You know, I think what's so great about him is that he does indeed know how good he is but he chooses to simply work his craft and just let's us come along for the ride. He often talks about how important it is to know when you're in over your head with these repairs so I have a feeling he knows his limits pretty well. He really is incredible.

I have to say that you, sir, are a TRUE craftsman. I just discovered your channel and have been binge watching it for the last few days. 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.

Hardly seems worth it for "And there was a big ugly gouge right here that I smoothed over with wood putty, stained with a Minwax stain pen, and sealed up with a 2lb cut of shellac" times 25 or so. 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.

This happened to my D18. Rested it on the sofa leaning it against the back cushion, while I got up to make some coffee. Sitting down again beside the guitar heavily bounced it into the air and launched it at the edge of the adjacent coffee table. Did exactly this damage. I almost cried. 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. The only difference is my join is rectangular. I'm in awe of the skills you guys have.

Has anyone ever tried ‘wet paint sanding’ on guitars? The idea is,when all of the old paint is removed, you up and down sand the past together with the sawdust into the groves, pores whatever holes. Until almost dry with the first go with 120,2nd 240 until dry. It immediately shows the result. I use waterbased acrylic paints During sanding u can remove excess paste away and don’t sand to much avoiding sunspots

I’m finally out of my stash of burnt umber. I wonder if they remember me? They will not sell to rookies. They’re very versatile. If your up to it, you can paint believable wood grain with them using diluted lacquer or padding lacquers and a fine brush. BTW, great job.

I've discovered this rather late but have to comment. Gobsmacked is the word and the level of skill and knowlege is a real knock-out. Scince and Art in harmony. Patience application perception dedication not enough words to describe doing that incredible repair. A knowledge of modern materials plus how to apply them and the use of delicate machinery and the skill thereof. I'm amazed. I've done some wood finishing and trained to do French Polishing and I know how tricky covering up damage on natural wood can be. If someone who doesn''t know the repair is there can't notice it from 6 feet away then what you have is a top grade invisible mend. I salute this demonstration - it was a real treat to watch.

Great work! I had a similar disaster years ago when I stupidly didn’t humidify my Martin, and during a particularly cold spell (I’m in southern Ontario also) the power went out for 30 hours and temperature in the house plummeted. The top side of the guitar opened up a 1/4” chasm starting from the Fishman controls and extending down almost to the neck. The luthier who fixed it did a great job. If you look closely you can see the repair, but it stayed stable, and I learned a valuable (and expensive) lesson.

I wouldn't call this a "competent repair" as I've had to fix a lot of those! I would say this is definitely a lot better than most I've seen from people that claim to be professional luthiers. I would've replaced the entire side especially being a Gibson guitar. The Boseman Montana factory is a far cry from the one in Tennessee! 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. But I'm sure that this guy got his money's worth for this repair and will be happy with it as long as he owns it.

Thank you for your humility. I appreciate that you know your limits and still push yourself to do the best you can. It’s way harder than you’re making it look. I don’t know if I would have even attempted this repair. 👍👍

I'm an industrial engineer - I design, fabricate and repair complex metal bits. A trained monkey could take my place... If I "measure once and cut twice" on a flush panel, I can generally break out the TIG welder, add a bit back, then grind away until the repair is invisible - a dozen or more times if necessary ... 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. Like his, your finished repair nothing short of astounding. Continually amazed at the "laser focus" of woodworkers and fine luthiers such as yourself.

Always love watching you work-while being grateful that’s it not me who has to find a way to make these repairs. It would be fun to see the finished work.

Nice job.I know it's a Gibson but if it was me I'd probably try to find a plate cover that size with a 1\4"input jack,insert a pickup screw the plate over the damage ,call it done.

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.

WoW !!! 🤩 Utterly Amazing! What a really Really REALLY NICE Martinfiddle with a HORRIFIC BATTLE SCAR brought back to LIFE, *BOTH ACOUSTICALLY & COSMETICALLY. And Ted, your such a humble, patient, and talented ARTIST/REPAIRMAN. I really enjoyed watching this video/repair. Lastly, it's refreshing to know that QUALITY guitars damaged this badly (*CAN BE/ SHOULD BE/and ARE SO WORTH) having repaired properly. Super Job Ted !!! 👍😎👍
