- Hello People!
Thanks for joining me for more guitar restoration videos! This one gets some body work done. It's a Gibson Midtown flat top semi hollow guitar.
Cheers,

These repairs always lead me to a ton of questions; like about the Midtown which I know nothing about, but it sure came out nice. Perfection is just an illusion. Nothing’s perfect, so its fun to see that acknowledged by good repairers/restorers.
Right on 👍🏻
Damn... I did not see this yesterday but gives me something to do this morning....
Black color was a perfect match but your finish repair methods & techniques are awesome. I started cleaning with naphtha & either a grey or purple scotch bright pad per your advice & have found it kind of helps blend things together. I am currently repairing the finish on a very old n valuable Gibson Black Beauty Custom with the bigsby using fill n finish black & thin clear. Also matching the aged gold color of the lacquer by mixing orange & yellow resin dye with lacquer. All Scotty D. inspired ! Thank you for all your uploads brother I truly appreciate all your knowledge & expert work.
Sweet!
Amazing work, as always!
Glad you like it!
Big wheel buffers can cause cracking as they can send vibrations that open up unseen cracks. Ive had it happen a few times and i think sometimes you spend hours chasing different problems that show up. Nice repair! And yeah black its a pig at showing every small imperfection
Nicely done!
Love your channel and work.👍👍🎸
Thanks a million 👍🏻
Good results as per usual. As repair folks we try for perfection. And in the it’s quiet impossible to get perfect color matches. But at the same time my customers are always ecstatic over the results. And then there is the idea of how invisible do we want repairs to be on these old guitars? Certainly not good enough to be sold as undamaged.
Thank You! 🙏 Definitely don’t to be involved in any forgery scheme!
Your voiceover is calm and soothing, you should do nature programs or documentaries as a side hustle 👍
Thank you, I will
Great work! That guitar must have had quite a bash to do so much damage. I have a Midtown and it looks pretty robust, more like a Slimline Telecaster than a 335.
Cool, thanks!
Great trick with bending the strings up when you put them on. I use a clear plate made of glass on top of the color I am trying to match, when repairing finish. This way I can tweak the color until I can get a close match. It seems that we have to be mindful of matching the color black too. I think the guitar looks Awesome regardless of the slight variation in black.
Thanks!
Looks good.👍
Great video and outstanding work, as usual. Just curious as to the CA glue choice, in the top and body cracks and not normal wood glue? Again, just wondering why the glue choice. And I know that everyone does things differently and there is no "the way" of fixing any guitar.
Thanks! I just used the most water thin glue available. The joint wouldn’t flex or open at all

Ok, that's definitely makes sense. Again, no one way is "the way". Great video.
Any reason not to color the glue with black dye so it could be less visible.
I before E except after C. Most times anyway.
Nice work, but I would have tried hot hide glue with compressed air to force the glue into the cracks, I generally only use super glue as a last resort since once it applied there's no turning back. BTW, black tends to be one of the hardest color to blend and match. Nice work!
BTW, forced air should be last resort. Why? You may ask. Its because HHG is the only glue that uses capillary attraction, the very same physics that allows plumbers to sweat copper fittings and have complete penetration. Of course, good technique is at the heart of the matter.
What was that opening song?
It’s an original composition
