That was as clean of a neck removal as I've seen while watching guitar repair videos. I'm not a luthier, but I very much enjoy watching you gentleman and ladies who are do your thing. The wood on this instrument is simply beautiful. I'm hooked to see how this project comes out!

That Brazilian rosewood looks like a piece of antique Georgian furniture. Beautiful. My favourite wood. That will look amazing once finished/ polished. Loving the videos

Just about the easiest neck removal I've seen. Great work!

Coming soon! Thanks for your support - means a lot.

Liked it. Well done.

Lucky to have little relief, most of these old Martins pre adjustable trussrods have too much. If it has been refretted it could have been compression fretted. Likely not in this condition but something to think about. Martin quality control is great but I sometimes see new ones where the string pull isn't perfect. Luckily you'll be able to get it just right with the reset.

Yeah I’d much rather too straight than too much relief and you’re probably spot on regarding compression frets. I’ll see how I go with the existing frets and worst case scenario will put some new ones in there.

Did you examine how the fingerboard extension and the bridge line up with the join of the two halves of the soundboard?

Yeah there honestly wasn’t much in it

Not sure why you are resetting the neck when it looks like the saddle is too high. Heavier strings would pull enough relief in the neck.
