I especially like Gibson's exquisite, hand-inlaid rosette decal. The restoration is way more impressive than the guitar. Looks like it was played a lot though.

Absolutely brilliant work, but please wear a respirator for spraying nitro. You know that obviously. I'm just saying.

Super interesting to watch. We are curious about that half-round tab on the fingerboard where it extends over the body. There’s a hole in it, as if something connects to it. We’ve never seen one of those before.

1 minute into the video I was saying “this is going to be interesting”! Definitely some micro surgery.

We enjoyed watching this. I guess we are guitar repair nerds.

Simply incredible!!

nice scarf joit

I absolutely love the approach and the style of this repair. Only just found out about Doug. Subscribed right away.

Hi Doug, tricky job. @ 10-12, the top may have been replaced at the Gibson factory without removing the neck, which would have covered the tenon. It looks too good to have been done by the idiot who messed up the neck joint. Also, I believe that back in the 60's Gibson sometimes fitted the neck, then the top covering the tenon to some of the J45 > J55 models giving some Luthiers a surprise when trying to do a re-set. It sounds great, it's good to find a Luthier who can play as well as you can, keep it up. Have you ever done a classical Spanish guitar with the slipper neck block joint?

Great finishing tips. The end result was real nice. 👍

I have heard good things about Suhr guitars. I supposed low budget instruments have low budget tuners. Looks like a nice upgrade.

Enjoyed seeing how you overcame the challenges of fixing a classic vintage bass.

That is a BEAUTIFUL dulcimer! I have a KOA guitar which absolutely love! The repair work was interesting and educational once again. 👍

I enjoyed seeing a bass worked on. Don’t see that often.

Great video, but forgive me if I'm stepping out of place. If you elevate your overspray template and inch or so above the body, the overspray will naturally feather out under the paper and save you some time on the sanding. Prevents hard paint lines

Was that fish glue you were using? Great video and thanks for the segment where you blocked out the sound of your coworkers.

So 3 things: It must have been fun and satisfying to make that bridge. 2: What a pleasure to find out that you work with the Gorilla Guitar Repair guy. I also subscribe to that channel. And 3: How serendipitous to find a Mother of Pearl handle sized so perfectly for a tuner knob. You must have been good in a previous life. Cheers.

Beautiful work. I think I was holding my breath the entire time you were removing that back!

Great repair, and I loved the cat cameo - appropriately enough one of my cats was wandering around on my computer desk as I watched.

Fish glue? I assume?

Nice repairs! Thanks for posting. Looks and sounds fantastic!

Good job...cool Lamb Lies Down shirt...I had one back in the day as well...

Indeed, quite a difference between the "big-ass crack" and the "big ass-crack" 😅

Some brave moves on this one.

so the bridge was not only missplaced ( intonation incorrect) but also a wrong bridge was installed originally, being to high for that kind of body/neck type of construction..wow. And because the neck is a glue-in, you couldnt fix that with in the neck pocket. But maybe it would have been done with a different type of bridge that is shallower that a Tune-O-Matic.

Mandolin sounds sweet.

Looks like the shop is super backed up. Maybe if those young guys did more work and less time goofing around, it wouldn't be that way. I hear the same thing on nearly all your videos.

Great repair as always Doug, REALLY good solution to the shrinking back by simply sawing & re-gluing the tail block (with reinforcement piece). Now a very nice mandolin once again! 👍

I really like the custom parts tray you have. You can safely store parts and then each lunch after it has been reassembled! 😁

Nice work! I’d love to refinish my dad’s Gretsch Country Gentleman. The guitar means a lot to me and I’m afraid I’ll do more harm than good. It’s not in bad condition. Still plays and sounds excellent. Needs all the binding replaced for sure.

I see what you did there! 🤪

Your technical knowledge and skill looks like you're able to respond like a real artist. Beautifully creative.

Great stuff. Reminds me of "kintsugi", the japanese art of accentuating repairs in pottery.

I love the history! And…. I REALLY wanted to see the little maple backplate tabs! 😂 This is truly a beautiful instrument!

So…. Someone must have relabeled it a Stomber - Interesting…. Wonder if I could relabel some Gibsons and get away with it? 🤔 😂

What a great attitude!

Ovations can be a very beautiful guitar. I guess that beauty comes with challenges. 😊

Can't wait to watch you work on a Marti, a Taylo and a Gibso, not to mention a Fende.

One of my favourite things about this channel is that theres no tricks, no glitz, no glamour. Just raw - This is a problem, this is how we fix it. Perfect knowledge sharing and demonstration of your craft, love it.

all show and no go it seems. or was at least

What a great job...

looks and sounds great!

What a wonderful and strange guitar.

Yes, mustard not ketchup on those back braces! Another fantastic job. Liked that dovetail sanding jig. Never thought of that.

Doug ROCKS!!!

Recycled Percussion and Chaos and Kindness are truly amazing. We need more people like them. BTW, the guitar looks awesome!

Dougthe cowaerd wont call out the garbage ripoff guitar. FU

How will you “bridge” the two episodes? 😅 The chisel work was a good lesson.

Wonderful job! Really enjoyed seeing that older Martin restored back to life. Enjoyed you demonstrating/playing the results of your work!
