- Hello People!
Thanks for joining me for more guitar restoration videos! Gibson L-00 gets some cracks glued, cleats installed, new frets, nut, saddle and tuners. Phew!
Cheers,

It sounds so much better after your restoration. Sure enjoy watching your techniques.
Thanks very much Scott,
I got home and played this for about 3 hours. Amazing job on the aesthetic look, but even greater kudos on tightening everything up and the intonation up the fretboard is spot on. Beautiful job.
My grandfather on my mother's side gave this to my Mom for her birthday upon return from WWII. It's definitely staying in the family, and I'm passing it on to my son, who is also in the Army.
These guitars were built by women Luthiers during the war effort, and if you want a good book to read, check out "The Kalamazoo Gals" by John Thomas.
Truly appreciate the beautiful work. 👍👍
Thank You for the opportunity 🙏
Yee-hah!! Another great resto-video. Amazing!
Sounds and looks great 👍
Yay, thank you!
I get how some would never want to replace anything on a vintage guitar, because of value. But for me, it's about playability. My Kluson tuners has a bent G string winder. Yes, it still functions but I wanted straight tuners. So I purchased a new set of Kluson double line tuners and kept the old ones.
I also created a tight fitting plug for the adjustable saddle, out of Brazilian rosewood, to make it a non adjustable..lol.. But didn't glue it in, in case we wanted to revert back.
Great video. I always love your content.
Fantastic! 👍🏻
Nice tune at the end Scott. Tight lines from England ,Ipswich Town now Premier League! ❤
Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful repair work as always; you are a man of many talents, my dear sir. I know your forte is Rock playing but you’re fantastic with your fingerpicking as well!
Thank you very much!
Hi Scotty, amazing restoration on this old beautiful Gibson 43 L-00. Everything was precisely repaired. : you're a great and amazing luthier ! This guitar is worth the hype and deserved such an outstanding revival only made by the best luthier in the USA ! See you next video !
Many thanks!
Wow im almost speechless on your attention to detail and processes just Outstanding work !!! Scotty its pretty much a Luthiers rule that you dont critique other Luthiers work (at least it is to me ) and I would never do that to you and dont think anyone with this type of skillset would either ,everyone has thier own ways they do things ,im looking for the group now you mentioned
You said FOLKWAY, Waterloo Canada. I've been there, incredible acoustics there. I bought a 72 335.
Beautiful work as always. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
My pleasure 😊
He's the LOOTHSAYER nice stuff Sir !
Amazing. Just picked up my 1943 L-00 that I rescued from the trash. She plays nice but needs a neck reset.
Looking good sounding good 👍
Right on
Another great job. I love that you don't "over restore" these old beauties. Just enough to make them healthy and playable into the future while keeping their earned scars and patina.
Much appreciated! 😃
That’s a sweet little Gibson. Nice work! ACCELERATOR!!
Outtasight my guitar guru friend. I love the old ones, especially when they have been restored by a guitar artist like yourself. I won't forget that rick about gluing down older guitar cracks that have curled at the edges.
Awesome Taj Mahal at the end there
TAJ! Thank You
great video
Thanks for the visit
Sounds great.
Great repair work. I wouldn't say it sounds louder (could be recording parameters) but it certainly sounds more alive with better sustain and string definition.
Thanks!
Scotty D how you B! Enjoy watching you work my man and yer antics!!
Much appreciated
Morning looth fans!
Good morning to you from VA...
Enjoyed both vid's, but my one Q is, did you lower the action by any other method other than lowering the saddle, and if so what were the final height measurements? Cheers!
Thank You!
Three things brought the action down: new saddle
Neck straightening and taller frets.
Final measurement was about 3/32” (2.5mm)
