I'm hoping that one of the new T-shirts says "Polishing, polishing, polishing".

[@christopherfidler3019]

followed by sanding, sanding, sanding.. also love those Raytheon pencil tubes.

[@chriswareham]

Oh blimey, Raytheon. I had an interview for them here in the UK about fifteen years ago. They actually asked me how I felt about my work potentially causing the deaths of people and the I thought "naw, I'm out".

[@CaptainWondermint]

Would be a better world if everyone had that kind of moral compunction. Good on you.

[@Chris-bz6wl]

Premier guitar/instrument “repairman”, a mathematician with a major in geometry, a mechanic, electrician, woodworker with a vast knowledge of woods used in instruments, a chemist who works with different adhesives and finishes all the while having to gauge and balance what they can do to the original finish ,a historian and more all combined with an eye toward the art of the instrument itself. To combine all of these , or better said , to coordinate them to work in harmony and achieve the desired end result is seemingly overwhelming but this man pulls it off time and again. True masters are few and far between and we’re fortunate we can pull up KZbin and watch this man work.

[@Chris-bz6wl]

I forgot to mention Ted has to see into the future to anticipate how all these repairs will react in the years to come, sheesh!

[@souperdave2009]

Ted is gnarly🔥

[@bigbasil1908]

You are right but. No one likes an asskisser 😛

[@the_failed_states]

I have a much loved Dan Electro that suffered a headstock break many years ago and was languishing in its case on the top of the wardrobe for years. I finally - and inspired by Ted managed to repair it. I glues it up, let it sit, the routed two channels on either side of the trussrod, then made inserts from Tasmanian Oak / Mountain Ash, and these just clicked into the routes. I shaped the inserts down to the neck and refinished using model aircraft satin lacquer, Now I have my guitar back and it's awesome. I'm so proud of myself, and have years of watching Ted's videos to thank. I'll buy some stickers for its case

[@beenaplumber8379]

Damn dude/dudette! That's a serious risk, and I'm so glad you pulled it off! I think of the repairs Ted does, and I'm kinda scared to attempt that work myself. I have an amazing repair luthier (I live in a big city), so thankfully I don't have to, but WTG! That takes guts and patience. Danelectros are a love 'em or hate 'em species, and I love 'em! Nicely done! 😀

[@frankcarter6427]

I'd be very proud too!

[@JordonBeal]

As if Ted couldn't get any more awesome, he's also a Behind The Bastards fan. You sir, are a legend.

[@andybettistube]

"If it ain't broke don't break it" has been the unofficial team motto at my work for the past few months. Thanks for that.

[@beenaplumber8379]

I was so nervous when he took the pliers to that tuning machine!!!

[@melmel1071]

I cried when you said the charity you’re donating to. THANK YOU TED. thank you so much. I have been here for so many years and knowing your feelings on this makes me feel as safe as always here. I don’t know you and you don’t know me, and I don’t ever want us to know each other. But from one person on the internet to the other, THANK YOU. I I’ll definitely do my best to get a sticker hehe

[@thesffog1814]

Nothing quite makes a Sunday like a new relaxing video from Ted.

[@jwsaxe]

My weekly moment of zen.

[@bldallas]

I’ve been checking back since about noon. Definitely a Sunday favorite.

[@dannoall8427]

Firstly, thanks for mentioning Chris Murphy and Sloan. Fab band and musicians. Secondly, I'll be ordering a sticker right away. "Envelope stuffing. Envelope stuffing. Envelope stuffing..."

[@Theonixco]

The man listens to Behind the Bastards. Would have never guessed.

[@nascargas]

Protecting and aiding children is perhaps the highest form of nobility. Ill be placing my order for some stickers. And whoooooweeee! TEDS TUNE TUTORIAL?? YES PLEASE

[@Puisheen]

Dream bass! Always wanted a Comp~Stang, red or burgundy welcome.

[@adamsd86]

Ted, you are a superb craftsman but an even better human being - thank you for using your platform to speak up about Gaza and for modeling integrity in general. Rock on.

[@mcvideo5909]

Hamas controls Gaza. Any aid at this point will assist Hamas. Waiting until Israel liberates Gazans from a terror machine would be more sensible approach to assisting children in Gaza. Will aid be sent to Israeli children whose parents were butchered by Hamas? Best to keep guitar repairs & politics separate.

[@contrabandjoe7974]

Speak up about Gaza? About what? How they raped Israeli women and killed Israeli infants and Senior Citizens?

@@mcvideo5909Yeah Israel has done a great job "liberating" those civilians from the living plane.

[@scottstewart5784]

T-Shirt ordered. Love the Raytheon based design.

[@pamartin]

This channel should have multi-million subscribers! This man is a treasure and resource to so many of us! C'mon people, share these with ANYONE associated with stringed instruments! You know what he means to you! He ain't loaded up with ads or BS! Just share this channel with 2 other people! Ask them to share if they are as entertained/ educated by them as you! Hey Ted, I'm just an Ozark hillbilly but, I thank you for ALL you do! (polishing, polishing, polishing) 😁

[@BikePitts]

A Behind the Bastards fan as well!? Amazing! Woodford! Now with knife missiles!

[@jamesmarkham7489]

Ted I’ve been a big fan for a while. But I loved everything you said today.

[@lasvegasira]

I’ve been a fan of your channel for a while. And now, your sticker campaign has moved you to the top of my favorite KZbin channel list. Thank you for being a good human being on top of a talented luthier.

[@neilthomas9244]

Good on you with your sticker contribution to Palestinian kids medical help.

[@beenaplumber8379]

I'm ordering stickers and sending extra to go to that charity. They need help, no matter what happened. They're dying over there. I hope the oud luthier is ok! But everyone else too. It's so hard to imagine. My heart goes out to Israeli families who lost loved ones too on Oct 7. I'm a human. Love to all who suffer. And Ted - what an awesome dude to use his platform for good like this!

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

​@@beenaplumber8379 Peace for Israel is Amazing

[@Jonathan_Doe_]

Unfortunately a combination of Israeli blockading and Hamas’ corruption means it’s going to be a struggle for that help to make it to its intended recipients. Doesn’t mean people should stop trying though.

[@planespeaking]

Love that stamp, good on you for your charitable donations. Having a personal connection with those affected really dispels the dehumanisation of innocent victims.

[@glennselwitz1377]

You are a mighty fine human Ted...inspirihg on many levels..

[@Sammywhat]

Good "counteraction," Ted. This world can often be a messy place to live. Guys like you are a blessing and make living in it better. No doubt.

[@IdFightMyDad]

Not offended! Love it! Thank you for saying something!

As a long time watcher that enjoys your channel, I ponied up for you sticker. I like to support a hard working & talented man. Great talent sir.

Congratulations on the stickers! As a current student of graphic design, loved the inspiration that led to the final comp.

[@thegoldendog7991]

Love the Dennis Wilson nod to Two Lane Blacktop. I have a ‘73 Fender Mustang guitar that I’ve owned since new. Love it!! I was 11 years old when my parents bought it for me as a young guitar student. I competed with it and later gigged with it. All good times!

[@scrubbingmonkeys2488]

The world needs mote of this type of human example. Great job.

[@burn740]

The moment I saw Raytheon, I thought “knife missiles”, and then you did a BtB reference. Unexpected but excellent ❤

[@dustmundo]

Fully support what you’re saying brother. Rock on.

[@bensharp4164]

Glad to here the merch store is back up and running, hope they are still available by pay day, shipping to the UK is a little pricey but my head stock recapitation T is threadbare, haha. Should be putting an order in for a sticker too, big love for your channel ted and want to support! All the best from across the pond.

[@mrclaus859]

Thanks Ted. You are a good man.

[@fenderlead1]

Hi Ted! You won’t have a ground loop in a passive circuit. You only see ground loops when there’s a difference in potential in active circuits. And the intermittent problem probably is related to using the chromed plate for ground. It works great until it doesn’t work.

[@rytaylor88]

This, 100%

[@v0lkai]

The re-created Gretsch logo is just amazing.

[@matthewridgeway9250]

I am a wood finisher from the UK. I have 35 years experience. Your finishing skills are exceptional. We use a product called “pullover solution “ applied with a rubber which melts the cellulose and gets a glass like shine finish.👍

My toolbox at work will be forever grateful for the sticker. Cheers!

[@glenncbjones]

Back in the early ‘80’s I owned a very similar Competition Mustang Bass, although it seemed to be decidedly actually quite more of a “British Racing Green” (I never opened it up, but I’ve owned a couple of “Sherwood Green” Fenders, and it wasn’t quite that!), but it had a matching painted cap, and the stripes were more of a crème yellow, matching the color of the words “Mustang Bass” on the headstock decal, and perhaps most curiously of all, it had the same non-contoured body of my “worth less” ‘66 Mustang bass, both of which basses possessed the rare mid ‘60’s “oval” (non floral) buttons, and the neck date was ‘68! I wish I still had it, if only to shield it from “the thousand natural shocks that (guitar) flesh is heir to”… I hope some bozo didn’t rout it for an EMG P/J rig! Thanks Ted, you ‘da man!

[@violentfrog_]

hahaha love the stamp

[@jools182]

[@joej1131]

Two lane blacktop reference...hell yea!

[@chillpillology]

I don’t know why competition stripes look so sexy. Somebody hacked testosterone and figured out the formula..

[@perihelion7798]

The first stripes appeared in 1951 on the race cars of Briggs Cunningham. He painted a pair of blue lines down the middle of his 1951 C-2R Le Mans motor. This started a trend for other Cunningham race cars, as they became instantly recognizable with the stripes.

[@raycreveling1583]

We were buying our first defibrillator for our rescue squad in the late 90's. The Physio unit was a better machine the the Laerdal Heartstart 2000(!!!) but, the Laerdal had racing stripes with a fade (!). The Physio was chosen in the end but, it was neat thing.

[@goodun2974]

I used to have an orange Mustang guitar with the competition stripes. I loved how it played but hated the look and stupidly sold it.
