I would have bet that you could not make that repair look that good. Excellent job. Puts my work to shame. Keep doing it though, because watching you do great work, that keeps me setting my bar higher. When I see it is possible, that makes me want to try a lot harder.
This was an amazing repair. Excellent job Scott I never am unimpressed by what you’re able to accomplish you are truly gifted. I’ve watched all your videos, some twice.
Beautiful repair- you do very nice work. It’s fun to watch a craftsman who knows what they’re doing and who settles for nothing less than the best they can do. Keep up the videos brother.
Hi Dr. Scott 😻I absolutely loved watching you work through this patient! Getting the crushed top to come together the way you did was a true test of patience and craftsmanship. Your finish work is nothing short of miraculous. I am particularly impressed with your attention to detail and color matching techniques. Its sheer wizardry I tell you😁 Loved hearing Mother Goose 🦆, one of my personal Jethro Tull favorites. Well done, sir!
@@harpethguitar What would cause the bridge to sink like that? Whoops, I just saw that you already answered that….with the “soft batch of metal”….so the adjustable hardware, nothing to do with the wooden bridge itself….
Really well done. I have a Bourgeois OM that fell off the wall in a shop and ended up with similar damage. Someone did a great repair job that is solid and lasting. I got the guitar used and cheap because of the damage and it is my favorite acoustic of all time. Love it. I'm curious - did you put any cleats in?
Fantastic repair. I wish I could refinish to that standard. Just curious as to how much you would charge for this repair, it must have taken hours and hours.......
I do basic repairs and set ups on guitars and charge nowhere near enough. The refinishing is the part I dread, as that is what people see rather than the work that goes into the actual repair. Last big one (small instrument) was a restoration on a 1880 mandolin. Full top off, neck off, brace and binding replacement and re shellac.
How long does it take to do this repair? I ask because I keep hearing people say a couple weeks. Is that realistic since I'm sure this isn't the only repair.
Hi Scotty, what an amazing repair, clever and very well made ! The owner has been lucky so far ! Bravo Doctor Scotty !
Lucky is right. Lucky to have found Scotty to fix it, Fantastic repair vids??? Beam them up Scotty. 👍
Nice!

Thank you 🙏
Mother Goose !!!!!!! I can't believe I heard someone doing JethroTull ...nice choice , great repair.
DAYAM…nice work Sir…!!!
Thank You 😊
Liked the cameo from Ian and Ted in the background. 😂. Great work Scotty
Yes, but why?
Nice Work!
Thank You 😊 I couldn’t have done it without your help
Amazing work!! You're a wizard with finishes. It was funny coming from one of Ted's videos to this one only to hear his voice again lol.
This is absolutely amazing work. I would have thought that this guitar was ruined for looking good again but wow....
Very nice job! I didn't think there was much hope for that guitar.

Wow, thanks!

Thank you kindly Sir Vaden K
Scotty, it's virtually disappeared, you can just about see something when light hits it, but that could be an illusion? Fantastic repair!

Thanks A Lot! Love me some Tull
Nice work! I think I heard "Mother Goose" at the end? Good choice.
Very nice repair ,I will watch again just found your channel and subbed !!
Thanks Joe!
Beautiful guitar, horrible bridge, not sure what Gibson was thinking. As for the repair, one word, masterful!
Thank You Pablo 😊
very nice work!
That looks amazing!
You did a great job on that one.
Great repair
Nice phone stand! A usb outlet and a 4 inchs cable and we have version 2.0😊
Good job mate. BTW, did anyone tell you that you sound like Bob Ross the painter. Calming narrative whilst producing a work of art. Well done !
Great repair. Does that guitar have one of the infamous plastic bridges?
Thanks Robert! It has a wooden bridge

Amazing repair my man just curious how much you charge for a repair like that I have a Martin that has very similar damage
Thank You 🙏 $700-$900 perhaps

I put 2 pieces of .5mm veneer on the inside. The same shape as the MDF caul. Thanks for tuning in!
It would be interesting to know the work hours on that and the drying hours and the cost. Can't have been cheap
Thanks Steve!
20-25 hours $800 -ish
Fantastic repair. I wish I could refinish to that standard. Just curious as to how much you would charge for this repair, it must have taken hours and hours.......

I can’t remember how much I changed. Certainly it wasn’t enough!

Many many weeks
What is that noise in the background?

Shellaquer won't kill anybody? Bullsh!t! Shellaquer tried to pull a gun on me yesterday! In all seriousness, a great repair!
