How to Restore a 100 Year Old Guitar 

No offence intended but it sounds horrible. Your work is amazing but the sound of that guitar is very poor

Nylon strings. Also, did you clean and polish the tuning pegs. They look awfully dirty.

Just WOW! Such care and attention to detail. Beautiful work, and such an unusual guitar. Now that I know how they were tuned, I have to try to think of the music theory used to compose and play melodies on such an instrument.

The original machine antique tuner is a Beauty to behold. Of course the ultimate prize of all antiques Vintages, are how well the label inside the Guitar has lasted. The label's survival of all Vintage guitars is the ultimate Prize, and of how well the passage of time creates a greater Sound on the guitar. As the Wood ages the sound starts to beautify. When restoring these historical beauties, The Ultimate sound is the playing of Spain,'s Andre Segovia's Guitar, While the Guitar is being Restored to it's former Glory. Guitar Luthiers are the only People In the Entire World, that are in a class all by themselves. Guitars are the Sound of Romantic Mysteries with tropical beauty. The Ultimate Euphoria is the hands of the one's who know how to strike the strings of the Romantic Sounds of Romance. The Magic is in the hands to build and create the exploration of Centuries Old Mystical sounds.

You're a true master! I really liked the backing music as well

So beautiful!

仕上がりが綺麗ですね‼️ 楽しみに待ってました。 お疲れ様でした。

Who is playing? very nice!

Perfect job

Отличная работа! Сейчас реставрирую свою первую 45-летнюю Черниговскую гитару, нужна помощь советом: Что за состав (черный) использовался на видео для покраски грифа с тыльной стороны? Какой клей лучше использовать для ладов?

Excelent Work 👏👏👍🙂... what's the name of the first song? its beautiful and now I dont remember what is....

Крутизна, люблю 7-ми струнные гитары!

Bellissimo lavoro Maestro.... simile a quelli che facevano una volta i mastri liutai di Cremona in Italia... posso chiederti per cortesia se dalla tua esperienza è possibile creare dei segnatasto (dots) nella parte anteriore del manico di una chitarra classica?? . Grazie mille Maestro

Fantástico 😃🙋🏻‍♂️🇧🇷👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

NIce vid.... but.... no information about what supplies were used.

The sound is awful.. almost an abomination to the ears. But your work is magnificent !

Pity about the shity bar chords played at the end haha. after that epic soundtrack complete with the skilled operation to restore. In staying that, I don't think I've met a luthier or guitar restorer that could actually play. so ill let it slide. however I suggest playing whatever that guitar was built to be played after restoring. 🙂

Why that tunning??? Is it for a different kind of music?

It turned out exactly the crap we thought it would look like.

Not much of a how to. What did you use to clean/finish the body of the guitar?

Wait. You're in Ukraine? 🙏🙏👌❤️ Hope you are doing OK!

У меня есть гитарка 1938 года...

Гитара очень старая поэтому такой звук, перемохломь дерево стало стеклянным. Её только в музей.

you couldn't even tune your guitar

not really shure what i think about that sound.. honestly it sounds a little odd

На русских гитарах был радиусный гриф?! И вы это называете восстановлением? Я смотрю вы большой любитель портить старые раритеные гитары: у музимы гриф окончательно испортили ради глупого эксперимента, на русской семиструнке радиус вывели... хозяин-барин конечно, но это дичь полнейшая.

Suono osceno e neanche intonata .. tempo sprecato

Stone Temple Pilots?

Oh no not another one of these hack jobs

This guy knows the mechanics but lacks the fine touch required to work on any guitar, let alone one that's very old. Yet......he's making money because we all watched. Should have read the comments first.

Hello im new subscribers 🙏

Painful to watch. So many bad choices here. Leave these beauties alone please. 😢

Looks amazing, sounds terrible. Out of tune, bad tone. The guitar of your nightmares. Only for decoration usable.

Sounds terrible

Sounds terrible.

Pintar de preto? Não concordo

I would have put classical strings on that. Very interesting seven string guitar. Almost like a baritone.

Great work, however, i’m not sure about the steel strings.

Может гриф усажен не правильно, но 7 струна явно хочет пойти погулять. Ожидаешь хорошего звука от такой старой гитары а получаешь звук ведра с гвоздями

steel strings? lovely guitar sounds dreadful

What did you use on the neck???

Чудова робота !Якщо не секрет,чим чорнив гриф ?

How to ruin an antique?

MRKT This one happens to be a 7 String Acoustic Parlor Guitar.

I love to watch a Master at work. These guitars are relics of a time gone by, not a mere instrument. What a grand old Lady. Oh, the stories she could tell... ❤

Yes, you cna use steel strings on this guitar,although,silk and steel might work better. It's a shame you didn't feature any Ukranian guitar music for your soundtrack,though !ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-07tOupYnekU.html

Well done, my man!

Hey there! I hope you're doing well. I have to share something really interesting with you. You won't believe it! So, I recently got my hands on this stunning guitar that looks like it's worth a million dollars. The craftsmanship is impeccable, and the intricate details are absolutely mesmerizing. It's the epitome of elegance and sophistication. But here's the twist - the sound it produces is nowhere near what you'd expect from such a prestigious-looking instrument. In fact, it's more like a $30 guitar that you'd find at a flea market. Surprising, right? When I first strummed the strings, I was expecting a rich and melodic sound that would transport me to musical bliss. Instead, I was greeted with a thin and twangy tone that was far from satisfying. It was quite disappointing, to say the least. But you know what? Despite the unexpected sound, I couldn't help but be intrigued by this guitar. It made me realize that sometimes appearances can be deceiving. It taught me that true value lies in more than just the outer facade. This experience reminded me of the importance of not judging a book by its cover. Just like this guitar, people may not always appear to be what they seem at first glance. It's a valuable lesson, as it teaches us to look beyond outward appearances and focus on what really matters - the true essence and substance. So, my friend, let this serve as a reminder to always delve deeper and explore beyond the surface. You never know what hidden gems you might uncover. Wishing you a day filled with beautiful surprises and meaningful connections. Take care!

Only in tune for first 5 frets, (that's how it was designed to be played.) Wrong strings, you need 'silk and steel' better still cat gut (made in USA). These old guitars cannot take the strain of modern strings.

Woow! What a lovely guitar,thank you! Very lovin' the parlor-size guitars,especially pure vintage stuff) But unfortunately I have really bad experience with this type of "floating neck" mount(screw-through)😂 Unfortunately,you can't completely seal the hole in the neck heel,sand it and glue the neck completely to the body - not on canon :(

He is an Luthier, love the flamencoguitar music. Beautiful moment of seeing. Sincerely, Lucas

походу не до конца настроил и натянул...а так конечно молодец

All that work and it sounds bloody awful😢

Як називається ця чудова композиція?

Bravo!

А, можно лицевую сторону грифа лаком вскрывать?

И после шлифовки грифа, сколько пропиливать под лады?

Hello. But I expected a great sound but not. I got as a bargain a luthier guitar more less 80 years old it doesn't look well a lot of spots, but it has an incredible resonance sound great. I first thought painting myself but i am afraid to do something wrong so I would let it as it is. Ugly but incredible and cheap

steel strings????? everything was going ok up til then.

why did you put steel strings?!?! 🤦🏻‍♂😂

Did you sand falloff into the fingerboard at either end?

Bravo, outstanding work. Two thumbs up ☝ ☝

Дуже гарно...

That guitar sounds terribly bad! out of tune and too old to restore, it is garbage.

Please, don't play a sound that did not exist 100 years ago, on a 100 years old guitar. It has to be awful.. Try to play asturias suite espanola op. 47 instead ;-)

Что за строй такой интересный? Я так понимаю на тон выше чем на русской семиструнке должен быть. Гитара красивая, но непонятно строит или нет.

Гарна робота

Отличная работа. Очень интересно наблюдать за работой МАСТЕРА👍
