I would never attempt a task like this on my own, but the information is good to know! Also a joy to watch an artist at his work. Thanks, Ted!

I love that you recogniozed the maker's experience as a repairman and that the truss rod nut, once removed allowed the rod to clear the soundboard. It's that little stuff that makes a world of difference. If not planned, what is litte, when not done properly, becomes very big down the road.

They just did that to get the rod in originally. Nothing to do with fixing it later.

The longer this guy does this- the more he sounds like Werner Herzog

I don't know where you live but here in New England a brisk fall day usually means lots of ticks. Check yourself over carefully and throw your clothes in the wash, or at least in the clothes dryer, to dislodge and kill the little buggers; then you can out in your pajamas and watch Ted work! (I live less than an hour away from Ground Zero for Lyme disease and so you can never be too careful! )

Fun linguistics fact - Božo is a common shortening of the full name Božidar, which is actually two words fused together, translating to "God's gift". Then english turns Ž into Z and it becomes a synonym for clown

"Prdanovack"? Probably PRODANOVIĆ. i get more worked up with age... my english is decent, and a lot of it is ... DECENCY. So be decent in return. It is not so hard. PRO DA NO -VIĆ. Vić is not "vick". It is a Soft "CH". Examples of it can be found all over the internet, and i am confident that any english speaker can say it, as i can speak english just fine ( unfortunately with a US accent, but what can you do...), yet even a hard CH would be better than CK. like when you pronounce Russian surrnames.

" God's gift, a clown",

Ted videos were made for a nice cool fall day, when the leaves are changing and there’s a warm soup on the stove.

I have found, through the years; that it is easier to keep a tool (or knife) sharp, than it is to get it that way the first time. I think doing so also adds to its longevity. I have a translucent Arkansas stone that is so fine, it feels like a piece of cold glass. Nice work with the chisel.

Sure wish these were longer. We're lucky to get what we do get. Thanks uncle Ted.

Fascinating... It truly has wonderful overtones. The choices of woods have served the guitars voice in a very delightful way.

Just getting back to my home garage after a test drive on my Mustang. It has new rear control arms, adjustable upper and lowers and sorta like Ted is doing here, a bunch of measuring and adjustments. Snagged my wife and myself a nice Latte from the local coffee shop, checked my notifications on the iPad on my workbench and boom! A perfect video to enjoy my coffee to 👍. Next is wash the car up and I’m ready for the drag strip next weekend. Life is good. Twodfrd is a contributing factor. I do have a co-workers Sears Teisco SilverTone model 319 on my bench. It’s been in the attic for years, it’s a 1960’s model, really decent shape and more importantly complete. It still has a strap on it, hardened with age, probably the origin one it was sold with. Should be a fun project! Lookin forward to starting that this week.

I'm always impressed with Ted's scalpel work - Often enough my use will track off the line and create a deep scratch - my solution to this is to use the back of a number 11 exacto blade - to create the initial scoring mark and I follow with the blade - works every time but I've yet to trust myself again to just use the sharp side.

Wonderful episode again!

Fantastic information and history. I recently acquired a Bill DeLap classical. He only made 9 of them in the 80’s. Talked with Bill over the phone for more than an hour, two weeks ago. Bill built custom electrics for Allan Holdsworth as most may know. Still builds guitars in Monterey CA. But, like his business card states, “You get what you wait for”. 😊 Takes some time to get one of his amazing works of art.

I really love watching you work. It's so clear that you really love what you do. I just hope that when I finally take my LP Studio in for a setup that the luthier near me cares as much about his/her work as you do.

I have been watching these neck resets and am no longer terrified of them, not that I’d try one myself, but I think I could trust one to someone. For sure I find these luthier vids relaxing

Great work!

The Halloween ref is much appreciated, Ted.

I had a Bozo 7 string. The first O in Bozo had a tuning machine mounted over the center of the O. It held an octave course tuning peg for the G string octave up string. The guitar was not quite as adorned with fancy purfling, and pearl as other Bozos, but it was still pretty pretty fancy looking. It played very well and sounded great.

Ted, thank you for the information and the courage to repair,build and maintain instruments. I have opened a music store in Northern California and I’m working on amazing guitars with confidence . I have been a finish carpenter for a long time, without that basic knowledge of finish carpenter craftsmanship I would not be able to do what I do. But in combination with Twoodfrd and life experience anything is possible. Thank you again my friend. Hope to talk and meet you one day, intel rocknroll..

Sharpal 126n. I cook for a living, used to use wet stones from Japan. Now I use this. Never loses its shape. It’s heavy and the box holds it in place.

Your respectful approach to the traditions of repair can be applied to any walk of life. I believe the original maker is smiling above knowing his instrument found your capable hands.

Interesting guitar. I enjoyed the history on Bozo, as a Leo Kottke fan. Kottke played Bozos I believe at some point. Your talk got me remembering an old catalog I used to get in the mid-70's from a place called "Guitar's Friend". Hand lettered, with a sort of sepia toned hippie aesthetic, these were works of art, and they sold only the best acoustics, often smaller builders. I remember Gurians, Gianninis (the Craviola!), Mossmans, etc. Wish I'd kept those catalogs...
