- You will see that I had to make a bunch of specialized tools to repair all of the issues inside this guitar. Check out my other 150 videos and my website at: www.rosastringworks.com

This is an excellent demonstration of how being "cheap" (by doing half-a$$ repairs on the braces, in this case) can cost a person much more on the long run. Once again, my father was correct when he taught me: "learn and do it right, or don't do it all, and deligate the task to someone who knows how!" That being said, actually, Jerry, you do remind me a lot of my dad! 😄
The difference between a tradesman and a craftsman, the craftsman can make his own tools. Great job and perseverance sir
It's the poor craftsman that blames his tools. It's the exceptional craftsman that modifies or makes his own.I thought I wanted to be a luthier until I watched this. I am going to leave it to artists like you. Well done,sounds great too.
cheezervvvvv thank you very much. The hardest part is how picky musicians are. That's way worse than actually working on the instruments. Thank you again my friend.
Wow, I admire your never give up attitude. Your videos are actually inspirational. Thank you so much for making them. :)
The joke about looking for a job at the hospital cracked me up big time!
Jerry...if my wife ever drops her wedding ring down the sink drain I’m callin’ you to fish it out 🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely just an artist. A master is someone that can take crap and make a butterfly. Kudos sir.
As always, improper fixes make a proper repair that much more complicated and expensive. I hope the customer didn't pay for the previous repairs - unfortunately there are a lot of unskilled "techs" out there that do a lot of hack jobs and many folks don't know any better. True luthiers are a rare breed. Thank you for sharing your skills!
ijosef thank you very kindly.
YOU ARE PROBABLY THE ONLY MAN WHO WOULD PERSEVERE WITH AN OLD INSTRUMENT ( WITHOUT BREAKING IT DOWN AND RE-BUILDING IT )... LIKE YOU JUST DID...I HOPE THE GUY WHO OWNS IT APPRECIATES YOUR EFFORT.....
Jerry, your patience amazes me. Great job!
Amazing perseverance, dedication and creativity. If I ever need brain surgery I'm calling you.
Well that's a new one I haven't done that yet, but I'll give it a shot. LOL thanks for watching.
This was more exiting than any of the batman movies. Thanks.
maker78 thank you very much.
You've put so much love in that work that's amazing and it shows us you never give up. How great you are!
You’ve got the patience of a saint. What a mess!!! Great idea of flipping that bar clamp around. Cheers.
+Mike Snodgrass thank you very much my friend.
Your persistence is what helps make you a great repair artist, you did a great job and who else would have the patience but you ? Thank for the results Jerry. Take care and may God Bless. Nice singing by the way.
GILLEBRATH thank you very kindly I really appreciate it.
I have a early sixties Gibson. The pick guard curled and cracked the wood . Should I leave it alone or take it off ? Thanks enjoy your work .
Holy hamburger, Batman! What a tough repair. You achieved a Super outcome, though. The 2 videos show that necessity truly is the mother of invention.
Nella Yema thank you very kindly.
Geeze Jerry, what patience. I'm going crazy just watching this repair. Cheers my friend.
Wow. Clearly you needed all your super powers on that repair-WHEW! Nice job on spinning around the mini clamps as well. Lucky Gibson. Next time I feel like giving up on a tough one I will remember this job-and if I can't get it I'm boxing it up and sending it to you!
108ashtangi thank you so much for the nice words. But if it's any tougher than this one, I don't want it. lol
That "Pull Chisel" you made is awesome! Great work Jerry!
Brent Keith thank you very much.
You are the master of pure determination...are you sure we are not related? As I have aged, I have learned to do the very best I can, with what I have to work with and you have certainly done that with this old guitar. Following shodie work is a hard pill to swallow. Though you may not have gotten all your shop time, you have some great new tools, learned some lessons that will spread across many instruments to follow. We have to think positive about these episodes!?! In the end you will be the reason that this great sounding old baby is back on the road! The word of your prowess as Master Repairer will spread! Great job!!!
BarbedStar thank you very much for the kind words. I really do appreciate it.
Amazing job! Can't believe you got all those braces glued back down without removing the back!
Gerry Thompson it was a fun one. Thank you for watching.
I'd say, you sir are a dying breed. Patience of Job even. I would shake your hand and would gladly call you friend! I own a 1950 Gibson j50 that belonged to my grandpa. He proudly pounded the heck out of it. So Ronny Griffin in Waycross Ga. did me proud and fixed er up for me. It will go to one of the family after I'm gone. Keep puttin em back together sir, you do us proud!
That was one tough repair. On the bright side you made some nifty tools for future jobs. Thanks for sharing.
TREYSONZ yes sir. That is exactly how I look at it. Thank you very much for watching.
Craftsman at work. Love to see you're keeping it alive.
GT Sipe thank you very kindly.
Wow, that was an arduous repair. I think we can all safely say that the correct repair would have been to remove the back and fix it properly, but it was one of those situations where the budget wasn’t there to do it. I think there are a couple things that we can all take away from this video series. First, is to truly inspect an instrument before starting work, and expect the unexpected. If those brace issues had been noticed early, would have been easy to go back to the customer and say “look, .... this is what the guitar really needs”. Secondly, is your persistence and ingenuity given the situation at hand. You are truly an out of the box thinker, and we can all learn from that.
Now I know the trouble Jeff Hostetter had with my 1958 J45 he restored for me. A lot of the same issues including new bridge, new, tuners, two large top cracks and several loose top and bottom braces. I thought about tossing her in a dumpster a few times when I was young. Jeff said he sure glad I didn’t. More then 30 years she sat in her case. Hauled her cross country twice. Man oh man she sounds warm and deep.
Your patience is astounding!
Spencer Harris thank you it was a tough one.
Jerry, I dont think I've ever! I mean EVER!! Seen you so thoughtful and flummoxed as when you discovered that nearly all the braces needed attention.
Wow!
The frustration you experienced with this job made me frustrated. Your ingenuity is admirable to say the least.
WOW! Arthroscopic guitar surgery! And you created a whole series of new and exciting tools with which to accomplish your tasks. GO, Jerry!
Your persistence and creativity with what we call redneck engineering continues to amaze! Sometimes I wonder if pulling the top would speed up the process and I know that you have been asked why you don’t do that more often. Since I don’t know what is involved I’m hoping you might, if the occasion arose, show us a top removal and possibly discuss the time and economics pros and cons of taking the lid off. Thanks again for all the instruction and peaceful entertainment.
I've been binging on RSW vids since yesterday 👍 thank you for sharing these with us, Jerry! With enough sense, you can, actually learn quite a lot from them. I know I have. Thanks again 🙏
Really enjoy these long videos where you work thru problems and try to find the best inflection point between economy and soundness. Not everything is alchemy - sometimes it's basic and requires sandpaper and a coping saw. Thanks again !
Andrew St Pierre thank you very much I appreciate your watching and your kind comments
Another great video and another great guitar saved. You sir have infinite patience. Great job and the guitar sounds real good.
Great job! Very impressive problem solving...and you had far more of your share of problems to solve than you deserved! I would have run out of talent and patience about 5 minutes after opening the box. -Bill
Starliner428 thank you. You are very kind. I really appreciate your watching.
You can make a mirror that folds up - You insert into the hole then unfold - It will lay on the bottom and give a large view.
You can get a string of led lights to insert inside. Bigger, steady view and light with both hands free.
Get er done :)
jake legg might work thanks.
Wow what an unbelievable ordeal you went through to get this old Gibson back together. Great job! Most people would have given up on those loose, botched braces, you are Superman 😊
Jerry, you are persistent and artistic! I have learned so much from you! I think you are a genius!
Jerry, I already invented your reverse clamp. I drive truck for a living and part of my daily routine is a pre-trip inspection. Part of that inspection is measuring the stroke of the brake pushrods, so I use a long clamp, reversed as you use. The long part of the bar goes down to the brake pedal and the adjustable end wedges under the steering wheel. When I pump the clamp it expands and holds the brake pedal down so I can leave the cab, listen for air leaks, and check the stroke of the brake chambers.
Great job, great video. I have an exact duplicate of that Gibson of that J-45 with a W factory order number indicating it is a 1955. My dad bought it new and it has never left the family. Dad gave me both of his Gibsons before he died a decade back.
They are definitely a treasure. Thanks for watching.
Jerry need more videos your a good teacher I wach 2 ta 3 at a time when im loading and droping and one a night before bed time .. thanks Bud cheers
Well there's over 400 of them out there already.
You are amazing! You just don't give up. Isn't it always true that the "baby" who costs you the most work, worry and anguish is the one you love the most in the end. Well done you!
Can't believe you got it back to playing condition, would be very happy with this one in my Guitar room.
Ohh boy Jerry, you realy dont give up easy. Chapeau!!!
Great job and many thanks for recording it all for us. Cheers from 🇨🇦!
Wow what patience if it were my guitar i would be proud to own it
Having owned four new Martins in my life plus several others (Gibson, Ovation, Takamine, Yamaha, and even a 12-string Framus), a video like this almost makes me want a good old worn and torn restored beat-up guitar, one with all the love bites like the one in this video. They always have so much character and more personality than the newer ones. I know they're out there, but they're way expensive. Keep up the great work, you're a Master.
Great video! Nice Job and great playing at the end!
Wow... very impressed! Admire your ingenuity and tenaciousness!
This was one of my favorite ones! Great stuff Jerry!
Impressive patience you have Jerry .thanks for sharing and Thank you .
What a great job ! You are a great worker.
Amazing patience and persistence.
Amazing ! Back from the junkyard hard to know how all these hundreds of years guitar players ever had something to play with as all the parts involved in the instrument to play .
I enjoy your videos, easy to listen to and watch, this repair was incredible, I think many would have given up or pulled the back off or some such, I'm pretty much floored by how sweet that ol' guitar sounds, its very happy to have met ya! :)
Oh my goodness! You are indeed, a master fabricator as well as master craftsman! Just incredible!...I hope you have a tall cold beer ready in the fridge after that one! I don't drink but I could use a cold one after just watching all you had to do!! incredible job Jerry!
Now that was a tussle Jerry , great video, Thank!!!
Jerry after watching this repair I'm convinced you are in fact Superman....most mortal men would have given up.......
You are the most resourceful man I have ever seen ! The clamp idea needs to be patented my friend . Sorry so many obstacles on this job , but you just the man for this old gal.
Robert Easley Sr thank you very much. I appreciate the nice words.
This video is the proof of prior art so no patent needed.
Unless there already exist a patent.
Magnus Johansson thanks
Already exist on the bigger versions for maybe 10 years or longer
Great work saving the instrument and getting it to play so well.
I very much enjoyed your music you added to this job. Your videos are better than any I’ve seen.
That was brutal! Great work and thanks for showing so much of your effort.
Dan Lampton thank you very much. I appreciate your watching
From one Missouri boy to another, these are among the best music-related videos I've seen. Your love of music really comes through in your work.
Great work! I’m considering getting into this as a hobby/side job. Lots of great tricks in these vids!
Wow You win the persistence award for sure. Great job sir.
Above and beyond with excellent results! Inspiring work, Jerry.
Scott Reeves thank you very kindly sir.
I am totally loving your videos - Wow the patience, dedication and ingenuity is such a treat to watch and the end when it all comes together with a song is just perfect. Thank you for videos!!
+Kinsley Khoo thank you very much.
grrrrreat job Jerry .. would love to hear the stories that old guitar could tell ... glad I got to see your part in it's rebirth ... God Bless
Chip Wood thank you very kindly friend.
Swell job, well done, thank you for the series. So much info that any guitar owner should soak up, again thank you.
Thanks for all the great videos, insights, and tricks Jerry. God bless.
Gee Mac72 you are very welcome. Thank you very kindly for the note.
You really earned your money with this one. The guitar sounded really good after your work on it.
I have an older 12 string Rickenbacker and I always complained about how difficult it was to change the strings. Never again. After watching this video I tip my hat to you, your talent, your persistence.
Man!! After all that and you still had enough left in you to give us a bonus song! Thanx so much Jerry for sharing your skills with us.
Ronald Bussell thank you Ronald. I don't know how much of a bonus that was, but I appreciate your watching.
Whoa!!!!!!!!!!
Some repair that. Salute your never-say-die spirit.
Great job, compadre!
amit newton thank you my friend!
at 51:00 what I thought earlier seemed like it might have worked--a smaller profile blade attached to your finger (mesh fingertip, taped to the finger, or, crazy, but crazy glued!!). But thanks --these videos are instructive as riveting-- watched both Regal repair videos. Let's just hope that deer antler doesn't "buck up" in the saddle!
embwee ha, ha. I see what you did there. Thanks for watching.
Man that was a hard one.I like how you adjust to whatever problem comes your way ,& you get the job done.Great work Jerry.Great demo of the old girl.she sounds great.I really enjoyed your singing too.
Stephen Quail thanks so much glad you're watching.
Stephen Quail one more thing... I'll pitch in for your new hearing aid (regarding my singing) lol... thanks.
another fascinating repair i really love this, the detail you put into your repairs is amazing, just shows your skill level, i have thoroughly enjoyed this video, thank you jerry. peace and love to you and yours from bonny Scotland. Andy.
Andrew Reynolds thank you very much Andy.
Funny you mentioned surgery in this video.
All I can say is you are the Dr. Ben Casey of guitars!
Or for today's generation, the Dr. Gregory House of guitars.
Words cannot describe what a splendid job you have done.
You are one in billion Mr. Rosa and I take my hat off to you once again. There is no one like you.
As I was watching you glue that brace , I was trying to tell you through the computer to flip a clamp and use it to push instead of clamp ! and BAM you did it ! must of heard me lol ! I came up with that myself several years ago and have used em several times . Love your stream , keep it up
Jerry you are awesome and very creative and Patience. My dad had a 1950's Gibson with crack down middle that he gave to my cousin. I sent him your repair video to check you out. Thanks for the time you put in to help us repair and understand guitar repairing. I have an Alvarze that needs a bridge repair and I will use your approach and process to the repair. Sharing you skills and experience with us on Utube is INVALUABLE! Thanks again Corky
Koopey's Garage you are welcome. Thanks for watching.
WOW...what a job! Holy cow....Thank god it's over. Great effort and done extremely well.
I love the old LG-2s. I have a '45 that's hard to put down. My dad taught me to not give up and to innovate when working on things, and that has helped me in many a guitar repair. I recently removed the back of an old requinto guitar to address severe brace and top issues because it had a tiny sound hole. I decided to temporarily install a dowel rod between the end and neck blocks to maintain the neck angle while the back was off. It worked quite well. Thanks for another inspiring video.
Wish i had your patience.. Great work! Keep doing good job, it is worth to be precise..
WikeedOne thank you so much.
Great video - I learned that skills are required but not sufficient, tenacity and perseverance are also essential!
Cheers, John
Zone1242 thank you very kindly.
Love how you talk about the old girl and she has more stories to tell, great job !
Eugene Eaton thank you my friend.
That's passion for your work!!! those claps were even driving me insane!!! :P
Guillermo Molina thank you my friend. Glad you're still watching.
Well, i know you are a master, but this again is a masterpiece at it's best. What a patience!
micheloderso thank you very kindly my friend.
You have the patience of Job, I’m impressed. I bet your a great dad, Grand dad? And husband. I’m 58 and have found patience helps in pretty all aspects of life. Especially in your great instrument work. I enjoy your videos, keep up the good work!
You did a fantastic job coming up with custom tools and doing whatever it took to get the old Gibson restored. I can only imagine what it is like to be working through a small soundhole and almost blindly to get it done. The guitar now looks and sounds great.
Dale Palmer thank you very kindly Dale. I appreciate your continued viewing.
Very nice work.
Magnus Johansson thank you very much my friend
Good Ol' Merle at the end. lol. Great job on this one Mr. Jerry. I cant believe you got it to look that good, compared to how it looked when you got it. Really am enjoying these videos.
Bryan Wayne thank you very kindly my friend.
Terry, I figured out to attach a hacksaw or or small wood saw blade to the razor blade or wire before you did it. You are really getting me into this repair work. Enjoying your frustration too as an ex-electronic Air Force repairman myself. HA!HA!
Hi Jerry... No coincidence you wore Batman and Superman shirts on this repair job. I think the benefits to jobs like this are the challenges and the solutions you come up with to persevere. It makes you better. Cutting the back off would have been the easy way out and taken away value. You Sir, are a Master.
I have a little tip for you can't believe i'm giving you a tip but as much as I have learned from you I hope this will help. You may already know about this but if your ever out of two sided tape you can use regular masking tape and super glue to hold two pieces together temporarily by putting the tape on one surface and tape on the other with a small sting of super glue and it will hold it together and when you are through it is real easy to get it apart. I have planed material this way it it holds real good literally can't pull the pieces apart but when you are through the masking tape comes off real easy. Hope I didn't confuse you, hope it helps.
Thank you. Yeah I've heard of that quite a bit. I've never actually tried it.
I don't know what to say that hasn't already been said in all these comments. Thank you so much for sharing. Rich
Great minds think alike, the first thought I had when that second back brace broke off was you need to make a reverse chisel. Love your work so far. When you have to work backwards, dyslexia might be a real asset lol. being double jointed might help too. I have a saw like you cut up to make yours out of and they have no kerf. I little Johnson's paste wax on each side of the blade helps to keep it from binding. You have the main ingredient of a great instrument repairman, your persistent. To be successful at your business, you can't give up and you have to get creative most of the time. I love watching you work. By the way, I build string instruments and do a few repairs for friends, but not professionally.
that guitar sounds so sweet now - definitely worth the effort
by the way, CA glue makes a great filler for fretboard divots
Thank you very much.
Hi Jerry very inpressed by your work,about a month ago i got a Everly brothers guitar hand made. Dident notice at first but the high E string was buzzing after the 12fret no ajustment on the trussrod would work, so to like you i wasent beat i put a shim under the saddle then ajustest the truss rod happy days
That is a great job. 👍
Wow Jerry!!you are Superman!! great job i feel for you turned out great persovaince and thinking outside the box.Cheers!!
blkjckgtrnut thank you very much.
