You deserve a Purple Heart for this job. Body looks deeper than a dreadnought.

I’m Bob and I Love watching you…….you have some cool techniques……
thanks for posting…..
anyway back in the day…..in 1979 I befriended an owner
of a music store in Bakersfield, California……. (FRONT PORCH MUSIC)
that’s where I met Bill Gruggett……..Bill worked for Semie Moseley…….
Semie’s the owner……cofounder of Mosrite guitars…..whom I met in
1980?…….anyway Bill Gruggett was repairing guitars…….on Sundays
I would go to his house and worked for free…….boy did I learn a lot
from Bill……..Bill passed away in 2012 Oct. 7…… there’s a good
article on Bill Gruggett on “Vintage Guitar Magazine”……
Anyway Stay Frosty……..

Another really nice job. I never thought I would see anyone start a trend of using HHG! The superior solution to so many glue ups. I replaced some Van Ghent tuners on a Martin D-12-20 with Golden Age from Stew-Mac, and they’re so smooth that there’s no more pitch jump when tuning the low G string to pitch. It tunes right up to the note just as nice as you could want. I’m very happy with them.

[@harpethguitar]

Thanks a lot John!

[@bldallas]

Amazing job. It was a good example, too, of doing it the right way (you) vs going it the quick and easy way (the guy before you with the thick gooping of hot glue gun and stuff like the wood screwed bridge block. You really did a fantastic job of restoring the guitar, not just fixing it.

[@harpethguitar]

Thanks 😊 he was a happy lad!

[@samhawksleymusic]

Great job. The neck joint was like the one on the parlor guitar I pulled the neck on a few months ago (texted you a photo ) I learnt a few things from watching your excellent work on this

[@harpethguitar]

Thanks Sam! Those sons-a-guns are keeping us on our toes! 🦶

[@dougmaccormack9485]

Bravo! good save on that neck joint! I use cold fish glue a lot but I may look into hot hide glue in my shop as well. thanks great job!

[@harpethguitar]

Thanks for watching Doug!

[@markfogleman8438]

Nice!

[@harpethguitar]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@matthewatkinson7558]

Cool project. Looks like fun.

[@user-qn6dn1ht4j]

I'm worried that with no overcompensation in the neck set, the neck will settle with a too high action,

[@user-oo2wf7cf6h]

Yes, everything is fine and interesting. But why is the maximum permissible string height at the 6th at the exit? It is not clear. Since over time this distance may increase even more. 7/64 "or almost 2.8 millimeters at the 6th: It will be too much.

[@Banjo-Tom]

What are the jacks you are using for inside the guitar?

[@harpethguitar]

Axe jacks and & StewMac scissor jack

[@EbonyPope]

Why did you replace the bridge?

[@harpethguitar]

It had a piece fretwire for a saddle and a big crack
