I love you old boy your just like me. When it isn't going good I'll never do this again. When it's get done and looks good you get all cocky. You're a man after my own heart.

[@ROCKNROLLMODS]

Thanks for everything you do Jerry! Don't listen to the haters.

[@bobl2995]

Fantastic video always like a Hank song what a great song writer he was 🇬🇧

[@teigenmeister2]

Fine job Sir 🙂👍

[@MartinSBrown-tp9ji]

Grate job, it looks beautiful and it's an oldie but a goodies.

[@zapa1pnt]

Is that your narcissism shining through? 😁😁🤣

[@fiddlix]

Your work is amazing. I learn something new with every “episode “.

[@CaptMikey-vc4ym]

Jerry, You know that when the Navajos weave a rug they deliberately drop a stitch, or two, to remind them they are not perfect, nor is the world.

[@jcarlosbenitodds6196]

Persian rugs are also made that way and for the same reason.

[@robertmoore6700]

It looks absolutely great. You are right, it looks like a well cared for and loved instrument. Great job Jerry. Bob

[@alfrede.newmen3024]

Haa Great hank music ! Love the guitar restore..Came out perfect ! sounds fantastic.

[@P51]

WOW Jerry: I can't believe the result! You really had me guessing if the finish would ever come around. You've done it again!

[@youtsubanokuroba]

Thank you for your wonderful singing voice!

[@juana1483]

Superb yoddling. I'm soooo glad I stayed till the end!!!!!

[@robertcaffrey6097]

That guitar really tested your patience and tolerence but your labours of love won out again, superb craftsmanship.

[@pablo7182]

Congratulations Jerry! That went the full 12 rounds but you sure won the fight. That old gibson looks beautiful!

[@pirnaud]

very nice job , it like i love ,nice finish.

[@williamwoo866]

Your effort was tireless. How you never gave up will teach the young and old that you need to do your best and don’t give up. As an electronics engineer, we are stuck trying to fix the impossible, I never give up and after 29.5 years I retired. The rule of the impossible fix is if you do the same thing with the same results and it still doesn’t work, go different stop going in a circle go elipitical it might work

[@davidmills821]

true gentleman

[@johnthomas2255]

You do amazing work repairing these old Guitars / Mandolins / Violins & making New Mandolins.

[@matttitus1673]

We all know you are one of the best in the game if not THE best and simply put... Great job Sir. Your efforts and unfortunately at this point pain entertain inform and aid a great deal of people all over the world and we are lucky to have you. Thank you very sincerely Jerry

[@deanlutgert8292]

That thing looks good bravo

[@janosistvan5226]

The sound is so clear and snappy. Looks good too.

[@machomie]

Really glad to see this series. I have a '34 L00 that my aunt gave me 50 years ago. Still plays and sounds great. Not bad for 90 years old.

[@Richard_Lush]

Never tire of your videos. Tons of detail. Love it👍

[@lawrencecoffeyjr1300]

Just plain lovely...U2 sound great...

[@zapa1pnt]

I didn't hear any U2, in there. 😁🤣

[@peterrahill9263]

713th upward-thumb LIKE posted for the 4,349th view (at 1.75). Like an old preacher used to say - "Be like a postage stamp: stick to the job 'til the job's done." WTG, Jerry - the 'finished' product looks & sounds great.

[@danielkalbermatter]

Amazing work! You did a perfect job!

[@alby5658]

Great 👍 love the singing too. :)

[@adamstewart247]

Fantastic job! Finish looks outstanding

[@chuckbowie5833]

Beatiful work. Nice for keeping it real, sir!

[@Daniel_cheems]

I love your work and your cover of Lovesick Blue

[@lawsymcsaucey8318]

One of my favorite parts of the videos is when it’s all done and he tests it out, keep it up dude :)

[@donaldzombo9944]

5-26-2023. Jerry thanks for the info learned a lot. Back of the Gibson Guitar looks great! I will follow your advice as I am now refinishing a Harmony Guitar.

[@philsanguedolce3058]

Hi Jerry, I've been watching your videos everyday for about a week. They are so entertaining and informative! Thanks.

[@BobSperber]

What a pleasure watching you finish this off. I appreciate your 600 grit advice, I’m going to use it on my next project.

[@STMNewEngland]

I found this series while looking for inspiration for my own refinishing project. I inherited my Grandfather's 1955 (FON) J45 and the finish looks like a broken window. It was with him since it was new and traveled around the world with him while he was a missionary for 35-ish years. Hopefully I can rejuvenate the finish and keep it alive for years to come, and possibly pass it onto my own grandkids.

[@overthetarget9401]

A labor of love and it came out really nice, sounds great too.

[@stevehammond8393]

the fact that you have not charged him since the debacle with the finish speaks to your honor. That is admirable!

[@francescopaololaghezza7665]

Bravissimo, straordinario, miglior lavoro non si poteva, ti seguo da anni, complimenti

[@triples4good]

Beautiful work! Love those old Gibsons.

[@elsaingvarsson5278]

[@mikestarmer3121]

Great job 👏

[@nomojoe8150]

Solid job.

[@matthewbartolone7036]

Wonderful work Jerry... Hard fight but you won

[@9jmorrison]

Wonderful work, way to hang in there.

[@Badhands55]

Looks great! Love the t shirt

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

For divits in timber you can lay a damp cloth over the divit and use the hot soldering iron to steam out the exact area. The steam swells the timber and it should pop it out.

[@otakt1452]

Great job

[@paintbox48]

Great job Jerry. I know I'm late commenting - came to it for another look. People just don't realise how difficult it is to get a good finish - whether that's a repair or on a new project. Kit guitars can leave the DIYers quite a job, and more expense than you'd think for materials alone. All the best.

[@davidbrock6025]

Jerry you did a fantastic job on that Gibson

[@philipmarmo2132]

You should look for fish eye eliminator for a lacquer.... I painted classic cars yours and years ago we were both old-timer s. I don't use lacquer on cars anymore I'm not even sure if you can find the product... But if you can.. adding fisheye eliminator will solve your crater problem.... Don't put it in your supply batch... Only use it in the product You're going to paint with immediately after adding it.... You'll be amazed how well it works.. Also notice you finished with shellac... Enough to meet you and see your shot and share notes.. I've been a machinist for 40 years and I have at least two decades and car and airplane restoration I love meeting skilled seasoned people like yourself to share knowledge . No little about musical instruments but have a deep love for music and I do know some very accomplished well-known musicians that I admire. I cover all of North America in my job doing service and CNC machines currently So I'd love to communicate and if I'm in your area I'd love to meet you and see her shop I agree in the sanding there's nothing more valuable than your years of figuring out what works I can probably show you a few techniques for my car restoration years that will produce a flatter more perfect finish if that's something you're looking for. I also think I know why you're getting the balling with 600 sandpaper It has to do with the hardness of the finish That may or may not be something you can overcome it would be one of the things if we ever meet we could chat about

[@ferd.6779]

You did a grate job on this Gibson guitar mister, it looks and sounds good! Your singing and playing is not bad at all ;-)) continue these vids cause we like them!!

[@billsterling6485]

I like it Jerry

[@mattomon1045]

great finish

[@OlavSurlandHansen]

Congratulations with restoring this wreck to its original glory! Your dedication to quality and uncompromising attitude is admirable, but it hurt seeing you strip away all the finish you'd done at some point. Down to the bare wood again! Lucky owner who gets such a fine work of art back.

[@montyrayza7220]

Rosa String Works - nice job on old Hank Senior's love sick blues - my dad use to sing that one to me.

[@that_thing_I_do]

Thanks!

[@IamTheeEgg]

what a beautiful job that your trainee boogered up that you turned into a absolute beauty..i learn so much from watching you work on guitars and fixing the broken ones and making them look like they were nev er damaged.. you are truly a master luthier..Caleb is a very nice fellow but his skills were a bit questionable and thats normal for someone in training.. but he was learning and you rescued what he left you with. actually i thought the guitar was a major wreck but wow you made it look like a $10,000 guitar..you are a magnificent luthier Jerry..Another success story and i love the bluegrass music you play as well..

[@joeturner7959]

I wish everyone wrapped their strings like this. I would only add that I put in more slack as the string gets thinner, so as to wrap down the post and increase the angle on the string to the nut to as much as I can, but not too much. Gives you the best sound if you have clean nut channels. Brilliant

[@chrishartz2397]

Great video..

[@garetkonigsfeld2]

Nice job👍👍

[@dfz6925]

Love the yodel. Nice singing brother. Nice lookin guitar too.

[@shartne]

Look nice and plays well good job.

[@INDYOSKARS]

That one sure´s a beauty.

[@danwaldie4661]

The restore is stunning. You are a master.

[@mikestickersm3mxb279]

Nice job

[@tonyhornett1635]

Not brand new who u kidding Jerry it might be old come on all your pain getting there I'm lost for words just,,!!!!!!!! Incredible

[@mitchfortson8413]

Good job sir

[@williamrome2257]

Pretty cool.

[@edwardmorton6691]

THE SOUND OF IT SORT OF MADE ALL THE PAIN GO AWAY. GREAT TO HEAR IT SINGING AGAIN. IT LEFT YOUR SHOP WITH A SMILE IN ITS HEART. CERTAINLY MADE ME SMILE HEARING YOU SING A BIT OF OLE HANK. BRILLIANT, JERRY. WELL DONE INDEED.

[@harryodum5598]

For some reason, I cannot find the first episode of this video. I sure would like to see it. I’ll go through your archives again maybe I can find it. Nice job.

[@Mhammer1943]

It now looks better than new.

[@devongunsmith4698]

Jerry, my friend, I feel your pain! As a Gunsmith I use nitrocellulose as little as possible.. and I use gallons of shellac - which I use various grades of wire wool, finishing at 00000 grade.. yes, five ought…. Which is on par with 1000 grit.. It’s about 7 months since you did this work, but I’m with you all the way! The struggle with finishing is the same with gunstocks! The restoration work you’ve done will never be fully recompensed.. I’m so tempted to do a tribute guitar job.. as I do have a guitar that has a wracked neck from someone’s really bad neck job.. it only cost me £20 on eBay.. love what you do, as I know what it’s like trying to create perfection for a customer on a budget.. the budget jobs always seem to bite you on the butt.. 😂

[@timfry8830]

Very nice!

[@mitzioden4926]

Your restore work is very good. The guitar looks like a well taken care of older guitar. Kudos Jerry!

[@mfc4591]

well done, now you can have some peace of mind!

[@joesimm6451]

Thanks..for being a gentleman, i also had an issue during resending, after watching your video, i will attempt to resend the front again👍

[@pauljenkins2501]

That was hard, hard work but the end result was worth it. Beware of the rags you have used with boiled linseed oil. They can actually self combust so don't leave them in the workshop, just in case.......

[@rolandtroger4385]

Hello, I'm from Austria and I'm trying to repair a 50-year-old guitar that my wife got for her 6th birthday, unfortunately the top is broken in the middle of the sound hole (new strings and stood in the sun in my nephew's kitchen) Binding is missing and the rest of the body has also come off the floor a bit, and the veneer is to be pieced in on the floor! So a MEGA task! Watch your videos for help and tips! LG from Innsbruck Roland Ps: Master workshop for guitar making Neumarkt-St.Veit Helmut Buchsteiner Model II No. 641 1972

[@benwright6330]
