Try a sandstone marker don't know if it will work but worth a try

Great video demonstration of Gary's precise, detailed, workmanship quality and artisanship.

Thanks for the video, Gary! Very helpful for a noob!

your hands look like they hurt ask me how I know . what a work of art

I’ve only done French polish finishes. This video made me decide to try out lacquer. Nice work!

You could of used a 90 degree handle with a large flathead bit for the truss rod, not that clunky screwdriver. And the way you use that sharpening stone is NOT what someone would call fret leveling. You don't even bother masking the fretboard while doing the so-called "crowning". Yeah, it's a crap guitar, but do it properly if you're going to do it at all. That's guitar rape, not restoration. Thumbs down

Nice video. Very interesting Gary.

Very interesting. Happy New Year!

I just finished watching parts 1 through 12 consecutively and thoroughly enjoyed every minute :) I have subscribed, and I have one question. What would it cost to have a guitar like this built for me personally?

They don't make Ovations like they used to.

Very nice! But Gretsch NEVER used brass nuts, It was always bone or bone with a zero fret!

Where do you get the nitrocellulose lacquer?

Where do you get your 1x1 mm veneer sticks? Do you buy them somewhere or do you cut the sticks yourself? If you do cut them yourself, how do you do so?

Beautiful, bravo!

5:19 made my heart stop. Man that buffer has a lot of torque.

Great work! How many coats of lacquer over what period of time? How often do you sand through the finish and have to do another round? For me it happens too often.

Super job ! When you set your Iron to heat up the bridge, what setting did you have it on? What Tuner App are you using Gary ? Thanks !

Thank you , excellent instructional video 📷 . Don't have a band saw , but I have a machete. God Bless You!

They do make angled flat head and phillips . Every hardware store sells them.

Sounds like the fine side of your stone isn't as flat as the coarse side.

You wasted your time mate

I'm not sure that brand new Egmonds were ever in playable condition. My first guitar was an Egmond Rosetti Solid Seven, a hollow electric despite it's name. It was dreadful. Lacking a truss rod, the action was nearly 1/2" at the 20th fret. A flat, unradiused fretboard. Feeble pickups, it was the same model that Paul McCartney and Rory Gallagher once had, and it is a miracle that it did not deter them from guitar playing forever. An abomination of a guitar.

It's a very nice build whoever did it, not crazy about the swimming pool route but nice work none the less

Bitte🙏nichts daran machen, ist ein Original Fantastisch Gitarre, Saiten Lage nach unten und gut. 🎸😊

Personally I would have binned it but, good job rescuing this guitar.

Notable players used these for lack of better guitars.

Great work. 👍 Hope the owner gives it a good clean!

Wow! This brings back a lot of happy memories. I am 72 now, and my very first electric guitar in about 1966 was an Egmond Airstream, it looked identical to that guitar. I have tried to find information about it but there doesn't seem to be much out there.

For shure it looks to me that if someone has prepaired the neck for slide playing action. I have seen this quite some times. It is the easy way instead of making a higher nut...

I'm curious why you used thinned hide glue instead of ca glue to glue the laminates. Would ca glue be a bad choice for that?

That bridge is something else. It's ability to "rock" is kind of random and sloppy, compared to how Bigsby bar bridge or a Fender offset would be. Neat guitar though.

it was a 50.00 guitar.

thats a nice guitar

Interesting. Thank you. 👍

I remember Grinnell Bros on Woodward in Detroit. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for sharing! It’s just like my 1978 KAY SG. Plywood body and beechwood neck. I always figured it was from Japan. We got it at Grinnell Brothers Music store in the Pontiac Mall. Remember Grinnell Brothers?

handy little router

Great to see more progress! 👍

Is a 3mm adjustment standard for all ukuleles, or just sopranos? It would seem that the longer the scale length, the less impact on the angle of attack of the string, when fretted up the neck.

So on a Uke have you ever experimented with either a compensated saddle for intonation? Or an “8 hole” bridge so the string wraps around and over the saddle?

That back looks like a Martin from the 1920s. What a great set of wood.

Wow, the wood looks lovely just with the filler freshly applied, a great preview of the finished instrument! You have now officially made me want a ukulele! I've seen a few struggle with pore filling but your method looks simple yet effective.

Great looking bridge. I especially like the zero-clearance gig used to cut the saddle slot. Much safer that way. Great job.

Great work. Looking forward to seeing it in finish.

I enjoyed that, thank you. An "interesting" bridge! Great paint job too!

Thank you for posting these video

Thats a rocking bridge, same idea as the bridge on my jaguar. I understand the idea behind it but not a fan. The more i use the whammy bar the more the intonation goes out of wack. I finally gave up and wrapped aluminum tape aroung the post of the bride to take all the slop out and just gave up on the whammy bar. I thought a roller brige might help but never got that far. Cool guitar though!

Do you not suppose that pre-checking the neck without the fretboard on to see if the neck has a hump would have been easier to sand straight at least equal to the space that.your veneer strip was taking up... and then if needed alson removing some from the backside of the fretboard, and maybe deepen the trussrod pocket instead of having to remove the frets and sand the fretboard top?...

Very strange bridge. I almost would want to swap it out with a modern bridge. That is what I had to do with my father's Fender Music Master. Thanks for letting us see this guitar.

That guitar could be in every surf band and surfer movie made. A real classic !
