I bet that heel issue is a mistake fix. Just a guess. If someone can fix it you are the man to do it!

Doug you are incredible, and thanks so much for sharing your work.

That is awesome!!

This is some first class Luthier work.This carving of the neck with a butcher knife is giving me some ideas for some old knives I've saved. Lol.

beautiful work

I finally figured out that this is part 1. I suggest that you rename this to include part 1 or episode 1. These are really good episodes! Thanks. And Merry Christmas!

Doug the fact you get such good results with what you have to use as a paint area amazing man

I've watched 100s of repairs, and this definitely up there with the top! You're an artist with your tools!! Thanks for sharing!!

That was interesting. We’ve never seen a mandolin repair! We are sooo glad you were able to take off that back. That soundhole is tiny! So glad the brace was inside! The single-piece caul was a great idea!

Excellent work as always; I would take one in left handed please and thank you. LOL!! I want to build a left handed floyd rose frankenstrat (but still have a nice guitar). But the going price for bodies out there is too much and my budget is slim. I just need a neck and a body. I have scanned over EBay and Reverb and other wood sites and no luck for me. Be safe and have a Happy New Year and tell Seth Hi for me. I watch you guys all the time. Peace be with you and yours.

Won't all these metal filings stick to the pickup? I usually see people taping the up before doing any kind of fretwork in the upper region.

What glue did you use to attach the neck? Hide glue? Fish glue?

Love your videos man. You and Ted Woodford make such great videos. I love to see structural repairs.

Great work but the background music is terrible and so loud I can’t hear your voice ..

Holy eff, next level does not come close. Wholly insane level. I am blown away!

Fantastic job there Don - what a craftsman you are. Thank you.

Plastic kills the best guitars. It's unbelieveable how bad this is for guitar tone, and they do it at Fender and many other companies for decades and decades now. But when it comes to nitro, the case is similar: Today's nitro laquers contain softeners, so that cracks from temperature changes from warm to cold close when warmed up again, and then again there is no cracks. That's why so many reliced guitars are so badly faked: people put them in the freezer to get the cracks, then they fill the cracks with dirt, and when the cracks close, you see a pattern - but you have no cracks. Others just cut the cracks with a knife. If we had the old nitro, we wouldn't need to pay so much money for fake ass relicing - just buy a new guitar and play it for a few years, don't put it in the case and let the sunshine come through the window... you don't need anything more.

Doing all those repairs inside the body seems so difficult and uncomfortable to the arms-the small space, the odd angles, and the lack of hand leverage! But you always manage to do what needs to be done.

Phantom of the Opera guitar.

What about the serial number?

Spectacular results! Congrats and thanks for posting.

Awesome videos Doug, you are a real tallented guy! Keep em coming!

Oh , why didn't you give it Flatwound Strings ? 😮

That's a very nice looking bass

That is a quite a tidy job! The binding looks super. The finish is really nice, too.

I Love that finish work, bravo!

On Amazon, I saw a "Deflector Nozzle - Deflector nozzle creates a long, narrow heat pattern to the work surface, can be used for drying, thawing, stripping paint or softening putty" that could come in handy for those who regularly need to remove guitar finishes. It clips onto the end of a Heat Gun.

I like the power hand file

The warmouth is a freshwater fish of the sunfish family that is found throughout the eastern United States. Other local names include molly, redeye, goggle-eye, red-eyed bream, and strawberry perch.

I like it 👍 what type of paint was the red candy? Thanks for recording the process.

I have tinnitus as well Just gotta stay busy You seem to do that well Love your work Thanks for sharing

When redrilling the bridge holes did you put something against the inner bridge plate to prevent blow out?

The first ES-330 vid was the video that lead me to your channel. The remix is awesome, but still for the life of me can't understand what was going through the mind of the person who violated this poor 330

Merry Christmas Doug, and may the Lord Jesus Christ continue to bless you and guide you brother. Love the groovy fret markers mate, I'm surprised main stream manufactures don't make a line with these.

What type of wood does Gibson use for their neck/headstock?

What about the serial number at the headstock?

This is more than impressive. Your vision to bring this back to life can't be expressed any better than by all the others below. I'm sure the owner broke out in tears of joy to see a life disaster bring something back to life.Thanks Doug for taking all of us through this journey. Fred

Does “gorpy” mean thick and chunky?

So there’s no physical bond, only a chemical bond on that headstock repair? (Dowels vs glue) Won’t the string tension cause that to fail in the long run?

Fabulous, very inspirational

This video is fantastically educating and amazingly well done Doug! It is absolutely the best presentation of this great instrument……

You're truly talented! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Great video!

Amazing work, however can I ask were you not tempted to age the finish a little? It looks like a brand new neck on an older body? A little aging would’ve tied it in nicely. Fantastic craftsmanship though!

Just repaired my Les Paul Pro, almost perpendicular break. I suspect it won't last. Small chunks missing like yours. Filled with matching tint cyanoacrylate and baking soda. Painted a matching simulated wood grain over that, then the lacquer coats. Not noticeable now. What is the black sheet you cover the headstock with? (for when I start over, 🙄). Excellent video.

Beautiful! I wasn’t sure of your vision when you started but I turned out great! Well done!

This is an awesome repair, so satisfying to watch. I was wondering how come nobody stamps the serial number on these Gibson repairs though. It should be so much easier then that emblem work I feel like.

Your techniques are very impressive Your craftsmanship is at another leve.

Doug, Ive been enjoying your techniques bring guitars back to life. I'm a tool junkie also and saw some of the rulers you're using that include micro slots in them. I saw the extra wide ruler with multiple scales and the slots and would like an information on who makes it (and other rulers). Thanks for the education and craftsmanship. Fred
