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".

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.

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

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! 😀

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.

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!

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.
