bud. Neck resets are difficult for a lot of guitar repairers and some luthiers.
The new Jerry is born !!!
You're doing a fine job Caleb. X
That pickup looks like it may have come from a vintage Lap Steel guitar and has been DIY'd into the Recording King.
No it's original. That's my guitar. There are a number of others that can be seen online that match it.
@@guitarsforsaleonebay
You put the guitar in good hands.
Going to be a nice playing tool.
Here is a quote from an identical guitar for sale- which was made by Regal for Recording King (Montgomery Ward) that mentions the pick up type was used in lap steel guitars: "This very early electric archtop features a pickup which at the time Regal almost exclusively reserved for the Maybell lap steel they were producing under the Slingerland name, however, a few documented examples have surfaced with this pickup design mounted on a guitar like the instrument for sale here!
Well they're saying it's identical pick up system that was used in a certain lap steel model guitar but that does not mean it was home installed into the Recording King there are far too numerous examples of this exact guitar with that exact pickup for to have been just a home done grafted in pickup. Definitely not DIY'd.
@@guitarsforsaleonebay I have edited my comment because it clearly was made by Regal with the pick up installed at the factory- not added later as there ae a number of these guitars around. I imagine that there is also a Montgomery Ward ad that features the guitar but the Regal guitar book does not show one although it does show Recording King ads from that time.
That pickup was obviously designed by Motorola, a pioneer in vehicle radios. Very cool.
You are learning pretty fast, Caleb. Maybe you can fill in while Jerry plays music and chops wood!
Seriously, I do hope you continue as a luthier. You seem to have a real affinity for the work.
I was surprised that the Rosa shop uses Titebond on top of epoxy, yet it seems to work. I'd love it if at some point, in some video, Jerry, you could tell us what you know about using these two adhesives together. Great job, Caleb. Plus, super cool old guitar!
You know it rite when its goodNtight 👍
I have a ‘39 Recording King exactly like this except the pickup is in the neck position. Only one I’ve ever seen
Neat old guitar. I think those were lap steel pickups from Kay or Valco or whoever made the guitars for Montgomery Ward.

Thanks for the video!
