- I have tried to talk myself out of doing this a million times but, alas.....this is what we must do. I remove the back off of the SUPERTONE LONE RANGER 3/4-scale acoustic guitar in order to gain access for the necessary repairs. I used a combination of tools" a hot clothes iron a.k.a. "the Iron of Persuasion" and a couple of spatulas heated in boiling water.
This episode is not for the squeamish. If you shy away from the sounds you imagine would happen when you pry apart an 80-year old guitar......well, you've been warned.

It is awesome that you are restoring this old guitar. It's like bringing a piece of history back to life.
An interesting find! That bridge plate definitely is in the wrong place. I think I would put that brace beside the bridge plate on the other side of the plate, in the lower bout, thats where most of the stress under string tension would be. Just my 2 cents. Cheers!
Good video James, 🎸🎸🎸👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😊
Hey that doesn't look so bad now that it's disassembled.on another note sorry your broadcast or what ever you want to call it didn't work as planned .I know it was disappointing it was for us too.better luck next time.
The wood is Birch and it is solid wood what I have seen of it. That is what my supper tone 1930s mandolin is made of.🎸🎸🎸👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😊
What about using a hair dryer to heat the old glue?
That works as well, most anything that can get heat to the glued area.
Nice job removing the back off the guitar with very little damage. I think you are probably right in your assessment of the bridge plate not located where the bridge pin holes go through.
Thanks Dale. Never a dull moment here.
Yes indeed now let's see if that top will straighten out.hydrate it well and put it between 2sheets of plexiglass or something flat and sit something heavy for 2 days or more.
Rattlecan Guitar Restorations what kind of paint think they used think it is all lead based paint? Some old guitars use lacquer.
I would imagine it is and certain not something to consider if you are going to strip paint down to wood. Be safe.
I guessed wrong in an earlier comment, that top crack is definitely a thru and thru so definitely not a plywood top. Good work, that will be tons easier and better repairs with that back out of the way.
So in real time how long did it take to work all the way around the top? People with no patience don't do this kind of work.
Probably 2-3 hours. I don't think the iron was hot enough because I was gun-shy about messing the paint up. Patience is something I prayed for....once. ;-)
He must have answered that pray cause like I said before, "this is not the kind of work for people with no patience".
I suppose He did, I've had all kinds of need for it since then...LOL!
Perhaps maybe a Japanese flush cut saw?
I'd rather pull it apart with the occasional damage rather than cut it the whole way 'round. But I do need an excuse to buy one of those.
I was only thinking about the area on the neck heel. I think you were doing very well on the rest of it. Having a decent internal view might make the saw safer.
Kinda cool construction for a kids guitar , ps pm sent
