This guys a surgeon
DirtyBluesStank a tree surgeon
Hah!!
More like a dental or neurosurgeon, I bet,@@deccers6459.
You spelled salesman wrong.
@@thomasmiller1263 Don't feed the troll. He's just a bully hiding behind his keyboard. I agree with you, his comments are hateful and uncalled-for.
That masking tape hinge is pure genius!
@blake bishop hey bud, are you alright? You've been leaving multiple comments on this video, some from 1 month ago and some 2 weeks, is there any reason you are so hostile and negative towards everyone and need to disagree with everything? I hope you're doing ok.
@blake bishop About what? I never said the video is good and what he shows is correct or is good craftmanship, and you've never said anything about me personally, why would i be offended or angry at you? I'm just curious what's driving you to act like this. It's hard to take you seriously anyway when you're using XD and writing in capslock.
I thought the same thing - how I have suffered with re-placing pick guards over the years
@@tr3nta345 I'm pretty sure hes just a troll, and an awful one at that.
@blake bishop You are not a good troll, find a new hobby.
I find this strangely fascinating.
it is fascinating!

@blake bishop are you dumb or what?
I bet his wife doesn't know she's missing a bowl.
I heard when she found out she broke it over his head
Oh she knows. Waiting to bring it up during an argument😂
My grandfather had a Martin D-28. He took it with him when he went to WW2 and quickly mailed it back home. He made it home a few years later but the guitar had never arrived home. A few years goes by and he was playing guitars with some friends and his buddy says you'll never believe what happened to me! A few years back a Martin guitar was delivered to my house! Have no idea where it came from but it's great! Of course he explained what happened and the guy gave it back to him. Fast forward some years and my dad and his sister, both children at the time, were chasing each other around the house and my dad jumped on the bed where grandpa had set it down, and crushed it. My dad said grandpa didnt say a word. He just picked up the pieces and went out to the garage for the rest of the day. Long story short, somehow he managed to repair it and make it a really nice guitar again and it's still in the family with a great story!
Dan should really have his own television show. It's awesome to watch!
Totally agree
This Old Archtop
I was totally thinking the same thing. He’d be a great host
Completely agree. Perfect personality for it as well as skill.
"This is just like getting your teeth cleaned" *cuts away with exato knife*
Thats how my dentist does all his work wanna see? 😂
Whatever Dan charges, he is 100% worth it.
He is an artist, his apprentices are so fortunate to learn from a master like him.
THIS GUY IS AMAZING PERIOD.
Watch this in high definition and you can see at 3:29, a serial number which is 333159. So this is a 1973 Martin D35.
Good catch!
RL R So in 3 years it will be 50 years old and in really nice shape
I wish you were my grandfather... I'd be at your place every day learning from you!
+ITLSOFFICIAL He is really great to listen to
+ITLSOFFICIAL Totally
Hello Stewart I would to work for you I love the art of the art off building guitars my number is (786)712-0427 I would love for giving you a hand and showing the art thanks have a happy new year's
@@isaacreyes3945 giving your phone number on a public place is realy not a great idea!! It's like putting it on the public toillet wall..
"Americans are such slow learners."
Generalizations like that are indicative of poor reasoning skills. Maybe you were on to something when you said "I'm very stupid". You're certainly arrogant.
I don’t even play guitar, but I just can’t stop watching this man bring old guitars back to life!
Learning about how guitars age and what goes wrong, and how to fix it; is just amazing. Nothing like an experienced pro to show you the way. Way to go, Dan!
Great craftsmanship. I was thinking ahead and every time when I thought the next step is impossible to do, Dan came around with another clever idea to make it happen. Even if I will never have to fix a Martin, I learned so many things in a few minutes. It was a great pleasure to watch and listen. Guitars are in the best care when someone like him has it in his hands.
In awe of the constant ingenuity in solving problems. Dan E you are a genius.
I love to watch a master at his craft. He has a million clever tricks up his sleeve.
I was looking for a video which explained how to adjust new pick up rings on a Les Paul, and ended watching this one. It was entertaining from beginning to end. I really love watching people who enjoy working and repairing things, very evocative of old times, and so different from nowadays "throw everything away" economy...
Such a privelage to be able to see a true master of his craft at work
It's always rewarding to watch a skilled artisan excel in his craft.
I just love watching a great professional at work keep the video coming!! they are a real treat thanks.
Must feel really good for your customers knowing they received the best solution available.
Dan, your knowledge and approach to your demonstrations is outstanding. Thank you so much
Wow, a true craftsman. I learned so many little tips watching just this one video.
Pure art watching a master craftsman doing their work. Pure art!
This man is genius and it is so pleasant to listen to him explaining.
Amazing. I could (and sometimes do) watch these all day! 🎸
Could listen and watch Dan all day long !
such delicate repairs are so great to see. And this is the best channel for learning these repairs.
An incredible job, it's a real pleasure to see such a precision and love of quality !
fantastic craftsmanship, these videos really give you an appreciation for the attention to detail that goes into restoring these guitars.
I could watch this man work all day long! You are the MacGyver of Luthiers!
It's incredible how well put together this video is.
Dan you really need to release a dvd called Dan's tips and tricks for guitar repair! Your videos are the most detailed videos on the 'how to' process for guitars on the internet!
Dan has taught me so many tricks over the years.
Dang! Dan is the definition of a true craftsman.
very cool, always great to see someone that takes obvious pride in their work
I really love your respectful way of treating old stuff. Thx
Dan, you're the man! and a source of great inspiration for us budding guitar techs... thanks and keep up the good work!
The Master back at work!
You sir are an amazing Luthier! I have learned so much from your videos. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos.
Dan = Legend. I love learning from you. A True Master. You are The Best.
Talented craftsmen make it look so easy. It's a pleasure to watch!
Dan.... You are amazing.... I've been playing for 45 years and enjoy every second of your videos.....
Love watching the skills of a craftsman.
I ADMIRE your patience !!! It was very educational watching !!!
Great to watch this at always! You make my favorite guitar repair videos on this planet ...
He's an artist. Years of knowledge at work.
These videos are great. Very clever how some of these repairs are done.
Well done. I like the masking tape hinge, soup bowl and suction technique.
Watching this guy work is like watching a master player.
Love watching a pro at work. Great job!
This is so interesting. Never thought about how the plastic behaves differently than the wood. I hope my Taylor doesn't have the same problem
Dan is so inspiring
Makes me feel I can and have in fact do wonders with my own guitars.
Thanks Dave
Wow what skill and love for the guitar. Thanks a lot for sharing your expertise its a privilege.
Brilliant; love watching a craftsman at work.
A true master at work , beautiful job.
A master at work! Well done, Sir!
1:00 It seems that many great tradespersons tend to anthropomorphize the items they are working on. It is not only entertaining to hear, but it is a way to identify with the object and understand it better.
Tab Creedence wow, great comment
A total joy to watch this expert work. Clear and precise and first class video.
MASTER craftsman... we are so lucky to be seeing this.
Well Done Sir! This helped me resolve an issue with a Washburn Guitar that I was asked to repair.
Best crack repair video I've seen. Very professional, great job.
Amazing work, Dan.
some great tips - thank you
U are a real wizard. So perfect at every project u take on.
I don’t even play, but I really enjoy your channel..True craftsmanship on display.
That was outstanding info! Thank you! Happy New Year and God Bless!
You, sir are an artist!
Great technique with the masking tape to align the pickguard perfectly. I was waiting to see how you were going to achieve a good fit. Thanks!
I don't think the pick guard shrank over night. I think the guitar top expanded after the removal of the pick guard.
Outstanding ! totally professional craftmanship and great teaching !
I've watched about 7 of your videos in a row, and man you are amazing. I have learned a lot from watching these videos.
I had the same exact thing done to my 72 D-18. The same crack in the same spot and the pick guard was doing the exact same thing. I watched my friend repair it and he did everything that was in this video. Now you can't even tell there was a repair made to it.
You are a Master! Always fun to watch you work.
A master craftsman at work! Great work Dan!! Also good work by your lighting, sound and vid guys!! Love the shots from inside the guitar!
Wonderful work, sir.
So much knowledge and amazing experience ... Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us..
Dan ive listened to you on vhs,and cd no you tube . I sure appreciate your sharing your skill.
How masterful.. Very impressive
I have purchased many parts from Stew-Mac. Love this company and love watching these videos. Recently bought a Strat guitar kit and I have my Floyd Rose templates and almost ready to drop that in.
Exactly the problem my D35 had (among others).
It’s currently in VERY good hands here in Australia having some serious repairs done. Looking forward to getting it back.
Wow didn't know guitar repairs are so detailed. Liked it
I always enjoy your videos, very entertaining and interesting and I always learn a trick or two from you. Awesome!
Wonderful video. Artisan at work. TJ Thompson restored my 1919 Martin 0-45. It took about 9 months and now I've some idea of why.
Being meticulous was something all the great masters in the arts and crafts of wood and metal throughout the ages insisted upon... and your approach to repairing the damage from a shrinking pick guard was an excellent example... especially the "old school" approach to using aged wood to fill the split in the wood... no shortcuts :)
Fantastic. Such attention to detail.
Wow! Real professional stuff. Thanks for the tips wow!
Awesome tutorials glad I subscribed...You Sir are a true skilled luthier a master of your trade, very enjoying to watch and learn.
His work is so good. I watch his videos and my jaw is to the ground
I have been repairing guitars at a shop in California for a couple of decades now ! Sure love watching these videos ! Our shop signed up for the yearly shipping rate from StewMac and now even if it is not a wholesale dealer for tools and parts it saves us time and money to get our shop supplies here ! They are very efficient and fast as far as shipping , and have a lot of fantastic tools !
Thanks for your comments, we are glad you are taking advantage of the StewMAX benefits! All the best, Team StewMac
Great job. Very impressive.
Brilliant fix. Impressive !
Great work! I just ordered a piece of clear plastic in order to make a pickguard for my acoustic lefty guitar. I hope it turns out as great as yours!
Thank you for the video.
Cheers.
Hi, I really enjoy your videos, you have such a mater of fact down to earth approach to solving problems. I am not a luthier of even a musician, I'm a woodworker and have a variation on getting glue deep into cracks and splits. I use a vacuum pump or a household vacuum cleaner and even my dust collection system in my workshop. The hose on the vacuum cleaner needs to have a a soft collar fitted like the adaptors you get from Rockler. For awkward spots use a flexible piece of hose. It works so well on occasion, I get glue pulled through the unbroken surface from nearby cracks. You can not get that by pumping it into the crack as there is always a certain amount of rebound of the glue..All the best.
"Killer red spruce from the 1800s" LOL epic
I love how you talk about it like it's a living being. I treat my baby that way too haha
i could listen to this dude for days
Fantastic work.
Wow you have so much confidence is your work. I have a Fender acoustic guitar that has a 1/4 split on the back lower side comes and goes through out the year some parts of the year you can barely see it. I am afraid to do anything to it.
Just changed my pickguard, it was nervewracking but came out ok. Wish I had seen your video first. You are a true craftsman and it was fascinating to watch. What skill you have. Thank you for sharing your experience.
