Hello from Virginia, USA. I'm a retired guitar technician of over 45 years experience. I know good work when I see it. This series of 2 videos impressed me. First class work. I'm especially impressed with the way you dealt with the "finger notches" in the neck. Beautiful!

[@throttlebottle5906]

do you think it was from wearing rings, using a capo or cut away for very small hands? I'm thinking constant capo usage and being knocked around with it left on.

[@sonofromel]

[@breaux2806]

using that center punch or scribe to add the grain marks, filling them, and using the color match marker was absolutely brilliant

[@drewcolcher]

The level of craftsmanship you display is amazing. You can barely tell from the fingerboard side that there's even a separate piece glued in. Brava!

[@keiranbradley3238]

Aside from the obvious level of skill involved it was like a whole new finger board was made, it was beautifully conditioned into a much darker piece of rosewood. Outstanding!.

[@Whaleydavey]

Beautiful restoration work on the guitar. I can’t believe that a guitar was played so often that it wore nearly 1cm finger grooves into the neck. I’m torn. On one hand, it is such a sign of respect to restore the guitar so lovingly. On the other hand, the finger grooves is a badge of honour as it shows the thousands of hours that someone practiced and played on that one guitar. I’m sad to see the visible signs of all that practice disappear.

[@nuszbaumferenc9614]

There is one thing I can say: when Kurt Russel broke that guitar in the movie Hateful Eight, it was said there is no one who can repair it. they should have ask you to do it :) Amazing work!

[@FredTmAstur]

Wonderful restoration. I think that the neck recesses made certain chords easier for the owner, but they gave the guitar a beauty that was unmatched. I would have left them out, given the compromise between restoration and the personal history of the instrument, and the Martin would have been a rarity with a much greater value. In any case, thank you for teaching me how to restore guitars. I usually do it slowly, with ideas that come to me after years and with old woods from the forest.

You’re so good at shooting these in such an informative way. I love watching guitar repair videos, but most of the time I just marvel at the work being done. In these I’m amazed at the skill, yet still always end up going “ahhhhh! So that’s how you do that”. I think your videos might be the ones to get the most people into doing some repairs themselves. This is the first time that from one shot ive gone “oh. I can take care of those sharp fret ends that’s bugging me” Truly the mark of a teacher to instill the feeling of confidence in others. Thank you for the videos. Cheers

[@cugir321]

Amazing! I love seeing her draw grain in the wood. I use a sharp point sharpy...draw the grain and smug it with my finger within a few seconds....her method looks better...you get the feel of grain! I got to be careful with the first coat of poly or whatever finish or it will remove the marks....then do it again until I get many coats to protect the sharpy marks. This is a master class on drawing grain in wood.

[@robertr4193]

Over all with the amount of damage that this guitar had when you started it is very impressive that you brought it back to a good looking playable condition. It also sounds quite nice. Nicely done very nicely done.
