Couldn't agree more. And I totally understand someone wanting to repair their cheap guitar. It will double in value to them when they get it back, due to not only the little extras they get as his customer, but also because the mend adds to the story for the instrument. I quite like the more obvious mends, where you see the craftsmanship, uncamouflaged.

Exactly! Who cares what anyone else thinks? It's your guitar. What, matters is if you think it's worth it to fix. Some people might see it worth it to spend a few hundred bucks to fix a $200 guitar where the next person would just as well buy something else. That can, only be determined by the owner of each particular instrument. 👍

@@rauschguitars my favorite guitar is a $170 bullet mustang. It’s just a great guitar for my style of playing and is still my go to guitar even tho I got a much nicer mustang. The bullet is like an extension of my hands, it’s just so comfortable to play now but the main thing I love about it is the tone I get out of that bridge pick up. It’s something about cheap humbuckers and the short scale that is so unique. While I use the bullet more I still use my new mustang because I just love short scale guitars. I can get some great tones out of that one as well but nothing like the bullet. I’m not even mad I spent the money on it and still like the cheaper one more, if anything I’m happy that my little guitar is truly unique and has a tone that I’m truly happy with.

That being saId, I nicked the tip of my index finger while cutting away from myself with an Olfa knife last week. Those things are surgically sharp, scary sharp, like scalpels, especially their double-honed black anodized blades. I almost never use a standard utility/razor-knife anymore, regardless of what brand of blade I might put into it.

1:34 Very nearly two years ago, while I was biking home from work, my left elbow was occasioned by the passenger side mirror of a hit-and-run driver. (Due to the intensity of the impact, by the time I had recovered my wits the only thing I saw ahead of me was the next set of traffic lights, so the only description of the vehicle I had for the responding officer was "missing passenger side mirror.) As my forearm was trapped between said mirror and my handlebar, I had a crushed palm and a comminuted fracture of the radius. I bring this up because Ted's headstock repairs are very similar to orthopedic surgeons rebuilding broken limbs, and as we are all attached to our limbs, so musicians are attached to their favorite instruments. I know a disabled Veteran in my neighborhood with a prosthetic leg - technologically barely better than a pegleg - and I doubt that he thinks the prosthesis is better than having a plate in his leg like the one in my arm. Regardless of the cost, it's rarely worth replacing a part of you instead of repairing it.

Like you say it's not what the guitar is worth monetarily, but what it is woth to you as the player/owner. I have a 1970's CMI 12 string guitar that suffered a similar headstock break and was repaired for me cheaply by a good friend and trainee luthier. If I'd taken it anywhere else to repair I'm sure they would have said to scrap it. 30 + years on I still have it and wouldn't swap it for any other 12 string I've played. It was the second guitar I ever bought and I have always loved it. The tone, the action and playability are better than any other 12 string I've ever played (for me) so I would have, and still would pay whatever it takes to repair it if anything goes shitfaced. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Well, my recently installed straplocks worked wonders, except they pulled out of the wood entirely... well it went cascading across the room in what seemed like half time and crunch. Landed directly on the head stock.... well, the headstock was completely in tact....the damage was actually at the neck itself. The fingerboard separated from the neck with a split just in front of the nut. How the head didn't break off...no idea. Had my guy repair it a few months back and it plays effing great now, just need to sand off a little rough paint around the first 6 or 7 frets.

I'm with you. The sentimental attachment to an instrument sometimes means you'll spend more on a repair than the instrument may be worth, or replacing it outright might cost. There's also the reality that some of the people that look at it in the way that 'it's not worth fixing it" seem to view a lot of things as disposable. From an environmental standpoint, it's arguably better to repair these things than just outright replace them because of the resources that go into manufacturing a new guitar. Those resources might not be scarce, but they are, at the end of the day, finite.

It has cleaned well, so I am debating spline. The fretboard broke at the 3rd fret If I spline, it will be a single center spline. A piece is missing at the top of the break

I have a Epi Dot also. My headstock is not broken. It has no position makers on the fretbaoard and awful black body binding. I paid only $35 for the guitar and I am thing about rebinding it with white binding and refinish it in cherry red. Position markers of some kind would be good.Yea I know the wood is laminated so too much sanding will expose the layers under the top layer. Have you ever re-bound a top and bottom to accept new binding? I can use a binding router bit until I get to the area where the neck meets the body. I also want to bind the headstock and fretboard. To bind the fretboard I will have to refret the fretboard and I am prepared to do that. I know it would be a tremendous amount of exacting work, but what a difference it transform a other wise dull and awful looking 335ish to a deluxe or custom model. I agree to spend the time and money on a inexpensive guitar to morph into a much more appealing model is not a great idea, but I have the time and the money and for what I paid for it, why not! I will take my time and have a great reason to buy tools I will require, at least that’s what I will explain to my wife! Love your channel and you are a top shelf luthier!

Rebinding a 335 is possible if you have a device that holds the bit perpendicular to the sides. That's an expensive tool. If you have the skills to do what you're proposing, and you're willing to invest so much time and effort into the job, it might be more satisfying to build your own creation.

It's funny how some just hate on Epiphone so much. My 1965 Epiphone Texan FT79N needs a neck reset. Is it worth doing? To me it is. I would also like to have the adjustable saddle fitted with a tight plug (not glued in) to get rid of the uncoupled, adjustable, saddle. I just need to find a good luthier in my area, Central Pa.

Sorry, but your diagram of quarter sawn is not correct. You drew a sort of truncated 'through and through' or 'plain' sawn. The boards are cut at 45 degrees to the way you drew them. Your explanation of grain direction is, of course correct. I should say that your videos are great and no, my eyes are not bloodshot!

It's not necessarily 45 degrees; it's in line with the radii of the log.

@@Harmonic14 If that were the case you would end up with wedge shaped planks of wood. Quarter sawn is a compromise between the ideal and the pragmatic, and is cut at 45 degrees to the vertical and horizontal.

Guitars are individualistic two guitars of the same make and model won't play the same or be as good, some guitars are just better. Should you be lucky enough to find one that is special and will deliver a great sound FOR YOU, repair it. The through away culture of today don't know Shinola....

That's the kind of break I had. On a china kit neck I made into 24 frets set into a cherry wood explorer shape i made .. I didn't get it back from where it was when it broke. For 4 months. So. Dust. Humidity. Dry . Ect .. I tried to squish it from the top. Using two thick E strings on each end. To pull it tight into Break. Only problem. I had already changed the headstock into a hockey stick style. Trying to line it up. And keeping even pressure. . nightmare. Within a couple weeks I Routed three splines into it. Pretty much taking ALL the break away. .lol. It's still holding. But it was never as good as before the break

Epiphone could make these breaks a lot less common by doing a scarf joint on their necks, but then again, they likely sell more guitars this way.

I feel bad for people that never find a guitar they really connect with and play for years years, regardless of it's price, and want to keep it in good shape. I remember my Dad had a cheap Epiphone SG in cherry red that had a re-fret that costed almost as much as the guitar did lol. He had other guitars that were much more expensive than it but we both played that SG a ton.

Not my business how much money someone wants to spend on guitar repair, or why. And that works in reverse as well.
