And most upsetting thing that they using my "image" (girl, from Ukraine, bonus - from eastern part of it, you get it, right?), just to rob you. I mean yes, I have certain needs, because I am from Ukraine, and I am from the part of Ukraine that is occupied, from a small town of Severodonetsk, in the east of the country, which, unfortunately, is almost destroyed! And now many fraudsters use this information and your kindness, adding different variants, such as "sick sister"!

You are a True Luthier. Watching your work puts me in a trance and I feel at peace. You don't cut any corners like using power drills on taking things apart. Even putting on strings no power drill. I love watching your videos and I am a huge fan of what you do. I wish I had your skills and youth. When I do a simple fret leveling and polishing the frets my hands get calist and cut and bleed. All by hand for 6 or 7 hours I am hurting and exhausted. Arm and hands are fatigued and sore. I'm 57 years old and have Arthritis. Watching you work I am jealous. You are very special and talented. My name is Gary and I am watching your KZbin channel on my Mother's log in on KZbin and I am not Elizabeth by the way. You make me happy to learn and watch. 😊😊😊😊😊 Stay Strong and keep up the perfect work you are doing.

[@ranman58635]

If you worked out, the arthritis can be dealt eith. At first, it hurts like heck but eventually, the body surrenders. Its a strange phenomenon but I've done it. Cheers!

I love your work. I really enjoy watching how you do different techniques on your repair jobs. I started studying guitar about 5 years ago. I have taken many online lessons and still don't have a through knowledge that I feel I should have. I am 68 years old and have arthritis in my finger joints. I have built many "parts casters", they call them here in the US. I can buys all the parts I need and assemble them. I have learned to set them up for optimal play sounds. Keep up the beautiful work.

Adjustin' the truss rod could make the feel of the guitar a lot better or totally ruined it.. same with nut height.. frettin' and saddle bridge adjustment! Get a good balance between those parts requires a bunch of knowledge and experience! But It totally worth the effort

​@@Relayer6a it was glued in under a curved filler strip, clearly...you know, the thing she drilled out and then re squared with the Dremel router?

[@Relayer6a]

As cool as neck-through-body instruments are, it's almost as if Fender had the better idea back in the day... This is a bit like watching a spinal surgery. Impressive! I can't even imagine what it would be like to have to do this kind of repair on a $10k+ Alembic. At least a Gibson Thunderbird is not an irreplaceable one-of-a-kind item. Like somebody else in the comments said, the Gibson is likely a much better musical instrument after the repair, than it was brandnew from the factory. Again, impressive work! You brought that bass back to life, from being basically nothing but firewood - or a boat paddle/snow shovel - before the repair.

[@SinRitual]

she did a conservative repair...the neck is the same as before she started to work on it... so she did a great job... people tend to say that gibson are better repaired for the neck problem... i think gibson did a great work on makin this neck...the work on it was great...of course the truss rod had a malfunction
