1918 Gibson

One of the most informative and soothing voices in the guitar repair game. Thanks for all this Ted.

Just witnessed an instrumental resurrection. Most impressive, Ted. And who doesn't love a 1918 Gibson through an overdriven humbucker?

A foot switch for the dremel is a game changer for me. Keeping the mind and two hands focused on the bit and its location.

Wow! That thing sounds amazing acoustically when you play it.

Did any other person over 60 get a middle-school flashback as the fan in the background emulated a 16-mm projector and Ted's sonorous voice mimicked the man who would describe the wilds of the African plains?

Thank God for a Ted video to relax us in these troubling times!! Thanks, Ted!!

I believe the new watchers will have much of this go right over their head. Not because of the narrative-it’s excellent. But Ted makes many decisions based on years of working on vintage pieces, so it all sounds easy. “wavy fretboard”? Handled. But not without experience- the delicacy of working with ebony over 16 years old alone just blows my mind. But his best practices guide the project through. The tonal character of the guitar is hard to judge on YouTube. Nothing was concealed, so I trust the finished instrument. So many people would put laker pies with flames shooting out-all done in abalone inlay. All in Alma satisfying journey. Thanks Ted!

Thanks for sharing! She’s an oldie but a goodie Kalamazoo!!!!!

Sounds better than expected acoustically and with...what are those flatwounds!

"Fret Tang Nippers" was one of my FAVORITE Swing Bands!!!

Love that pick-up install... The amplified sound is warm as toast.

bone dust and Ebony, is that a 90's gangsta rap duo?

Acoustically, that is one of the best sounding guitars you've played at the end of any of your videos. Yes, it is a bit boxy but every note you played rings like a bell. I dig it. Good work.

A rich old friend appeared at my place and announced that she loved luthiers. I agree! What a treat to see your knowledge and skill.

Nice piece of history! Kinda fun to think of how old it is and it’s still out there entertaining people 👍

Wow, I never expected that tone. The frets sounded amazing and the tone from the body of the guitar was a cross between a parlor guitar and a J-45. Yet another treasure from the hands of the master.

Very nice way to play us out.....great sound and playing.

Love that angular sweep of the file on the fret ends. So satisfying.

I really love , how this guy is so literate & historically knowledgeable....reminds me of when I was a kid , hangin; 'round the Fret House , in Covina Ca w/ John Taylor & Bob Winokur...anyone who was there , would know what I mean....was the top repair shop , in Los Angeles....time sure does fly....keep up the good work Woodford RJ

Would love to have one of these, Thank you Ted for the introduction, the search is on.
