Hi Jeremy - I just lost my sister-in-law to pancreatic cancer. She went from being healthy to leaving us in just 6 months. Even though we should have been prepared it was no less jarring. It still stings but I know she’s in a better place. My sincerest sympathy and prayers - may God hold you and your family in the palm of his hand as you say goodbye.

[@mikesmith7107]

Two years to the day I walked that exact road with my father ...PAC is a horrible disease .... we desperately need better treatment options.

[@terrymattingly6843]

First, prayers continue. For me, the sycamore top remains the story-mystery here. That’s a hardwood top sound, which with nickel means clarity and all-strings balance. And that’s YOUR sound. Carry on.

[@edhume5219]

Amazing guitar, and a heartfelt song from a deep place of grief. Thank you for sharing this.

[@texhaines9957]

Loving my little brother Showalter Custom 00, same top and back and sides. Mine has a French polish finish and may have a bit more volume for its size.

[@MashaT22]

Wow, it’s already been a year?! I noticed the bridge has darkened up a bit. It was much brighter at the start. It really was a great idea to use because it’s now picking up on the golden undertones of the top and sides. So when will you do another project with SW Guitars? Doesn’t even have to be an entire guitar. Could be accessories like a stand, pick guard, or even another guitar wall hanger. I miss you guys on camera together. It was tons of fun to watch you both work and learn. Think about it! I’m so glad the guitar is opening up more, and it’s getting better with time. It’s a beautiful piece for sure. I’m very sorry for your loss. That’s a beautiful thing to bring this guitar in memory and honor of your family member who enjoyed it just after it was made.

[@ZacCostilla]

Sorry for your loss. Praying for you and your family.

What did you use a belt sander?🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@RByrne]

Looks great now! I love the Osage orange now that its aged a bit.

[@scottfishkind5335]

That was a great series watching you build that guitar. Glad it’s held up so well!! Interestingly I was doing a gig recently and my friend, who also watches your channel, told me he ordered a Showalter Baritone which he loves. We had a great conversation about your channel and told him I got my Furch by learning about them on your channel! You are making a difference in the guitar playing world!! Prayers for your loss🙏 Lastly, I am a performing and recording singer-songwriter and I thought your singing at the end was really beautiful, heartfelt and deeply moving Jeremy! Would love to hear more!

[@lhvent]

Wonderful song. May your Father-in-laws memory be a blessing.

[@danielgay4924]

I watched the ENTIRE process of you making this guitar and I was riveted. I've wanted to build my own guitar for years but don't have the resource. So I enjoyed watching you Jeremy. After a year, my goodness, it sounds so good and to see how it looks now, my gosh. Thank you Jeremy!

[@kristopherk5454]

Jeremy, I always love your finger style clips!

[@guitarguy6662]

Thats an amazing guitar and the lovely people of showalter guitars are as amazing as the guitars they make.

[@lukian111]

Grace, mercy, & peace be upon you & your family - in the love of Christ & the presence of the Holy Spirit.

[@McDowellCountyYoungLife]

Great to see an update and hear how your love for music will play a special part for your family in a hard season. Blessings from WV

[@vspvince]

Wow... Thanks for sharing Jeremy. I'm a huge fan of your videos and their content. Your depth of guitar knowledge and your desire to help others find their joy is truly inspirational. This video was on a totally higher level. I'm very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God Bless

[@msspi764]

Sorry to hear of your father in law's passing. I remember watching your video about building that guitar. I grew up in and around the valley. Osage Orange fences made of live trees were as common as limestone walls. I never considered that as a guitar tonewood. I'm so glad that it turned out so well. Condolences to you and your family.

[@tomopie4296]

Why does it always have to be mahogany, rosewood and spruce? The sycamore top looks great, Osage orange is incredible how it's changing. Please show before and after of that sometime. I was there and his local wood guitars sound great. Steve Showalter is really on to something!

[@danielschroeder1449]

Pretty cool guitar. I am still kind of annoyed by the orange bridge. Like the Pythons said, it's getting better!

[@rzh3443]

Sorry for your loss and well done on the song. The mistake you made on the guitar is of no consequence except to you. When you make something , you always see things you could have done better and , in this case, the VA overlay was genius and makes it special. It will be interesting to hear the tone in a couple more years.

[@Taylor314ce]

It sounds so good dude. But it is being played so good

[@anthonyb2334]

Jeremy,thank you for your videos, thank you for sharing your experiences, and God bless you and your family.

[@VenancioPortalatin]

Condolences on the loss of your family member. Sending prayers to you and your family.

[@brians9278]

Beautiful song, Jeremy. Beautiful guitar and heartwarming memories. My condolences to you and your family.

[@DanielOBrien-o5q]

Nice piece of work today.. A beautiful instrument and a touching song. Soorry for your loss and safe travels.

[@SamVecchio]

Beautiful story Jeremy. And the song is amazing. Peace and love to your family in this difficult time.

[@estenray5385]

Damn sounds great to me! And it’s gorgeous! My prayers, best wishes and condolences to you and your family.

[@davidd4117]

Your heart was showing big time in this video…and it was beautiful. Best to you and family in this tough time. Wishing peace for you all.

[@henabitmusic2327]

I’m sorry for you and your wife’s loss Jeremy. You all will be in our prayers. Great song and great performance.

[@BSquared579]

Prayers for comfort, peace and grace to you all. Recently lost my “other mom” to colon cancer. Very unique guitar with a great story.

[@MrDaveKC]

First Jeremy, I'm so sorry for your loss. I know it's hard. It's interesting how this guitar has become a part of that story, and how you use it in this family situation. I know it's hard to lose loved ones and family members, and music can so much be a part of dealing with that loss. And it's wonderful how it can be used as an instrument of praise. That's so great. As I understand, quarter sawn has to do with the grain, and in a top the grain is very narrow, and it's basically a very close vertical grain, It would be ,like cutting the piece right through the middle of the tree, getting the grain as close as possible, so that the wood is more stable. Flat sawn as I understand would be like sawing across the further out parts of the tree, so the grain is at more of an angle across the wood, rather than a tight vertical. BTW, your series on the Showalter guitars and building this guitar is one I watched closely because I was very much getting ready to build my first acoustic that isn't just a mostly built kit. I'm now very close to done with it, and your video series with Steve and Showalter Guitars is a significant source of information that I used in the library of my mind to build and set up the guitar. Now mine isn't as raw a build as yours, as I bought pre-bent sides (on clearance) of rosewood and used some Sitka spruce I purchased, but even the choice of sycamore is influencing what I'm thinking about with future builds. I'm now putting the finish on it, so hopefully in the next few weeks I'll be ready to put it completely back together and play it.

[@TribalGuitars]

The top on that guitar looks beautiful with that year on it. That was a beautiful tribute to your mother-in-law, Jeremy. That's a song I'm going to have to learn. I think a lot of us watching will. My deepest condolences to your wife, you, and all the family and friends.

[@gryfandjane]

What a terrific episode. This is indeed a special guitar… you built it yourself, and it’s been there for you through some really difficult times. What more could you ask for in an instrument? Not to mention that it’s an exceptionally lovely guitar. The “patch” was truly a clever idea! You turned a mistake into a feature, and a very nice one at that. For what it’s worth, my only build experience was with a McSpadden dulcimer kit, which looks flawless until you turn it over and notice the sand-through on the lower bout. But it does sound nice. 😊

[@mattmacfarlane2202]

well done shep!! we're all with you pal!!❤❤

[@Ditch1221]

Loved the series of you building the guitar. It turned out great and aged fantastic. Sorry for your loss

[@colinpadley1897]

Best stick to guitar playing.
