  • This Washburn put up quite a fight. But in the end I prevailed. I hope you enjoy seeing how it all came together.

    Many people, myself included are buying up these turn of the century Washburn guitars, with solid aged Brazilian back and side along with
    aged Adirondack spruce tops, then having quality luthiers like you, rebuild them into modern top shelf guitars.

    Just to let you know, anytime you need to polish metal try using Mother's mag and aluminum polish, it even works on brass and will make aluminum look like chrome, it's some amazing stuff, I've been using it for over 20 years, it even removes scraches from metal. you can even make worn out tuners look factory new, without having to buff your fingers off with a buffer.

Great job on showing the repair work and explaining the process involved. Thanks for sharing your experience with acoustic instrument repair and setup. Nice song.

  • @waynedavies3185
    @waynedavies3185 Год назад

    Comment: I had the same issue with a Washrun 12 string in finding neck opening to remove the neck. I notice your guitar's opening is located in the same place as mine was, and it's far forward of the 12th fret. In the end I had to cut off the fret baord at the 12th fret to see where that opening really was to get steam into that joint as my neck was really stuck on tight. It had been glued down a few years ago with "Titebond". The person that glued the neck back on didn't do a good job in setting the neck right to the propper level it should have been glued in at so a second restet was necessary to get the neck glued in its proper place. I now have that gutar's neck set, and glued at properly the right angle for good string clearence. I was able to re-glue the lower end of the fret baord back in place and cover up all the cutting marks left behind. Turned out not bad. Hard to tell that the fret board was cut off the rest of the board.at the 12th fret. I think you will find that that neck pocket opening is located in the middle between the 11th and 12th frets on Washburn guitars. It seems to be a common thing on these guitars.

    Nice restoration and reset. I know it's been mentioned here already, but I'm pretty sure that 1800s guitars were built and braced for gut (later nylon) strings. Do you think it can hold together with steel strings?
    BTW, is that a ladder or X braced top?

    @patrickniedermeyer2112 Год назад +1

    22:16 Sometimes, measuring is better than guessing. The final action is definitely on the high side for a fresh reset and will probably increase over the next couple weeks by 20-30% because it has no truss rod, making it tough to play. I'd advise de-tuning after every play.
