you never forget and you never skimp on any part of the repair = you are 100% top job only JERRY = Thank You SIR !

Jerry, the vast majority of us thoroughly enjoy your video's more than you know. The complainers are called "keyboard warriors." Complainers who don't know which end of chisel to use. Cheers.

When I was at school, quite a long time ago, the school governors thought it a sensible idea to devote time each week to an hour's carpentry and an hour's metalwork to give a bit of balance to the students against a heavy academic load, and the school became endowed with two workshops that a medium-sized commercial outfit would have been proud to have owned. Two early-retired tradesmen were taken on to run the respective workshops. It is odd how one remember things, but every time I tighten a nut, there is, in the back of my head, the echo of my metalwork teacher saying, "Tight is tight, and no more."

Likewise, my carpentry instructor exhorting me to only ever cut the 'waste' side of the line, and that if I ever used a measuring stick to cut a number of items to its length, then to use only one stick for that purpose, which was so clearly marked that it was unusable for any other.

Who does not remember little quips about measuring twice, and suchlike, dropped within an offender's earshot ?

[markmelville]

That whole feathering thing is an aha moment. Thanks!

@Rosa String Works each of your episodes is a Luthier University Lesson. And a darn interesting one, as long as it might be long, I never miss a second of it. I semi-built electric guitars so far but I'd love to build a classic one or to be able to service mines one day. So, thank you Sir.

"I'm only buffering" should be on t-shirts. As always, you have done an awesome job.

[murphy]

No need to justify anything that you do. It is generous of you to provide these videos for our learning and interests. Thank you.

[hijmestoffels]

That missing bridge plate was staring me in the face all the time while you were doing the inspection before glueing the back on. What a suspense! Luckily I was “fooled”!
I love watching these videos, much more entertaining than the ongoing European Soccer Championship that everybody here in the Netherlands is so excited about.

[joetaverna]

Jerry good good evening my friendgood video as usual this project is coming along just fine stay safe God bless

[timziegler]

In similar circumstances I have used acetone + 0000 steel wool to level the finish and then sparingly reapplied a finish coat. You Sir are a true treasure! The life time of "How To Do's" are absolutely wonderful. God bless you.

I just LOVE seeing ALL musical instruments getting fixed PROPERLY - ESPECIALLY acoustic guitars and other popular stringed instruments - that sound good. I saw a demonstration of lyres they played in ancient Greece and those sound like STINK!!!! But somehow this guy thought it was cool.

Anyway, this channel is a gold mine for me and my wife. We just love to see Jerry fix all these guitars and mandolins!! We have yet to see any banjos or fiddles or dobros (a type of guitar I believe) or anything else. I'm sure Jerry fixes (and MAKES) all kinds of musical instruments. And tools and many different kinds of things!!! I guess I'm addressing both the audience and you, Jerry.

Thank you so much for sharing your work on YouTube, and for being such a nice person!! May God bless you and your family with many good health and many years, and protect you from all manner of tragedies. Of course life always has some sorrows sometimes, but may they be as mild as possible.

Me talking to you through the screen @ the 13 minute mark: "Don't forget the bridge plate!" Glad you caught it, lol. That new bridge plate seems to give that old "wreck" a lively sound.

[adamkempa]

Thanks again I always pick up something - That old Regal sounds surprising now.

[pawwalton]

You did a fantastic job on this repair. Most "professional Luthiers" would have had the customer invest another 8-12 hours labor to take the back off the traditional way and invest another 3-4 hours applying masking tape to the the fretboard and leveling, crowing and dressing the frets along with the many neck reset hours. Very nice sounding and functionally stable guitar now. The end result was excellent.

[markseven]

The way your work is done and the way it is described is a great school for us, your listeners.. I thank you from the bottom of my soul for what is done because when you love the work you do the result will be like yours. .I follow you with appreciation and deep respect because it has helped me in my work here in little Greece

[jthonn]

Excellent job as always, shame it didn't get a new bridge, yeah I know, that one wasn't coming loose.

[danielsaturnino]

Jerry, what are you doing? Making a guitar solid and using glue not aproved by the youtube tone cork snifers :) thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[chriswareham]

My eyes kept on being drawn to the shadow where the pickguard had been on the body, so I was ridiculously happy when you fixed the original pickguard back on :-D

[amascia]

It's a joy to hear the results of your work. Thanks.

[bruceducker]

A pretty awesome sound coming from an inexpensive guitar. Probably hasn't sounded that good in years, especially all braced up and a padauk bridge plate. Thanks for the content.
