    3 years later, I still receive wonderful commentary/education and know you likely will not see this comment. I don't care. Great video to compliment breakfast before this old guy rushes to... my job as a retired maker at a local small town hardware store. Many of us play guitar, some wealthy, some poor, some collectors, some luthierie school graduates with their own repair business.
    Thanks for your work and valuable content!

      I've spent the last twenty years only repairing my own guitars. Of course, I have owned around 40 or 50 of them and as soon as I repaired one I sold it and bought another one in some flea market or garage sale to go to the end of the line and wait it's turn. I worked up from student Stellas to plywood campers to solid wood Harmonys and Yamahas. I'm now down to fewer than 10 with a couple of decent parlours to challenge my final skill level.

      @Nunya Bidnez I usually end up selling mine to fellow musicians/ acquaintances. I play in several groups so generally have lots of people around needing a second or camping guitar. I also managed to trade one once for some car repair work. The down side is I always gave a "lifetime" warranty with mine so end up getting to repair them several times for free. I think I reset the neck 3 times on one of my Harmony Sovereign rebraces! I've also given them to kids and grandkids. I usually forestall anyone asking me to work on one of their guitars by saying you will have to sell it to me as I only work on my own guitars!

    Finding it difficult to resist a “nut that gleams” joke. Bust seriously, great video; learned several new things on this one. The D-18 is, in my opinion, the perfect dreadnaught guitar. They play/sound amazing and don’t have all the unneeded flashiness (pearloid / abalone inlays, gold tuners, etc) on the more expensive Martins. I have a 2016 D-18E Retro that I dearly love. Really great guitar.

  • @FreeSpeechWarrior
    @FreeSpeechWarrior 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Tim, the idea of a vintage guitar actually does go back further than 40 years ago. When I was in high school in the seventies, a friend of mine owned several Martin guitars. His parents could afford anything he wanted. He knew back then that Martin guitars were the best that money could buy. He knew that because Martin had a reputation at that point. So I think even then if you had an older Martin guitar it was considered a classic or vintage.

    Excellent presentation. I learned, early in the game, having repaired at Gruhn's and Pickers Supply for a few years, a repairman's bread and butter is a Martin guitar. Glued on necks (resets could have bought me a new Cadillac), No truss rod (ouch!), poor intonation, braces way too big (loved to see the grins on owners after a scalloping session). Yellow glue (bridges coming up when heated in the trunk of a car). And those lovely pickguards cracking and caving in the top. Yep, Martins were a love/hate affair for repairmen and owners. Gibson and later Taylor and then finally Martin itself, improved some of these flaws. Of course the musicians were not as critical or savvy as today. And their choices were much more limited. My two somewhat interesting Martin related stories are when Manny Uminof (sp) came up to Toronto from New York to show us how to do a neck set in 1971. His technique; "pop" open the back at the neck block and tuck the sides in a bit and trim. Usually resulted in a mess! About that time Martin's official response concerning resetting a neck was, "Martin guitars never need a neck reset". Oh, dear.... We've come a long way, baby... Love your work and knowledge level...

    I used to own a D18 from 1963 I went silly in the early 80s and sold it. I regretted that bit of stupidity right up to buying my Collings D1! Anyway, that old Martin had that rounded headstock you were talking about. I kinda like that look and I’m not so fond of the more modern sharp angles that get easily chipped. I own a couple of late seventies Martins and even those the headstock corners are fairly rounded. I’m in Australia; Jeff Malia does any of my needed luthier work. I’m curious as to wether you know of him. He’s a bit of a legend here, does fantastic work same as you.

    Another thing that would drive me nuts about the pickguard is the soundhole cutout doesn't match the rosette radius.

    Ted, you make a real good point, about cutting the
    fretboard at the 12th fret, for a neck reset. (IF necessary)
    After someone learns to cut at the 14th, they would continue
    that way, without ever thinking about it.
