Happy to be a part of one of your videos Ted! I think I speak for everyone when I say we can't wait to see you rewind the next one! - Paul from Pickup Pickups!
Nice job. Well done.
Good job, mate!
Great work, I've often seen these with original coils wound closer to 10k Ohms
Hey Ted. Your Hangar 9 iron is still available new. It's actually for making RC airplanes, hence the 'Hangar 9' name. It's to shrink the covering material over the bodies and wings.
I was going to tell him it was for Monokote, but; you beat me to it. I've got one I've had, for 30+ years.
There's loads of used ones on eBay etc.
@@dwc7325 Myself. Started out on C/L Cox .049.
I just typed the almost the same thing. Actually it was typed when I looked at the next post and it was this one.
I have had mine for 30 years or more, we always called them monocote irons
That guitar sounds really good though the internet.
Ted is chipper today. Spring is coming.
I think he's like me - old Harmony guitars bring that out. 🙂
Lol
Measurement conversion humor is _precisely_ why I subscribed to this channel.
Reminds me of a flat earther once calling kilometers "metric miles".
@@imagiro1 now thats funny !
For anyone else who was curious, "methyl hydrate" seems to be the Canadian industrial term for methanol.
For anyone who needs some in the US, Lowe's has it listed as a "KeroKlean kerosene fuel treatment" at ~$9 for an 8 oz. bottle. Home Depot doesn't sell it in the US, apparently.
Which is weird, because as a kid in the 70s / 80s, I remember hardware stores always had "wood alcohol" in stock. 🤔
@@mnemonik61 It's one of those weird reversals: methanol is available at any hardware store paint department up here, but (denatured) ethanol is almost impossible to find. Corn vs trees I guess. It's a problem for boat spirit stoves since they don't run right on methanol.
@@mnemonik61 It's also available as the fuel additive "Heet" (the yellow bottle, not red). It's 99.9985% methanol. Like $3 for 12oz at pretty much any auto parts store.
Lol
@@mnemonik61 Also available as "Heet" (not "Iso-Heet") for a little less.
That iron is from a company that makes products for RC airplanes. The iron was used to skin or place a skin on a wooden framed wing and body for an airplane sort of like shrink wrap. They still make these kind of irons so if you want one, go to RC or hobby shop, and ask for one
Respects the No Stairway sign posted in his own shop.
That was the best "well hey there gang" so far. So much energy. Love it.
Say it.. SAY IT!! 😂😂
Polishing,polishing,polishing..
"-pacion"
Love the way that you appreciate these economy brand guitars for what they are. Many of them have cool unique voices.
One thing Page knew was tone, regardless of 'brand'. I can hear the strains of Stairway ringing out of this one. I'll bet he used it on Tangerine and That's The Way as well.
I was thinking the same thing
21:05 So glad Werner could stop by.
The action is high, the saddle is low... Ted's never confused on which way to go. (I'll see myself out)
You've come here to give him a hand? And polish frets in to the promised land, so ...
With these dad jokes I cannot abide. To seal your mouths, hand me a glue that’s hide.
Class😂
A luthier gang, is that a thang...?

I don’t know if you’re the best that ever lived, but I’m still waiting to see someone do it better. Don’t ever change.
That Harmony looks and sounds great. Always a pleasure watching you save an old guitar.
I get happy vibes when he works on old Harmonys. They are so worth the work. The first electric I bought when I was 15 was a Harmony-built Silvertone. (It's their Bobkat model.) I still love it and play it. I would love one of those old Sovereigns! It sounded beautiful when he finished it, and I love that jumbo sound.
Years ago I bought a bunch of dead DeArmond gold foil pickup coils on eBay, probably saved by an old employee when they tested them, or from customer returns. I was able to repair about 25 of them, and found the problem was where the inside coil wire attached to the pickup base. They tried at least three different attachment methods over the years, and I had some of each. I had to use eye magnifiers to see the short piece of wire coming out of the inside of the coil, and I only had one chance to try and get a good solder connection to the base, but I was able to save some of them without a rewind.
Can't tell you how much I got out of this video, I think it's one of your best! Didn't know about the uneven winding of custom pickups! And the gentle crunching of the file was like walking through snow, or like the sound of small surf crashing on the shore! Very satisfying and relaxing!
'Say the line, Bart'. You do make me chuckle with your humour. The Sovereign struck me as having a particularly cohesive sound after you'd worked your magic, and that was some really nice playing. Thanks for all your work!
Don't want a void if you can avoid it.
i caught that one too
Hanger 9 irons are still available. They are originally used to attach covering for RC airplanes. So check hobby stores.
You can get the heating iron from model shops
We use them for the covering film on model aircraft
My favorite time of the week - Ted’s video release! I learn so much and it’s so entertaining!!!!! You are very funny and knowledgeable! Thanks.
I’m sure it’s a lot of effort to get these videos out each week. We all appreciate it.
Totally agree, I feel the same. a weekly Ted video makes the world a nicer place to live. Oh to be young enough and talented enough with my hands to learn such skills with guitars. I'll settle for the pleasure of watching a master at work and learning a few tricks to employ on my own guitar work for myself and friends. A neck reset? Nope - that is for a true craftsperson.
Wow! Never thought it could or would sound as nice as it did in the end. Sounds fuller than my D-18! Wow!
I polished a glass of wine while watching the master polishing polishing polishing a set of frets. Brilliant craftsmanship - didn't expect it to sound so rich!
That guitar has a really nice sound at the end. It came up beautifully… awesome stuff Ted! 👍🏻
My liege, you ARE the King of Sovereign repair tutorials. That Sovereign sounds really good!! I've got two that need similar treatment.
I believe I’ve seen a photo of Pete Townshend from The Who with one at some point in the ‘60’s. Ladder braced guitars were mostly what the early blues artists played because they were more affordable.
You don't want to know what that crusty white stuff was. Someone really loved that guitar. 🤣
I cannot get bored watching craftsmen like you.
she sounds sweet . I like that stringing it doesn't need those bridge pins..
I love my Harmony Sovereign; it’s the exact same model. I started using it for Nashville tuning when the action got too high to deal with and I couldn’t find anyone local (NYC) that would “waste their time” on a neck reset. Great job Ted! Sounds fantastic.
What a bunch of snobby luthiers to turn away work like that. It must be nice to run a business that's so profitable, in NYC of all places, that you can turn customers away because their guitar isn't cool enough. I would love a Sovereign!
My X braced Sovreign is my go-to guitar, I reset the neck about 30 years ago and now it's about ready for a second.
You've been making an awful lot of Simpsons references lately and I'm here for it.
they are perfectly crumulent references, they embiggen the whole video
I missed it, what do you mean?
Beat me to it. Ted + Simpsons references = 'D'oh!(pe)'
@@rusty4726 "say the line bart say the line" in regards to his "I didn't do it catchphrase" or in Ted's case, "polishing, polishing, polishing"
Moved up to a Sovereign from a Sears Silvertone in about 1967. I loved that Harmony. Had to sell it a few years later to pay rent! The girl who bought it from me left town, and I never was able to retrieve it. I learned to finger pick on it, but it was a strummer fer sure.
Always a pleasure watching the latest Twoodfrd video!
i don't think he mentioned it outright but i imagine the white material in question is probably bow rosin. at least that's what i am telling myself.
My thoughts, too. Was wondering if Jimmy owned this guitar and used a violin bow on it. 😅
That's a great sounding acoustic!
As soon as you started playing it I could hear the Led Zep connection!
My dad had a Harmony Stella model which I absolutely loved!!! My dad quit playing with it and I took over and I absolutely loved that thing. Well my mom not being the brightest bulb on the tree was mad at the guitar and put it in up in the attic where it went through extremely high temperature and extremely cold temperature and it broke apart........."THANKS MOM"!!!!!!
what a transformation, the owner must have been happy as heck
I just love your humor! It’s subtle brilliance!
Hanger 9 sealing irons are still available. They are for shrinking ironon wing and fuselage coverings on radio control and control line aircraft.
Loved the Beach Boys reference!
Hooray!! Perfect timing!❤
I used some Amazon foam cutters and they worked okay. No temp setting. Just on and off for the heat, but the neck popped straight off after 10-15 minutes. I was probably lucky. What's also an annoying coincidence, I needed a saddle slotting jig/tutorial last week (I opted to do it by hand) and this short one by Ted had everything I needed. Just a week too late! Damn you cosmos!
“you don’t want a void if you can avoid it” :-)
That iron is used for installing carpets. Used on glue tape between seams to hold the 2 pieces of carpet together.
Someone probably already mentioned this, but sealing irons can be bought from a hobby shop that sells model RC planes. e.g. HobbyTown, They are used for attaching mylar film to models.
Nice repair, and a great sounding guitar. Thanks
Thanks Ted
Polishing is proof that Uncle Ted truly loves us. My first guitar was a Harmony . Glory days.
That was the first guitar I got for Christmas in 72 jumbo size
That’s what I learned on, with high action
Great to see another Harmony H1260 being properly restored, they're such great guitars. i own many of these harmony models dating from 1959 thru 1970, and i have found that the pickguards are in fact, very consistent in their shape. many of these pickguards fell off the guitars because of gluing problems and excessive heat and were lost, so people have attached aftermarket ones, which might possibly be the case with this one . The shadow visible on this guitar shows the old pickguard position on the outside ring of the rosette, which is not how they were positioned at the factory. The originals were lined up on the edge of the second rosette radius, with the pickguard covering the large outside ring, much like a martin and the majority of flat top guitars.
So much to learn here... Thank you.
Cool project!Thanks!
Perfect timing ❤
Very good sounding guitar indeed ! Great job, thank you for sharing.
Tons of respect for the Sovereign - even more for you! What a great sound and look!
Beautiful as always. Thanks Ted.
You can love your guitar just as long as you don't LOVE your guitar
Wonderful job on the Sovereign! Will produce pet sounds...😁
that sounds great! fantastic work as always.
Yay! Another Sunday afternoon video with Ted!
Stellar job, sir!
Those are nose clams, musicians love them.
Nicely done, sir!
Great job and beautiful tone.
Wow, that came out so good, sounded awesome too!
FANTASTIC WORK AS ALWAYS TED!❤
Very bright sound! Beautiful work sir!
Altogether nice. Thank you, my friend.
Thank you for bringing us the best content on RUclips. It's informational, inspiring, masterful, and a great break from politics, mindless entertainment, etc.
Wow! That Harmony looks and sounds great!
Looks a treat and sounds pretty great too. 👍
That harmony sounds pretty damn good! 🤘🤘
Looks fantastic and sounds great as usual.
Great video. thank you so much!
Sounds loud! Beautiful!!
Wow you sure brought that poor old beast back to life. Looks great.
Magnificent work! ❤️
Great work
Great job on that reset Ted. Sounds pretty good.
So much meticulous skill, I adore watching you work mate!
What a great sound! ❤
Amazing, as always, Ted.
Thanks as always
You sounded in a great mood Ted! Summer is in the air ❤
Such a big before and after. Excellent.
Applaud you, and for the owner, for the sensible repair on this Harmony. I realize it's not a Martin, and some complain not worth the money to repair, but this obviously ignores the personal attachment we have to our instruments. This is a worthy instrument. I have a 1920's Gibson L-0. Charlie Hoffman and Ron Tracy have serviced it over the years - neck reset, new pyramid bridge, frets. Is it worth the cost? To me it is, as I love it's sound and feel in my hands, and it's family connection. For me, it's mostly used for classical repertoire, which gives a nice little punch to Giuliani and Tarrega. Cheers, and thank you for your videos. Have followed since the beginning. I may not be a luthier, but I greatly appreciate the understanding of my beloved instruments that you provide.
Looks great and sounds great!
Great job! It sounds pretty good!
Ace ! great sounds from both guitar and the fresh pick-up.
Thank you, Ted!!!!!!!!!
That was fun. Thanks very much for the video. Enjoyed watching it
Nice rescue including bridge, action, nut and finish. Great job!
Thank you Ted 👍🎸
I recently scored a Crate GX-212 for $70 in mint condition which was a crazy deal, but the pawn shop hadn't even cleaned it up, and there was some mysterious white streaking down the side of the Tolex! lol
I used automotive degreaser and all is well now. It's louder than a lot of half stacks I've heard.
Oh, those dirty old amps! I acquired an Ampeg Rocket R-12, vintage 1960 that must have been the house amp in some back-road honky-tonk for 40 years or so. I spent an entire afternoon scrubbing off the accumulated nicotine coating. I do believe the cigarette burns in the tolex give it extra mojo, though.
Outstanding! Very underated guitar!!
Nice work, sir
