    Your method is highly satisfying, don't worry. All the thought you put into everything you decide to show and explain, I would dare say is very satisfying to most of us subscribers. Some people always want to add their two cents, but that's just because they can. It's easy. (like me, right now! lol) But even when you briefly cover things we've seen before, it gives a tangible progression to the story of each job. I think what you're presenting is exellent, and the work itself is beyond compare.

    Ted, I'm subscribed to two dozen plus guitar tech/Lutherie content providers. Your videos are second to none! The next best is Jerry Rosa. But even he is behind you. And for what it's worth, I just Google the fancy book learnin words you use. You're hilarious, and a great teacher. You're the "Bob Ross" of stringed instruments.

    • @J.C...
      @J.C... Год назад

      Jerry is not even close to Ted. I've watched Jerry tear up wayyyyyyy too many guitars for that to be possible. When he cracked the top on an, 1890s Washburn, he said "you gotta do what you gotta do". Jerry is TRASH. The last vid I watched, I literally cringed and said "dude wtf are you doing?!?!" throughout the ENTIRE vid.
      Then I commented & recommended he take some time and watch this channel and learn the PROPER WAY to do things. Smdh. Jerry is a disgrace to luthiers. He shouldn't be touching guitars.
      How bout the time he took the truss rod out of a $10k Gibson, filled the slot, and put it back in with the bow in the rod 180* BACKWARDS because he doesn't understand how a Gibson truss rod works? That was a travesty. I'd have been PISSED had he done that to my guitar. Ruined the fretboard and neck. Likely the entire instrument. He's sooooooo bad.

I know the process of filming, explaining, and editing them makes an already difficult job more complicated, but just know you have appreciative fans out here whom you are educating and informing. Many of us have old guitars that need some work, and you are giving us a picture of what that involves and why you get a pro for most of those operations.

    I can FINALLY offer Ted a suggestion, after dozens of great ideas pilfered from his videos: For masking, look into the folded tape edge technique. I lifted it from my autobody repair experience when spot painting. 3M makes a specialty tape for the purpose, but I've found folding over more pedestrian masking tape (soft fold, no crease) works just as well. It makes blending those cut lines oh so much easier. Cheers!

    Arrrrgh! I look so forward to your videos, every week Ted; said it many times, but you are without a doubt my favorite channel/content on the Interweb. But this darn neck was such a bitch to get off, we now have to wait another week for more l😅be action restoration.
    I know you have a job to do and videos come second (or later), but I could go for a good ol’ one hour long catch up on these old Gibson.
    That said, thanks for all you do and have a great week. BD

    i love the way you do the youtube side of things and hope you never change it. the amount of knowledge i have personally learned and continue to learn is invaluable imo. i now do all my own setup work and have saved a few badly dented necks, cheers to you

    I watch your channel because I like the way you do it. I have learned a lot from watching you and the detailed explanations as you proceed with the repair are helpful. I think the worst thing on you-tube lately are the "shorts" I don't waste my time on them.. just my opinion!
