Washburn 1915 Neck Reset

[@lodollar23]

Geez I've got an old gibson my grandpa played in church back in the 60's thru 80's. It needs a neck reset and is split on the sound board beside the small E side of the fret board extension. I ordered all my tools to do the repair many years ago. I've watched countless repair videos. I know how it's done, but still can't bring myself to do the job lol.

Nicely done Scott, I was worried at first about the bridge plate thing, but it came out great. I always thought of you as a finish guy but you showed me a different side of your talent. Thanks for sharing.

[@joemcgraw5529]

your procedures are very cool Scotty ,everyone has thier own but I find alot of things you do are well worth adopting

[@richardmcfalls8393]

Really nice work on this one. It will be making great music for a long time to come. Hope you got through the tornadoes OK.

[@harpethguitar]

I did! Thank you! Watch out for them naders!

[@sickofit9247]

Nice job. I would use silk/steel strings on those types of guitar, because of the lower tension & warmer sound. Thumbs up from me!

Fantastic job. Such a cool little guitar, too; I love 12 fret parlor guitars. You definitely did this one right. Very nice.

Thanks for the great vid. I rebuilt and old "Lakeside" parlor with white oak back and sides. It's wonderful. Thanks again.

Thank You 😊

Interesting approach in taking off the neck with an alternate method to steaming.

Great job. I enjoy watching repair videos on old guitars, bass, and drums and amp repairs.. i do say you ha e some big ole balls working on old ass guitars.. I'd be super worried and afraid I'd ruin something beyond repair lol

Boop, early morning video for the win!

This size plays great. I have a brand new Stanford Golden Era that exact body style (perfect for me who's petite). No boxy sound. Amazing! I'm not sure if the Washburn parlors still play great. I was once tempted by one...Thanks Scott!🎶🎶🎶

[@davidethridge5748]

I just love parlor guitars. Very classy

[@jonahguitarguy]

White ash shim, really dumb but I chuckled anyway. Great work Scott. I love those K&K pure minis. But they amplify the exact sound of the guitar. I would have liked an unplugged sound demo. Just did a neck reset and bridge move on a homemade kit guitar for a client. You have a good eye for color. I use amber shellack for age. It works perfectly most of the time.

Nice old guitar, and a nice job too!

[@harpethguitar]

Rock on!

Why am I always awake at 3am when you post? Lol

[@stealingtomorrowband]

Maybe you forgot to silence your phone/notifications lol just messing around... I do the same thing my friend.... wake up early or beat the alarm and wham new uploads from my favorite creators

Great video! I’m always blown away by the big sound of these small guitars. I once played a 30’s martin 0-28 I think it was. Not sure of the model but it was very similar. Its volume and tone blew me even in a large auditorium at a crowded guitar show. Recently I won a ca. 1918 Weymann at an antique auction almost exactly like this washburn. It’s in rough shape and I’m on a waiting list to have it restored. I can’t wait to hear how it sounds put back together.

[@harpethguitar]

Cool!

[@KWM1972]

Great video a ton of good info, what camera/lens are you using if you don’t mind me asking. You can see soooo much detail thanks 🎸

Thank You! Sony HDR-CX405 camcorder

[@peterlundin7953]

Nice!

" BOOM ! "

[@peterlundin7953]

I love wide ass shims! 🙊 (BTW where do You get that nice Glue scoop tool?)

[@harpethguitar]

Doug Proper sent it to me. I believe it’s part of a stainless steel dental scraper kit. 👍🏻

[@VernonTate-y1i]

I didn’t know you could get double ball strings or do you buy the balls separately

[@harpethguitar]

They usually clip balls off of their old strings

[@VernonTate-y1i]

👍🏻

[@jamescarroll7359]

How much to do a neck reset ?

[@harpethguitar]

Big bucks!
