I’ve had my Silvertone for ages, but it was destroyed by Delta so I used their Delta Tape for the patch - haha.
I sent a photograph of this to the rather wonderful Scott Baxendale who re-manufactures Harmony’s and Silvertone’s. Scott does these beautiful conversions where he takes off the top and puts brand new struts and bracing in. He can take a guitar that sounds dull and turn it into one that has a more rounded and sophisticated tone but still sounding absolutely beautiful.
So we are sending him my Silvertone and he’s going to work his magic on it. Luckily for us, they were kind enough to film their re-manufacturing process!

Did you get the notification? Let me know and leave a comment below! I'll do my best to respond to each and every one of you!
Yep I got notified!
Absolutely!!! Delta tape... hahaha I'll try that on my tape machine emulator. Haha
yup went well.
now you sound so spanish when you play that guitar! ^_^
Yes, got your mail and the YT notification as well.
Sure did. Great video! Congrats on getting it brought back to life!
The smile on Warren's face tells it all.Happy for you Warren.
Todd Glosser Thanks ever so much my friend!!
What an incredible talent, I hope that made up for the devastation when Delta smashed it? Can't wait to try it out next week, the tone at the end was so nice!
It's in the studio waiting for you Michael! haha
@@Producelikeapro I'm expecting an episode with Michael haha
Better than before! Congrats and happy new year!
Hi Rene Wijgh agreed 109%!
Rene Wijgh P.S Happy New Year!!
It lost its personality and now sounds like a $200 Yamaha. Go figure,
8:03 Money cant buy that feeling....... Congratulations Warren. I am so happy for you...
Huge respect for Scott for that magic...
Best Regards Thomas
Thanks ever so much Thomas! Yes, Scott did an amazing job!!
A lovely result. More than a restoration, it really has been enhanced with a new fret board, the tail piece is gone, new tuners, scalloped X brace. Clearly, a lot of attention to detail went into the work. This one sounds like it will record well.
Hi David yes Sir! It’s already on a few records!! More to come!
How an acoustic guitar records and sounds has been my mission since I started in 1974. I like it when you don’t have to EQ much or add tons of compression yet still have the guitar sit in the mix and sound balanced and full. These all birch models have a very nice focused sound that seems to have its own natural compression. Every note has the same amplitude and clarity without the guitar being tiny or bass heavy. Most Martin D-28’s require substantial EQ cut on the low end to keep it from sounding tubby. These guitars don’t have that issue.
Scott Baxendale A good recording guitar is worth it’s weight in gold. Players can spend their entire life buying and selling guitars to find the right one. Being able to get this in a vintage guitar, with a long service life ahead of it, is a big plus.
Wow, what a difference! Incredible. Great video, thanks Warren.
Thanks Marc!! Yes, Scott and his team do amazing work! Glad to be able top show it!!
I've got 2 Baxendale Harmony conversions and they're both amazing. Thanks for the video and for highlighting Scott's great work!
Wow! Yeah! Scott does an amazing job with his guitars!
James is a great friend of the shop!
I've never seen a guitar rebuilt. That was amazing and Mr Baxendale is both an excellent craftsman and an amazing artist.
Scott is phenomenal Jürgen!
@@Producelikeapro Just out of curiosity, why did you remove the like? Did I say something wrong?
I was taken on a tour of Scott Baxendale's Luthier School Workshop. There were instruments there being rebuilt that they chose to not divulge who owned them.
Awesome video... down to the replacement US Flag detail. Thanks for posting! What masterfull work and another vintage guitar saved. Would love to know what the strings he used.
Renato Cachina We use D’Addario Phosphor Bronze medium gauge.
Agreed Renato! I love the attention lion to details!! Yes, Scott and his team do amazing work!
This makes me happy for you. I wish they did Seagull guitars (my wonderful 12 string popped the bridge and lifted the top.)
L. Scott Music We can repair your seagull.
Love Seagull guitars. For the money you can't beat them. Imo.
Scott Baxendale amazing!! Loren is a very good friend Scott and he himself is a craftsman, a Master tiler and general all around good egg!
Wow. I have to get in touch then.
Yes, you should Loren!
90% of those post war Harmony/Kay and most post war Regals have Undesirable Necks! I’ve X-Braced Kalamazoo/Cromwell’s and Gibson LG-1 ladder models-their necks are decent. I went a step further with My 1938’ Gibson recording K- I Installed large Carbon Truss Rod and Tapered the neck for superb playability . --It’s a Cool thing to see those old Guitars brought back to life👍
Thanks ever so much for sharing! I really appreciate it
In the end I had tears in my eyes - no joke! Love the new guitar, congrats Warren. Great work Eric Cooper @ Baxendale!
Agreed Bernd! You Rock!! Yes, Scott and his team do amazing work!
i remember when my sister gave me les paul knock off ( i think it was an Austin ) . my friend fell off my bunk bed and broke it. i miss it now that i don't have it and my sister is no longer with us. great memories though. cool video Warren.
Sorry to hear Create Something Great.
I was already wondering at the beginning of the video what Scott would do with the flag because before you send the guitar, it only had 12 stripes. I'm sorry that I cannot add something valuable to the comment section... It just doesn't have electronics in it :-/ though it is interesting to see a guitar surgery.
Kevin always great to read your comments my friend!
Hi warren just wanted to say i bought lewitt lct 240 pro white edition! Couldnt be happier! Thank you!
That's great to hear my friend!!
Amazing video on a wonderful process!
You're welcome Darlene! Yes, Scott and his team do amazing work!
Now, this really IS better than new. Would've been nice to re-use, or replicate that very unique, cool old pick guard.
Hi John A Thanks ever so much! FYI that wasn’t the original pick guard! That had just been glued on there, badly, by someone years ago! This is the original style pick guard now!
@@Producelikeapro Thanks for LMK Warren. Enjoy your Silvertone Phoenix!
John A you’re very welcome my friend!
John A you’re very welcome my friend!
Scott Baxendale can take a guitar that would otherwise be destined for perpetual loneliness and create one that a guitar player can’t stop thinking about.
👍👍👍👌🎥 🎸 🎼🎶🎶🎶 🎤 💋 Your videos are always different and very interesting! Thanks you! (the rectangular markings on the old neck were more beautiful)
Thank you Bony! That’s very kind of you! We try to touch on everything that helps people! As much as I want to play the UA-cam game for high views I can’t help but want to stay true to myself and give out great information and support people! It’s all about community!!
The painted position markers get sanded off when we straighten the neck and re-radius the fingerboard.
We generally prefer real mother of Pearl dots over the painted white blocks, however if a customer requests the blocks we will repaint them on the fingerboard. Everyone’s tastes are different.
Hi Scott Baxendale I couldn’t imagine a better result my friend! Truly amazing!
Late, but not late to the party here. I saw you when you did this video originally, then got sidetracked and lost your channel somehow. However, it convinced me to find one. Guess what? I found one :). I actually talked to Scott before I bought it. It was the exact model you're holding/playing. It is my favorite guitar, particularly for old school fingerstyle blues. I don't think I ever thanked you properly for turning me on to Scott, so consider yourself properly thanked my friend. Great channel as well and please keep up the great work.
Thanks ever sp much Randy! Glad to be able to help!
Wow! It sounds great! That redo really makes me want to take my Landola classical acoustic to a luthier. It's got a cracked bridge and nut...
Get it fixed up Rico!
5:58 your in the states now get a little pocket knife to open things. A cheap one so you can toss it away at the airport... before they crush that beautiful guitar again :(
I don't think I'll be having Delta handle this guitar again! haha
It’s perfect and sound of the Strings are awesome. 👌
Hi 3rd String Music Studio agreed! It’s wonderful!!
#worldclasstone
Yes Sir!
So nice to a happy man reunited with a fine guitar
Thanks Gareth!!
OK Warren dont hold back now tell us how you really feel ;) Nice Job Eric Cooper and Scott Baxendale
haha!
Pretty darn amazing my friend!
I bet! Your joy was Marvelous to behold literally like a eager kid on Christmas morn trying to get at the most special of presents and from the sound of tbat guitar it definitely was
Thanks!
So awesome to finally see a repair like this reach fruition. I saw a project like this started once as research for an interview article, but I nearly fainted when the technician began deconstructing a really fine vintage instrument. Thanks for another treat Warren.
The disassembly process look a lot scarier than it actually is once you have learned the process. It takes a keen sense of awareness and a bit of finesse while you are separating the parts to avoid disasters.
Haha I hear Ron! That's why it's best to leave it to a Master Luthier like Scott and his team!
Hi Warren, dig your videos, What about doing a video about cleaning pots and faders,,,and switches on console ?,,,,like yours or maybe like mine Raindirk symphony ln3 ? :), a 1000 thanx / Rod
That's a very cool idea Rod!!
Unbelievable nice Sound and playability!
Agreed! Amazing!
Happy to see that guitar saved!
Thanks Criss!!
Hurry up and mic it ! We all want to hear it in a track !
Sound good!
jeff lesperance haha it’s in many songs already! Coming soon!
I hope they got that darn pick out of there.
haha Clay!
We got it out then immediately lost it in the sound hole again.....lol
@@scottbaxendale323 Nice.
Fantastic video: Luthiers are the unsung, unseen and underpaid! We work with our hearts and have no greater pleasure than seeing a smiling face making cool sounds with metal and wood that we've touched.
Thanks for your marvellous comment Eddie!!
Wonderful work from Scott and his team!
I agree Apple! Yes, Scott and his team do amazing work!
Great to hear that fresh but classic sound!
Thanks Terry! Agreed!
Wow!! That's amazing! I'm so happy you got one of your babies back
Thanks Tyler!!
Wow that's crazy awesome
It's crazy good! haha
You’re obvious emotional response literally brought chills man. Thanks for sharing. :)
Marvellous Paul! That’s very kind of you my friend! Yes, Scott’s work is wonderful and this is truly a blessing
Lovely to see such care taken in restoring that old beauty!
Hi Paul, Yes, Scott and his team do amazing work!
Fantastic result! Very happy for you Warren!
Thanks ever so much my friend!!
Hi Warren, wow that was really cool, what a transformation, all the best, Darren ross.
Very cool indeed Darren! Thanks for watching!
You should sample the rebuild sounds into a snappy little drum beat and play the guitar over it, or get Andrew Wong to do it
James Smith haha do you mean Andrew Huang? Haha that would be fun!
yep
Oh wow, wooden clamps. Magic! How much for ….. what!?
aahl1680 The full remanufacturing process is typically $975. This includes all parts and labor to rebrace and rebuild your harmony or Kay guitar.
That was an awesome thing to watch! Your guitar is healed!!! To be better than before. Thanks for sharing that with us. I was devastated when I first saw what happened to it. Congrats on its revival. Cheers
Thanks ever so much Luke! Yes, Scott and his team do amazing work!!
We use D’Addario Phosphor Bronze medium gauge.
Scott! Thank you my friend! Again, marvellous work!
Best strings available. IMO.
Jason Simmons have you tried Elixirs? Or the new Sono-Tones? Any opinion on either?
@@Producelikeapro I have tried the Elixirs and they lasted a long time I didn't like the coating on them. It gave a funny feel to them. I know the difference is minimal in feel but I couldn't get used to it. Haven't tried the other brand you mentioned but I might give them a go now that you have mentioned them. Thanks for all you do for ppl like me. I've learned a ton from your videos. 👍
Produce Like A Pro As a Luthier who has been restoring guitars professionally for over 40 years I can say we do not like Elixer strings. They are a life saver for the guy with acid hands, however. The coating changes the sound which on a tinny or crappy sounding guitar smooths out the harsh high end and makes them sound a bit better. However, on an acoustic guitar that has world class tone the coating dampens the sound and dynamic range of the guitar. We prefer phosphor Bronze or nickel strings without coating. I’m a huge fan of flat wounds on archtops!
Lol is it me or does Warren play the same riffs over and over again? There's no complaint, but it's just something I've noticed.
Hi Studio 7-22 haha I’ll be sure to put on more of a performance for you next time! Haha just picking up a guitar and putting it through its paces! Haha
We all have our standard guitar testing riffs. In our shop with ten different luthiers there are 10 distinctly different guitar testing riffs. lol.
Scott Baxendale haha exactly! It’s like referencing mixes! You want the same mix each time so your ears are acclimatised!!
Restoration reality shows are pretty popular on cable these days. Bax needs his own series.
Delta used to have a slogan, "We get you there." They should add, "but not your baggage."
Adam Fox haha that’s fantastic! How about ‘we might get YOU there in one piece, but probably not your baggage!’ In their defence this was 20 years ago it happened! I doubt if it’s even remotely the same company now! I’m sure they’ve improved! One can only hope! Haha
Well, that slogan goes back more than 20 years ago, if memory serves.
Adam Fox haha that explains it!
One day, back in '91, I picked up my then-girlfriend up at LaGuardia. Her baggage was busted open, and her stuff strewn all over the carousel. I can't remember for certain, but I'm pretty sure she flew in on Delta. Not that they were the only airline guilty of baggage mishandling, but I'm just saying.
Adam Fox haha yes those days you didn’t really have much recourse! You would just call them and write letters and they worked on the theory that if they dragged it out you’d go away and of course most of us gave up!
I'm assuming there is probably NOOOOO way for us to get an assumed value of the broken guitar, the cost of Baxendale's work, and a current estimated selling, right?
Do you mean the repair and upgrade in one price? I’m pretty sure he will
@@Producelikeapro Kind of. What I mean is if you could please tell us your estimated value of the broken guitar and how much it cost you to have Baxendale repair it?
How did he fix the top...or did I miss that?
Hi Jason Simmons Marvellous question! Scott should definitely take this answer! Haha
@@Producelikeapro Did Delta pay for the repairs? They should since they destroyed it.
Jason Simmons it was over 20 years ago! In those days the Internet was still in its infancy and there’s wasn’t a way to make a big noise! Now we could just repost it everywhere and they would be forced to acknowledge it! Time and Scott heals things haha
I'm actually so excited to watch this process! I forgot that you mentioned you were sending it to him months ago!
Yes Matthew! I've been very excited to get that guitar back!
Amazing work and the sound is awesome
Thanks!! Glad you think so!
@@Producelikeapro I just bought an old harmony and I will get their conversion.
@@fiddlefolk that's amazing to hear!
Hey Warren, is that an Altec compressor behind you?? Are you going to review it or you already did? Amazing restoration btw. Lovely guitar!
It is an Altec! I can do a review of it!! Thanks for the idea!
@@Producelikeapro Oh geez, thank you! looking forward!
Oh Delta, .... you broke Warren's Silvertone guitar~
Hi Wutipong Wongsakuldej haha yes, indeed!!
They do amazing work! Congrats on getting it back with another lifetime of playing ahead on it!
It's basically a brand new guitar with all of the personality of a lifetime of use! I can’t imagine a better result!!
This is so cool! He is a master craftsman!
This guitar sounds so good now James!!! Scott truly is a master craftsman!
Just curious about why they changed out the floating bridge?
NedFumpkin the new bridge was a vast improvement in sustain! It sounds amazing now!! So much richer!
The floating bridge and tail piece design works by the strings setting the top in motion by pushing down on the bridge when you pluck the string. Violins are made this way, and when a string is bowed it works great, but the sound has very few overtones.
With our tuned scalloped bracing similar to a pre-war Martin the top is set in motion by the strings pulling up from under the bridge. A much more sophisticated tone can be achieved with this design vs the tail piece design which gives a clear fundamental tone but very unsophisticated overtones. Our bracing with the standard pin bridge design provides the best tone, balance and headroom. This gives the world class tone that is so essential for great acoustic guitar recording.
Hi Scott Baxendale wow! What a wonderfully detailed response my friend! It explains why the guitars sounds so good!!
This is fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing some clips of the process.
I want to know more! Off to search for Scotts website.
Hint, I have a small collection of "old characters" that often don't sound so great but still have desirable personalities.
AND I do some light lutherie.
AND I want to learn to do this type of conversion myself.
So a special thanks for the inspiration!
(Scott, I'd love to purchase a full length video of the process!)
We offer a luthier course where I teach this process. I hope to have a complete video of the process for purchase soon. harmonyandkay_conversions on instagram.
That's an amazing idea Scott!!
Incredible!!!
Scott is a wizard! haha
It must have cost a fortune to restore that beauty. But props to Scott Baxidale and his group of luthier to put the time and effort in restoring the guitar. It takes great passion for their craft to create such intricate pieces of art.
Mike Morada The total cost to remanufacture a customer’s guitar is $975. This includes a lifetime warranty for all structural and playability issues.
Mike Morada it’s insanely good value! It turns the guitar into a guitar worth 2-4K! I honestly can’t think of guitar less than 4K that sounds as good!
😃♥️
Thanks Audrey! You Rock!
This is class! I wanna a job in that guitar shop!
It's a great shop! Isn't it!?
You can enroll in our luthier academy.
@@scottbaxendale323 Thank you Scott, I will check it out, Fantastic video from you and Warren!
Scott Baxendale wow! Really? We Ned to talk about that more!
Michael thanks my friend! I’m so glad to be able to help! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Love this video! Thank you Warren...
Thanks Carlo!
So cool. Love that guitar
Thanks John! You Rock!
sweet
Yes!!
Ok this one was a wreck but generally ladder braced guitars are invaluable treasures that should be preserved, nothing sounds like them and almost no one makes new ones. So i think its a terrible trend to ruin them by X bracing.
Amazing work they did. Completely saved that guitar. Warren we have a great luthier here in Omaha you should get to know. Check out www.hargissstrings.com. He's a great guy, you guys will hit it off.
Cool to see it finally finished
Yes it is! Andrew!! How are you? Happy New Year!
Awesome! Congrats Warren!
Hi trollstjerne thanks my friend!! You Rock!!
Going to fully watch this later Warren but I'm always interested in seeing experts at work so I'm giving it a like anyway just because you always 'bring it' on UA-cam! Thanks again and if I'm not too late, Happy New Year, hope your Christmas was...marvellous!
Thanks for the kind words Roy! You rock!
royglennie I would definitely describe Scott as a Master Luthier! For me ‘experts’ are the ones telling us we are doing it wrong! Only a Master Craftsman Like Scott would come up with such an ingenious idea! An expert would say it can’t or shouldn’t be done!! Haha
@@Producelikeapro Yes of course, let's settle on a master luthier with such expertise! Haha!
OK just watched this now and I find it amazing that such a smashed front and back can be straightened out and put together again. The guitar sounds wonderful! Fantastic job and a master luthier indeed! Thanks again for showing the process!
why does it have different fretboard inlays now?
Hi mietschie he straightens the neck, flattens it so it’s even and then re-frets it! Truly amazing!
Those blocks were just painted on the fingerboard and when we straighten the neck they get sanded off. Usually we just inlay pearl dots, but if the customer requests we can repaint the blocks.
Scott Baxendale thanks for the great answer Scott!
Very cool !!!
jeff lesperance Thanks ever so much!!
Fantastic. I was just given a '60s Stella for Christmas. The body and neck are in great shape I just need to replace the nut and bridge. Currently without a whole nut I'm only able to play with a capo, but the tone is surprisingly good for a guitar older than me and who is missing some parts (The guitar, not me...I have all mine.) :) It'd would be cool to have someone like Scott improve it more still.
Nice Sean!
Please send it to us. we would be glad to re-manufacture it for you. the improvement in tone will amaze you.
Scott Baxendale fantastic! That would be amazing!!
Sean Johnson if you get it done I’d love to pst about it!
@@scottbaxendale323 I'll email you for more details
That is so cool how he used a pressure cooker to produce a steam jet.
Amazing restoration! So much work, I can only assume it's not cheap.
Jerry McKenzie it’s mid priced! To take a 500-600 dollar guitar and make it sound like a 2-4K guitar is a big deal for me! It saves wood, uses the original wood and transforms it to a next level instrument! Plus eAch guitar has its own story and personality
Warrens guitar sold for $19 when it was new. Now I would put it up against any new Martin or Taylor.
We charge $975 flat rate for the full remanufacturing process on your guitar.
@@scottbaxendale323 I would have to say that is an excellent value considering all that goes into the restoration!
Scott Baxendale agreed 100%!
Jerry McKenzie agreed! It’s a smart investment as you get a one of kind guitar! No one else is going to have your sound! Each instrument has its own personality! In these days where everyone has the same virtual pianos, strings and synths we are calling out for individuality!
How were you not in tears?
haha! Who says I wasn't!? I do get a little blubbery eyed quite often! Haha
Hi Kevin Kujawa haha I pretty was! Those that know me well will confirm I get pretty darn emotional about this stuff!
LOT of PVA being used...
Le résultat est superbe ... mais il a tué son mojo !
I cant wait to hear Warren’s new tune "Hence The Delta Tape"!
Hi Scott Baxendale haha coming soon to a digital streaming service! Haha
@@Producelikeapro hence forth to be known as "The Delta Lady"???
Eddie Cameron I like that!! ‘Delta Lady’! They will think it’s a Blues reference, which of course is quite apt!
Superbly refurbished! But is it worthy costwise? I guess it's worth every penny because it has a sentimental value.
SkankTv RO it’s worth EVERY penny! The guitars are made of solid wood! The thing that let them down the most was the bracing! Once the bracing is upgraded it performs like a guitar 2-3 times the price! And, very importantly it saves trees! This is a 40-60 year old guitar that now makes great records!
It’s totally worth it cost wise when you consider that for around the cost of a new Chinese made Blue Ridge or Low end Martin made out of Formica you get a “New” remanufactured guitar made from wood that is anywhere from 60 years old to over 100 years old that has stabilized to the point where it is basically impervious to drastic changes in temperature or humidity. Plus it has new tuned scalloped bracing that you normally can only find in new guitars that cost over $5000. Sentimental value has nothing to do with it. Once it is completed the guitar sounds better than any new factory made guitar at any price, and is at home in the studio or on stage. I’ll put the all birch guitar we just rebuilt for Warren up against any Eric Clapton Martin and our rebuild will win every time. Do you think a guitar that can do all of that is worth $1000? Our remanufactured guitars come with a full new guitar warranty for all structural and playability issues, making the new real relic guitars.
Hi Scott Baxendale great detailed response my friend! It’s a work of art!!
@@scottbaxendale323 Thanks Scott for your reply! You really did a wonderful job with this guitar and it's obvious that what you do is high end craftsmanship. Maybe someday Warren will show us in a video how this guitar sounds compared to his other guitars. It would be nice.
SkankTv RO definitely my friend! FYI I’ve already been using it daily to record with!
That probably cost a pretty penny but it was certainly worth it cause the tone is so gorgeous
Hi No Filler Words Productions the full rebuild is $975 and the guitar cost $19 new and now sounds better than my old Martin! Haha I’m very happy with it!!
@@Producelikeapro wow that is awesome
No Filler Words Productions agreed! Great deal!
@@Producelikeapro did you find out what Strings they were?
No Filler Words Productions D’Addario! Which surprised me! I like Elixir and the new Sono-Tones normally
Ok, even I can tell the difference and that tells alot :). What did you spend all your money on? Wooden clamps, of course! And other thank Mexico, I guess Delta has to gonna pay for it?
Congrats for having your "baby" back in such a great condition.
Completely off-topic: I made myself a present and boght Outer Space by Audiothing, a kind of Space Echo plugin and is so awesome. This is by far the best delay plugin I own or have tried. I'm not affiliated with them, but using that thing is instant fun and a creativity booster. It topped my beloved H-Delay, STA-Delay, EC-300 and is par to Echoboy. Sorry for the long shout out, but I'm so happy with that thing, I had to share it.
Hi Peter Brandt actually Delta demolished the guitar 20 years ago! Haha thanks for the tip on the plug in!
@@Producelikeapro oh, o.k. Then, I'm afraid, they won't pay. I must have overheard, that this has happened so long ago.
@@Producelikeapro wow! You held onto that demolished guitar for 20yrs. You must really love that guitar!
Peter Brandt yes it’s was many years ago! Well before the internet would have made them want to do something about it! Haha I’m sure they are a different company with the level of accountability everyone has these days!
Jason Simmons even beaten up it had a great tone! Now it’s tone is unbelievably good!!
Great work from the luthier guy, hey warren, I would love to know how much cost to you these work there? Because I'm Luthier but in Venezuela.
Hi Johnlittleblues Gomez the full conversion is $975 and makes the guitar sound like it costs around 2-4K, worth every penny my friend!
@@Producelikeapro yeah, the sound and the finish it's wonderful, and I understand about the price there, for me on my country it's too high for ask somebody here something like that, I'm working now on a acoustic which your neck it's break, and I only ask for that work something like 6 dollar, here, and still be something hard for pay for many people here. I hope you could be enjoy so much with your beautiful guitar. Thanks for reply
Johnlittleblues Gomez How much does a professional grade hand made acoustic guitar cost in your country?
@@scottbaxendale323 now i don't know, but here where I live, there are the best on classical instruments on the country, they works with great woods and your works for me it's the best on that area, and I found many great instruments from many people but the works from they, its really amazing, i don't know if you know from the Ramirez brother's, they made the best acoustic instrument from Venezuela, the best musicians from the national classical orchestra, Simon Bolivar here they play with your instruments, I remember when I was talk with they that the violin cost between 400 / 2000 us dollar's, and maybe some more, its depending of the instrument. There are others guitar builders but I don't know if they still working here because many people get out the country about the bad situations. But here are very good people who work's the Luthier job.
@@scottbaxendale323 I look your web page. Its would be nice be a part of your team. I have 18 years working with electric guitar and basses. I send my admiration and a great greeting for you.
Beautiful work but still painful to watch'
Skip to the end of the video! haha
James Smith I loved watching it!! Surgery on my guitar! Hahaha
very cool ...how much does that kind of restoration cost if i can be so bold?
Hi Toilet-Tunes, I’m sure Scott can give you a cost breakdown! Also as an Academy member please feel free to ask in the Forum! I will make sure Scott has access!
On most Harmony and Kay models its a flat rate of $975. this includes all the parts and labor to rebuild your guitar. the rebuilds we sell range in price from $500-2500 depending on model, woods, age, collectibility, patina, etc.
Hi Scott Baxendale thanks ever so much my friend for letting us know!
thats really not to bad for the level of instrument you will get..thanks man @@scottbaxendale323
Toilet-Tunes agreed, it’s a game changer. You get it back and realise it’s not going to get any better unless you pay 2k or above
