Would you be so kind to tell me what original color this pickguard came in this 1960s era ? I believe it was black like this one ! My guitar had one but in vinyl black cut exactly to the same specs so i threw that one away and now this is the only thing to be close to a 100% Martin D-28 !! Thanks in adavanced and yes..... you are one of my best YT channels for my guitar rebuild curiosity !

Wow! This was such an enlightening post! Now I have so much respect for the luthier that fixed my mom’s 66 D28! The factory did new frets, bridge and headstock repair in 83, then it recently had the headstock fixed again (it was coming undone) and the neck reset. I took it to a luthier a few months ago to address some buzzing on C chords. Felllow measured all the way up and down, played it, looked it up and down, and told me it was my hand position. I was flabbergasted. He could have taken my money and just cleaned the guitar. He told me I was likely gripping too tight or not getting good position. Martins are special for a reason. My mom’s is definitely a player. It has never been a case queen. Thank you for posting this video.

A handy tip to get off heavy adhesive like that off things is to use just ordinary household self raising flour. It will stick to the adhesive and you can easily roll it off along with the adhesive. It's much easier and less stickier than just rolling the adhesive by itself. Then you just hoover/brush up the excess flour and give a final clean up with naphtha or lighter fluid and polish it up and it's good as new. In my day job I use flour to clean grease off kitchen equipment that can't be gotten wet like parts of a microwave, deep fat friers, delicate parts of evens etc. Works just as well to get adhesive off guitars.

Lots of good information. A note about intonation compensation. While the act of pushing down a string does increase the pitch of the string, intonation compensation is also needed because of the physical characteristics of each sting. The thicker the string is the less elastic it is, therefore the thicker strings have a "dead" spot where it passes over the saddle. It doesn't actually vibrate at this point, but further away from the saddle. With an electric adjustable bridge you can see this pattern. The wound string's saddle all shift up a bit at a fairly consistent pattern but once the strings change to plain steel, which is more stiff than wound, the saddle jumps back a bit. The remaining plain steel strings will then continue to shift in a fairly consistent pattern also. A Classical guitar with nylon strings needs no slant to its saddle because all the strings have generally all the same flexibility.

I could not agree more when you mentioned that it's not always about the recommended specs but about what you can get away with. It was only after I saw those very numbers when I realised the high action (that I'm used to by now) was preventing buzzing on the lower strings (even after making several saddle adjustments and checking both the neck and the nut.) I'm by no means a pro but you along with several others on this platform inspired me to start somewhere.

As someone with perfect pitch I can confirm: the intonation problem that is inherent to fretted instruments is an absolute nightmare. The other problem is: as recording engineer, when you start layering guitars with synths that don't have this problem, it can cause all sorts of issues. Sometimes we have to tune the guitar to the part and punch in. The joys of equal temperament + equal spacing.

One of the most insightful set-up videos I've seen. I own a similar guitar -- a 1993 HD-28 -- and have done a few adjustments on my own, with some success. This video gave me some new perspective on the entire process, especially the finer points of adjustment and intonation. Regarding intonation, I'm usually content to ignore it, and have never heard any complaints. I also have a 1960 Martin 00-18 and it's had dodgy intonation since day one. A neck reset in the early 90s only made matters worse, but as long as I fiddle with the tuning and keep the capo above the fifth fret I can usually get away with it!

In your local automotive store you may find a product called Blaster DSR (Decal and Sticker Remover). I’ve used it many times and found it safe on most guitar finishes. Even so, I am careful to only get where I want it. If you are familiar with solvent types, it’s a citrus product that smells like oranges. It comes in a spray can and I spritz a dime size wet spot on a rag over my finger for good control of the application. I do more poly finish electric guitar work and have found it didn’t damage that type of finish if I slip but I do wipe up immediately. It is very quick and effective but it can leave a thin oily residue that must be removed as a second step. Alcohol works well for that. Enjoyed the video and nice guitar 👍

No way I'd ever be critical of your nice work, Ted. But I noticed there was little or no mention of checking & adjusting neck relief (maybe too complicated of an issue if that Martin had only the square tube tension rod), nor any demonstration of using a long straightedge atop the fretboard to see if the ruler lands in the sweet spot on or a little above the top of the bridge, to check for whether or not there's a need for a neck reset. I know you've covered those topics in other videos. And again, I'm not complaining. It's only that you'd said at the outset that you wanted to put all of the elements of a setup in one video. Thanks tons, for inspiring me to find confidence in the quality of my repairs. I want at least some of my customers to watch your videos. It can help them understand the reasons behind my recommended repairs. I want them to be informed, so that they can feel confidence in their guitar, too.

Give it 3 to 5 minutes and wipe off any extra and of course all the applied oil. There will be enough on the board to do the job for about a year or slightly less. It should not feel gummy. About every 5th set of string changes and wipe on a bit of BLO. I don't like lemon oil. It's probably okay, but just not my thing. BTW, a can of BLO will be enough to last 500 years.

Thank you for your excellent demonstrations of the skill, experience and time that it takes to repair and set up a guitar. I am confident working to tight tolerances in any material but having some typical starting point is useful. Every instrumentalist should be able to do basic maintenance on their instrument. For more technical adjustments you demonstrate what we can expect from our local luthier. $60 CAD (£35 GBP) for a one hour setup? Here in the UK independant garages charge >£50/hr and main dealers ~£200/hr! I believe your skills are worth more than that. The whole concept of either an hourly or 'piece' rate is counterproductive. You could do an excellent job in an hour for $60/hr and I could spend two hours doing a poor job for $100/hr! In the UK there is a rule-of -thumb for self-employment, an employer will provide you with work space, tools and benefits equal to your salary. i.e. If you can command $40/hr as an employee you need to charge $80/hr. You are a sucker for assisting the 'hard up musicians' who can afford to own a multi thousand dollar guitar but want to pay you bottom dollar to achieve its value!

WD-40 will get that sticky goo off the pick guard. The petroleum distillates in it will soften the adhesive and the lubricants will keep it from re-sticking.
