What a great tribute to the late owner to get his guitar in tip top shape to leave as a legacy, and the song with the photos at the end left me with a lump in my throat. Very nice Jerry.
Great job, Caleb! The number of times you repeated it, I could almost hear Jerry saying to you "Move the knife side to side..... NOT UP AND DOWN!". Following your excellent "apprenticeship" with Jerry, I understand that you have started your own repair channel. I'll be sure to look you up!
You finished that up nicely smoothed out all the rough edges. It's the attention to the little things that make the difference. It sounds heavenly. Jake's no doubt smiling down from above.
@@zapa1pnt Souls have thoughts... but upon entering heaven worry and concern are left behind. Love is eternal and lives on. So yes Jake could be looks down smiling.
IMHO there is a lot of, " that's the way we've always done it!", that gets in the way of modern ingenuity and technological advances. The hubris of old makers was their belief that their creations would outlive them. The reality is that their creations have outlived them through the efforts of a dedicated few whose efforts have preserved them. Makers are reluctant to share their techniques and so it is left to the restorers to document best practices and share their observations and techniques to improve and keep this craft alive now and into the future.
That is one of the best sounding Gibson's I've heard. I like the bridge plates you make, better than original. When it comes to some collectors, it is important that the guitar has the original bridge plate. I don't know why. They say that a guitar worth 250k is only worth 25k if it doesn't have the original bridge plate. Well I guess if you are a collector like that, just keep it in the case or hang it on a wall or display case. If you want it playable, do what needs to be done to play it, end of story.
Not only for the splendid job you did, but for the magnificent tribute you made to its deceased owner I take my hat off to you, Mr. Rosa. And also to you, Caleb for the equally splendid groundwork you laid in forging JJ's legacy.
Your show repairing Jake Jacob's guitar was inspirational. With the song at the end resulted in bringing me close to home. Enjoy everything you do. Thank you
Jerry, I'm so sorry for the loss of Jake Jacobs, he looked like a really good guy. I got a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes at the end, when you sang that lovely song and scrolled the pictures Jake. What a terrible thing covid is, it's been taking some good people from all of us. I know very few people who haven't been touched by this dreadful disease, I've had it twice myself. It gave me stage 3 COPD, and I'm still struggling with it.(O² daily). I get severely winded just walking to the mailbox and back. Hopefully it will mutate into something less deadly and harmful, and stop killing or injuring us. God bless you and Caleb for fixing this guitar up for Jake's legacy.
1 tip,, don't separate the back cold,,, you'd be surprised how clean it comes off with a simple thing as a hair dryer--- won't damage finish and greatly reduces all that tear away.
You forgot the JJ initials at the 12th fret. Never mind. I found you put them on the truss rod cover on a video from a couple of months ago. Looks really good that way.
I’m itching to build an acoustic now :) BTW Jerry, i’ve got a lot of good feedback on my electric guitar build series, and i just honestly reply that i merely translate and put to use everything i’ve learned from you and some other luthiers. Thank you a lot!
that was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes, thanks for doing the repairs to you both, and thanks for the song at the end. Some call it Heaven I call it Home. from my generation it was awesome. From Canada. Take Care. PS whoever is getting this Guitar You are getting a beautiful gift sent right from Heaven. Please cherish it and please play it as often as you can.
Why did the JJ inlay at the 12th-fret get moved to the truss rod cover? I seldom see you verifying intonation at the first fret also. I encounter many instruments where the nut position is a bit off and to get everything to intonate correctly I need to compensate for the nut location also. This is particularly true with older instruments.
dont try that trick with the zippo can with acetone jerry i am a gunsmith and thought the same thing it eat thrue it in 30 minutes and made a mess on my bench lol
Yeah, his time with Jerry ended about 6 weeks ago, but I understand that he has started his own repair channel under his own name: Caleb Mills (I think!).
@@zapa1pnt Wow, that long ago! It seems like it was just a few weeks ago! I suppose Jerry had work recorded and fed it in over time so it appeared like he was there longer! I remember watching the "Shop Talk" when he left...... there wasn't a dry eye in the workshop that day... I doubt much actual work was done that day!
Makes you wonder just how well Gibson builds their Guitars. Sorry not a Gibson fan. A Stradivarius can make a Violin that last hundreds of years and Gibson can't make a Guitar last a 100 without falling apart.
Totally different instrument and not comparable really. String tension on a guitar is massive compared to a gut strung violin and if you look at classical guitars they hold up much better than steel strung.
Most strads have had some work, you simply can't get an instrument that old without some cleats. Also they're different as they're experiencing downward pressure on a small, arched soundboard with a soundpost that supports it from underneath. Meanwhile a guitar top is way wider, with sideways and twisting and upwards pressures all over the place, all while being totally free floating. Even an archtop would only be somewhat comparable.
I could hear Patsy Cline singing that last song... Very moving! I gotta be honest; she'd a done a little better; lol! 😊 As is often the case, you got the job done with what you had; touching!

Not likely. If souls in heaven thought about things here on earth (even family), it wouldn't be heaben

What a treat! Great young man with a refreshing attitude!
You turned me on to those blue shop towels several years ago. They are wonderful. I recommend them 100%.
Fatigue on all fronts, song, guitar and commentary! God bless his family and yours Doc!
Great to see Caleb again. Sorry about the circumstances that left this Gibson and memories for the family.
He has his own channel, it's not as frequent as RSW, but he does a good job. He learned well.
@@willmorrison1022 yes, I know, but thanks Will.

Extra fine work by Caleb finished by the master, I love the sound, muted or not.

Amen, Jerry. Beautiful song.
Wonderful work on the guitar, i'm sure Mr. Jacobs would be very happy. That was a wonderful tribute too!
Glad the wax tip worked that I told you about. I rub the tip in microcrystalline wax and it works spot on most of the time.
great work! it definitely has that unique Gibson sound! RIP JJ.
Nice tribute! My condolences to J.J. family.
Great job Caleb and Jerry. A fitting tribute to JJ.... thanks for the content.
Great set of videos for a wonderful cause. Beautiful tribute song!
You are the man! Thank you for sharing!
Lots of attention to the details. Thanks for showing another fine restoration!
Beautiful dedication Jerry in loving memory of Jake

My uncle had a jewelry store and did watch and clock repair, lighter fluid was what he used for cleaning too.
Great result both! And beautiful song 👍
Such a bittersweet tribute. Nice song, Jerry.
I call it home...Thanks Jerry...Great work...

Hi Jerry & Caleb;
Great job guys! This guitar has a great tone. Your work has really paid off. Thanks for the video.
Lovely job Jerry. All the best mate
Love it! I also love the longer videos, it gives me something to do.
Excellent work, Caleb. This guitar is now better than when if left the factory!
Great work and a touching tribute Jerry.
Hey Jerry, you did a great job training your apprentice Caleb. Looks like he did a great job.
Nice tribute to JJ and repair on the Gibson guitar.
Great video Jerry God bless you JJ
God Bless Him.
Beautiful tribute …..
Great music! It's a good fine thing you guys did on that guitar
Perfect tribute, that guitar will be 'heaven' for the next JJ.
Jerry, that j50 sounds great ! 👍
Good to aeeyou Caleb!
I suppose a plywood bridge plate was used as a safe cost cutting measure, as it's really difficult for the potential customer to see what's there.
You forgot the JJ initials at the 12th fret.
Never mind. I found you put them on the truss rod cover on a video from a couple of months ago. Looks really good that way.
Very nice tribute
I’m itching to build an acoustic now :)
BTW Jerry, i’ve got a lot of good feedback on my electric guitar build series, and i just honestly reply that i merely translate and put to use everything i’ve learned from you and some other luthiers. Thank you a lot!
A wonderful accomplishment

Good thought about Heaven Havens how nice! 😊

Great ending. Well, as well as it can be. RIP.
rest with the lord JJ
💚 Looking good.
Good job brother
Great band Jerry
wonderful wood working .
very good work
Nice job from you and Caleb here. What happened to the 'JJ' inlay at the twelfth fret Jerry?
I'm guessing he meant the truss rod cover. . .
The truss rod cover is a better place for that,
Did I miss the carving down and shaping of the braces?
Jesus is Lord. Bless you Jerry.
Did Caleb not scallop the X brace in some way? Also, it's odd to see the master having to clean off the glue residue. That's the apprentice job.
Great video.
Gibson has a radius on it’s top
You, still, have to hold it flat, when you glue the bridge plate on.
Thought the inlay went on the 12th fret
I’m glad he chose the TRC instead. If the guitar was ever sold it’d make a difference.
yes sounds good to me and good job
dont try that trick with the zippo can with acetone jerry i am a gunsmith and thought the same thing it eat thrue it in 30 minutes and made a mess on my bench lol
Bravo my friend ;)
Padauk for the win
thumbs up
Could anyone tell me where I might get one of the tapered feeler gauges that Jerry is using ?
Look on Amazon. They aren't cheap, though. Be sitting down when you look at the prices.
Only really good for the outside strings and your much better off with a good quality string gauge.
@@stu-j Good point. And I'll bet they are a lot cheaper.
@@willmorrison1022 yeah a lot cheaper
Insize 4630-1E $60 - $65.
What do you mean Caleb left. Where did he go?
Finger NAIL grooves!!!
👍
What?? Where did Caleb go?
He has his own channel, Caleb Mills .
Caleb left at the end of December '21.
Where’s Caleb.🤔is he all gone🙈
Yeah, his time with Jerry ended about 6 weeks ago, but I understand that he has started his own repair channel under his own name: Caleb Mills (I think!).
He has a channel under Caleb Mills. Less prolific than Jerry so far.
He has his own UA-cam channel
