Please keep making these longer videos. They are awesome!
Will do! Thanks for the feedback.
yup!
I learn something from every one, we might be a small audience, but we buy stuff from you guys, teach us!
agreed
Saving the copper was such a nice thing to do for Dan. What a good dude.
Tom Hanks can play Gene in the movie!
This is THE best content on TH-cam. Dan's videos should be preserved on every medium possible, multiplied countless times and then buried all over the planet to age like wine for future generations to dig up and honor.
funny i was thinking the same thing
He's a legend.
Uncle doug
It's not easy to share a stage with Dan Erlewine, but Gene was a great co-star. He let's me sit here and nod along like we're doing it together. Look at us, we repaired a bunch of PAFs!
🤣 Right!
Wonderful restoration project and so well documented. Thanks Dan and Gene!
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching!
Dan is a national treasure. Love his videos. Guitar hall of fame.
I love that during the headstock touch-up, Dan - as he always does - gives credit to Frank Ford and Chelsea Clark for the techniques he employs. Gene's rewind was incredible. And relicing pots is a new one to me! So much care and attention to detail, but I suppose that's nothing new from Dan and Gene. Bravo!
Such a joy to see Dan happy and reunited to his old friend! Makes me happy too! Long live, Dan!
I'm only partway through this, it's epic! I love when you guys go into detail on one guitar, like this and the Willie Nelson guitar.
Thank you so much! Epic is a good word to describe this fix 😅
I go back and watch those videos periodically. It's fascinating. The ones on Mike Bloomfield’s telecaster, too.
@@MidtownSkyport It's also cool that there are videos of guys playing the Bloomfield tele after all the repair work done here. I especially like the video where G.E. Smith plays it and talks about its history.
My jaw is on the floor, the level of detail especially in terms of relicing is insane. The section on restoring the PAFs should be required viewing for anyone interested in learning about pickups especially if you are into winding or restoring them. Thanks for an amazing video!
Watching a couple of pros at work, doesn’t get much better than this!
Thanks to Al for keeping your girl safe for all those years. That’s a friend. RIP Al
Anything with Dan in it is a hit!! So glad he's got his guitar back and playing again!
Many congratulations Dan on the return of your beautiful 335. I can imagine how it must feel to have the old girl back and playing again. 🎉
That's it. Gotta be my favorite vid of 2023. Seeing him save that PAF was just unbelievable! Way to freakin' go! 😍😲👌
It is so satisfying to hear this work of art, and you all know this took 50 years off Dan's soul to be reunited. Like a kid in a candy store!
Two absolute masters of their arts
Gene's attention to detail is genuinely astounding. Wow.
Thank you so much ! I absolutelly love every second with Dan ! we need more !
Congratulations on the successful reunion. What a beautiful journey. Thank you for sharing.
Dan Erlewine is probably one the best luthier's there's ever been. I believe he must be partially made of wood. and I mean that in a very good way. he has tought me so much over the years. and I have to thank him for that.
and him playing that blues diddy at the end. was the licing on the cake. thanks again Dan.
Congratulations, Dan! Great set of videos on this restoration. Fantastic job, everyone!
So pleased it all came together. What a great tutorial. Enjoy it!
Beautiful restoration and accompanying video! Thank you Dan for all that you have done over the years for us guitar repair nerds, love it!
FANTASTIC job bringin her back to life guys!!!
Phenomenal job! Thoroughly enjoyed every second. Thank you for sharing!!
i’ve been waiting for this one. i cannot believe the amount of time and care put into this, but it definitely paid off. looks and sounds fantastic!
Amazing video! Loved every bit. And it was so cool to see the relic’ing techniques too. Thank you! Enjoy your guitar Dan.
What a lovely adventure this was! Thank you for taking us along for the ride!
Thanks for sharing your 335 with us ! Its truly a beautiful guitar i can see why you have the amount of love for it , that you do !
Keep rockin guys
Just have to love it when a guitar comes back home. No matter what the condition is. The joy of having it your hands once again. Being a world renown Luthier who can bring it back to life is a major plus for that precious instrument. A true synergy of good vibes. Excellent video, Dan and Gene and Stew Mac team.
yessss glad for a part two. Amazing work as always.
The longer videos are GREAT. I've learned almost everything I know about working on guitars from Dan's videos, and he even answered one of my questions personally. I'm also a happy StewMac customer.
So glad you like them! Thanks for watching, asking questions, and supporting StewMac!
Oh man. Been waiting for this video for a hot minute. Always good to relive some good history
I love the integrity and dedication in your work. Always a treat to watch,
Beautiful work and wonderful story telling as well. Congrats Dan on the new old guitar and tribute to your friend.

Good for you, Dan! Beautiful work Dan and Gene to restore a real beauty! Your videos through the years have been so helpful to me personally. Sincere thanks!
I really enjoyed this. Thanks for documenting it and sharing it with us.
Great production you guys; educational and entertaining at the same time. Thank you.
It’s better than Netflix
Brilliant restoration and what’s even better was the full circle moment for Dan. Warm and wonderful vibes from start to finish! Thankyou is not enough in this instance. God bless 🙏
Love watching you guys geek out
This was so enjoyable to watch and informative. Thank you guys so much! The jam at the end was pretty cool!
Congrats Dan !! I'm glad you have your old 335 back, enjoy reliving those memories. ✌
Absolutely the perfect content for me. This reasoned out relaxed and yet painstaking work was captured wonderfully. Thank you!
Great video and even better story of a 57 year journey back into Dan’s possession. Well done to all involved in making it.
Dan's "blues face" was the cherry on top!
This was such an awesome video. Props to Dan and Gene for such a wicked restoration. Cool touch with the old knobs being from one of Mike Bloomfields guitars. Thanks for the great video guys! Well done
Thank you for this. Dan looks like a kid with that 335. It’s perfect
Thank you for the share! Painstaking is the proper word for that pickup work. Thank you both for a lovely vid!!!
I was so excited to see the second video for this.
This turned out so well, and enjoyed the longer video. I know it probably is a lot more editing and effort, but it’s so great.
I've enjoyed and learned from your videos for years, this is one of the best as it covers so many different areas of restoration/repair and the personal story behind the instrument puts the icing on the cake. Thanks very much for this, looking forward to more.
I really enjoyed watching this journey. What a feeling it must be to get that guitar back to almost original state, and such great workmanship from you guys. I love these kind of videos. Cheers!
Been waiting for this video.
So satisfying to watch it being restored.
Great work guys! We're with you!
This was a lot of fun for a guitar nerd like me! Thanks Dan and Gene! great relicing work as well!
Wow! You guys are both artists! That's an amazing restoration!
Amazing! Such a great job by both of you and what a story.
I massively appreciate the passion, skill, and attention to detail shown in this video. But I love love LOVE the joy and pure stoke of you guys jamming at the end. That’s why we geek out about guitar, right everyone? the joy!
The attention to detail is fantastic to see here. Such care taken at every step, even relicing the pots!
❤ this warmed my heart to watch. Thanks so much for the time and effort in producing this video, and I am soooo happy that you were reunited with your old for neck!
Best guitar repair video I've ever seen, thank you Dan and Gene!
Absolutely Amazing! What a wonderful blessing. Congratulations!!!
look at all the love that went into fixing her up ♥️
I loved this. So informative, so crazy to have spent the time to relic the pots. !!!
Congrats, Dan! Sounds and looks killer! Awesome video. Enjoyed seeing your guitar come back to life.
Watching this video was such a treat! I love knowing this guitar was brought back to life and looks and sounds absolutely amazing! Great video! 😊
What a truly AWSOME success. Congratulations. What total pros you both are. Love love love it!
I have watched hundreds if not thousands of guitar vids. This is the best and my fave. Awesome
High praise! Thank you!
The Video everyone here has been waiting for ;-)
WOW what a education!!! How fun was that? Thank you both so much 💜 love you all Bill.
So sweet to see that beautiful guitar back in his hands and what a labour of love literally well done fantastic result ❤️❤️❤️
Truly amazing project and craftsmen!
Fascinating video. Great to see so many of the interactions were adaptations arising from experience and imagination. Stuff you just don't find in a manual. Wonderful finesse and skill from masters of the art who are themselves artists in their own right in respecting the original finishes of the instruments. Thanks guys.
Awesome episode! Real workmanship!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful restoration journey. Bravo!
Many thanks!
The detail and expertise is amazing. Nice that Dan got to play his guitar once again.
I'm happy for Dan reuniting with an old lost friend. You could feel his energy after playing.
fantastic video! Seeing this guitar brought back to life was pure joy. It would be great to see an extended tone demo of it in another video!
A wonderful and sympathetic restoration of a great guitar, I love the picture of Dan as a young man.
Outstanding! Knocked it out of the park. Enjoy your new/old axe.
Beautiful craftsmanship! The PAF dig-down was fantastic!
The amount of work that went into this is very impressive
What a treat to watch! And what a lovely sounding 335!
I used to wind and rewind pups myself. Just to look how somebody else does it brings back a lot of memory of joy and frustration! The "stronger" magnets and the missing metal covers. I used to collect all little parts from vintage pups just like Gene. Must be a common desease among the pup winders! ;-) Good job! From the both of you!
Great Video!!! Loved seeing the whole process of this Guitar!!!
This is one of the coolest videos I’ve seen. You guys do such amazing work!
This work was absolutely crazy! Wow! 2 Magicians!
Thanks Wow what a great Restoration I like Dan's line on the Blues 😊😊
I've really been looking forward to this 2nd video. I foolishly sold my '59 ES-335 and will never see it again. This video helped me vicariously imagine getting it back again and remember how wonderful it sounded playing blues with my old band back when I was younger and the guitar was only 6 years old. Thanks!
thats really sweet. Thank you for sharing Dan!
I am not even a guitarist, and watching these videos just make my day... Informative, nerdy, peaceful, fun, and just simply day brightening! Thank you! 😊
This was fantastic. Makes me want to go back to school to learn how to restore old guitars. Sounds great too.
You guys are both amazing. Seriously impressive work, I love old ES 335s. A 58' is just a dream guitar. Excellent job. 👏👏👏
