I made and put a mid booster preamp circuit, battery, level pot and all in the sound hole of an early ES 335 once, and had to make it like a puzzle box of a few pieces so it could be removed, you had to take out the battery, remove two screws, turn the tabs and pull it up a bit, and then turn and slide it just the right way for it to come out! I made the wire harness to plug in/out. What a huge job! I also supplied instructions how to remove it, as I was sure anyone trying would have had a very hard time figuring it out, and possibly damage it for believing it can't be done!
Seeing a repairer of your caliber pack it in on a repair that could be a total sink is reassuring to me. So many times I’ve stuck to a repair and lost so much time to it and ended up losing cash because I felt the hit to my reputation, or more aptly my pride, would be worse than being straight up with the customer that I’m not going to be able to do it. Thank you for sharing this video.
I don't cut too many losses anymore by quoting high enough to cover cans of worms, or even having the Client give me carte blanche. I often come in way lower, but take fewer losses. I mean just quoting something like that is a real bitch, because you have to spend a lot of time figuring things out thoroughly before you start making anything, and for not being routine and made from scratch only once, harder to tell just how long it will take. I don't waste my clients, or my own money if I can avoid it!
Papa wants! I'm a bassist, and not even a fan of resonators, but that's a thing of beauty. I love the top and sides, whatever that gorgeous wood is, that tasty little inlay, and the armrest. It's like... I just want it so I can adore it. Prolly better in the hands of someone who can make it sound as good as it looks. ♥
Been following him for over 4 years now, he has had at least 3 L's total that he has shared with us unfortunately. No one wants to see Ted succeed more than me. The best luthier teacher one could ask for.
@@MaxCohen-mx2rf Definitely. The one where he had to build a whole new neck... that had to be heartbreaking. Also the Japanese Epiphone (I think?) where he did a bunch of work only to have the action right about at the same place it started.
I respect Ted as it shows us all even the best cant do everything... and be profitable. In the end, its a business and sometimes you just cant do things you want/need to do because its not a good financial decision. I really was looking forward to the preamp sound, but I suspect it likely wouldnt have sounded much different than the stock pu.
Thank you, Ted. As one that also run's my own shop, it's nice to see that even you can't walk on water. My clients think I can fix world hunger too. Thanks for an honest post.
Bummer. I was about to comment on how great this installment was and then the bad news. It's still great, but I can't help but to feel bad for you. It was a brilliant solution that didn't pan out probably because of a preamp requirement or something. I hate to see your fine craftsmanship get thwarted. Such is life. Thanks for sharing!
I acknowledge that it is a Waste of our Time to reply to Ted in the comments...But Damn, That Guitar sounds FANTASTIC without electric amplification. That said, as a retired physicist, from a family of luthiers... the Soldering (or Soldering) temperature to attach the leads cooked the pre-amp. Saw that one coming the instant you showed us. Still, Thank You Ted, Respect!
My gosh Ted, as someone who shares that same mindset (albeit in a different field) I am impressed you can put it down and walk away. Incredible work though sorry it didn't work out.
Engineer here who works in semiconductor testing. The chips don't always work, even after we have tested them to be good and operational. Don't know if this is your issue of course. Technology can be great and just stink sometimes. Beautiful guitar.
Nothing is more frustrating. There is great wisdom in knowing when to walk away. Beautiful work, as always. If everyone took the care in their work that you do, the world would be a much better place.
As someone who's been in a similar situation in a different field, you have my respect and condolences. Sometimes you just lose, and that sucks. Wish you the best, man.
Great show! It's no fun to pick yourself up and dust off the blues. I tell my students as long as you don't through the instrument your making out in the street after a mistake you can grow!
Elegant solution, well thought out and masterfully executed spoiled by component failure likely insufficient battery power. Great to watch a master at work as always
Wow, so many teachable moments here. The quality of the work (as usual!), the judgement to cut your losses when it hit the wall, and the wisdom of your non-invasive design and planning in the first place.
What a shame. A brilliant display of conserving a superb instrument and still meeting the customer's needs. So unfortunate that it came to nought. For anyone out there who has break angle problems on a reso and doesn't know, the easy and effective fix is to string by feeding the strings from ABOVE the tailpiece so they emerge under the TP and go over the saddles. The TP gives the necessary added break angle. It's inelegant and a faff, but it works. With resos played lap style, break angle is rarely a problem with the more usual stringing method because the saddles are really high.
ohhh man, that pickup cover was just brillant... i'm sad :/ but good for you for knowing when to stop, I hope the owner appreciates the effort (and payed lol )
There are so many different options for holders for CR2032 batteries - and all of them with far less overhead than the holder you have selected. Perhaps the best option would have been the vertical CR2032 holder. EDIT_ sorry, I see now that you don't want any suggestion regarding this particular pre-amp situation. Well, maybe my suggestion will be of value to someone else.
Being in a service and repair business for 30+ years, one thing I learned,.......a new part doesn't guarantee a good part! Thanks for the videos. I look forward to them each week!
It's quite a man who can admit to being in over his head. It's something else entirely to be confident enough to show that shortcoming with the world. I show up to see a skilled craftsman at the top of his game, but this is so much more. Thank you for sharing.
Ouch tough break on this job. Sometimes things don't work out and it must have been really hard for you to leave it unfinished. I appreciate your skill and sharing the ups and downs of the job. It's kind a of gritty, almost dirty side of luthier life that we don't see often. Sort of like... "CSI: LUTHIER", if you will.
Dang that sucks, i hate when a project doesnt work out. Hopefully you gave the customer that neat little thing you made, cause if i was him, id wanna try to get it working on my own even if you couldnt keep working on it. Probably the cheesy battery holder or something little like that.
You know, it wouldn’t surprise me if Les Schatten is a member of the channel and would have been willing to help get that circuit working. A very clever guy and has been very helpful to me in the past. Worth a call to Waterloo!
Really happy he posted this, I really wanted to see it work. That said, I just wonder what the customer outcome was. He brought it in for a pre-amp install and only got a restring and set up. Who took the loss on the parts? Likely the owner agreed to the filming too, imagine boasting to your friends while watching the video, that you own the guitar that got the better of Ted Woodford :)
This is one of my favorite videos in a while. That was some awesome custom work, hated to see it not work and was surprised. Ol well can’t win em all. Guitar sounded great though. Thanks for the content.
Hello. I’m new to your channel and have been gorging myself on your videos! I love your work, and your knowledge. I have learned so much from watching you and mostly listening to you talk about guitar history. I am an older amateur player, I was a bassist in the 1960-70s, but now just play guitar for pleasure. I just wanted to thank you, I enjoy watching you work, you are an artist. Thank you, especially for spouting little interesting bits of history (Martin, Gibson, and guitars in general). I actually use your videos as a way to relax, sort of a meditation 😀 Thanks!
I'm sad to see it play out this way. But I can tell you that this video evoked more emotion in me than the usual success story. The project may not have worked out. But the story told was a winner. Thanks for the great content.
knowing when to through in the towel is pure wisdom. Although things didnt go according to plan, you still made a great video.Im just very happy to see you back. Thank you
From what little I know, a reso should have soundhole(s). Te highs tend to come out of the cone, the lows from a soundhole, as anyone who ever tried to mic it should know. Sorry for my poor self taught english, thanks and cheers for another excelent video.
Yup, same with automobiles. Sometimes, new parts are bad. My bet is the battery holder. Something is jumping inside. Ho-hum. ✨️✨️✨️💁♂️💁♂️💁♂️🍸🍸🍸🤔🤔🤔😜😜😜🐒🐒🐒😎😎😎
Hey there! Cheers from the South Carolina Lowcountry! Been watching for two years. My wonderful friend that plays bass with me retired from Gruhn Guitars(luthier).
Somehow sounds odd that some amp would work either 9V or 6V with just smaller battery capacity. It would be closer to normal that it would be a lot quieter and whatever is the capacity difference between CR2032 and 9V (as the CR2032's are in series it doesn't double the capacity). Third away from the voltage seems a huge difference that could definedly affect the performance of the amp.
Thank you for another informative & interesting video, I always smile when I see that you have released another one and sit myself down comfortably so that I can watch it. This is such a beautiful guitar and, as usual, your work was of superb quality, how frustrating to be derailed by non functioning electronics. I am sure that if you had no time pressures (like us hobby guitar builders/repairers) you would have solved the mystery. One of the downsides of earning your living by being a luthier is that you don't have the luxury of infinite time to expend on a task like this.
As a recent subscriber I am learning something from each vid. A lesson about cutting one's losses is a good lesson! Since I only work on my own guitars, I am able to put the work aside, then come back days later and try something else. All I lose is time!
What a bummer! I too have the mind to keep fighting with crap like that, I am not getting paid, nor does my livelihood depend on how much time I spend on a project that is being difficult. But even then I say screw it, and move on eventually. Good call on this one, you did try, it just wasn't going to work out.
_curses!_ still, it _has_ to be solvable; maybe the customer can take that beautifully made preamp module creation to somebody who's deeper into the electronics side of things to puzzle out, salvaging at least some of all that work done
Man, that control module you did was headed for greatness. I understand you setting it free. I am very surprised you didn't mock up the rig outside the guitar to test it worked prior to doing the woodworking, you usually do the proof of concept
He said he tried numerous things off-cam, putting it together and taking it apart, etc. I'd be stunned if that wasn't part of his testing, albeit after the woodworking. I got the impression the pre tested ok. If it was a dud it wouldn't be a mystery. Just get another one.
I guess Ted's head got hung up on "will this stuff fit in the soundhole?". He somewhat got two proof of concepts on his hand and unconsciously choose the wooden one.
End music very reminiscent of intro to "lola vs powerman" by the Kinks, an album defined by its acoustic resonator sound, "lola", Apeman", "this time tomorrow" , etc. Grateful that 8trak tape (&BBKing "Indianola Miss.") were the 2 tapes in the family station wagon
Love your channel Ted! Dare I presume you return the instrument along with the non-functioning parts and let the owner try to get it functional somehow?
Not one response of any kind to any of the comments in any video of yours I have ever watched. You really are a highly skilled luthier, and probably more skilled than any of us will ever know. Of course, you already know that. You are so full of yourself, Ted.
You cannot state such palpable frustration and immediately follow with such a cheery tune.
😂
The foresight in making all the changes reversible paid of. A very pretty guitar survived the surgery without any unsightly scars.
I made and put a mid booster preamp circuit, battery, level pot and all in the sound hole of an early ES 335 once, and had to make it like a puzzle box of a few pieces so it could be removed, you had to take out the battery, remove two screws, turn the tabs and pull it up a bit, and then turn and slide it just the right way for it to come out! I made the wire harness to plug in/out. What a huge job!
I also supplied instructions how to remove it, as I was sure anyone trying would have had a very hard time figuring it out, and possibly damage it for believing it can't be done!
Seeing a repairer of your caliber pack it in on a repair that could be a total sink is reassuring to me. So many times I’ve stuck to a repair and lost so much time to it and ended up losing cash because I felt the hit to my reputation, or more aptly my pride, would be worse than being straight up with the customer that I’m not going to be able to do it.
Thank you for sharing this video.
Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug.
Knopfler didn't sell his National ... or the white 'Bug' Fenderschecter!
Lol
This is what makes you wiser than all of us Ted... you understand cutting your losses. You didn't break anything, it's a win!
Some things are not to be...I get the feeling Mr Ted knew that at the start. 👍
"Stop the bleeding" is the phrase I've heard at my shop.
I don't cut too many losses anymore by quoting high enough to cover cans of worms, or even having the Client give me carte blanche. I often come in way lower, but take fewer losses. I mean just quoting something like that is a real bitch, because you have to spend a lot of time figuring things out thoroughly before you start making anything, and for not being routine and made from scratch only once, harder to tell just how long it will take.
I don't waste my clients, or my own money if I can avoid it!
What an absolutely gorgeous guitar! Hats off to the workmanship of Tony Karol.
Papa wants! I'm a bassist, and not even a fan of resonators, but that's a thing of beauty. I love the top and sides, whatever that gorgeous wood is, that tasty little inlay, and the armrest. It's like... I just want it so I can adore it. Prolly better in the hands of someone who can make it sound as good as it looks. ♥
It was even beautiful inside. Fine craftsmanship.
Bummer! So much elegant work, and so close.
First time I’ve seen Ted take an L. It was beautiful work, too. What a drag.
Been following him for over 4 years now, he has had at least 3 L's total that he has shared with us unfortunately. No one wants to see Ted succeed more than me. The best luthier teacher one could ask for.
@@MaxCohen-mx2rf Definitely. The one where he had to build a whole new neck... that had to be heartbreaking. Also the Japanese Epiphone (I think?) where he did a bunch of work only to have the action right about at the same place it started.
I respect Ted as it shows us all even the best cant do everything... and be profitable. In the end, its a business and sometimes you just cant do things you want/need to do because its not a good financial decision. I really was looking forward to the preamp sound, but I suspect it likely wouldnt have sounded much different than the stock pu.
Such a shame after so much skilled and thoughtful work.
The hardest lesson I had to learn while running my various businesses was to quit while you were a little behind instead of a lot behind.
As has been mentioned, I would bench-test that preamp at 9v just to satisfy my curiosity. Thanks for all that you do, I'm learning a lot.
If 6 was 9 ..but not in electronics.
I'm just in favor of testing the micropre and be sure it works as it should.
Thank you, Ted. As one that also run's my own shop, it's nice to see that even you can't walk on water. My clients think I can fix world hunger too. Thanks for an honest post.
Even though it didn't work out in the end, the work involved was pure genius! I never get tired of watching these brilliant videos.
Bummer. I was about to comment on how great this installment was and then the bad news. It's still great, but I can't help but to feel bad for you. It was a brilliant solution that didn't pan out probably because of a preamp requirement or something.

Ahh the meditative cure to my otherwise sour mood! Welcome back Ted! You have been missed.
That guitar did not want this modification. Thanks for a great video.
Too bad that didn't work, because that was some masterfully creative problem solving.
That's a shame.. that preamp plug you made was beautiful
I acknowledge that it is a Waste of our Time to reply to Ted in the comments...But Damn, That Guitar sounds FANTASTIC without electric amplification. That said, as a retired physicist, from a family of luthiers... the Soldering (or Soldering) temperature to attach the leads cooked the pre-amp. Saw that one coming the instant you showed us. Still, Thank You Ted, Respect!
This is precisely why you need a Patreon account to give you some cushion for the added effort that goes into some of the more exotic projects
That guitar string clamp is genius. Great video, all challenges included.
You did curse like the Dad in the Christmas Story. "Bert Reynolds Blarg! "
Oh, man! Wasn’t expecting that. Why am I feeling sad?😢 That was so brilliant. The way you designed those controls to fit into that port was amazing.
And the difference between you and me, is, I’m not smart enough to know when to stop.
My gosh Ted, as someone who shares that same mindset (albeit in a different field) I am impressed you can put it down and walk away. Incredible work though sorry it didn't work out.
It's a joy to watch and appreciate great workmanship! Thanks again Ted! Top notch.

Hey Ted, I assume that's Koa Wood. Appreciate you work and Craftsmanship. You are running a great Channel. Best Regards Nik
As someone who's been in a similar situation in a different field, you have my respect and condolences. Sometimes you just lose, and that sucks. Wish you the best, man.
What a lovely panel cover; it’s worthy of a dashboard of a vintage Rolls Royce.

I've been jonesing for another twoodfrd video. Thanks, Ted!!
Same. If lost count of the times lately that someone in the family yells “You’ve watched that one twice already!” at me. LOL
This one of those times when you need to "not fix what isn't broken".
What a shame. A brilliant display of conserving a superb instrument and still meeting the customer's needs. So unfortunate that it came to nought. For anyone out there who has break angle problems on a reso and doesn't know, the easy and effective fix is to string by feeding the strings from ABOVE the tailpiece so they emerge under the TP and go over the saddles.

With resos played lap style, break angle is rarely a problem with the more usual stringing method because the saddles are really high.
I can hardly imagine what a pain this was, thank you as always for sharing 👍
I totally feel your frustration, stopping is a good thing at some point!
ohhh man, that pickup cover was just brillant... i'm sad :/ but good for you for knowing when to stop, I hope the owner appreciates the effort (and payed lol )
So frustrating that didn't work out Ted, It was a really neat solution in theory.

You got to know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em, know when to walk away, and know when to run...

No, we can't!
If Ted can‘t do, who else?!! 😲
Brave decision! 💪
Ouch. Sorry that didn't work out. Still, thank you for taking us along for the ride.
Yup, same with automobiles.
Sometimes, new parts are bad.
My bet is the battery holder.
Something is jumping inside.
Ho-hum.
✨️✨️✨️💁♂️💁♂️💁♂️🍸🍸🍸🤔🤔🤔😜😜😜🐒🐒🐒😎😎😎
I really like the work you did to mount that amp, battery and controls - nice !
The owner wouldn't pony up the extra $ to see this through?
So frustrating, I can relate to losing money on a job.
“Good times, bad times/You know I’ve had my share…”
Such a pure tone. I would just mic it.
100%
Thanks Ted. Always enjoy your videos and appreciate your work and ingenuity.
Very sorry about the defective parts. WHat a fckn drag! It was an elegant solution that you put so much thought into.
I'm forlorn of the resonator. I hope the customer can still use the first piezoelectric for the instrument still works?
That was a brilliant idea. In some alternate universe it is working.
Hey there! Cheers from the South Carolina Lowcountry! Been watching for two years. My wonderful friend that plays bass with me retired from Gruhn Guitars(luthier).
Wow. Sorry about the outcome brother. I was excited to see her work.
Somehow sounds odd that some amp would work either 9V or 6V with just smaller battery capacity.

I was thinking the same thing. 450 mAh vs 1200 mAh is a pretty considerable difference.
My cousin Andrea lives in Mississauga. Uncle Bobby and Aunt Gloria are in St. Catherines not very far from Ted in Hamilton.
You sir, are a magician. Fine attention to detail.
Damn fine engineering Ted. Most days you're the windshield, today you're the bug.

You keep it interesting. That’s why I keep coming back.
That’s a shame things didn’t go as planned. A lot of very creative work went into it.
"Some days you get the bear and, somedays the bear gets you". I feel your pain.
Having a stressful day spinning plates in work - this is the just the cure for that!
I love the sound of a resonator so much more than a typical Martin or Gibson
As a recent subscriber I am learning something from each vid. A lesson about cutting one's losses is a good lesson!
Since I only work on my own guitars, I am able to put the work aside, then come back days later and try something else. All I lose is time!
Amazing work. Shame it didn't end up well, but still beautifull craftsmanship.
What a bummer! I too have the mind to keep fighting with crap like that, I am not getting paid, nor does my livelihood depend on how much time I spend on a project that is being difficult. But even then I say screw it, and move on eventually. Good call on this one, you did try, it just wasn't going to work out.
My dad taught me as a kid, you need to learn when to cut your losses. Seems like good advise all things considered...
Bummer that didn't work. I thought your idea for the battery and controls was really neat.
Very much appreciate this video and lesson
_curses!_ still, it _has_ to be solvable; maybe the customer can take that beautifully made preamp module creation to somebody who's deeper into the electronics side of things to puzzle out, salvaging at least some of all that work done
Oh bummer! I wonder if the preamp was dead on arrival. More and more, brand new parts come that way. So sorry it didn't work out.
Aw man! That sucks. It was such an elegant solution!
Man, that control module you did was headed for greatness. I understand you setting it free. I am very surprised you didn't mock up the rig outside the guitar to test it worked prior to doing the woodworking, you usually do the proof of concept
He said he tried numerous things off-cam, putting it together and taking it apart, etc. I'd be stunned if that wasn't part of his testing, albeit after the woodworking. I got the impression the pre tested ok. If it was a dud it wouldn't be a mystery. Just get another one.
You lost me at 6V powering a 9V circuit. I will be quiet now.
I guess Ted's head got hung up on "will this stuff fit in the soundhole?". He somewhat got two proof of concepts on his hand and unconsciously choose the wooden one.

This guy is one of the few people out there that could listen to an old Fed meeting with Alan Greenspan and not need a dictionary or thesaurus~
Love your channel Ted! Dare I presume you return the instrument along with the non-functioning parts and let the owner try to get it functional somehow?
So awesome! I really loved this one.❤
Absolutely gutted for you Ted.
I'd be amazed if everything worked out perfectly every time...I appreciate your honesty.
