I'm sure as well the customer or client will be elated to get their guitar back, so good for you. I have a comment though, listening to your comments through the repair I would like to interject the quality of workmanship should not be judged or performed based on the cost of the instrument. Thanks Jerry.

Jerry, I really liked this video. I recently attempted to save a 70 year old guitar made in Mexico. Oddly enough, it did not need the neck reset. It had numerous long cracks on the sides. And I refinished the entire guitar. But there is something that I can’t understand . Maybe you can enlighten me. The bridge on a classical guitar is always straight across while on a steel string goes at a slight angle . I was wondering why with nylon strings the bridge doesn’t have to be angled.

@@haroldyeager6124 If I'm not mistaken, classicals were made to be strung with gut strings originally, and nowadays often nylon, both of which don't require the same amount of tension and don't have the same density and comparative thickness variations as steel strings, and thus gut or nylon do not require the same amount of compensation at the saddle.

people who complain more live longer cause when you're in the hospital, if you don't complain you might die, complainers won't be shy to say something, so statistically people who complain live longer, also when you complain you're letting others know what bothers you it might lead to it getting fixed or they might gain awareness. complaining is good.

I was raised believing drinking was a sin and after reaching the age of 65 I have come to a period of new enlightenment. This repair is exactly the kind pf situation that calls for an extremely cold bottle of quality ale. (Do not mix with powerful tools.) I believe one or two bottles could help you feel more at one with your work and let the problems solve themselves through your hands with less aggravation. You've earned the right to relax into the repair if you so choose. Keep up the good work and thanks for the videos. J

Yes Jerry, be extra careful taking on what looks to be "classical" guitars. I know with flamenco guitars they have a different design for the neck joining to shoulders of the guitar. The neck on many flamenco builds cannot be reset (easily). I reset a neck on a classical for flamenco playing and was glad it was the same design as you have worked on.

I think it needs larger diameter bolts and heavier duty wing nuts so you can put a bit more ummph on the physical effort removing the neck. Or use nuts and a socket with a handle driver even better. Dad said if ain’t movin’ get a bigger hammer, just don’t always use a hammer. You have so much knowledge you’re willing to share. So nice and fair in an unfair world. Thanks very kindly. Steve

That said in the last year or so I have watch some other YT luthiers more because I am more interested in vintage electrics more so than mandolins and acoustics. I bought a 60+ year old Harmony that needed a good bit of work including a neck reset and this will be my first attempt at that task. So this is my first video in around a year by you and I must say I forgot what a crotchety old fart you can be, LOL.

Mr. Rosa, you are the finest luthier I've ever seen, and I greatly enjoy your videos! Sir, I need your help in identifying an old, strange mandolin a friend gave me. It would be easier to send photos than to descrbe it, butt hear goes.... The headstock has a cutaway that is an imperfect half-circle. All eight tuners are there, but the nut and bridge (which is exceptionally large) are missing. But the neck has a very large heel which is square and is held by two dowel rods which are perpendicular to the neck! Also, inside there is a nut and bolt that appears to be a truss rod (?) going into the neck well. The sound hole is a perfect circle, but it's 3" from the end of the fret board. And the fret board is longer than the neck. The tail piece is circular and looks like sun rays, or a scallop. I don't know my woods that well, but the front and back look exotic, with tree rings (actually lines) all over it. The sides are the same wood. I think the neck is walnut(?) and the fret board mahogany. I can't find any markings at all. Can you help me, Sir? Please? If you'll send me your email address, I'll send you images. Thank you!

I made a new top for a cheap guitar without a dovetail just for the challenge. I ended up making a tenon that went into the neck and the neck block like a bolt on neck but I glued it in both and put dowels in the joint like mandolin necks. Turned out better than I figured it would and sounded great with a solid top instead of a laminated top.

I enjoy watching you repair older guitars and other string instruments more so than the high-priced instruments like Martins or Gibson's. An old instrument is unique and if it plays well and sounds great, it has a lot of value no-matter what the age it might be. A painting painted by an artist from the early years of 16 to 1700's grows in value no-matter the fact that the canvas gets weaker with age and the paint begins to chip away due to drying out and becoming harder with age. The same should apply with aged Guitars and all stringed instruments. If an older stringed instrument is solid, and holds a pure note it has value as much as any high-priced instrument. A high priced instrument holds it's value and at times grows in value from what it once was worth in the store new. The same should apply with late dated stringed instruments. Their value should go up if they are in good, solid playing condition from what they were once valued at when new in the store. Many years ago some sold for around $45 new in a Sears catalogue, and bought by many to bring a bit of joy into people's lives with music, so if they are solid and hold a sweet sounding note, why shouldn't they go up in value by a slight amount, say around $150 to $250 today with new strings. They have history behind them and survived abuse over the years. The tones of the wood used to make them, now sound even better than when they were new. I own instruments that are 40 to 70 years old, and sound just as good as my newer higher priced guitars of today, that once (years ago) sold in a Sears catalogue. I have an autoharp made in the 1930's that sounds just as good today and any of my higher priced newer ones of today. If construction is sound and solid and is properly serviced to bring out a top quality of sound, they should go up by a modest amount of value in price. No Stringed instrument should be classified as a piece of "Wall-hanger Junk" if it can still play a sweet sounding song as good as any instrument that today costs more to buy. If these old instruments are brought up to proper playing ability for a newer guitar, and sounds sweet, It should up their value on the market. I have made sweet sounding flutes out of old worn down skids used to transport goods across the nation. The sweet sound carries over a lake like many people have never heard before. It causes people to stop and listen as well as enjoy something that once was a piece of old lumber no-body wanted any more. I don't care what people say, any stringed instrument (even if it is old), has high value if it's restored to proper playing condition, much like a cared for violin that grows in value over time. The quality of the notes given off when played should equal the value of any stringed instrument not it's old age and cheaper construction.

I hope the owner did'n't hear all the disparaging remarks you made about her mother's sentimental favorite guitar that she saved her egg money for during the depression. ;-p

I like the 12th fret action. She ought to be pleased over easier to play. For some reason, presumably nylon string behavior, Stewmac suggests 150 at the 12th. I forgot what I set mine to but I think it's 30 at the first as suggested by Mr Stew and around 100 at the 12th. Your right in it sounded pretty good.
