Unlike those videos where a TH-camr trashes a guitar just to fix it up for a video, we have a major film maker trashing a guitar for a TH-cam video. Noice
I'll bet you they didn't even know what it was. They very likely just had this old guitar lying around or at a second-hand store for cheap and though "that will make a good prop" and thought nothing of it.
@@Laz7481 Yes, that is most likely the deal, to use what they can find easily. A little bit of conscientious consideration, given the amount of "Amerikana" this filmmaker has shared on film... would have been cool. But however there you go, L O L another one bites the dust and then returns! 🧟🎸
Exactly. I'm afraid the entire problem is, our average IQ is 100. People are not that smart! Only a handful is clever, and here we see what happens so often. A valuable very very old guitar is destroyed. Fools!
Imagine being this guitar. You're 100 years old. Somebody bought you when you were brand new and played you day in and day out for decades. It put wear into you, but you watched them age too. Then, one day, they died. You missed your person, and you sat in a storage shed for decades. Then, one day, you're sold. Huzzah! Except...wait...what are they doing? Why are they drilling holes into me?! Then, there you are, covered in garbage. 100 years old in some horrible themed bar for a forgettable movie. Bored strangers barely even gawk at you as you sit there covered in garbage. Then, the nightmare ends. The "experience" closes, and some resourceful contractor throws you in the back of their pickup on the last day. Then, after some months, you're shoved in a cardboard box. What indignities await you now? How could it possibly get any worse? You'd have happily gone to the incinerator years ago. You wake up in Canada. This hairy dude is taking all the screws out of you, fixing your aching neck, polishing your worn frets. Finally, you're plopped in a room. And there are other 100 year old guitars all around you. And there's a family and a dog. JFC this was corny. Why did I do this? Anyway, great job. Algo comment. Grow, channel, grow!
Thanks for the vids. As a fellow Canadian (not a) Luthier I have deep appreciation of others techniques. Like your friend Ted, I am a graduate of the Timeless Instruments School of Luthiery. Class of 2005
I’m really stoked I came across your channel. Love seeing the restoration of these guitars but I also wanted to say that your backing tracks with these guitars are great. At times they remind me of Loren Connors or even Durutti Column. Love the funny sound effects too lol
Nothing screams Cyberpunk quite like a bunch of ethernet cables, old PCBs and laptop heatsinks screwed and glued to an old classical guitar. At least its playable now. Maybe consider using a recording software like OBS instead of camera-screen-recording.
Yeah! I’m just getting my feet wet as far as making videos. I’ve never used any of this software before. I know how to screen cap, but haven’t figured out the audio too. I will look into OBS, thanks.
I can't even believe my eyes. I watched that guitar in it's messiest state for weeks on Ebay and wanted to buy it so badly to refurbish it. I even consulted an individual who refurbishes guitars and he said it would be a hell of a project. I have an old le domino, and I love it so much. I so wanted to rescue this poor antique guitar from it's destiny of winding up in a dump after being destroyed by a moron. I am soooo soooo sooo happy you bought it and brought it back to life! This really made my day! :-)
Man, Ted Woodford did me a solid recommending his viewers to your channel! I LOVE your content! My day is made, knowing you brought a guitar like this back to life :) I love that you left the holes on the sound board, but I would have glued up the neck if I was doing the project myself... but it's your guitar and I'm happy it's exactly what you want out of it haha nice catch saving this one from the cyberpunk thing
I honestly believe, on a well-fit neck reset, the glue is only a formality. I bet I could play it for a year without even the bolt in there. Anyway, I usually do resets with hot hide glue, of course.
This video gave me way too much confidence to go take my lifting bridge off my Takamine and reglue it myself. Especially considering I'm hopped up on painkillers for my back right now.
I'm appalled that anyone would do this, and not even well, to 95 year old guitar. However, it was worth it to be able to see you bring it back to life. Another great video. Thanks for sharing!
Doesn't surprise me it was "bubba'd" like this. It was probably sitting in a thrift store or pawn shop. The shop owners most likely weren't aware it had any collector's value, nor thought it was worth the effort saving it.
i'm in this weird mood today - that when i see something old - being restored to working condition - keeping it used and banged up - i have this lil' splash of melancholia wash over me. it feels so right
It’s a real shame they decided to deface such a historic guitar. Then again, I *am* partial to it because it was the sole model used to record one of my favorite albums.
Props departments for film and theatre…their whole schtick is achieving “acceptable” results with as little effort as manageable. But they also insist on thousands and thousands of unnecessary expenditures. Low quality, high price. The perfect formula.
Yeah, back when I first saw this guitar I was thinking, that's supposed to be steampunk? You keep using that word, I don't think you know what it means.
Ok people, enough hating on the Steampunks - I'm one myself, and I can tell you that the hack-job done to this guitar is NOT what Steampunk is or is about, nor is that even considered to fit with the aesthetics of the Steampunk style. That was random old laptop parts and broken circuit boards glued onto a guitar and a few bit of wire spaghetti thrown on for good measure. This is the kind of crap I see all day long on various "craft" selling websites, all made to make money from something they know, nor care nothing about, but see a way to make cash from crap they have in the garden shed. This was not a Steampunk Maker made item, this was a result of some set designer / prop maker doing a Google image search followed by somebody saying "oh, so that's what steampunk is...easy, I can make that from the crap in my parts bin! An easy day at work, yay!" I have see way too many lovely antique and retro items destroyed in a similar way - and the irony is that non of this "steampunked" work is bought by actual steampunks, because we tend to make our own stuff from scratch. It's usually "Artsy" types and interior decorators buying "quirky / niche pieces" for clients. For reference, Steampunk actually despises the modern "use once and throw-away" disposable nature of modern production methods, and actually celebrates the way things were made for quality and built to last during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. A 90-odd year old guitar is already considered to "steamy" enough with out reaching for the glitter-cogs glue... Well done for a sympathetic restoration on the old girl!
I love open d tuning! I wish all the teachers would teach it instead of open e, it's better for the the guitar's health, strings longevity and if you really need open e you can just capo the 2nd fret
I loved this, on every level- redeeming that poor defiled thing, your sense of humor (and nice to see the cheering children's chorus has graduated and gone home), and even the one practical tip this non-repair person can take away (saving tape). Love the end result, musically and aesthetically.
@@Notaluthier i know you might be busy but i would love some standalone recordings of this background music. It's perfectly minimalist and it feels like the type of thing I could de-stress to. You dont have to but personally I find your playing to be incredibly comforting :)
The 'Steampunk' makeover was an utter abomination and whomsoever committed this act of vandalism should be forever ashamed. I'm so glad you got hold of this lovely old guitar and gave her a new lease of life. Sounds lovely, may karma smile on you.
Initially I was intrigued by the Steampunk-aesthetic. Meanwhile, I tend to begrudge "artists" for tearing up real old things for their creations with little to no regard or interest in the function of real old technology.
as a newer builder of guitars (I don't consider myself a luthier) so I'm sure my opinion of this wouldn't matter much but i must say I think you did this guitar a great justice with the way you handled the restoration. I have never seen a Le Domino guitar before, and now your video has me wanting one to add to the collection. I tend to not comment on videos to much as I don't think the posters read them much, but I had to comment on this. I don't read comments very often either but I'm willing to bet you got some flak for what some people would call destroying a prop from a famous movie. well in my opinion the movie itself did a great injustice to this guitar, that move just happens to be one of the worst movies ever made. just ask Will Smith he regrets having anything to do with it till this day. Alas this was a movie prop made out of a guitar that still had something to say. you my friend gave it back it's beautiful voice. you did justice by it by putting it back in the condition it was in before some dummy not knowing what he was destroying (I'm guessing) got his grubby little hands on it. By not trying to upgrade and hide imperfections you have kept the 100 years old aesthetic. In my mind that's how it should look. just by looking at the use of fret board you can just imagine this thing being played in some juke joint down south in the 20s and 30s. man I'm in love with this guitar I got to get one lol my only hope is i can find one with as much wear on it baring the screw holes. great work man and if you ever give it away, I WANT IT. lol
@@Notaluthier what i do with a lot of my builds is go to my local guitar shop the owner gives me access to his back room of misfit parts and guitars. right now, I'm working a couple of strats and about to start a warlock bronze i got from him for $40.00 so you might want to try that a lot of these guitar shops have a back room of parts they would love to get rid of. it doesn't hurt to ask you might be surprised what you find
@@Notaluthier oh that is interesting. Perhaps use some sand paper rather than a file and see if it still sticks… you might be knocking ferrous material off the file. CC’s do have traces of iron in them, but mostly they are silicates and some carbon.
@@michaelvarney.yeah, I found it on the beach here in BC and though it ~presents~ convincingly as a meteorite, I know how unlikely it is. I’m also not terribly geologically literate on this coast. So it could be that it’s some weird result of subduction that I haven’t seen, being from Nova Scotia, a much older piece of rock
@@Notaluthier it would be cool to see it up close in a video some day. :) a cut cross section and some spit will pull out the characteristic nodules. You gonna get outside tonight and see the aurora since you are up there?
@@michaelvarney. last night was nothing like the previous! I need to bring this rock to someone to verify, I tried all the online research RE meteorites. I will try and get some useful photos or footage of it.
I can't watch the James Cameron part at the beginning. Can't bear the forced social decline. So unfortunately I don't understand how you became the new owner of this awesome guitar. Anyway. Great video, dude. Great find. Thanks for restoring and saving a part of history.
From the festering depths of the meth crisis to the glittering excesses of Hollywood, our hero rescues them all. Next you’ll have to find a bored and neglected middle class houseguitar that’s actually pretty good for its age but it’s just been overlooked 🙂
Bare in mind these things are often done to iconic things to destroy moral and leave you defeated buuuuuut it is a beautiful thing when their destruction can be reversed
Man, as a (I wouldn't say) neat freak I wouldn't touch that fingerboard with a 10 ft. pole xD I have similar grime on a guitar and I just leave it to die. No point in touching that thing. Just jking, it's on the to do list, but man I wanna wash my hands just looking at that thing. But that's my deal, you have fun with it! Great video, keep em coming.
That exact model Elliott smith used for Roman candle in 1994 , he return to guitar store where he brought it. Such a unique and beautiful guitar . I can’t understand why people do this king of sh1t
its funny, when ted does the sand paper pulls he takes a brush and sweeps the dust off and is slow and steady, you just get it done and i think its awesome. there 100 ways to skin a cat i suppose
Totally many ways to do things, this was a quick and dirty turnaround. It depends on the guitar. And more specifically its finish. On a very precious guitar, I lay down tape on either side of the heel.
This guitar is from 1928-29 and is x braced. It was 100% built for steel strings. There is a lot of misinformation about this guitar, including an article that says it was for Gut strings, but that is incorrect.
Great work. Thanks. I enjoy this channel. BTW: Canadians are Americans. Peruvians are Americans. Those of us in the 48 contiguous and 2 discontiguous states are Americans. We are also USAns. Also spelled Usans.
Saved by the bell... Why the hell were they attaching all that ugly crap to a nice old guitar anyway? Some people have no appreciation for history. Let them fake Steam Punk First Act or Esteban guitars if they gotta get that crap out of their system. ;)

Hahaha! Love the corn!
That actually sounds like a pretty bad ass story for my future death guitars, I hope the best for them!
this is basically toy story but with guitar
The movie was far from forgettable, but I agree, the guitar deserved better.
It wasn’t corny. It actually made me a bit emotional. You’ve got a real way with words.
Thanks for saving us from others stupidity. Showing how devastating the depression really was.
pains my soul to see what happened to the poor beauty. Incredible job bringing her back to life. Elliott would be proud
I'm so glad you didn't do this to that guitar. I was scared when you posted the pic lol

If a meteorite, due to how easy it was for you to take some off it would likely be a Carbonaceous chondrite… so not ferrous.

its funny, when ted does the sand paper pulls he takes a brush and sweeps the dust off and is slow and steady, you just get it done and i think its awesome. there 100 ways to skin a cat i suppose
Totally many ways to do things, this was a quick and dirty turnaround. It depends on the guitar. And more specifically its finish. On a very precious guitar, I lay down tape on either side of the heel.
Cool way of stringing BUT ARE THOSE STEEL STRINGS
This guitar is from 1928-29 and is x braced. It was 100% built for steel strings. There is a lot of misinformation about this guitar, including an article that says it was for Gut strings, but that is incorrect.
James Cameron tho a genuis,filmaker and submariner almost destroyed this one,but you saved it!!!!
First🎉
Also great restoration job!
That is one HAPPY guitar again
The thing is that the guitar was changed by the owner for a movie. Just like you changed it for yourself.
noooo not the special daughter card 😭😭
Hahahaha! I know I’m sorry! I have a drawer with the other 400 I promise!
Damn this one sounds AMAZING!!!!
Good man.... well saved.
Great work. Thanks. I enjoy this channel. BTW: Canadians are Americans. Peruvians are Americans. Those of us in the 48 contiguous and 2 discontiguous states are Americans. We are also USAns. Also spelled Usans.
you should just have let it be what it was made into, a prop
I absolutely love this guitar
God I hate patina 😂
lol “I doubt 500 people went”. Negative ROI
There’s no way they made money 500 people worked on it for 8 months, with movie money and union pay!
Dominated 😎
Oh domiNO you didn’t!
@@Notaluthier this could domino if we are not careful
Привет. Отличное видео, спасибо.
Great Job !
Thank you
That movie was actually decent
Saved by the bell... Why the hell were they attaching all that ugly crap to a nice old guitar anyway? Some people have no appreciation for history. Let them fake Steam Punk First Act or Esteban guitars if they gotta get that crap out of their system. ;)
Excellent save!
Thanks!
As a Gunnm fan I find this whole "immersive experience" thing cringe as f**k.
Fun to watch.
Thanks!
What a gem!
Very nice man.
Awesome guitar
Cdve bought a $300 Yamaha and covered it in 'steampunk' pcbs and junk!
I was like, the back track is the guitar he's working on, isn't it?☺
