  • I'll be back! Someone already said that line. But it seems appropriate here too. Be sure to watch and see how I fix the sagging top on this vintage 1919 L1 Gibson guitar. Also be sure to check out video 154 for the first time it was in the shop with an ailing neck.

    Your Integrity is admirable Jerry.
    Normally, People wouldn’t even make a video of a returned item.
    This shows you’re a very honest person.

    The fact that you can diagnose every problem is one thing; that you so expertly repair those problems is proof of your craftsmanship! Thanks for sharing this repair of a very old and beautiful guitar.

    Jerry , you have great integrity , most repair businesses wouldn't have showed a returned item , then you paid the returned shipping, your customer should be very happy!

    When the back popped off, I thought how poorly braced the top is. But this guitar survived 100 yrs with just a few repairs, shows what I know. Great repair, I enjoyed this video thoroughly.

    Fantastic integrity and even greater repair skills. There's so much to admire here: your luthier skills, the fact you revealed your bill (which I think was remarkably low), the fact you picked up the shipping costs, your self-criticism, and even your playing. Hats off!

    I would rather watch your videos than just about anything on TV. You have a special knack for explaining what you’re doing and what you have done. Not everyone can do that. Simply amazing work to identify the cause of the buzzing, and to fix it. Love the extra work you did on the bridge. Thanks for sharing.

  • @robertmcfetridge3480
    @robertmcfetridge3480 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This is truly a classic episode. I watched it again having watched it a year or two ago. There are so many aspects of this program that are brilliant. I particularly enjoyed the mystery of the dropped cleat and the deductions around it. To watch you sleuth that history was a treat. You have re-written the history of this guitar and recorded on video.
    As a viewer it is very different to watch you struggle with the decision to remove a back. I cheer when you decide to take it off because I know it is going to be a great story and we will see some serious craftsmanship. It is so satisfying to see old braces restored like you have done in this episode.
    You are a force of nature and it is a gift to see you in action.

    @pmcm-ih1ep 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    People in the know about the danger of increasing the pressure of the strings on the neck lean a guitar against a wall or chair or whatever facing forward.... When a guitar faces forward like that the dust gathers in the bottom underside at the front like you pointed out. Another great restoration Jerry and it was cool seeing the insides of a hundred year old guitar...amazing carved back and top.

    @thomasgreen8532 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It has been years since I have heard that song, I played it a time or two myself. interesting video too, I have never seen the back taken off a guitar done successfully, I had a Epiphone 12 string that someone tried to repair and did a horrible job, it needed a lot more than I could give it. I probably should have kept it but I just did not have the room, I had neither the inclination or the expertise to do it myself. space became an issue when we moved into a 5 wheel and traveled the country for awhile. Thanks again!
