I'm from a small, low income community in Appalachia and I'm moving back to teach guitar in an after school program at no cost to the students or their families. These tools and resources would help me keep my students instruments in good playing condition.

I discovered your channel a couple of months ago---and have been fascinated watching you work on your guitars. The list of items you've included here are priceless for an old guitarist like myself--so let me thank you for going over them. Of course, I'd be delighted to receive these tools, whether I win them from you or buy them little by little on my own.

@MrGoogster 2 года назад

I just found you guys about a month or so ago. Been enjoying your fresh take on instrument repair/ evaluation/ straight-poopery. I’ve invested in a few tools, started ruining some things, can definitely use some of the confidence and encouragement you guys provide. I’ll throw in for a set of these babies.

@JBirdCustoms 2 года назад

Good stuff guys! I appreciate your help and knowledge!

@amodelman7 2 года назад

I’ve been teaching music at my counties Arts Council for 8 years now. The last year I’ve been in charge of keeping up all of the loaner stringed instruments. I’ve also been buying used stringed instruments that need repair and giving them away to our students when they’re ready. I could really use all of these items, not just for me, but to show my students how to maintain their own instruments. So if possible I’d love to enter for a chance to win this giveaway! Thank you for the awesome videos and information you give to all of us watchers!

Wanted to add to the positive messages of appreciation for your efforts, I've watched a bunch of videos very cool things I never knew about building guitars.

@stevegamiello6476 2 года назад

I’ve been learning a lot from RU-vid videos since lockdown started, so finding you guys has been a Godsend. I’ve picked some stuff from StewMac but have a way to go. I’ve been working on some cheap guitars but finally got the nerve to tackle my Les Paul’s frets. They came out good. I was surprised and felt pretty proud that I did screw it up. I love hearing and experts opinion. Looking forward to watching more of your videos

@danpacleb790 2 года назад

Aloha from Las Vegas! Stumbled across your channel...enjoy your candid approach to literally opening up the world of luthier and the skill and commitment to craftsmanship it takes. Years ago I started acquiring what people considered broken or throwaway instruments (guitars, ukuleles, mandolins). I'd clean up what I could, file this, glue that, play them awhile and then give away the gift of music to someone that showed interest. Always loved working with wood but raising 6 kids never really had the time to develop the skills or dedicate the time to it. Fast forward, last child finished education and moved on and now as a part time substitute teacher I find I have the time! The timing of your channel is perfect for this old guy learning new tricks. Thanks

@pokechopracing8862 2 года назад

I totally agree when your starting out it’s hard to find tools to get the job done that aren’t junk. Also not trying to plug stew Mac but if your a member you can get the books a lot cheaper just throwing that one out there. Great videos as always hope you guys had a great holiday and 2022 is better than 2021!
