[@babyteagsrocks]

I am Robert’s oldest daughter and I just wanted to say thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart! Music 🎶 was everything to him and he always told my siblings, my kids and myself to “keep on pikin!” That was it for him. He was a funny, loving and very selfless man. He wanted to become something else knowing what science has proven that energy can change forms but never be destroyed. He trusted you with this project and I know he would not be disappointed! I’m sure he is smiling now wherever he is in this vast universe and happy as he could ever be with exactly how it turned out! 💖 thank you sooooooooooooo much for honoring our father this way! 🎶

[@Mycroftsbrother]

So sorry for your loss.

[@fixitallpaul4847]

Clearly your Dad was a fitting Father. We are blessed not only by his guitar but by the decent family he raised before he passed. Peace be with you and yours.

[@nicolen.9642]

Sorry for your loss. Bless you.

[@DavidTurnerMusic]

Music was everything to my father and he wanted to continue on, resonating with the sound of music. For months preceding his death my father wouldn't stop talking about your channel and his wish to you Jerry, and he was fully confident in your experience and skillset to perform this request. Thank you for taking up the task, the guitar looks wonderful, and I am sure he would be proud.

[@snazz2]

Sad, but really cool at the same time. Now you just have to keep the guitar forever. 😆

[@bluesingmusic3443]

Condolences from my family to yours. Prayers as well.

[@TheVectorious]

Sorry for your loss but what an amazing story. Rock on!

[@toddtech404]

My condolences. I understand your fathers spirit. Playing music and music production has been my life. Find a great cabinet maker to display that guitar till a young family member comes of age to play it with honor.

[@deadhead1942]

I remember when Robert told me of his plans to have this done. Thank you so much for honoring his request. He was an amazing human and instilled a love of guitar in my son.

[@lindahowze-lopez2877]

Thank you so much for honoring my brothers final wish with such dignity and grace. Music meant so much to him. That you did this for him means the world to us. God bless..

[@mitchmatthews6713]

People trust you, Jerry. That's a great thing.

[@Decemberbaby28]

Thank you so so much from the bottom of my heart. My dad would be so happy to know you honored him. 💜💜💜💜💜

[@rayclark9643]

The sparkles on the back actually look like little stars...Robert would be pleased with that I'm sure Jerry!

[@babyteagsrocks]

The hospice Chaplin that visited our Dad each week in his final months nicknamed him “doubting Turner” like doubting Thomas in the Bible. My Dad believed but the unknowns are what kept him wondering “how do I leave this world?” he asked me.... “is heaven in the stars? Do I go out in a giant ball of gas?”

[@kiayajernigan8918]

I am Roberts granddaughter and I just wana say thank you so much for doing this project for my papa it was beautiful and I know he would love it all he wanted to do was live on through the music and you made that happen so thank you for seeing that his last wish and last dream was accomplished if he were here today he would be so grateful and proud of what you did with that guitar I don’t think he would of wanted anymore or any less it’s absolutely perfect 💜

[@BuzzcutGtr]

I'm not cryin', YOU'RE cryin'. 😭 My condolences to the Turner family, and thanks for sharing, Jerry.

[@Decemberbaby28]

Lol you’re right! I was crying 😂😂😂 thank you so much

[@jeffreyschmoldt7798]

Being a retired tattoo artist I have tattooed ashes into people, but this is a first seeing someone become a part of a guitar..pretty cool way to live on..the 6 thumbs down have to be idiots, not to see the passion in this for a fallen guitar lover, this is a man's last request people..

[@babyteagsrocks]

Thank you!!!!! My Daddy had a faith in an afterlife and in God just like others but also understood as science has tried to disprove the idea of energy/spirituality/religion (whatever you choose to call it) they have only proven it more. He had no doubt there was a better and pain free place waiting for him however for part of his energy to live on through music meant everything to him. People spread ashes in special places and as you have already said tattooed them, I wear my Dad’s ashes around my neck so he is always with me yet these same people think this is morbid or strange?! I don’t think my Father could possibly be any happier with how it turned out and Jerry did an amazing job! All the little “imperfections” is exactly what makes it perfect ❤️

[@thebones]

@@babyteagsrocks what are you talking about? Science has never tried to disprove god or spirituality, (whatever you mean by that). When examining the material world, god isn't even considered because it can't be proven or measured, there is no way to evaluate it. Get your anti-science chip off your shoulder and realise that just about everything you saw in that video, (including the filming itself) was provided by science - Jerry's skill apart. The transcendent and science both exist in our little world, you don't have to make another war out of it. Peace.

[@mikepower4113]

Jerry, you are a good man. Honoring his last request is very nice of you. I do not see anything wrong with it.

[@74dartman13]

I don't think many people would've taken on a project like this. Jerry it's awesome that you're honoring this man's last wishes. I don't think he could've picked a better man for the job! You're one of a kind, and I'm honored to be a subscriber. May God bless you!🙏🙂

[@D989501L]

Hi Jerry Thats a tough one to do, physically and mentally, good on you. It was what the Gentleman wanted and exactly what he got. Nice job. Regards to all Richard 🇬🇧

[@CarolDailey]

Condolences to Robert’s family and God bless you Jerry for taking this on. So glad you were able to carry out this man’s dying wish.

[@Decemberbaby28]

Thank you 💕

[@kiayajernigan8918]

Thank you

[@costrio]

I like it. It reminds me of a metal-flake paint job I had on one of my old cars. You showed the proper amount of respect for his wishes in a compassionate way. Bravo!

[@tedsmith4353]

No one person is better than Jerry at trying to please people. Rock on!! er great job.☻

[@MarshallSetUps]

A touching way to memorialize this man. Robert and my Grandfather share the same name. You made me cry Jerry.

[@benleydon]

Good work Jerry! Now Robert can say " My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast! I will sing and make melody!" - Psalm 57.7

[@peterlaubach4015]

RIP .Jerry You are just wonderful !

[@yqwgjsg]

In some respects Robert is now part of your shop and part of our hearts.

[@willemkossen]

That was just great. I still remember vividly turning a mini urn on the lathe for a bit of ash of my parents in law, these project have another dimension all together . Very rewarding to do.

[@jerryyork9676]

I have told my wife many times, Jerry can do anything. Keep up the great work.

[@andrewreynolds2647]

Jerry you are an absolute sweetheart of a guy, above beyond and out of sight in your efforts to give this man his final wishes, what more can anybody ask of anyone on this mortal earth. what an amazing job carried out with care and utmost respect to carry out Roberts final wishes, brought a tear to my eye. beautiful job my friend, huge respect. Peace and Love from Bonny Scotland. R.I.P. Robert Turner 2021. Peace Always.

[@ihrescue]

Very professionally approached by Rosa String Works on this unique last request.

[@richardfasano3907]

Great job my friend... I think they made the right choice listening to your advice. God bless his soul.

[@suep4530]

I was thinking the back might be the best answer. Glad the family agreed!! RIP Mr. Turner That actually turned out better than I would have thought.

[@bigrickRC1144]

Jerry.. in a world full of feckless mice.. you are a shining golden eagle. You should be proud.. God will surely have a special place for you!

[@matttitus1673]

Jerry you are a good man and with ample respect for a very odd request, you did a fine and very respectable job.

[@Incandescentiron]

Well done, Jerry. I like the fact the finish is visibly different. It makes his story easier to tell.

[@ralphnorman4636]

You can only do the best you can with what you have. You have done wonders. My humble respect.

[@andrewstpierre4837]

your instincts were correct avoid that veneer top. And again, getting into that catalyzed urethane clear coat to set up the new back finish was a good plan. Strong work. My hat's off to you. RIP Robert.

[@derekkennedy7346]

Jerry you are an awesome person keep up the great work and I'll keep watching I just can't get enough you're very very very very very good at what you do and I'm glad that you're able to do this for these people just goes to show what a good guy you are so keep up the great work

[@shaneallendunn]

This is just amazing. God bless Roberts family and God bless you Mr. Rosa for doing such a wonderful thing for his family.

[@Decemberbaby28]

Agreed! Our family couldn’t be more blessed and honored. 💕

[@briankientz2926]

Rest Peacefully Robert!!!

[@shannonengland5760]

Rest in music Robert. My condolences to your family and God bless you Jerry.

[@richardherrington3815]

Amen!!! What a Blessing to those that are here to pay tribute to Robert !!!

[@harleyveejay]

A couple of tears here Jerry, thanks for sharing. Life is short, make the most of it.

[@NICHOLAS-THE-WATCHMAN]

The best part of this video is that dear brother Robert came to Jesus Christ before he passed. Praise the Lord.

[@zapa1pnt]

Praise to Jesus, for another brother in heaven. Even though, for many, the route could be better, it's the destination which counts most. Praise to Jesus, for all who turn to Him and thank you, Jesus, for turning me. Peace and love (true love), to all my brothers and sisters.

[@NICHOLAS-THE-WATCHMAN]

@@zapa1pnt Amen.

[@ricfair9919]

WOW. He trusted you to perform this task Jerry, that is a great honor. His love for music will live on through his guitar. God you and his family.

[@Metastasic]

Who gives a crap what others think. Jerry you’re a gentleman for honoring his request.

[@Metastasic]

Varnash finishes.

[@genethemachine7169]

It's work and dedication to customers like this, that will make me a lifelong subscriber (and future customer)!

[@philthompson9633]

I’d spray a clear coat on first...then sift the ground ashes on . Let cure then maybe tint and follow with more clear coats. Just a thought! Good Luck 🙏

[@rrrosecarbinela]

You are an honorable man, and you did great honor to your former viewer. May he rest in peace, and may his family continue to remember him with love.

[@jeffgrier8488]

Great work Jerry, i'm sure Mr. Turner would be very happy, and i hope he finds peace.

[@jasonaustin3270]

I truly respect you for taking this project on. Way to honor that man's legacy.

[@jipes]

So heartbreaking RIP dear Robert, I'm sure that this guitar will be one of the most precious. Sinceres condoleances to the whole family

[@mattomon1045]

Mr Rosa thank foe doing this for them!

[@stratdude83]

Very cool of you to accomodate his request. Nice job Jerry

[@kapstersmusic]

Truly an act of kindness Jerry. Thank you!

[@670TXxGregorysxXT670]

This is a hell of a thing you did Jerry. You seem to have a knack for doing great things with sentimental family instruments. I'm proud to be part of the rsw customer family and this just solidifies it so much more. You're the man Jerry

[@1bacq1]

A Beautiful Guitar. Before and After. Good Job.

[@vaccarioou22]

A challenge well met ! Very kind, Jerry and appropriate :-)

[@lazyboydtown]

Tears running down face. RIP Robert Turner.

[@DrElectron1]

Jerry, You have a good heart and did a nice job! Someone like you deserves to be around a long time. With that in mind, please use a respirator and eye protection when you spray finishes.

[@63vetteman]

A firing tribute Doc!! You did a great job & created a beautiful tribute! God bless & well done good & faithful servant!

[@DavidLewis-lk4bk]

That's a lovely thing you did there Jerry 💗 RIP Robert 🧚‍♂️🎸

[@harrisonandrew]

Well Jerry, you treated the job and the video with great respect. You are a gentleman.

[@joemsibert]

Brother, that is too cool. I’m know they sent it to the right person.

[@amascia8327]

"The impossible takes a little longer."

[@abloke8834]

Lovely video Jerry. All the best mate.

[@briankientz2926]

Jerry I commend your facilitating the man's wishes!!!

[@mrkkitson]

You are a good man Jerry

[@Dave---M]

Nice Jerry, I'm certain the family was very satisfied with result. This is a very wonderful thing you've done.

[@nellayema2455]

That guitar has a thin veneer on the top, so not messing with it was a good move. The finish is probably poly. R.I.P., Robert. Rock on!

[@edwardpetersen4309]

Jerry, you are very kind and generous with your skill and talent. I think your intuition about this becoming a "thing" is right on.I hope not. Your suggestion about the truss rod cover would seem to be the way to go if someone wants such a remembrance.

[@billsterling6485]

That was awesome on your part..God Bless you Jerry and May Robert rest in peace. Loved the truss rod cover

[@jefferp]

That was a difficult project in the sense you weren’t 100% sure what would happen with the spraying. It came out beautiful. I especially like the new truss rod cover. Perfect touch. 🎸

[@timothycrump599]

What a nice job you did for this man and his family. I so enjoyed watching this.

[@paullanier8280]

Jerry Rosa, you are made of pure gold !

[@toddtech404]

Total click bait on my heart strings! Thanks for the touching video Mr. Rosa. Love and appreciation from Los Angeles.

[@sgnt9337]

The mortar and pestle idea was a clever one.

[@Newberntrains]

There was no way it would have worked like this without that idea you could brush it but it wouldnt look uniform

[@jthonn]

Nice job, I don't know many that would do it. God Bless

[@ANIMAL2CT]

if it was easy anyone could do it ! This was a very good thing you did :) Always a pleasure to catch you working on things :) thank you Regards to the Family ! this is a an amazing enshrinement of your Father and one could only wish to have a family to see this thru

[@ANIMAL2CT]

i like the finish knowing what makes it be like that

[@johnstitt2615]

You are good man for doing this Jerry. Health and happiness.

[@redddbaron]

This certainly was an unusual request, but I am warming up to the idea already. Seems a great way to provide remembrance to his loved ones in a way that provides comfort for years to come! They say music soothes the soul and funerals are for the living, not the dead. Well in this case I believe Robert got it just right! Beautiful caring man he must have been to understand this for his family. It's clear to me this was and is a loving family.

[@Decemberbaby28]

Thank you for your kind words 💜

[@richardcooksey1600]

Cool tribute. I wouldn't mind going out in a guitar....acoustic of course.

[@rodparker4514]

Well done Sir. Can’t make light of this . I did have a one of those thoughts in the back of my mind. What if it turned out to be the greatest finish we ever .Thanks for sharing and best wishes to the fa .

[@doctoribanez]

Rest in peace man.

[@Bun_Can_Do_It]

My son already knows from many years ago that when I go, my ashes are to be somehow incorporated into my custom made Strat that I built almost 20 years ago. Thank you Jerry!

[@Shadow_Warri0r]

Wow that's amazing... what a beautiful idea

[@rb032682]

R.I.P., Robert Turner

[@shartne]

His ashes are actually part of the guitar now thats for sure.

[@ApexWoodworks]

Jerry, that's a pretty touching story, isn't it? As regards your Harbor Freight spray gun, check and adjust the packing nut, as that's most likely the source of your gun dripping finish. I was glad to hear that you have a better quality gun than the one you used here, as there is a significant difference between cheap spray guns and those from companies whose sole focus is finishing equipment such as Fuji Spray.

[@andymoss3132]

Good man Mr Jerry

[@handiman5]

You are amazing! Love the pictures at the end of the video!

[@johnnytruck2009]

Honestly, how could you say no? Just when you think you seen or heard it all.. I just hope the next person to play it, does it justice like you did. Good job!

[@DrGeek01]

👍🏻 God rest ye merry soul Robert 🤘🏼 Rock On! I pray his family, peace... knowing Robert will resonate joyously with every note and chord.💕 Thank you Jerry for doing that!

[@joemcgraw5529]

RIP Robert,now you can play with all of your favorite Musicians that you are now with ,Nice Job Jerry Im sure the Family will be very happy to get the guitar back Home

[@shashankaranjan6255]

It's a very sentimental moment, this is what I can say. You won the trust.

[@bluesingmusic3443]

Well done Sir. The family has my prayers & condolences.

[@RandySchartiger]

I've never done this myself before but have heard of people doing it, turned out nice!

[@loyddussaultsr4181]

Put the ashes in a coffee grinder and turn them into fine dust to to mix into the lacquer spray. Just a thought

[@philguitar1]

What an amazing thing to take on, and what a challenge to also undertake! I hope Mr Turners family appreciate the difficulties you had to achieve to honour their request. I'm sure they did.

[@lindahowze-lopez2877]

We did. ❤

[@Decemberbaby28]

We absolutely appreciate Jerry and his team. They are such a blessing and did an amazing job. 💜
