I would have bet that you could not make that repair look that good. Excellent job. Puts my work to shame. Keep doing it though, because watching you do great work, that keeps me setting my bar higher. When I see it is possible, that makes me want to try a lot harder.
This was an amazing repair. Excellent job Scott I never am unimpressed by what you’re able to accomplish you are truly gifted. I’ve watched all your videos, some twice.
Hi Dr. Scott 😻I absolutely loved watching you work through this patient! Getting the crushed top to come together the way you did was a true test of patience and craftsmanship. Your finish work is nothing short of miraculous. I am particularly impressed with your attention to detail and color matching techniques. Its sheer wizardry I tell you😁 Loved hearing Mother Goose 🦆, one of my personal Jethro Tull favorites. Well done, sir!
Beautiful repair- you do very nice work. It’s fun to watch a craftsman who knows what they’re doing and who settles for nothing less than the best they can do. Keep up the videos brother.
@@harpethguitar What would cause the bridge to sink like that? Whoops, I just saw that you already answered that….with the “soft batch of metal”….so the adjustable hardware, nothing to do with the wooden bridge itself….
Fantastic repair. I wish I could refinish to that standard. Just curious as to how much you would charge for this repair, it must have taken hours and hours.......
I do basic repairs and set ups on guitars and charge nowhere near enough. The refinishing is the part I dread, as that is what people see rather than the work that goes into the actual repair. Last big one (small instrument) was a restoration on a 1880 mandolin. Full top off, neck off, brace and binding replacement and re shellac.
Really well done. I have a Bourgeois OM that fell off the wall in a shop and ended up with similar damage. Someone did a great repair job that is solid and lasting. I got the guitar used and cheap because of the damage and it is my favorite acoustic of all time. Love it. I'm curious - did you put any cleats in?
How long does it take to do this repair? I ask because I keep hearing people say a couple weeks. Is that realistic since I'm sure this isn't the only repair.
