It's a shame this channel doesn't have more subscribers. This is world-class stuff! I really love a person who has mastered their craft...so I just subscribed!
Once again a great job. All I can say is... you just get to the point where you think you might finally have all the types of Guitars you need... and then you hear one of these. Oh well... here I go, searching for another Guitar. Sheesh...
Wow it's the best looking vintage guitar I've ever seen..besides the board .I'm no collector tho I jst wana have em solid so I can play it..never had a good guitar..qlit if cheap ones tho
I keep wondering how you can match colors this well and how you could have such still and dexterous hands, then I remembered you said you went to art school? Are you a painter as well as a master luthier? In any case it's a joy to watch you work. Thanks.
I wish my national from that era had that much paint. Sadly it's coverage is more like those patchy inside the cone cavity, only not so bright and shiny. It is due for a refret, but in almost 60 years ofl doing the work I've never done bar frets. Any hints or have you done a vid on it?
I've never seen an early National with bar frets. The ones I've refretted are from 1931 and 1935. They were original frets, and they were the regular t-shaped ones.
"Looks OK" he says... Dude, that is amazing! You do incredible work!
My thoughts exactly! Ted's capacity for understatement never ceases to amaze me. Lol 🤣
So Canadian; “Looks amazing, sorry.”
I’m always amazed at the variety of instruments that land on your workbench. Thanks for the morning dose of all things guitar.
It's funny how varied Ted's playing is at the end depending on the instrument. One day its blues, the next day jazz, and the next some rock solo

@Jim A Who cares about comments? So petty...
I found the re-strining advice particularly interesting having, as I do, a modern Triolian Polychrome and a slot-headed Yairi NY0021. Thanks
Super job. Beautiful match and nice stringing!
Great restoration, and what a wonderful instrument and sound!
I really like your videos. You get straight to the point and give great tips. Thank you!
Excellent. I particularly appreciated the stringing up tips.
Nice job. Really nice.
Learned a lot from this one...
F...f...f...er hecj...what a guitar ! Wonderful work
Nice work, as a cabinetmaker, I know how hard that color matching work is.
Me too. I thought the same thing. And now I know how to properly string my resonators.
Thanks for the awesome tutorial on proper stringing, great video as always
Omg. Why didn't he order some stickers with numbers online back then.. 😨
Or just...not do anything. I mean if you need fret numbers then...
Great paint job!
He scratched them in....WRONG?!
Another great repair! I know the man who wrote that on the stick.
Perfect man!! Thanks for the stringing explanation!! 🤗👍👍
Absolutely awesome man.

Love your videos! Keep em coming!!! Thx!
New Sub. Another beautiful Triolian. What a beauty! Good job. You should have way more subscribers than this. Regards from England.
Wow. A coloured fretboard. You don't see those very often these days.
Oh, another unplayed guitar. How quaint. How precious. Precccciousssss...

I cant even tell there was anything there now
👍
This might be a long shot of you answering this but here we go. What would you use to clean the body of a triolian or a resonator that is painted?
Part of me feels like I would have left the numbers since they're part of the instruments history
@TubularBow HD You're totally right
I wrap my strings the same way you do and wish I had a nickel for every time I was told I'm doing it wrong.

@@twoodfrd i'd be happy to send you some photos if you like.
If it was mine I would have left it but I haven't finished the vidio so after I see it maybe I'll have changed me mind......I'm sure
