Hi Scotty, thank you for this inspiring video ! As always, precise, accurate, made with a lot of intelligence ! Also, this 1936 Gibson is so cheerful as you prolonged her life ! Thanks again Man and don't forget : you're certainly the best luthier of the USA ! See you next video...
As I get older, I play my smaller acoustic guitars almost all the time. I love dreadnoughts but I hate back pain! And these old 0 and 00 guitars sound so great!!! BOY HOWDY!
@@harpethguitar Scotty, I have a Fender snakehead-prototype clone which is a joy to play. The pine body is lightweight and seems about half an inch thinner than my other Fenders.
Enjoyed this episode of "this ol Gibson". Great work as always. It takes a lot of skill and patience at your level....and to film it...even more so. Thanks!
Great way to start my Friday... I like how you always seem to think outside the box and get creative and keep it informative and interesting... Keep on rocking my man
Here in the UK..1930,s L00 guitars sell for £6000-7000 or $7600-8900.Sound is a personal thing..rarity is another thing.But...as a person who handles many guitars,are they worth the money as guitars.Is there anything special with the woods "you cant buy anymore" etc.If somebody gave you $7000 to buy a guitar..purely as a good instrument,not an investment.Would you go vintage or modern?.
Scotty, I've used a similar technique to get a bit of a backbone into a Classical Guitar neck. Instead of using a Heat Lamp, I used a Heat Gun set on low heat. In the various videos I've seen, heating the neck has usually been done from the fretboard side. Do you think it works better to heat the neck from opposite/player's thumb side to get out a bow? I know there are potential issues with damaging the finish. I see with the heat lamp you're heating both sides of the neck. Thanks
I've used a kitchen stove for that - I got an elongated one for oval pots that is just long enough for the first 12 frets and the neck has been stable for 7 years.
Fantastic how you gave new life to this old girl.
Duuuuude . . . What a gold mine of lutherie all in one episode!

Modern! I like the slim taper neck on the L-00 Standard 😀

I think it’s safest and most effective to heat the rosewood side. 😀
