    Holy crap. My friend brought that guitar into Elderly for that restoration and shared the video. Absolutely amazing.

    Elderly instruments is such a great resource for Bluegrass Music. You guys have it all. I enjoyed every minute of this rebuild. Off to it's new home. Job well done. Joe really knows what he's doing. 🇺🇸🎩🇺🇸🎩🇺🇸

    Sounds and looks great, a nice piece of history for sure. I hope someone that plays ends up with it! So many great pre-war instruments are in collectors vaults dying away. A guitar is a living thing and needs play to keep it awake!!

    I purchased a 1939 D-18 authentic. Hopefully it will patina like this in 83 years

    I enjoy these videos. It has been 3 months since the last. Any plans for more?

      Yes, sorry for the extended break. We have scheduled and canceled video shoots a few times over the last two months due to logistics issues. Joe and I plan to film tomorrow morning, so keep holding on and thanks for watching! -A.J.

    Could you share the rough cost of this restoration? If I ever find one of these in an old attic (in my dreams) I want it refurbished just like this!

      With the holidays and increased COVID precautions, Joe and I have decided to hold filming until January. I saw a few potential instruments that we may be filming, he's got some cool projects lined up! Thanks for watching. -A.J.
