11 years later and your still helping people. Thanks for the video
When Dan says that's the "best that I can do"... it means perfection.
Thank you for these videos. Your book The Guitar Player Repair Guide has gotten me a long way, and mixed with the videos, and your site I have nearly everything I need in the way of information to get what I need done. The world needs more repairmen and luthiers like you.
Dan, Thank you for sharing your knowledge, skill and wonderful technique in all the
videos you have made and posted. Currently awaiting my StewMAc order of sissor-jacks!
Dan who? I need to take my D-18. To him!
Bill Bale Dan Erlewine is his name.
Excellant video.. There's no substitute for experience and good tools :-)
you keep on teaching us with your best skills! Thank You
I spilled beer in my Martin one night and it caused the glue to let go on one of the braces. Nice video. This is how I’ll fix it.
couldn't care less about guitars but I love watching these vid because Dan is such a good dude.
You blew my mind with those scissor Jacks, I've never seen something like that before!
Fantastic use of specialized tools. Loved the insight.
You are awesome!! I admire that kind of work.
you just convinced me to take my old gibson to a pro, but i'd love to try it on my old norman!
What a humble man.
Dan, you did your best.
I could watch these videos all day long and have......
He must have kids. Cuz my Martin suffered from one broken brace but after my 2 year old jumped on it like it was a trampoline I considered it to have held up very well.
Regarding "not being able to see in the hole because my arm is in the way", why not connect the camera (that you are recording this with) up to a monitor.
Stew you gotta show us the finished guitars in these vids please. Just 10 seconds added to the end.
Nice job Dan!
I like ,good tool's and a sound teacher.Going to look up those scissor jack's .
so glad that i saw a vid titled baking soda and super glue - didn't know t'was about guitars - so a total win win - as guitars are my main hobby and music my passion and fucking love baking soda - so many uses !!!
Very helpful, Dan's the man.
I hope he has a protege. He is one hell of a luthier!
I bet an inspection camera would come in handy for this.
Dan you are the master - and you're the only reason I keep buying stuff from StewMac - kind of like always buying some soda or something when you stop at a gas station to use the head... I feel like your knowledge is worth the extra mark-up. I DO wish they'd stop sourcing stuff to China and other points Asian though, and have all USA mnfcts. produce the tools. Any chance of that?
fuckin legend
If you can get some medical supplies, a fine gauge needle attached to tubing and a syringe can get the glue in easier. Then you can use strong rare earth magnets to clamp the brace without using clamps.
A small plastic bead glued on the needle will act as a stop keeping glue to the centre of the brace.
Live it. I need some of those jacks.
Awesome job!
An amazing tool
Thanks for sharing your skills.. :-)
This is great!
Ever work on Harmony and goya guitars?
THE MAN
These are awesome videos...extremely educational. I wonder though--if you couldn't just use a USB webcam as a remote set of eyes while doing that work? Have a laptop nearby and then put something like a Logitech C920 Pro HD webcam into the body, and just watch the monitor while you're working. Maybe that's what he did here, but simply didn't mention it?
@jameshisself but it wasn't for the work, the camera is a good idea though to see what you are doing
@jameshisself he surely would have mentioned it and he was gluing blind. Sorry to call you shirley.
@jameshisself the guy is a stalwart for detail, and tells every little thing he does. doubt he wouldn't mention something as blatant like that, and at least present not it like he was doing it blind, as he does in other videos. anyway I think he is so good at it, the camera would just get in his way, other than for video like this. and he has said in other videos that the cameras do get in his way and has to do things differently to get around them.
@jameshisself obviously you do, otherwise you would have left it at that, but you feel the need to turn observation into argument
@jameshisself you got a deal
what was the piece of cloth on the brace on my guitar
I wonder if the "Tonewood amp" would cause similar problems with back bracing separation?
I don't know why it would. It doesn't exert any pressure on the braces or the back of the guitar. Are you thinking the vibration would loosen the braces?
i have a d18 martin needs a new pick guard, play it too much where do i get a new one.
hello Sir, I see your website sells the chin and neck and the body wants to buy. But I don't know if the pitch is intonation？
Every craftsmen knows what he means with, did it a thousand times and still gettin nervous!!!!
amazing
Pro job
Nice
interesting, putting a camera in the guitar will help you see what you are doing, though that's not the purpose here
Please make more videos please
Please! Show us the end result! It's like watching a porn flick without the 'pop-shot'!
😂
My guess? Someone tried playing Wonderwall and was thrown off stage, damaging their guitar.
Son!
Top secret stuff exposed !
If you can't afford Stew products like that jack that costs as much as a used truck, don't take up guitar repairing...
INDEED
stewartmacdonald ever work on a Harmony and goya and kent
I use a small glue bottle, jacks made from turnbuckles and wedges out of old credit cards. I just use the tip of my finger to work the glue in under the brace. Guitar repair ain't rocket science folks.
