- This Washburn put up quite a fight. But in the end I prevailed. I hope you enjoy seeing how it all came together.

Wow, I can't believe the amount of sound coming out of that little guitar. Very nice, nice work!
Many people, myself included are buying up these turn of the century Washburn guitars, with solid aged Brazilian back and side along with
aged Adirondack spruce tops, then having quality luthiers like you, rebuild them into modern top shelf guitars.
Jerry: Thanks for the nice song(and the story). You did bring that old guitar back to life!
Just to let you know, anytime you need to polish metal try using Mother's mag and aluminum polish, it even works on brass and will make aluminum look like chrome, it's some amazing stuff, I've been using it for over 20 years, it even removes scraches from metal. you can even make worn out tuners look factory new, without having to buff your fingers off with a buffer.
SIGH! That song makes me miss Ms. Emeri even more! You're a lucky father-in-law.
I'd never heard of neck shrinkage issues. Gee, I learned something new, again! Thanks, Jerry.
Excellent restoration of the old Washburn guitar. It looks like a well cared for old guitar and sounds great for a small body instrument. Great job on showing the repair work and explaining the process involved. Thanks for sharing your experience with acoustic instrument repair and setup. Nice song.
Jerry, you done a superb job !!! Wish I could write and compose the songs like you !!
Oh, an excellent job on the rebuild, too!!! Master craftsman and luthier !
great video my friend .. really good song
Wow, the dynamics on that thing are absolutely astounding after you finished with it.
I like your tiny little vise!
What an amazing guitar! A survivor.
I love your new take on the Sarah song. I hope you record it in your studio!
Thanks for another vid,,,enjoy your staycation.
57th subscriber LIKE and 485th fan view is what's for lunch... daytime drama: "The Old And The Relentless". :0) The final restoration looks just fine.
Great job... That little Parlor sounds very good...clear, articulate, balanced, open sounding, resonant and good intonation.
Great work once again and I really enjoyed your song.
Again Jerry masterful work as always enjoy watching you work, while at the same time learning a little something here and there. You’re a fine luthier and a true gentleman, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Great work! It has a lovely tone.
My gosh, nicely done! Loved watching the restoration!
Man you're a wicked luither !!! A straight up genius I can't believe some of the wrecks people bring you and you turn them back into beautiful pieces of art that sound amazing!!! Keep it up my man !!!! Do by chance build custom guitars ?
“Wicked”. You must come from Massachusetts, like me, (or Maine). 😊 By the way, Jerry’s about to start on his last guitar, a Dobro-style resonator. No more custom guitar builds, but he has many videos documenting his guitar builds.

Nice song Jerry. That guitar sings as well. That old wood sounds great.
Wow, what a fabulous job , Jerry! Such a gorgeous old instrument, now that you’ve fixed e everything up. Sounds awesome, too!
Great repair Jerry, customer should be very happy.
Nicely done. You're always going the extra mile to make things right.
Really enjoyed this. A very pleasing end result and the song at the end was lovely.
“Dirt Farmer” is one of your best songs, IMO. It reminds me of Hank Williams’ underappreciated “Log Train.”👍
Very cool. Sounds quite nice
One of my absolute favorites, Jerry!
Very nicely done Jerry. You nailed it on keeping it original looking and sounding great!
Fine work Jerry and Yea, I would love to find one of these old parlor guitars. A pleasure to watch your work. and I love the truth you share if its doesn't work out the first time. Very real representation of just how it goes. Thank You
I love these type of guitars. The finish looked perfect and it sounds great.
Beautiful job on that guitar!!! Also enjoyed your song. Best wishes.
I'm surprised how good the tone is. You did an amazing job. 👏👏👏
Jerry I did one of the hardest thing I have done as a Luthier for me anyhow. I had to route out the center strip on the back of a guitar and replace it. Its hard being me. LOL
I really enjoyed this, nice guitar sounds like a small Martin ❤
What a wonderful restoration! Congratulations on a super good job. Sounds really nice. I like your composition too.
I’ve been watching you for about a week now and you are truly inspiring. It makes me wanna go buy a bunch of old acoustic guitars that nobody wants and try to take them apart. Thank you so much for posting these videos. It means a lot to me, your knowledge is amazing.
Sounds Great...what a pro!!! Got a Washburn that was made in the 60s in Japan...super sweet like a hd-28
I gotta quit procrastinating and go finish installing these ridiculous dang Bluetooth accent lights in a customer's vehicle. But in the timeless words of Arnold, "I'll be back"!
Nice Guitar, Great Song. Thank You, Sir 😎
I could watch this channel all day!!!! Awesome job
Awsome, tear jerkin end song,priceles. sendin the love.chuck from Pittsburgh,PA.
Great job Jerry, It was pretty challenging, It's fantastic to see an instrument of that age come to life again.. Fond regards from The Emerald Isle..
fantastic. this mightcould be my favorite youtube 2 part series ever!
NICE JOB!!!
That's a really great result, Jerry!
"Champion" friction tuners were used- assuming these are the original units- and they probably are. I'm not sure if the guitar is the Style 1 or 2- unadorned instruments.
Sounded good Jerry almost good as your singing you really got a good voice an your songs are good
The guitar is forever young, just like you.All the best from Australia, Love from All here.
Thanks Jerry great repair as usual 👍🇬🇧
Absolutely love the comments on the hider glue! It ain't easy bein you!
Have a great day!
I don’t generally care for parlor guitars, but that sounds amazing!
Beautiful work! You have skills young man!
I really appreciate a good craftsman. That fact he can also sing a nice ballard makes it a great bonus for this yankee. I've learned more about how a acoustic guitar goes together.
Bravo Master!You are a guitar wizard!Greetings to all from Siberia!Всем привет из Сибири!
Man you have patience... I reset the neck on an Ovation copy. Currently being used as a cheese grater.
Love your videos
Beautiful
You simply can't hide the fact that hide glue lets go........
Tanks for the upload Jerry
so pleased the neck came out quick for you,never seen that before only seen you fighting for hours trying to get them off
Once again, great job, Jerry. I love those old parlor guitars.
Good job mate
From old junk now with love and care from the master a beautiful valuable guitar with a new life for the next century's to come
good job sounds good
Lovely!
Wow , that little guitar sounds like a full size guitar. Good job.
Hey Jerry, Why didn't you use epoxy on that neck.........LOL 🤣 Beautiful professional work as always.
Comment: I had the same issue with a Washrun 12 string in finding neck opening to remove the neck. I notice your guitar's opening is located in the same place as mine was, and it's far forward of the 12th fret. In the end I had to cut off the fret baord at the 12th fret to see where that opening really was to get steam into that joint as my neck was really stuck on tight. It had been glued down a few years ago with "Titebond". The person that glued the neck back on didn't do a good job in setting the neck right to the propper level it should have been glued in at so a second restet was necessary to get the neck glued in its proper place. I now have that gutar's neck set, and glued at properly the right angle for good string clearence. I was able to re-glue the lower end of the fret baord back in place and cover up all the cutting marks left behind. Turned out not bad. Hard to tell that the fret board was cut off the rest of the board.at the 12th fret. I think you will find that that neck pocket opening is located in the middle between the 11th and 12th frets on Washburn guitars. It seems to be a common thing on these guitars.
Makes me love my 20th century Washburns a bit more.
That's a beautiful guitar, great job!!
Wish we could've got the case done also.
Never seen anything like that
thanks.
I Had The Samething With My Guitar But The Top & The Middle Wh'er Even All I Had To Do Is wedge A Little Elmer's Wood Glue
In Between The Top & Middle. After I Glued It It Stayed Glued. Boy I
Have To Admit That Elmer's Carpenter's
Glue Works Great On Musical
Instroments & Furniture. This Morning
I Sanded Down My Chair. & Now
All I Need To do Is Shelack It.
Hey If You Want To Know What Kind
Of Shelack I Use It's Called
Bullseye Shelack.
Nice you got it ❤
The genre of music y'all play in the videos isn't always my first choice. But Emeri's songs are really good.
that Braz on the back is beautiful
Wish I had the tools to make guitars. I've built one. I'd love to do it properly.
22:16 Sometimes, measuring is better than guessing. The final action is definitely on the high side for a fresh reset and will probably increase over the next couple weeks by 20-30% because it has no truss rod, making it tough to play. I'd advise de-tuning after every play.
Nylon strings too maybe.
Great song BTW
I love this guitar!
Nice job Jerry.
Its funny you said you dont get on with syringes !!!!!! I repair all sorts of mid 17c weapons and frequently come across situations where a syrimge would seem the ideal method BVUT like you I found a small brush works quickly, easier and more effectively than a syringe.
I wonder if the rest of the top where the old hide glue is, might come loose soon? Great work Jerry, you have inspired me to do some guitar repairs myself. Your instruction is much appreciated.
I really enjoy watching all the steps and you are a talented luthier. I have done my share of guitar repairs. No guitar isn't worth fixing [except plastic]. I am wondering why you didn't remove the back on this washburn being it was allready loose.
Good job!
Nice restoration and reset. I know it's been mentioned here already, but I'm pretty sure that 1800s guitars were built and braced for gut (later nylon) strings. Do you think it can hold together with steel strings?
BTW, is that a ladder or X braced top?
Great job on that guitar
It looks almost newish. sounds great for a little guitar.
The old screw shaft was dried out and rusty.
I can relate. 😳🙄
Nice
I believe you've don't more complicated fixes, but this was was fascinating due to the age of the instrument. Did it originally have gut strings?? By the way, I loved the story line in your song!!!
I hope it sounds good when you get finished. "The Hidden Gem" ; )
Hide Glue came through 😂
Jerry,
Have you seen your former protege's, Caleb, use of the "body" clamps as a spreader in his latest video?
No I haven't seen that yet
#hughcaldwell made sure to tell me to watch this. Bless you Jerry.
I have a newer washburn, 2014 i believe… its a good guitar… doesnt look too special, but people who play it are suprised of how easy it is… looking forward to watching your amazing work….
I have a sigma anniversary edition, i would love to pay you to repair.
Yea, Loud resonant singing sound, definitely seasoned timbers by now. !
Was wondering how the intonation worked out. You didn't demonstrate the intonation after installing the new nut and lowering the action.
It isn’t perfect but it is very close.
I just thought you would be able to hear the difference it worked out great
Ever think about some before/after shots at the end? It would allow the viewer to really experience the dramatic difference of your work.
I use 3in1, cause I love the smell.
Great vid(s) as always. I kept waiting to see how you would handle those two notches worn in from the old tailpiece. Did you decide against dealing with them?
Jerry, have you tried the Stewmac saddle slot files, for leveling the bottom of saddle slots?
They come in 1/8" and 3/32", with course and fine file edges.
