Totally blown away by the amount effort you put into restoring my Great Great Grandpa's guitar! Now I find myself looking at the details over and over again. You are a hard working and passionate individual. Thank you from my family to yours Jerry!! -Razatti
It was great that you sent Jerry the video and we could all see how much you appreciate his incredible work. I know it must make you very happy to have it restored and playable!👍😎🎸🎶
Nice
Really heartwarming and educational, sorry you couldn't straighten that truss rod, but it didn't seem to matter in the end, the guitar played well in tune up the neck, great job
Razatti, very cool you had your Great Great Granddad's Epiphone brought back to life, what an heirloom to haven the family... I've always been fond of early Epiphone instruments, and yours came out very nice. Nice playing too btw, good to see the owner enjoying the finished product. Be well, Tom
Bucyrus Erie12 Thank you! I’m telling you I thought it was a lost cause until I found this channel. After seeing Jerry dig into so many instruments, I knew he’d be able to pull it off. It’s so amazing we get to keep it in the family. Thanks for watching!
Very fun to watch you do this Epiphone. The color match on the bindings was really really good!. The owner is very thankful you fixed his great great grandpas guitar when others would not. Every time you do one of these older guitars I learn more. I am in your debt
Greetings from the locked down UK! Beautiful restoration, detailed work has rescued a great old guitar.
That was a great series. Thanks to Melissa for bringing it back from the vault and to you for your amazing expertise. Peace and be well.
What an education in dedication, my friend!
Ladies and gentlemen, this video here needs a second and a third look!
Hi Gerry, thankyou for the posts on this guitar, really enjoyed watching them as I sit here in Scotland in self isolation, wife & son are good, daughter too, please isolate you & yours cos this corona virus thing is serious, the numbers are stacking up all over the world & it does not care who it kills in it`s wake, & thank Mellisa from me too! stay safe.
Thanks once again Jerry. Splendid effort and result. I can see the inspiration for my old Harmony in the Epiphone and I love that tone of an archtop guitar. Thank you Tony and Jerry for demoing the guitar.
Jerry, you are my sensei for everything string-related when I want to set up, repair, or restore an instrument, as I do my own guitar setup and restoration work!
I am now in the process of restoring my battle-worn 1972 Harmony acoustic, which is my first guitar, thus your video on replacing the bindings is exactly what I needed to see because now I know what I have waiting for me!
Thank you very much! 👏🏽 👍🏼☺
Major work required. I could tell by the owners smile how happy he was to find you to bring this back to life!
Great work as usual Jerry, the work you did on colour matching the binding was definitely above and beyond, and the guitar looks and sounds perfect. Loved the song too!
Great work Jerry. Who needs Netflix when you have Rosa String Works?
Really enjoyable video Jerry. Super ending with the customer expressing his appreciation for your work. And it looked wonderful. Gotta like a happy ending.
I am in awe with the work you did to bring new life to this old gem! Amazing job! I love the original song! Thanks for sharing!
Man 3 episodes but once again Jerry worked his magic wow that was amazing great job!!!!
LOVE watching a true craftsman work! You're inspirational...
Fantastic Jerry! Inspired from Western Canada . Hope you stay safe and well in crazy times.
Wow, that turned out great! So glad you did the sprayed shellac!
Thank you Jerry!
Great job! Great tune!
Things are complicated here in Portugal and mostly in all countries!
Stay safe friend!
Think you did a fantastic redo.. a far cry from when she came in.. Looks good and sounds great.. well done.. thanks for sharing all the vids on it...nice that the owner was so pleased...
Wow ! You should be proud , it’s useful , beautiful , and been reborn by a master .
The guitar sounds great and so does your yodeling. Amazing job gettin er back in shape. Stay safe, Jerry.
Jerry you are awesome! I think I watched about ten hours of you working on guitars today. At certain points I was watching one of your videos on my TV while simultaneously watching another on my phone. Bet you'll never guess what I plan to do tomorrow... Ok, I bet you will guess .
One of the best sounding arch-tops I've heard. Thanks for the yet more tips, and thumbs up to crush a troll.
Great singing Jerry! Love the yodel! Nice work on the guitar. Just love your videos!
Wonderful work, Jerry. You are an amazing craftsman. Too bad about that truss rod!
Wow - that’s a lot of work from a dedicated Luthier - superb! And a great song at the end
Love the song, yep real 20's. Its great to keep these old guitars going and playable. Nothing worse than a guitar in a show cabinet.
Had to fast forward just so I could hear this thing... Watching now :)
Jerry it looks great, just like an old beautiful guitar. Great job!!
Nice job Jerry. That truss rod must have been quite frustrating. I liked the song too.
Thank you for posting. Very entertaining and interesting with all the social distancing. Hope you are well.
The guitar looks and sounds great! I liked your song, and Mr. Razatti sure does a great job picking that guitar!
Oh my goodness I never thought your get it back to being a playable guitar, extra fine determined work by the Master. Now i want one of these in my collection. Thanks for taking the time to film and explain
You did a great job on staining that white binding!
A truly great three part series. Thank you, Melissa, and kudos to you as usual, Jerry!
Sad ancient one-way truss rod just got old and retired. Kinda like me...
Great work guitar and video. I like the quick cuts, it’s funny to see and hear your thought process sped up.
Awesome Jerry. I have an old Harmony that is very similar looking. It belonged to my grandfather. I'm currently trying to restore it.
great job Gerry. Nice tune too! a man of many talents.
Great work bringing that archtop back to life!
Great work!, The guitar looks and sounds superb!! 👍👌😍😍
that old guitar sounds great and that song is just fine. G.
Don't be so critical of your work. You did a fabulous job! I can't wait to see more!
Jerry: It looks great!!!! Quit beating yourself up. It's an old guitar, it probably hasn't looked this great in 30 years.
What a fantastic end result! The guitar looked terrific and your customer was so thrilled and pleased to have his loved family heirloom restored to a wonderful playable condition!
Very well done Jerry and thanks for posting.
Jerry Great job as always. The owner is sure happy and that’s what counts. FWIW I always do put the “backbow” rig on a neck like that to clamp it into the shape I want it - then run the trussrod nut up to hold it vs risking breaking the truss rod or pulling it out of the other end. And I’m not opposed to putting a washer or two (or 3 ) under the nut when necessary. FWIW2 I have worked on a few old Epis from roughly that era and none of them had that type of truss rod nut. My guess after seeing this is that they may have at one time but somebody long before me probably changed them out rather than buying or making a tool like you did. (What others guitar techs have a metal lathe or know how to use it... not many, if any LOL.) You are a unique case, sir.
I couldn't see any way of putting any spacers on it. Plus they have to be tiny teevan fit under the end of the fingerboard I'm not sure you could use a spacer at all even if there was a place to put it.
Great song and wonderful playing. Sounds good. Thank you so much
I just got done with part 2 and i was just thinking, I need part 3!!! Lo and behold 😄. Thank you RSW for making quarantine a little better. Love your videos! Be well ✌
Very nice instrument and work. I want it. But re the tailpieces, longer total string length doesn't imply greater tension. As long as the nut to bridge length doesn't change, the length of the rest is irrelevant to the tension required to tune it to any specific pitch.
I suggest that you can use the choice as to which way around to put the tailpieces to 'voice' the instrument: whichever strings have the longer length to the tailpiece will vibrate in sympathy more than the shorter ones. You just choose which sympathetic vibrations you want more of: bass or treble.
Steinway pianos take this to another level by ensuring that the string lengths from bridge to peg are in tune, which helps the brilliance of the sound by maximizing sympathetic vibrations (and keeping them in tune).
Keep up the good work, and keep healthy.
I forgot to mention what you no doubt already know, that back in the day these instruments were used with far higher actions than we would tolerate today. You can hear the physical effort on recordings of the era. Django for example. In the 1960s I played a couple of unreconstructed arch-tops owned by friends' fathers, and I can attest to it. I think it was only when Leo Fender got going around 1949 that people realized it didn't have to be that hard, if you made the instrument well enough. So you're making this one a lot more playable than it probably ever was before.
The DOCTOR Revives Another Patient!!!
Awesomeness A~BOUNDing...Pun Intended!
: P
Very heartwarming to see Razatti play his ancestor's guitar and play it very well I might add. Jerry, you did a great job here. Don't ever doubt the value of your videos!
that looks fantastic, great job Jerry!
Great series Jerry you are a Master,Cheers
Beautiful job, Jerry. The customer looked very happy, and he should be. Enjoy all your videos. I wish we lived closer to each other.
Come down sometime and we'll Jam on TH-cam!
Rosa String Works when this “social distancing “ is over I may just do that. I will give you plenty of warning😎
Great job Jerry, and I even liked the song!!
Well, that ole boy certainly knew what to do with it when he got it back!
This has been one of my favorites of all your videos. When I was young and ignorant I threw out a few old treasurers like that. Prognostication has never been one of my strong suits. Thank you for that wonderful journey.
that's a lot of work but she sounds and looks waay better now! if I knew you could yodel I had forgotten abut it! nice video! stay safe and healthy man!
Love seeing and hearing the old guitars brought back to life, extra special when sentiment involved. +1 Jerry. Be safe all. Respect
Another great example of what you have said, "a well cared for old instrument". Looks great.
#LIKE. Amazing Guitar!! Awesome Job!! Great Songs!!
Very nice job ! Congrats !! At the same time, it's always wise to mention the main risk of using linseed oil : it is a 'spontaneously-igniting oil' ... where one must use very special care with the rags used !! Drying has it give off heat , enough to ignite a rag ... So people: store the used rags appropriately !!!!
Jerry, you are truly a guitar wizard. Listening to this guitar being played proves that all of your hard and sometimes frustrating efforts were worth it. Thanks for sharing it with us.
You did fine Jerry.
And a nice song too, de yo du leh he o du leh he o leh ee.
Another awesome video series. It was nice to see the customer enjoying it as well. I might have tried a little PB blaster on the truss rod, but I wouldn't force it either. I've come across "stuck" ones like that also and I've always had the same fear of breaking it.
In the collectors world that guitar ha as become very sought after,
and as usual you are a magician,the guitar looks incredible ,great job once again my friend
Please protect this national treasure(Jerry) .I've worked with laquor in my painter history,especially laquer primer. Use your resperator and keep ventilated.we need you to stick around for many moons to come🙏.
Thank's for this great repair series, bringing this beat-up instrument to life. There are literally hundreds of small operations that have to be done, and you did it well. The song was fun to listen to.
A brilliant job and so carefully and thoroughly executed.
I think it safe to say that if Jerry can't do it then it probably can't be done .
This is restoration work of the highest order .
Nice job! Fun to watch the resto!
Great to see a customer reaction. Great job.
I ain't laughing now... Several listed on Reverb between $2,000 and $4,000! Enjoyable repair as always. Merry Christmas!
Another wonderful job, you have good reason to be proud of the work you did on it. Especially aging that binding and hiding the patch in the back. I do have a soft spot for arch tops, and that one sounds fine. They are meant to play heartily, loud and with gusto. Great job, again!
You did a GREAT JOB on restoring the guitar.I learned a lot from watching the series.Thanks for sharing..Stay safe my friend.
great series of videos Jerry. I have my dad's pre-war Kay, I sure wish you were able to work on it. Just needs new buttons and few other things. Maybe someday you will get caught up enough to take on a few more instruments. :-)
Looks good !!! and good Blues tune!!
I'm always amazed at your work and I love your original song! It was so nice to see the appreciation the owner has for all your efforts!👍😎🎸🎶
Probably the best restoration I've seen you do Jerry! Congratulations.
Such a shame that bloody truss rod would not budge. That would have made it player perfect.
Regardless, the tone on this ole' gal is just beautiful. Well done!
Awesome job Jerry.
awesome job ...helped me to kinda patch up a mokeyward kinda like it belonged to my wifes dad ..didnt do as slick a job as jerry but his video helped make it playable and as near perfect as i can get it
I can definitely see why other Luthier's said "no way, I'm not going to work on it." Great job, it sounds great. I like it when you can get the owner to comment and play the instrument. We get an idea of what it's new life will be like.
Beautiful work!
Nothing is harder than binding replacement on old guitars. A friend of my had 1954 blonde cutaway D’Angelico New Yorker with binding issues. New Yorkers have 9 ply-binding…yes 9 separate pieces of stacked binding…very few luthiers would even attempt it. Eventually a luthier agreed to do it…it took 18 months…yes months and it cost $2000.00 to do it. (It’s a $65,000.00 Guitar). A few luthiers quoted 7-9 k for the job. After finishing the New Yorker, the luthier said “…I will never do another binding job……NEVER”
So grateful Jerry. You are a good man! (I was so relieved at 50:36 and you mentioned forcing back-bow and changed the energy...)
Great video great song I had a Radiotone guitar that looked exactly the same as that Epiphone it sounded like it too
Great song Jerry
Well done!👍🏼
Really a wonderful ressucitation of a beautiful instrument you can be proud of your work !
Once again you have blown me away Mr. Rosa.
There's flies on you whatsoever.
AWESOME guitar AWESOME work
Great work fella , it's inspired me to set up my small selection of guitars . Don't apologise or try to explain your motivation to the bad mouthers . When I worked in the mines we had a saying" you can't educate pork" . It comes to mind when I think of negative comments.
Jerry, guitar looking good and with no guitar effects sounds brilliant too. Stay safe.🇬🇧
Excellent work. That restoration was one of the toughest jobs of seen you undertake just one problem after another. As usual you seemed to press on solving each one as it arose. It’s great to see that the customer really appreciated your rare skills. I was surprised to learn that the 1938 guitar actually had an adjustable truss rod, ( even though it didn’t work), I don’t think that Martin started fitting them until the 1960s. Many guitar makers just put a metal bar in the neck, ( if anything).
Jerry, just when I thought you couldn't surpass your level of work on that old birdhouse of a guitar, you whip out a *killer* period song and pull it off like a pro. WOW.
Very difficult to make new repairs look old on a guitar that has this many imperfections, you have achieved that,
great job Jerry!
Great job sir. BTW...I liked your song.
That was a LOT of hard work!
The guitar sounded beautiful. And I liked your song. Cute and funny. Much kinder than Charlotte the Harlot which is a cowboy favorite out here.
Triumph! Thanks Team!
Beautiful guitar!
What a lovely job you have made of this guitar and i was right it's got a great sound you have every right to be proud of this Job, Melissa has done a great job putting all the parts together Kudos all round.
Great job Jerry.
wow Jerry what a great job, you're a master of the craft. Great fun song too.
Not just a luthier and now an artist as well! Perfick!
