Well done! You & I differ on stringing .. 😂 .. but we can still be friends. Cheers!
Lovely to see. Just such a craft and a beautiful guitar, worth looking after.
We have a 2007 Gibson Hummingbird number 163 sitting right here on the bed with us, yours is 0-164-7, the really strange thing is we just bought it today!
That is pretty cool!

Are you located right in Manotick?
My wife and I have a small handful of guitars and definitely wanna give any future work to you partly because we've learned a ton from watching you work!
(also, I asked you about reshaping the baseball bat neck of a PRS s2, a couple months ago, but fortunately I was able to sell it and buy the Hummingbird but thank you for your kind response, that would've made a great video had I kept it)
@@RobAndKim444 yup...I am I Manotick
nice little tool to sort out that jack. great idea.
Saw something similar in the stewmac catalog a while ago so I made one
I subscribed to your channel. Really interesting and enjoyable set-up on the guitar. Greetings from Hollywood California. Happy New Year 2022!
Thanks, Jose - I am glad you enjoy my videos!
Nice job. In addition to that pick in the body I think I saw a capo in there too.
The capo was mine 🤪
I’ve been benging your videos! So I re string my guitar pretty much the same way you do it, but the guy who taught me many years ago showed me this and I use it to this day and it seems to work great.
Insert the string into the post and pull it tightly.
From the nut pull back the string about 1 and a half frets. Do this method for the Low E A and D string for the high strings do the same thing but pull the string from the nut 2 and a half frets. Then Start your wraps.
I’m always left with about 3 wraps on the bass strings and like 5 or 6 on the high strings. I hopes this make sense thank you for the good content
Thanks for the tip, Sean! I hope you have subscribed to my channel?
Good idea, I’ve always used the pegs as a guide
Hello, I have a question. What type of output Jack did you buy to replace the old one? I have a 2005 Gibson Hummingbird and the Jack is shorting and sometime the cable isn’t plugging into the Jack. Thinking need to replace the output Jack but don’t know what to buy. Thank you for any recommendations.
Hi, Mark. I didn't replace the output jack, just tightened it up. I hope you have subscribed to my channel?
Sorry Bud but I don't set up an appointment to play my guitar. It's there all the time and I play it throughout the day. That is what I bought it for, not as a thing to be brought out of the safe on special occasion and shown off, then taken to a luthier so he can make a little money on its "service".
Good Video did you tighten those loose tuning pegs up?
Always check them before leaving the shop
Hey Steve..I had no idea.!
Lol
I enjoyed the video! I just picked up this guitar used for a great price. Appears to not even ever really played. However, the pick guard is coming up in a couple places on the corners. Do you have suggestions on how to adhere the corners down?
Timothy, CA glue works well but be careful where you apply it... just a small amount and mask off the guitar around the pickguard. I hope you are subscribed to my channel?
@@ManotickGuitarTech Cyanoacrylate Adhesive? Do you think this is the same type that was originally used?
@@bikebum2006 In a factory setting they would have probably used a spray adhesive or an adhesive film
Hi, when you changed the strings I noticed you weren’t pulling up when you seated the pin. What is the correct way of doing it. On my last string change I seated the pin 3/4s of the way in, then gave a gentle tug on the string while pushing the pin the rest of the way in. Is that ok. I’m a newbie to guitar and have been slightly traumatised when during my first ever string change on my first guitar one of them snapped when tuning up and exploded the bridge plate rendering the guitar unplayable. It was a cheap Yanaha 310 though and when I took a pic of the bridge plate it looked flimsy and not fit for purpose.
Paul, I bend the ball end of the string and then use the bridge pin to push it down into the hole. Then when I tighten the string, I make sure the pin doesn't pop out periodically. Never have an issue that way.
Paul I hope you have subscribed to my channel?😁
Watch at the 10:00 mark of the video for a demonstration.
I have indeed subscribed, thanks for your timely reply.
Nice video… What strings did you put on, and why, 80/20 or phosphor bronze?
The client provided the strings they like to use
LOL. You need to work on your stringing….
