The word 'either' is not a synonym for 'each'.

Just curious. Why not rout for the plug from the back of the headstock to conserve the front ???

Overkill?

So what your saying is ITS WORTHLESS ..HACK IT UP!...btw,nowsadays you can find a 3-d printer to make whatever part you need such as the tip for the switch for example...also,you can use a dental mirror and put it into one f-hole and use the other f-hole to look into to see were the top braces are..probably need a flash light

kudos for playing a left-handed guitar being righthanded !!!

Heat pressing a neck seems kind of iffy. If it were me I would ask the repair guy to install an adjustable truss rod.

On the thicker binding he complained about it curling. His heat gun would cause that to relax. Good job, Well done

Вставку на грифе, я бы сделал с обратной стороны. Сохранился бы логотип, а механика перекрыла бы ставку с обратной стороны.

Accomplished craftsman

If helping palestinian kids offends you,you have issues

More bridge sanding! We need more bridge sanding! 😊

Why not just get a new neck..that has to bring down the value of the tele

I watched another guy do one like this exactly pretty much except he darkened the area and made it fade lighter above and blow to the original color so you couldn't see the splines at all and it looked like it was meant to be that way from the factory to most peoples eye anyway. He did a really fantastic job of hiding it that way and it looked ligit.

"That'll do." - understatement of the century.

There is just something great about 60s rosewood board teles.

Always a pleassure seeing your videos. Excellent work.

That surrogate body is the guitar I've been dreaming of.

Great video. 5 bucks says the tuner bushings were oversize and were driven in to the smaller holes. Rookie mistake. Especially when you're wedging right down into the grain of the wood. And it's a "hardwood". In this case maple.

I never check action at 12th fret because of truss adjustment. I check 17th fret for action height after I set truss-rod adjustment to 8th fret.

This seems like quite a bit of labor $$$ for a neck with many issues. Is a '63 Tele neck normally worth this?

About the Brad nails.... don't you wish sometimes that you had access to an xray machine?

that was a `cracking` job 😉 thankyou for posting your excellent work, whatever else may be corrupted on this bat-guano crazy planet ,we can all take a break here at Twoodfords sanctuary😇👍

Whatever gene you were born with that gives you the patience to do this work, i definitely am missing. Its amazing work that i would have botched, half arsed and then left forever... Great content.

We have a very talented man in Australia called the "Hairy Dud". He can make any scratchplate (pickguard) you want. Send him the details of the one you want and it comes back perfect. He did a new Ibanez Custom Agent guard for me with the engraving and it was AUD$120.00 plus postage.

Masterful work on the Telecaster headstock.

yea grooving baby! i can dig it

I enjoy viewing a lot of your videos, sometimes I do not know what the heck are you talking about but each video I saw, kinda interiorize or familiarize more and more with your comments and its is fantastic. Thank you. I do not know play any instrument at all, but there is a lot of education here. Thanks to You. Greetings for Mexico.

It sounds beautiful! Great job

The host deserves an award for being so good at his job. Not only his guitar work...but also for his camera work and narration. By far and away, he is the best guy on youtube.

Why didn't he route out the back of the headstock instead?

As a somewhat older than 58 years man i was impressed by your repairs 😂👍

Hello. As I know, each century begins in the first day of the year one (1), for example the 21st century begun at January 1 2001. Not in January 1 2000.

And again we see white glue. Why doesn't anyone use hide glue anymore?

41:45 "let's play this thing!" That when all of that skilled work pays off. Magnificent craft, and just reward.

Background noise sounds like it's pissing down :). Awesome educational video as always, thanks Ted.

nicely done!

I have a B45 from early 1963. I bought it with no top, and when I took it out of the case the neck fell off. This one is newer. Gibson put the double X on to stop the tops from popping off in late 63. Before that they braced them exactly like the 6 string version. Apparently, they sounded amazing but fell apart pretty fast. The dovetail was unbelievable, with a whole load of filler in it. Heck of a job. I'm left handed and wanted to play it myself, so I sold the bridge on (brazilian rosewood!) and modified it as a floating bridge and tailpiece, which was an alternative contemporary configuration. I had precisely the same heel crack. Mine fell to bits. Ted kills the steam/probe debate in a second the moment he mentions blush. The older the guitar, the greater the risk. I'll take the half moons over that every day. I missed this the first time round, and he's now using foam cutters, where the drill hole is a good bit smaller.

What if you did that repair but from the back instead? That would preserve the look of the front. Seeing that Fender logo routed in half made me cringe.

I have learned a lot from your videos. Thanks for making them. I am 70 years old, and built my first acoustic guitar (Stew-Mac kit) two years ago.

It never needed to be amplified. Just mike it properly. You will get all the volume you need and then some.

For me, at my 69 years old, Gretsch represents an indisiputable reminder of George Harrison. I never saw or heard Chet Atkins. I grew musically in 1966 with The Beatles and also with an LP of Gilbert Becaud that my father then bought (both LP`s) in Sears after our house was destroyed by hurricane Inés (Agnes). I assume my father was trying to overcome our crisis somehow. My beloved father, son of a french immigrant who left Le Havre along with his young widow mother and three sisters, arrived in US and later my grandfather emigrated to Mexico.

Just incredible workmanship, a joy to watch. I thought the decals only started to go under the finish in '68 with the bold black logo?.

would love to see the rest of this series

Exactly. Standard Teles never had the 3-bolt neck. Good or bad? Up to anyone to decide.

The length of the pins coming out of the capacitor will tell you which is positive and negative the short one is negative, if it happens to be a cap with polarity

Craftsmanship at its best.

Beautiful work, as usual.

My Bro-in-Law owns a Stella Acoustic Double Neck (both necks 6 string, one fretted the other fretless, if my research is correct, it was called a Contra Bass) that he's had me look at for repair, but it's in such poor shape, I'd have to completely replace the top as it was stored in an old chicken coop and not in a case. He never had wanted to invest that much into it, because it's a Stella.

Don't mind the "Granular" stuff at all Ted. Much better than flying by the seat of one's pants.

Thanks for demoing one of the EBow knock offs. Pretty cool for half the price.
