Jerry, your "last place you look" comment reminded me of a story my dad told me. Seems this fellow lost his wallet on evening while out for a stroll. So he was under a street lamp looking when a friend walked and asked what he was doing he told him looking for my wallet. Right around here some where, the friend asked. No it was over near the sidewalk. Why look here then, the friend asked. The fellow said , because the light is better.
Btw; It was great watching and hearing your conversation with Eddie, I enjoyed it very much, & as always, I enjoyed seeing the end results of your hard work! Jerry, you are SO FORTUNATE, to have had the privilege, of meeting & doing work for the late, great, Mr. Mike Auldridge!! Though I had the privilege of seeing the Seldom Scene onstage, at least 7 times or more, during Mike's tenure; I never got to meet & greet Mike personally. However; from seeing his demeanor onstage, and hearing lots of good things from those who HAD gotten to meet, Mike; I knew he was a very kind, affable, & humble fellow! Anyway, back about a year & a half, previous to Mike's passing, I bought a GREAT SOUNDING, 1981 Dobro, (in attempt to broaden my ability to play one), which I began trying to do, in the early 1980's. A few years before I purchasing that Dobro, I discovered Mike's Web-Site, & viewed many samples of his GREAT Instructional Videos there, along with info on how to contact Mike directly, to set up personal lessons as well! In that year before Mike passed, (and after I'd purchased that Dobro), I, (not knowing that he'd been battling Cancer during that time), began thinking of setting up personal lessons with Mike, but unfortunately, I procrastinated too long. For like all of us who loved Mike's music, & held him in high esteem, heard the sad news on the evening of that Dec. 31st, that Mike had left us at about 5:00 am the previous morning. I'll always regret not setting up those lessons, as soon as I bought that Dobro!! I like that Steel Guitar by the way, and have been toying with notion of learning how to play one! If you ever decide to sell it, (and if I can come up with enough $$$, I just may talk to you about buying it! Ron Abilene, TX.
If you like what you have, it's worth it. (repair, alterations, whatever) As long as it does not damage the instrument (physically or tonally) Jerry will do it.
Jerry, I have just added the final thing to my bucket list. I am going to plan at trip on my motorcycle from Palm Beach Florida to your rental retreat. I'm going to bring one of the guitars I built and see if you can do a setup on it while I'm there. I will start planning today and try to find an optimal date. That would be a dream bucket list item and a joy to remember.
Awesome neck build my friend and from one wood worker to another birdseye maple necks cannot be beat beautiful job again my friend RSW is #1 in my book !!!
Another awesome video!,! Always very interesting. I do my own work & set ups on my basses. Even redid an old Ibanez, paint,frets, electronics etc...Now you've inspired me to tackle my upright. You see I snapped the neck off 😩😩😩.Thanks for all your videos.👍🏻🎸
Great job. Blessings to Ed, I know what it's like to lose a wife. There's not a day goes by, I don't think, about her. For months I'd think "I can't wait to show this to Cyn." Then you realise she's not there. After 7 yrs, I still think of her. I know she'd be tickled & proud of our grandchildren, especially the youngest, & most rambunctious one.(She's a luthier in training. She's making a video now, On polishing frets, & oiling a fret board!) Any way that neck looks awesome, but I've come to expect nothing less, from Rosa String Works. Well done. I could see how pleased & happy Ed was with the results, the small part of him testing Calebs set up, let me know he's a good guitarist. Blessings to one & all. (Caleb didn't reply to my critique of his playing, on his video. If he wonders, I was trying to be funny. If he didn't think so, he now knows why I chose music over stand up comedy!😉👌)
I lost my first wife & buddy 15 years ago from cancer. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of her or see something that reminds me of her. At first I was afraid I'd loose some of the memories and maybe I've lost a few after all these years but the ones that come back are here to stay and are cherished. Those thought aren't supposed to go away either. There stories you can tell your grandkids as I do with mine. I know your pain, but know those thoughts and stories become more precious as the years pass by. My best wishes to you. And thank you for bringing back some wonderful memories back into the front of my mind as I read your post!
@@richardcooper38 you're more than welcome. She was my biggest fan, I was going to quit music, but she insisted I keep on going. She was the reason I finally parted ways (musically) with my ex bassist. She said "Baby how long have you put up with him, stopping in the middle of recording, & while the tape's running, he starts playing something else? He isn't going to help, you or anyone else."(women seem to cut right to chase. LoL). Yet she was also my harshest critic. Wonderful woman, I didn't deserve her. But I do tell the grandkids about her. They're 13,12, & my little one is 7. Thank you for your kind words. Yes I tend to be long winded, (as the late wife told I was), I appreciate It! Blessings to you & your family.
Would of being quicker to knock up a wooden prop than a guitar neck out of that maple, but what a magnificent job. Love your work Jerry……….. and a little bit jealous Eddy!
Hahaha, late but after watching the intro "It's really HARD wood, it's not carving easily!!" In my head, I heard someone in the background pull starting a chainsaw!!
just a suggestion, If you take a staple gun and use staples that are to long to penetrate to deep, you can clip the staple off at an angle and provide a position pin. Easy peasy.
The outcome on this project was amazing. I prefer just a oiled finish on a lot of woods. I was thinking that your hand might of been doing a little better. I thought that the swelling was less than in other recent videos. Looking forward to hearing the musical event coming up next. Another job well done sir. I learn more with every video. Don't know if I'll ever use this information on a guitar but it's been very enjoyable to watch and collect it. God bless and have a wonderful weekend!
Mercy! You work hard! I wish I were as non-lazy as you. A couple comments/questions though: What do you do to prevent back bow when you glue on the fingerboard? If I don't build in a forward bow, or use epoxy instead of Titebond, I always get a back bow. For that reason I started using double acting rods (Stewmac used to sell a single rod, dual direction rod which I now have to make if I want to avoid using a double rod. I hate double rods because of the weight.). People don't realize how much building guitars is a mental game, requiring a whole lot of planning. Like I always say, "I have to build it in my head before I even touch the wood." Your cavalier, go for it way would scare the heck out of me. I'd get major screw ups. But obviously it works for you. And you don't end up paralyzed with fear to the point of not actually doing the job. Kudos.
Great job on the neck Jerry, really enjoyed this project and can't wait to see how the guitar sounds. That lap steel is an "orphan" neck separated from a multi-neck console steel, the Fender Stringmaster (thus the leg sockets). Also, those chrome pickup covers mean it's an early model, ~1953-4 or so. Very cool and pretty desirable as well. P.S., If you ever want to sell it, I'd definitely be interested!
Amazing work Jerry, you certainly earn your money, i love the fact that you love a challenge and you are certainly up to the task, the neck looks superb, brilliant video. Peace and Love from Bonny Scotland.
wow great work. IDK if you have some but Klein tools makes the best screw drivers. there the electricians ones with the black rubber handles. The tip of them have like microscopic knurls that really bite the screw way better than most screwdrivers.
I never saw what the big deal was about naturally occurring inclusions, as long as the wood is structurally sound. I think it gives a guitar a touch of personality.
Hi Jerry! Just wanted to say that I can hardly believe the sound that was coming from that neck, while you were sanding the heel of it!! I've DEFINITELY never heard anything like that before, & if I'm not wrong, that's a great indication that sound isn't gonna have ONE BIT OF A PROBLEM, transferring through THAT neck!! Am I right??? 😊
Hey Mr. Jerry so how is Mrs. Rosa doing with her motorcycle? She get back used to riding a bike? Please let her know to stay safe and have fun. I have another question for you. Do you ever go fishing in the pond or creek? Would love to see that if you ever can find the time to enjoy a day. You see how I worded that right. Never would I say a day off. Wouldn't want you to fall off your chair laughing and getting injurred lol. OK gone for now. God Bless Y'all.... Stay safe. Thanx for all the cool vids. Appreciate the time you take to make them for us.
I love that birdseye maple neck Jerry :) I'm getting a 10 String Irish Cittern built by Lawrence Nyberg up in Canada .I ask him to make a birdseye maple neck for my up and coming Blackheart Sassafras Irish Cittern. Thanks Jerry for that idea :) I love your video's I always learn something from your video's Cheers Jerry:)
Wow, What an awesome great job you did with the neck & guitar. You said the neck is made from "Curley Maple Wood". Can you use that wood to make the body of a guitar? Eddie seems like a really nice guy also. Seems like you all enjoyed your time together. I truly hope you did. Many thumbs up to this video. Stay well & safe guys. Eddie, I hope you have a safe trip home. God bless you guys.
@Thomas Tommy: "Seems like you all enjoyed your time together." Yes, they did but you said it wrong. The correct phrasing is "y'all". As in, (1-10 people) "Hope y'all have a good time." (10 - large crowd) "Hope all y'all have a good time."
I have no words to describe how well you work and how beautiful are the guitar you Make just unbelievable, I have a question do you have a guitar made by you for sale or you will make one for me I wish I can have one thanks for your shows on you tube for me the best thanks again and let me know.
Beautiful work!! Neither here nor there but if it was going on my guitar I would have had the neck lightly stained to match the guitar. Just my opinion which don't mean noth'n..
Jerry, did you do the neck just for the challenge, I think so, I like your approach, fix it, a repair will always happen again, but once it's fixed it's fixed and that problem will never happen again.
Jerry, when will you finish the 12 string or did I miss something? I saw episode 11, but no further posts for the 12 string build. I am waiting with baited breath.
Simple? 2 Hrs fab time? I don't know Jerry ... easy for you maybe, but this looks more like 2 days of work, not 2 hrs. Excellent workmanship! It's too bad that guitar manufacturers don't put this level of workmanship and perfection to their production models ... but then, I guess much fewer people would be able to afford them.
2:20 Thank you. I wasn't aware at all about the length of the trussrod. Which means the access to the trussrod has to be on the headstock, right?And if the access is on the headstock, the trussrod is shorter then, right? Thanks for any feedback.
6:50 Could you wax the truss rod to keep the glue from sticking? 39:39 Soap has lye in it and will cause corrosion. More so on steel than brass. Wax does not have any corrosive properties.
@@RosaStringWorks No worries, I thought she was a helping with the camera . Guess I was mistaken. Hahahahahaha. Good work on Eddie's instruments by the way. 🎸😎
Question: Does the guitar strap being connected near the peghead, does that increase the pressure and cause problems in the long run? I know it isn't as comfortable as the normal location on the heel. I think I need a strap button screwed into my guitar unfortunately...any thoughts? edit: it's a fairly new d18
I don't recommend tying the strap to the peg head. It definitely puts a lot more pressure on the next joint. It's better to hang it from the next joint and it reduces a lot of pressure
I installed one, on the underside of the heel of the neck,of my old beater acoustic, just as Jerry recommended, in some of his videos. It's a great place to put it. I thought it would interfere with, or be in the way, up at the higher frets, but it doesn't. Mines a "cut away/concert style dreadnaught. In that position it also gives greater balance, & the strap won't slip off. My 335 copy has the button on the back where the the neck meets the body, I'm always worried, it will come loose & nose dive.(perhaps a big reason, Gibson has so many 335 models that have broken headstocks.)
I have attached numerous strap buttons to the bottom of the heels of many acoustic guitars, and Ukuleles. I have never had any problems with them and I cringe whenever I see a strap attached with string around the peg head. "It just ain't right!" 🙂 (IMHO)
Terminology - fretboard or fingerboard? I Googled this and got varying answers. Some bass guys say fretless basses have a fingerboard and fretted basses have fretboards. But mostly they say for guitars the terms are interchangeable.
The video don't show when the truss rod access were made. Showed the peghead all done with the tuners put etc, but no access. And suddenly the guitar is presented with a cap in the peghead.??
That's about the prettiest guitar neck I've ever seen.
Awesome neck fab Jerry. With all the unforeseen problems you had to deal with you nailed it, & the beauty of the birds eye maple can’t get any better.
The wise old sage. Better than anything on TV.
That figuring in the neck is absolutely gorgeous...
Jerry you don't just make Eddy happy but all the folks who watched this video and thank-you so much for that
That may be the prettiest neck I've ever seen!!
The good carving part of that strip is glued in the slot! lol!

Sounds like that guy was out getting more than a stroll. 🤪🥴🥴
I dont think many other luthiers would do a ‘just-wait-for-it-neck-build’ . And a challenging one at that.... loved it.
Held off on part 1 till part 2 was aired, well worth the wait ✋
Part three's out too

Great result. Eddy seems to be a super-nice gentleman.
All of that work must be expensive for the customer but well worth it.
If you like what you have, it's worth it. (repair, alterations, whatever)

That is a one of a kind guitar now and it is a beauty. I love the inlay!
Love the Tee shirt, mine says "I'm not arguing,
I'm just explaining why I'm Right " a gift from a daughter.
Eddy is obviously a man who knows quality when he sees it. And a generous gentleman to boot!
Just found your channel and am absolutely loving your work and all the info on working on these instruments.
Beautiful beautiful work.. Master craftsman jerry

never saw such a beautiful neck!! your work is ferfection. thanks for the video..
Hahaha, late but after watching the intro "It's really HARD wood, it's not carving easily!!" In my head, I heard someone in the background pull starting a chainsaw!!
Wow ..Eddy ... You got one helluva neck there.... almost like putting a Handbuilt Ferrari engine in an old Toyota 👌🏼...ENJOY it Man !
Always a pleasure watching you do your magic.Thanks
Nice to follow the work process and enjoyed the interaction between you two gentlemen at the end. Looking forward to the music in the video to come.
Nice neck build. I love the wood, inclusions and all. I think leaving it raw wood was an awesome choice. And made sense given the time constraints.
I like to use the handheld belt sander to shape the neck. Very quick and easy. No sweating.
just a suggestion, If you take a staple gun and use staples that are to long to penetrate to deep, you can clip the staple off at an angle and provide a position pin. Easy peasy.
My dog left the room when you were blocking the heel 😂
Another great video Jerry thanks for your hard work 👍
God bless you brother.I enjoy your blogs.Havent watched for awhile.
Great job Jerry 👏👏👏👍👌👍🇬🇧
That maple really shines
Great work Jerry, that neck turned out fantastic!
The amazing thing about those glue spreaders is all the other things you can do with them!

Very cool and pretty desirable as well.

I said except for the fretboards and 1/2 a second later you said the same thing. "And I'm not even kiddin'." Lol great video
My name being Eddy made it even better ... Lol ... Great vid Jerry ...
Always enjoy your videos. Thx for your knowledge. 😎👍
Stunning job Jerry. You are DA MAN !!
Amazing work Jerry, you certainly earn your money, i love the fact that you love a challenge and you are certainly up to the task, the neck looks superb, brilliant video. Peace and Love from Bonny Scotland.
You did a good thing Jerry and may have extended his life by some years
Beautiful figured wood it really looks awesome
When I wish to prevent the trussrod from being stuck by glue, I wrap teflon tape around it. The tape that plumbers use.
wow great work. IDK if you have some but Klein tools makes the best screw drivers. there the electricians ones with the black rubber handles. The tip of them have like microscopic knurls that really bite the screw way better than most screwdrivers.
You are so right about wood binding. It far surpasses that plastic junk Martin and many other use.
I've gotten three confirmed new subscribers. Keep sharing!
Just started Pt 2, and thinking yer gonna need a strong truss rod to flex that rock hard wood! Good luck (I know you succeed but still)
I never saw what the big deal was about naturally occurring inclusions, as long as the wood is structurally sound. I think it gives a guitar a touch of personality.
The curve on the back of the headstock is sometimes referred to as a volute. (Carved heel ) 👍
Hi Jerry!
Just wanted to say that I can hardly believe the sound that was coming from that neck, while you were sanding the heel of it!!
I've DEFINITELY never heard anything like that before, & if I'm not wrong, that's a great indication that sound isn't gonna have ONE BIT OF A PROBLEM, transferring through THAT neck!! Am I right??? 😊

Don't know where I heard it, but there's a saying that when you find what you lost you can say, "If it had teeth it would bite."

Awesome work Jerry :)
Thanks!
Jerry, did you do the neck just for the challenge, I think so, I like your approach, fix it, a repair will always happen again, but once it's fixed it's fixed and that problem will never happen again.
I typically use a router to cut my truss rod slot, works good
Putting the tuning keys on ...before... you attach the neck.
Things that only years of experience teach you.
I thought you might have checked intonation before gluing the fret board. I wrote this as I was watching, you will probably say something later.
Jerry, when will you finish the 12 string or did I miss something? I saw episode 11, but no further posts for the 12 string build. I am waiting with baited breath.
It won't be long now but check out the shop talks for details
I can make a custom guitar neck while you wait. Does it have to fit a guitar? How many years can you wait?
Question: Why do banjos only have five strings?
Answer: I counted the strings on mine I thought I had six!
Simple? 2 Hrs fab time? I don't know Jerry ... easy for you maybe, but this looks more like 2 days of work, not 2 hrs. Excellent workmanship! It's too bad that guitar manufacturers don't put this level of workmanship and perfection to their production models ... but then, I guess much fewer people would be able to afford them.

Lots of Dad jokes in this. I am 59 years old and am sitting here laughing my head off.
Did the bridge have to be replaced? I assumed the saddle had to move (a little) to set the intonation.
Believe it or not it was nearly perfect
6:50 Could you wax the truss rod to keep the glue from sticking?
39:39 Soap has lye in it and will cause corrosion. More so on steel than brass. Wax does not have any corrosive properties.
What is your choice of fret wire size for your guitar builds?
Do you ever use Mastadon ivory for the string guide?
What is the purpose of the tube in there?
I noticed u have curve on all your knecks on back of head stock could u please explain why and how?
We can tell Melissa wasn't there, the camera was to dark ,but hey what can you say, it's not easy being you .Hahaha, have a great weekend to all .🎸😎

My 335 copy has the button on the back where the the neck meets the body, I'm always worried, it will come loose & nose dive.(perhaps a big reason, Gibson has so many 335 models that have broken headstocks.)
I have attached numerous strap buttons to the bottom of the heels of many acoustic guitars, and Ukuleles. I have never had any problems with them and I cringe whenever I see a strap attached with string around the peg head. "It just ain't right!" 🙂 (IMHO)
Terminology - fretboard or fingerboard? I Googled this and got varying answers. Some bass guys say fretless basses have a fingerboard and fretted basses have fretboards. But mostly they say for guitars the terms are interchangeable.
Batman wanted a guitar made and he asked the Joker to do it. He built him a ...banjo... LOL
Of course those banjo tuners are geared. They're typical planetary geared tuners.
seems more like birds beak maple cause its hard and it squeeks
The video don't show when the truss rod access were made. Showed the peghead all done with the tuners put etc, but no access. And suddenly the guitar is presented with a cap in the peghead.??
I'm sure it matters to the cat. 😹
