- In this part 2 (final) of the series, you will see how the restored SJ200 came together. It is a fine sounding guitar. That's saying something considering the condition it was in when it arrived.

Took an old trashed guitar and made it a player. The world is a better place now. Thank you.
I've done a few like that and they always seem to be the most rewarding fixes. He turned poop into gold... :)
@@ThePreyMantas one of the most rewarding ones I did was for a disabled young friend of mine, on an old Kay classical someone left in the park. It was worth doing just to see the look on her face. (and I did it as a freebie for her, and sorted her out with another friend of mine to teach her to play it). It's what makes the world go round.
@@49mrbassman Sounds like a wonderful thing you did. Good to hear. Thanks for sharing!
@@ThePreyMantas yuck
that bridge repair patch was awesome !!!!
Great job! My father use to sing that song, I was born in 54 too!
Excellent repair choices for the customer - sounds great regardless on the modifications and brought the sound and health back to near perfect for decades of playing.
Just a couple of things: First I have a SJ200 and that's how I landed on this page, I love the restore videos of this guitar - Thank you!
Second, my dad used to play the Soldiers last letter (I think it's Earnest Tubb) and you play it just like my dad.
He's been gone 33 years now, but I found myself wiping the tears away as you sang it.
Thank you!
Jerry great job on this J 200 Gibson guitar. One of my favorite guitars. Looks and sounds good. 100% improvement for what the customer wanted. I love this. old guitar with a little age. Shows a lot of caricature. Anyone can go buy a new guitar. Always nice to watch a master Luthier at work. I’ve learned a lot watching your videos. Thanks Jerry. Look forward to the next. Take care Jerry. Until next time. One of my favorite songs you performed on that old Gibson. By Ernest Tubs. You are a true Legend.
Beautiful singing and playing very nice lovely song... thankyou
That was a tough job to repair & AND KEEP WITHIN CUSTOMERS BUDGET, but you came through with flying colors, great job again & thanks for your videos I really enjoy them, I'm a young 89 years young ?
Since way back in part 1 of this video, when Jerry said that there was nothing he could do about that messed up area where the other pickguard used to be, I knew he wouldn't leave it alone. I knew he would figure something out, and I was right. Fantastic job, thanks for letting us sit in the shop and watch you werk, God Bless.
Helen McCuan Beautiful on both. Love that song.
I thought the whole time "another faulty construction and dilettantic glued Gibson product" but have to admit that your judgement and comments are very realistic and the sound is much better than expected. This project seems to have very well matched the expectations of your customer.
That looks amazing given its condition when it came in. Looks wonderful.
Amazing job Jerry, you are brilliant at restoring / repairing other peoples crappy repairs. Not easy. The bridge looks stunning compared to how it was originally, the whole guitar has been lifted from the depths of gloom by a man who can and that is you my friend you never cease to amaze me, more power to you, Thank you so much for all your hard work in sharing your incredible repairs with everyone.Peace and Love from Bonny Scotland.
16:10 The quote of the project: "While it may not grow into a beautiful swan, it might turn into a better looking duck ..." Made my weekend. AND is universally quotable.
Thank you very much. I try...
Great job from Tom in the West of Ireland
Great Repair, Jerry! Love your videos so much! I am from Montana!
JERRY I admire the fact that you hang everything you have out in the open for the world to see! I admire your guts and grit and ability to see a job through to its completion to the best of your ability! Those who sit at home on the couch and criticize without publishing their own video should be Gagged until they learn to offer constructive criticism and valid ideas! You sir are a clear example of the kind of people you have made this country great! I have never met you so I have no reason to blow hot wind up your skirt! I Admire a guy Who will charge up the hill and conquer the enemy while everyone else is standing back and watching and trying to tell you how to do it while you were actually getting the job done!
Thank you.
Fantastic job on this Gibson! Heck of an improvement! Definitely sounds great!
Terrific stuff Jerry. The customer is bound to be delighted with the results!
Cheers, John
They should call you the " MIRACLE MAN " - I envy your talent and vision for what can be achieved with patience and knowledge.
Great job! You restored it and gave it character to boot!
Fantastic! I've been waiting all week for this. Cheers
Some great Luthier skills and a song! Thanks for the share.
I always learn something new when i watch you fix and restore these guitars. Thank you for the videos.
I take it back. I thought the attempt to blend the old finish was a bad idea. I'm glad I was wrong. Well done.
Great job!
The finish blending is genius , it gave it a nice vintage look
I never thought that Gibson would ever look that good amazing brilliant job well done love the song real old country
Another fine job, Jerry. Thank you much for sharing your talent.
Jerry, that was a great job. I like the way you just try things and see what works. Its an inspiration to all of us repair techs.
Just watched (2022) liked the new bridge plate "45" grain position - hard to believe it came out that flat, stable & sounding that good. Looks much better too - keep smiling Adam
Nice Job Jerry.
Remember you cant polish a terd.
But you can roll it in glitter ✨️
Great to see the guitar back in playable condition, and sounding great! Good job Jerry!
I am especially impressed with the repair of that saddle!
You Sir are a master restorer, and an Artist. I love to watch you work
Can't believe your customer did not let you re fret this beautiful antique guitar. He doesn't deserve this guitar or the superb craftsmanship you bring. You did the most fantastic work with one hand tied behind your back. Amazing work mate. x
Excellent couple of vids. I really enjoyed your pragmatic, honest approach and commentary. You did a great job of that - it sounds fabulous. Thank you.
Sir...to me you are the most honest guitar tech ever!
by the looks of it that guitar has been loved and used a lot ...i really like it when you work on the old ones thanks... good job!
Hey Jerry! that's an awesome fix! loved this series, and looking forward to hearing those beautiful Mando's!
Man, Jerry, you are a man of infinite patience. Nice work.
You sir are a gentleman and a scholar! Excellent save.
Great repair to watch from start to completion. Optimal outcome with the refinish on the upper side. Well done as always, senor!
I bow to your talent, Jerry - and an excellent job on the song as well. The guitar speaks for itself. Well done, as always. You just posted and already a thousand views.
I was amazed how well you cleaned that up without refinishing it. I have just recently come across your videos and love them. I’m taking notes
Your persistence on the finish is paying off. It looks 100 times better. I am so highly impressed with that restoration. You are a master of the craft. You can't get to beat up over the finish. For what the customer wanted to spend, you did it better than should have been expected. I think it still looks incredible.
You completely transformed this old guitar and gave it life, very impressed.. great job👏🏼👏🏼
Outstanding job. Anyone would be perfectly happy with those results.
Love watching your repairs. They have given me a lot of insight, and the confidence to do my own work on my guitars. I haven't gone as deep into it as you do, but so far I haven't had to.
You keep it up, and I'll keep watching.
Thanks for sharing
Charlie
Amazing job...I don’t think many would even try to fix that messed up top. Have to say thanks for making these videos, they have showed me so much. I’ve done a bunch of electric repairs and set ups but I’m jumping in to the acoustics ASAP...thanks from Newfoundland Canada.
Impressive! This sounds real good and it looks fine. Great job again. Thanks for sharing
Was a joy to see the ton of the work on that guitar, you are a Master Craftsman , not only saved it from the junkyard fixed it better than is was made !
Enjoyed that Jerry , always learn something here. The best part for me , I get to here you sing and play the guitar you just fixed ... so so cool. And a fine sounding voice. Love old country 👍🇨🇦
The short refrain you played at the end had me in tears. In fact, it still does as I type this. You do amazing work sir.
That song is one of my favorites- beautiful work on it and the guitar!
I am enjoying your no-nonsense approach to instrument repair.
The way you went after that huge mess by the sound hole reminded me of how I took some steel wool to a ruined record album that skipped across 3 songs and actually made it somewhat playable again by sanding off the gouged out vinyl surface until the needle could track the groove again without hopping across the LP. I think your unconventional approach at repairing the extensive damage to the guitars finish improved the looks of it 100% over what you started with. And the bridge repair was amazing to watch!! The patch you made was nearly invisible and prevented the top from being pulled apart by the tension of the strings. As usual you did a great repair job that your viewers were lucky to be able to observe and learn from!
That jumbo has a lot of character. Those grooves in the fretboard tell a tale of a million stories. Given the cost of a brand new J-400. That guitar is worth the cost of the repair. I would love and play it every day. Well maybe not every day. I do have to give some love to my martin
Great job Jerry.
Great Job Doc, Love those old Gibsons, wish I could afford one! finish top repair is really good. Sounds great and loved the song. Thx & God bless!!
Really like your content Mr. Rosa. You are a true old fashioned craftsman with a clear eye for detail! They don't make em like that anymore... 😊 👍
I watched both videos. Great work as usual, Jerry. 👍
Jerry Wonderful Video -- I sat and watch one part after the other. Awesome job it looks much much better! Thanks for sharing with us. Oh Yah really enjoyed the song at the end being an old retired Marine.
These older guitars have such good wood in them. Beautiful sound. Well Worth repairing.
nice repair ... its way better .... and it still sounds better than alot of the newer stuff you can buy .... great one Jerry .. you are a good man ..... allways interresting to watch you work
Top job Jerry, the guitar looks a mile better then when it started!
Very grateful for the song,,,,,
I enjoyed watching both videos, and got many ideas from you. Really good work!
The guitar sounds darned good for such a poor example of one before you got it. Jerry you work wonders with these instruments.
I just found your channel recently. I am so happy I did. I’m a subscriber and a fan. So much useful info, even for a 69 year old novice luthier.
Wow, i'am really impressed, you did so well. Great Guitar with great sound. Thank you so much it is a pleasure to watch your work. And the painting was so much better after your restauration, i learned a lot for preparing my guitars. god bless you, best regards from germany Thomas
Amazing video set. Watched both parts. The JS200 is a gorgeous instrument and you brought that one back to life. Sounds stunning!! The owner was lucky to have you do the work. Congrats!
Another success! I didn’t believe this old beauty was salvageable! But you proved me wrong! I very much enjoyed watching this project. Thanks, Jerry.
Fret board looks awesome! The whole guitar looks great.
That song brought tears to my eyes thank you.
Absolutely unBELIEVABLE work. I hope to someday get someone as kind, patient, skilled and passionate as you to work on my grandfather's gibson dove. This series legitimately got me emotional. Thank you so much, I'm not sure if you realize how much your passion and work mean... but when I see your videos I see previous generations of musicians getting life breathed right back into them. Thank you so much for making instruments playable again and keeping software and computer driven tones that much more on their toes.
Hi Jerry, It was so nice to see you give this 60 -70 year old guitar another 60 plus years to be enjoyed. It sure sounded good when you were playing the song at the end.. Blessing to you brother..
These have always been the best sounding guitars Gibson has ever made, in my opinion. I love these type videos Mr. Jerry.
You are a true treasure and I love watching you do your craft I live in Joplin and I would love to send you an old guitar to work on. When I find the right one. Thank you for posting all your videos and sharing your knowledge with all of us God bless and keep playing that beautiful bluegrass my friend
Unbelievable what you did for a broken down old classic, very impressive.
Nice job. Big improvement on the finish. We old guys can innovate when we need to.
nice work i just spent 2 hours watching part one and two thx this was nice !
I just like the video before I watch it because Jerry is the man!
I do exactly the same. 😁😁 While I didn't understand that specialty clamping tool that he received from another viewer (and received so much flak on) I assumed that I would understand more when he used it or showed a video modifying it. 😁😁😁 Some people have zero patience and should start their own channel. 😁😁😁😁😁😁
Nancy Milawski agreed! People have to be patient and not be an armchair luthier. 😊
hi Jerry watch the first part of few nights back was waiting for the second part wow what a great video you are the man are you and the family have a great night my friend I'll see you soon
You did a great job on this one as usual Jerry!!!
Great job mr. Rosa and an excellent song !
Super job Jerry as usual. Sounds great too.
Beautiful job Jerry, wonderful tone and A++ looks. You achieved exactly what you were going for. A valued instrument that's had some love. Cheers from BC up here in Canuckastan.
I like these mini 2 part series, sounds great.
Very nice repair and a very nice song.
You made a vast improvement on that old guitar. I’m sure that the owner was delighted with it, it sounds exactly like a good J200 should. Great job!
Another great job under your belt, Jerry!
I'd be delighted to own that guitar. Superb work, Jerry.
Looks fantastic! Sounds great too, nice work
I always wanted an SJ-200. Now it’s too late because I have arthritic hands and can’t play anymore. Good work fixing that.
Looks real good as you were playing it. Sounded good to.
I love your videos... I hate people who restores an old guitar and, when you look at the final result, it looks as a newly built one... Fortunately you always respect the ancianity of the instrument (all the defects in her body are war wounds)... and, when the customer recieves his dear guitar it remains the same old guitar, but fully functional... Congratulations from Spain, Mr. Rosa...
Speaking of which, I knew a luthier in Sydney, Australia back in the 80's who used to take vintage guitars and make them look like brand new.
Nonetheless you and I both know that doing this kind of thing is sacrilege.
@@richfolkes A real sacrilege and, moreover, the guitar loses value...
Fascinating pair of videos. learnt a lot there. Thank you.
So many people would have given up and lost hope on this project! Honestly, great job!
I'd absolutely LOVE to fund an old J200 and bring her back to life... great job as usual Jerry! 😀
Just as others mentioned, the pick guard pattern takes the attention covering up any imperfections. I like that.
I really like your videos! Soothing and also I learn alot. Maybe if I'm crazy enough I'll try to build myself a Mandolin when I'm done with school!
