I am semi-retired now from a life time of repairing all kinds of things; all aspects of home repair, electrical, plumbing, carpentry, tile, appliances, HVAC, electronics, computers, and on and on and on the list goes. I absolutely love watching you fix these guitars. Even after 50+ years of fixin' stuff, I am learning some very valuable skills from you. Even the tone of your voice on the narrations is relaxing. You have a true fan in me. Keep up the great work!

the strap came off my Lowden a few years back whilst performing in my local pub, it fell on a tiled floor and created 3 parallel splits in the back similarly far away from the sound hole. As you say there was much self recrimination. Luckily there is a very good luthier nearby who managed to make an invisible repair and it’s as good as new. I asked him if he had to take the back off to fix it but he just smiled and said, no it involved advanced gynaecology! In this case in homage to Cat Stevens, it wasn’t the first cut which was the deepest but the second. Stellar work as always. Thanks.

The toughest part was the glue-up of the music stand, and that went swimmingly with a few ratchet straps and a spare board to keep things aligned while the glue set.

The luthier that repaired it did such a good job that amazingly I couldn't see the joins until 20+ years later. The video was fascinating as I could finally see what he did.

But I would want it to look like the customer spent a reasonable amount for a truly professional and invisible repair. I would only charge about $200.00 for that including matching the finish.

Wood? Ha- I'm scared to death of the stuff... I dropped my '86 Martin Brazilian Custom OM onto a spherical stage foot light in almost exactly the same place. A retired luthier made a plug with dead on identical grain characteristics he saw in a piece of BRW from the remnants of a broken up 1950s sewing cabinet he had found years before on the side of the road.

Really fascinating to watch you effect this repair. It resonated wit me because, first, I dabble in woodworking. Second, my very first guitar (an import Epihone back in 1971) suffered similar damage. It was never repaired. Third, at about the time I acquired the Epiphone, a friend with whom I played acquired a new Hummingbird and I fell in love with it. Finally, it wasn’t until about 25 years later that I finally could afford a square-bodied Gibson, ending up with a Sheryl Crow signature (‘62 Country and Western reissue). Every time I take it out of the case (especially at gigs) I think of my damaged Epiphone and worry. Thanks for sharing this and thanks for doing right by this guitar.
