Not only are you a master repair person, but your videos are so pleasing and informative. I thank you sir! To a fellow upstate NY’er who lives in Nashville.

[@harpethguitar]

Wow, thanks

[@stevehogg]

Another comment said you were pleasant; I agree! Wonderful video and you are patient with your viewers - that's how you come off to me. Thanks again!

Tom Anderson caught Beavis and Butthead Wacking off in his shed.

[@harpethguitar]

[@mikedavis3841]

I always thought they called little dings like that patina.👍

The beginning of a relic job.

Nice tip Scotty on the Viva ,your now Dubbed Viva La Scotty ,hee hee

[@harpethguitar]

You got that right!

[@theoldbigmoose]

I was surprised Scott when you said you were a wood salesman in the past. Your skill level is at a level that I would have thought you have done this for your entire career. It looks like you started your tube presence about 5 years ago... Did you ever share your journey to this skill level?

[@harpethguitar]

Thanks so much. I haven’t shared that but in short I’ve been tinkering with guitars since the early 80’s, playing in bands, working a regular job. Then when I turned 50 I started Harpeth Guitar to work on guitars full time.

[@bldallas]

You’re a magician!! Nice job.

[@christophernorman2781]

Thanks was working on a project and couldn’t get the scratches out. Guess I need to use a more coarse polish. Thanks

[@harpethguitar]

Glad I could help

[@17thlegion41]

That’s incredible work.

[@jonahguitarguy]

Nice work Scott. That's pretty much my method but the last time I had a ding repair I tried something different. I did a video about as well. I used the fret kisser concept, took a piece of wood about 3" long by 1/2"x1/2". In the middle I 600 grit self stick paper about a 1/2" square. Then layers of masking tape on the ends until the thickness was the same as the sand paper. And voila, you have a fill kisser. Works great in flat surfaces but you'd have to watch closely on a cured surface.

[@harpethguitar]

Good stuff! 😃

[@ant1sokolow]

Impressive. The dent disapeared. I suppose the wood grain and the stain help a little but still.. the result is next to perfect.

[@peterjames2580]

You got the bluesssss

[@edadpops1709]

Wow how old am I when you have to explain to gen z what a fax machine is

[@seanhoward5562]

So funny to hear you explain what a fax machine is. But, I guess, some young won't know what that is.

[@danrunnoft6642]

Nice job!

[@eddiejr540]

Some guy in the 25th row says…”wow, that was a beautiful guitar, but that repaired ding ruined it for me”….hahahahaha🤣

[@harpethguitar]

😆

[@LilYeshua]

Thanks. I got a small nick just in the poly finish on my Jackson bass that i was thinking about just a little dab of stewmac no. 10 superglue just to fill it in. What about Flitz for a polish?

[@harpethguitar]

Yes! Don’t know about the Flitz 🤷‍♂️

[@208414]

Two thousand dollars!? Try more like six thousand dollars for a Tom Anderson with that build spec.

[@harpethguitar]

Oh wow. I short changed its value for sure

[@208414]

@@harpethguitar You can't even get a bare bones model like a Pro Am or Icon for less than about $3,700 these days.

[@colindubie4875]

Great job. Would you know where I could find wiring for a 1965 Hagstrom 1? I follow you on KZbin

[@harpethguitar]

Thanks! Guitar electronics (website) offers custom wiring diagrams. Once you have a diagram you can have a luthier make the harness

[@vayabroder729]

I would’ve just waited to have more significant dings before going in for a repair of this caliber. That ding is barely noticeable and mostly hidden by the arm of the player.

[@andrewfr7552]

Scott, do you have a comparison of Viva paper towels vs. blue shop towels? I've heard the shop towels are a little less absorbent, therefore more ideal when doing wipe on super glue touch ups. Just curious your options.

[@harpethguitar]

Scott Blue towels seem similar to Viva but I’ve never tested them out

[@philipthomas8440]

And yet, some people pay thousands extra to have a guitar reliced. Go figure.😂

[@meltedwheeliebin]

Have you got a cold? Sound a bit snotty
