Videos in the can

Post by tippie53 »

Glenn LaSalle spent 2 days taping in my shop. We got a lot done and many videos came from your questions and ideas. We will keep you posted.
One video was a neck pull with 2 guitars to show you the similarities and differences . I pull at Stella from the 20's and a 47 Martin , then we reset the neck and strung up the Stella along with changing the nut and saddle.

A few repair videos on loose binding and side cracks so you will have a good bit to take in. We do this to pay it forward so we hope you find this helpful

I've been at this off and on since '72 and always get new insights from watching your videos.
Many thanks John

Neck reset of a stella and we put it back together so you can see the whole process even to make a nut and saddle
Pulling a martin neck and cold wet pull of bridge that you know has hot hide glue
side crack repair using super glue and epoxy
carving a neck heel
Binding repair with CA and duco
Bending technique

My job was easy smile and talk guitars Glenn has the hard work to edit and make sense of what I say
