That buffer will give me bad dreams. Great job on the salvage!

Nice little performance at the end there, the guitar turned out great.

I just saw this video.Great way to repair a headstock break. Seems to me that it would be a stronger repair than using splines (especially if there isn't much material left).

Fantastic job on giving that old Gibson a second lease on life, Doug. You never cease to amaze me.

Great work!

I KNOW THAT SONG!!!!

Love it. I did not expect that giant hole in the back...!

Nice results.

hope even a casual viewer can appreciate the massive skills applied here, my friend! a true resurrection for that geetar.

Here we go Doug you are a wizard!🧙

What they did to that guitar is sickening.

Successful mission accomplished

Amazing!

Incredible! You're a TRUE craftsman.

Your videos and voice is so relaxing and your craftsmanship is incredible. New subscriber and follower. Thank you from the uk 🇬🇧

excellent job, learned a lot of things

Whoever mutilated such a beautiful and iconic guitar should be ashamed of themselves… and thank you for restoring it to its proud former glory.

Splendid 💯

Great workmanship. It will be worth waiting for part 2. Thanks

What an incredible work ! Love it !

Almost killed me reading that it was smashed for being played too much! Thank god you got your hands on it and restoring it back tot he glory days!

Absolutely incredible! Well done

To make those super tight bends all you have to do is score the opposite side ever so slightly because the laminate is so thin we just have to make sure you just scrape out tiny millimeter size chunks then lightly wet the outside and it should bend I've literally made curves that were as tight as the width of a bottle cap it works

Bro that's somebody who makes videos trust me you want to invest in a tripod first thing

Great topic and Great video! But, the nonstop background “filler music” drives lots of us crazy 🤪 it’s essentially muzak and distracts from your excellent work! (it’s way too loud too).

Amazing, beautiful. It seems to be in really good hands. Thankfully.

Hello. I see a lot of dry heat ungluing in the guitar world. We do a lot of UN-gluing in our doing antique piano work. Bringing the wood moisture content up ahead of time helps a lot! Hide glue is not softened with heat, it is the moisture content in the wood.! Sooo---when the guitar is dry as a bone in winter up North around here anyways,,,,it will be much tougher to UN-glue. No less than 14 % + moisture content . Place guitar in a humid environment for a couple days.

What kind of wood are the back and sides ?

What's your location?

Absolutely incredibly masterful she needed some love!

Love your work

Love the new 'stache

Wow! Very cool guitar and a masterful restoration. Can't wait to see and hear it completed.

masterful work by der Meister!

Yes this will be good!

Very cool old guitar. Might catch a jumbo next time. maybe. Like a Red Green show LOL.

le 1er commentaire c'est moi qui l'ait fait...

Wow. This is incredible work. Yes, I did enjoy your video immensely. Thank you!

If you don't want to be put off sausages don't watch them being made 😂

Very Impressed with your skill

Great solution!

as far as breaks go thats about the best you could hope for

Beautiful finish, if hadn't seen in before, I would never believe it was the same guitar. Excellent work sir!

What did it cost?. Saving a $3000 + guitar to perfect condition is very difficult, time consuming and innovative.

Awesome work! Thanks for sharing

Very impressive work. The repair seem invisible. The always unforgiving shiny black paint didn't show any surface defect. The mod itself, while not super nicely made, was a lot of of work. Why did they do this? Some form of repair perhaps, or an attempt of experimental (sacrilegious) luthery.. Puzzling.

Really cool video. We have a 1965 C1 classical but ours does not have the 3 piece neck. Ours just has the 1 piece mahogany neck, without the maple center strip.

Stupid me - I would've used a paper thin veneer over the back to cover the repair. I usually do mine so that they are flawless. This is a vintage instrument and it needs the vintage approach to being solid again. I do realise that these techniques are what everyone that understands guitar repair and restoration use but I would've done the backside justice so it would never be known. Thank you for sharing this with us. It's great to see that this hasn't died as so many artisanal things of this nature have.
