I've been a woodworker longer than I can remember (my father is also a woodworker) but I am NOT a luthier. I do love watching videos like this. The attention to detail and patience is very impressive.
I love how you did the fine repairs on this one for the right reasons. One, doing it for a good customer at a nominal fee, two, for the experience, and three, because you were intrigued and curious at what lay inside. Virtue is its own reward! Fantastic job!
I have a Japanese was like that.Years ago my wife and I had a woodcraft business. She was an artist and I did the engineering and wood butchering. I built a shop and had all the toys to do anything I wanted to do to wood. One of my favorite things I built was a full feature easel made from the finest oak I could find. I've tried to find anything like it to no avail. It now resides with our local school system. After my wife passed in 2018, I donated all her art supplies including that easel along with a couple of others. Not one piece of hers was ever sold. She would not have been in the least bit happy with me. That easel was her pride and joy.
I wouldn't down-vote because of it but my jaw dropped at the jump to the final product - what was a beautiful old guitar became something much less in my eyes. Artist/craftsman/customer choice, I liked everything else he did.
Amazing patience, precision, and skill . . . I found this quite soothing to watch, actually, even with the Ripley's-Believe-It-Or-Not moments when it first came to the bracing on the inside!
The best Luthier I have ever seen. Attention to both detail and quality reflects exemplary work and inspiring to those people who desire to ever become Luthiers.
This was a pleasure to watch, you are a true artisan and it’s lovely to see such an old instrument get the expert attention it deserves. Thank you for sharing:
Mystical wonders! Unbelievable! Lakes of glue! This whole thing was on the verge of collapse. Hilarious evaluation but so true! Thank God for experts like you. Beautifully done rebuild!!!
I love watching a true Craftsman at work! And I've gotta say, you're one of the best I've seen. At 66 years old, I've seen some incredible craftsmen, most in the manual machining industry...
Its great to see in this day of so much modernism and lack of pride and quality in making or manufacturing a product that someone first of all seeks vintage guitars and most importantly someone restores them with extreme care and talent. A true artform that gladly remains alive and well. And isn't always about money. But the sake of saving something just because you can and want to.
I appreciate that you have such a work ethic that you fix the little things that you see needing a little touch up here, and some love there. You take your time to do the very best work possible with what you have to work with. I am not as skilled as you, but I have seen 3 of your videos so far this evening, and you have a gift. The work you did on that Slash signature neck break......amazing. I was horrified looking at the break and would had had to hang my head low, and admit that it’s heart had made its last beat.......but you brought it back to life. Skill my man. Skill. I repair gunstocks, and I have learned from just 3 of your videos 10 years worth of education. Awesome. 😇
Great restoration....powerful sense of patience....excellent intuitive skills....and a very fine rendition of "Little Martha"----just perfect! Thank you.
Incredible workmanship. Today was a shit day and seeing this really helped me. There's something about seeing things done right when everything else goes wrong
Now THAT'S a guitar repair video. Very entertaining and informative to say the least. Inspiring video that should be watched by every would be luthier out there. Downright awesome.
I didn’t know what to expect but what I saw was an incredible repair on a mistreated guitar. The gentleman who charged a minimal amount by working off the clock for all the right reasons is someone who did something that we really don’t have the words in the English language to describe. The reward I see is he will have a place in the biggest and best band there is. I see him playing in The Hell Of A Band waiting for him in Rock N Roll Heaven. Thank you sir for staying true to yourself in a world where people have become only numbers. If I make it there I would be honored to asset you in anyway I possibly can in keeping all the instruments in good working order for the band. God Bless Dave
Great craftsmanship. You took a guitar that basically looked like it was junk and repaired all the issues with incredible finesse and care. If I lived anywhere near you I know where I would go for repair on my guitars. Great video I really enjoyed it.
Mr. Woodford, You Sir are a True Artisan! I Love the way You approach a project, then figure out how to record it, then actually complete the project. Bravo!! You are a Beast!
I am astonished by the professionalism and dedication you devoted to that guitar. What a sound! Congratulations on an amazing job. I've seen the small wounds on your hands, the signs of a dedicated Craftsman.
Don't play or have a guitar, but it's fascinating to watch a master craftsman do his thing. Also enjoy his explanation and general banter. Nice! Remarkable transformation of guitar.
What an incredibly satisfying video to watch. I almost felt as if I was in a meditative state. Many thanks for this. I not only appreciated your craftsmanship, but - even more - the fact that you looked on this as a learning experience, one that you deliberately take on from time-to-time. And only charging the customer a nominal fee - what a nice thing to do. Your good karma 'quotient' must be very high. Thanks again.
Truly spellbinding! I’m not sure what was most impressive? His knowledge, his craft skills or his devotion. In this fast, slick, clever world it is such a relief to see something so profoundly honest. Quite inspirational. Thank you. You are a master.
Very satisfying to watch. Great respect for your attitude... Last year I fixed a bad broken neck repair for a friend, when I asked a professional shop for some advice they thumbed their nose and said to throw it away and buy a new one. I pressed ahead into uncharted waters and succeeded to my friend's approval. She was very happy to have her old friend back again. Thanks for sharing that little journey!
As a skilled woodworker and cabinet builder, I see there is no way I have the patience to work on guitars !! Very nicely done. And after remodeling houses for over 40 years I can believe what you found inside....LOL
As an atheist, all I can say is "Praise the Lord for your hands, man!" They're a gift to the world. This video was great. Thanks for putting so much love and care into that instrument.
“Of course, the main challenge is not gluing your fingers to the guitar…”. What a great line, particularly because I’ve been there, done that! Thank you!
It is so satisfying watching you deconstruct, repair and reassemble all of these guitars. It really is a pleasure to watch your work. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Astounding work and you answered the question I always have when I see these videos of someone painstakingly pull off the seemingly impossible restoration repair - this sort of thing is usually too expensive to justify doing the work.
Just did my first fingerboard removal/ truss rod replacement/ refret, on a friends "Guinea pig Donor", DX Martin 12ver, that WAS going into the dumpster. Came out fantastic, and it's back in his show!! God IS good! Gb g
As an enthusiastic amateur repairer working mainly on my own instruments and stuff I 'find', I've been watching your stuff for s while now and progressively going back over your videos as time allows me. I loved this one. The costs don't make any sense, but it is a historical and fairly rare instrument so at some point to the owner the price of the restoration becomes moot. Your attention to detail and sympathetic restoration methods are by far the best I've ever seen. Coupled with your soothing voice and uncluttered narrative you make content that is not only instructive but pure contentment to watch. Thank you!
Never watched a repair this video really helped me understand the foundation of how a guitars put together. It's an art a true professional is at work here.
Sawing off a dovetail joint !! What a hack! I hope it is his guitar he is ruining. Should have been steamed apart, and re fitted with a chisel and shim.
@@wayneilnicki Yeah. Steam would have helped. Which part of "epoxied on" you didn't understand? Maybe actually paying attention to the vid would help ...
This is not the caliber of lutherie an average musician should expect from such a talented craftsman for the price you planned to charge. The rest of us can't expect to receive the same treatment but we can be grateful you shared the process with the rest of the world. The look and sound at the end of the video was reward enough for us. Thank you.
You are an artist. It's amazing how you gave that old guitar a whole new lease of life. And it looked really nice how you finished it with the darker colour on the sides, back and neck
So so cool. You heave a very high levEl of understanding wood and the finishes . You are the only person I would a Trust to restore my 55 & 1947 ... They were very much part of early country music in Canada . It’s time to set things in motion. Thank you for sharing this rebuild. Wow 😊
Much love for your craft. Love to watch people forge knives and repair guitars. Pretty much anything people do to make things last. The cost to repair far outweighed any chance of profit yet you continued on for the love. The end result was a clean beautiful sound and a friend helped out. Double bonus.
@ 1:27 reminds me of an old sign I remember seeing at mechanic shops... "Labor rate- $65/hr... $75/hr if you want to watch.... $95/hr if you already tried to do it yourself"
My 85' Martin J12-40M was gigged for over 25 years, in every kind of venue imaginable. Now every time I open the case, the smell of cigarettes and stale beer slap you in the face, especially at the sound hole. Makes me smile every time, and I wouldn't change a thing. Great work! Thx.
Absolutely Brilliant work Ted, love the off the clock statement, wish there were more like you around, if only you lived closer, you'd be working on my 82 Taylor 12 string, thanks for the Video
Absolutely loved this video. Wish you did more of these almost complete restorations, hopefully you both get a client that is willing to spend the big money, and that they have an instrument your very interested I restoring. As an artist myself I know that when it comes to big jobs it's a requirement for you to be interested and excited to take it on. But once again amazing job, and amazing video.
Glad you mentioned you didn’t charge full price because I kept thinking, “why would anyone want that much work into this guitar.” Amazing view. 2nd to none
It's heartening and pleasantly surprising that people like you, and the person who commissioned this work, still exist. This video should be viewed by people aged 17-25...to give them a view of a perspective that is not typically encountered in high school or college or in the workplace, or anywhere...a perspective that knowledgeable, painstaking, expert skill in restoration and craftsmanship affords the human race beautiful art and architecture and furniture and musical instruments. Plus, you sound like a totally normal guy. Great stuff.
I really enjoyed watching your work on this guitar. Thank you so much for going through all the extra work of making it into such an excellent video. The audio, the steady video, the voice over and every part was so professional that it made watching it so easy. I will definitely be watching more of your videos. Thank you again.
I've been a woodworker longer than I can remember (my father is also a woodworker) but I am NOT a luthier. I do love watching videos like this. The attention to detail and patience is very impressive.
Watching you repair someone else's mistakes and breathing life back into this guitar was thoroughly satisfying
I love how you did the fine repairs on this one for the right reasons. One, doing it for a good customer at a nominal fee, two, for the experience, and three, because you were intrigued and curious at what lay inside. Virtue is its own reward! Fantastic job!

Not being a craftsman myself, I'm always fascinated by the skill and artistry a luthier brings to the process of restoring an instrument.
I don't understand why there are so many thumbs down. That was amazing craftsmanship. Well done!!
Some people are just contrary.

Beautiful. I was immersed in the whole process. Zen and the art of guitar maintenance.
The intonation is amazing. It rings like a bell! It has a warm and middy tone and a peal on top that's just reveling.
The best Luthier I have ever seen. Attention to both detail and quality reflects exemplary work and inspiring to those people who desire to ever become Luthiers.
A real Luthier would never cut the dovetail off the neck , they would do a proper neck set
Dudes a good banger but not a luthier, I think he would admit that
A real luthier would not use tape to glue binding...
This was a pleasure to watch, you are a true artisan and it’s lovely to see such an old instrument get the expert attention it deserves. Thank you for sharing:
Mystical wonders! Unbelievable! Lakes of glue! This whole thing was on the verge of collapse. Hilarious evaluation but so true! Thank God for experts like you. Beautifully done rebuild!!!

For being a trainwreck on the inside it was very well restored. Sounds beautiful.

Geez, this was an incredible demonstration of workmanship, the kind that is as hard to find as gold. Bravo!
Great to see the guitar deconstructed so professionally - I didn't realize that was possible. A labor of love, of course. Beautiful work.
I've deconstructed two guitars. I smashed em.

Taste in music.
Great Job on the repair. It makes me happy that the owner actually plays it and that your work doesn't end up on a wall as decoration.
This was so relaxing to watch, having the right tools for the job is so satisfying
Sir you have genuine integrity and I accuse you of being a GOOD ROLE MODEL-and that is now RARE so-be blessed and stay well !
This is better than anything on TV. I would like to have seen the owner's reaction.
He'll never really know unless he watches the video. Can't see inside.
The rough finish you spoke about, rough and with lanes, works so as to relieve grain stress lessening the chance of split. Very nice work my friend

Interesting. I know a couple luthiers who ended up being cabinet makers because they make more money doing high-quality cabinets.
Beautiful, beautiful work! Thank you for a very inspiring video.
Thank you for the respect you have for every single instrument. You know how much we love our guitars.
It has a nice sound.
A tip: if you need to test out a left handed guitar, play it in the mirror; your reflection will be right handed and able to play it.
Lol
Or play it on your knee
I wonder though... this might actually help a little.
Probably not, but I'm definitely gonna try it once I finish building the left I'm working on.
@@MrJimmyWalsh did you finish it my friend? I am a left handed musician and would love to see it

Thank you for a relaxed, no hype presentation. Captivating from beginig to end.
The best thing I ever found in a guitar was a joint. Well actually, it kinda fell out of the guitar when I was refinishing it.
