Sorry to hear about your kidney stone experience. I had one once and the amount of pain generated was almost unbelievable. I will pass on the advice my urologist gave me, he said “I only see the patients of mine that don’t drink lots of water.”
I drink nearly 3 liters of water a day now trying to avoid kidney stone #4! I've been lucky as they haven't been that painful and I've had them ultrasonically blasted to pieces before having to pass them (the two big ones got stuck between the kidney and bladder).
7:17 The double pickguards would be for when you’d want to stick your head thru back of the guitar, and pose for a picture as the comic strip character Cathy
I had kidney stones twice in my life 30 years apart…and the pain is so absolute and unique that as soon as I got the first pang the second time I immediately knew what it was. Amazing how a tiny stone can bring a person to their knees.
It's been said many, many times, and I'll say it now. It's enjoyable and relaxing viewing your videos. The history lesson, thoughtful approach to repairs, and masterful skills utilized in said repairs makes for entertaining, educational youtube time. I occasionally watch another repair guy, super nice man, honest, hides no mistakes he makes, but watching his approach to repair tends to elevate my blood pressure. My wife doesn't let me watch him anymore.
There's several who would otherwise have a decent channel but who have to go to left field and I think, "Umm...". I grew up with guns. That will inform you about who is a shithouse lawyer really fast. 🙄
Yup, love every new Woodford show from Tim. Have to do some work on a few electrics in my shop tomorrow so always puts me in the correct meditative and focused state of mind to get the work done properly. Just happen to be wearing my Woodford Headstock Re-Capitation Service T-shirt tonight by chance. Have to agree - love the word "decrepitude" almost as much as "re-capitation" 😎
Hank Williams said, he played his Martins on stage only and saved the Gibson's for the Honky Tonk's . when asked why he said Gibson's can take a beer bottle better than a Martin....
Ted, thank you for making these videos. I've been playing guitar since about 1957 or 1958, and admired guitars and their sound since about 1954-5 when I would hear my Dad's jazz records. Your dispassionate yet humorous discussion of all things guitar (and bass and...) is delightful and instructional, even for someone who will never build or repair a guitar.
Sympathies on the kidley stone. I've been laid up for a week with them. Always fun to note the passing references to things that expose the breadth of your reading. From geology to Camus.
Hello Ted, with this harsh/cold/interminal winter in the states, the one thing ( of only a few ) that cheers me up a bit is a dose of twoodford. Cheers, mate. Bob in Montana
I love old Gibson acoustics, so really looking forward to seeing how these turn out. I have every confidence that you'll end up with three guitars I'll drool over, Ted.
The big extra thick pick guard looks like a surfboard fin from the angle you filmed while measuring the thickness with your micrometer. 😂 Love your content, history lesson adds so much. Thanks 🙏🏻
I get great joy in watching your videos. But I could never do it because I actually like playing guitar. If I had to deal with the stuff that you deal with every week I don't think I would like the guitar any more. Wish you luck in keeping your sanity.
When ever I’m stressed, and find a need to improve my mental health, I either go birdwatching or watch your videos. They are one of my go to therapy tools for which I thank you 🙂. Can’t wait to see a new one arrive in my tray 👍
My heart broke so many times as you were documenting the previous work done in the SJ. I do not mean to demean the work of previous luthier, i am just so very glad they ended up in your shop as i love Gibson jumbo acoustic guitars. These guitars deserve to be saved for generations to enjoy.
Great content and history information as usual, sorry to hear about your kidney stone i had one years ago and it wasnt fun, good to see you had a mention on the Driftwood Guitars page who utilised your neck removal method ...and finally....im looking forward to the next instalment...
I haven't commented before, but I thought it was time to say thank you for making great videos that have been something to look forward to for years. My favourite channel on CZcams. Have a good one!
Dear Mr. Woodford, I LOVE your show. Thank you so very much for these videos! I do love how you accurately incorporate the history of these guitars with your masterful woodworking and luthiery. I have seen EVERY episode. Thank you for posting these. I am blessed to have a masterful luthier work on my instruments. He is a dear friend of mine who is a professional luthier and I do some very amateur luthiery myself. I have focused more on the playing end of the music scene, but have nothing but respect for you people who can do these wonderful things to wood (insert joke here) and string. I am unsure how you master so many different disciplines to do these repairs (especially in one lifetime), but bravo sir! Have a pleasant day.
Speaking of battered, my oldest guitar is a 1960 Kay. Made of plywood, "steel reinforcement", and brass. I've had a blast gluing everything back together and polishing it. Planing my own shim. Replacing nuts, bolts, tuner buttons etc etc. Turned it into a real Frankenstein looking project.
Oh those guards looked terrible on that guitar haha. Great job as always, greatly appreciate your videos and the time you take out of your busy schedule to make these for all of us. Thanks very much.
I enjoy the discussion on the philosophy of repair and restoration. ... the balance between "art" preservation, functionality of play, and general period aesthetics. Very good.
Smashin history lesson Ted, I really enjoyed the video +1 it's great you're restoring these vintage guitars and giving them their voice back with sympathetic repairs. 🏴👍👍👍🥃Respect to you mate. Hope your health is on the mend.
I am excited about this series! I love the slope shoulders from Gibson. A J50 is one of my absolute dream guitars. With the big pickguard. Because plenty of people have sounded great with those.
2023 that $45 would about $826. The idea that an American made Gibson could be had at retail for this price insane and clearly shows how obscene the price for legacy branded instruments has become.
I'm glad you're feeling better, Ted. I pray you continue to recover your health.
Sorry to hear about your kidney stone experience. I had one once and the amount of pain generated was almost unbelievable. I will pass on the advice my urologist gave me, he said “I only see the patients of mine that don’t drink lots of water.”
Never passed a kidney stone but have had a uti that hurt like hell so I drink plenty of water to be safe
I drink nearly 3 liters of water a day now trying to avoid kidney stone #4! I've been lucky as they haven't been that painful and I've had them ultrasonically blasted to pieces before having to pass them (the two big ones got stuck between the kidney and bladder).
I drink tons of water and still get them, I’ve had maybe 7-8 in the last 20 years. They definitely still hurt, but I can work through them now.
@@jimmythekid1 Large amounts of chocolate (contains oxalic acid which forms into stones) and nuts will create stones.

Is it Dave? For me its Dave. His conservative view of bass guitars drives me nuts sometimes
@@waybackplayback1347 huh ??
Jerry elevates my blood pressure sometimes. But he's such a nice guy
Love this! Can’t wait for part 2. Decrepitude is now my new favourite word after watching this video. Loving the history.

I like people who use phrases like "honkin big". That's the main reason why I watch these. Thanks, Ted!
I must be going mad but I saw the double pick guard and thought minion!! I need a lie down
Sympathies on the kidley stone. I've been laid up for a week with them.

I'm looking forward to your next video in this series.
I passed a school bus this morning. This series is going to be fun to watch.
I hope it didn't have it's stop sign out.
Reminds me of a joke I heard years ago: Coach asked a kid if he thought he could pass a football. You see where this is going. 😂
Oh, and sorry for the Kidney stone! Glad it's no longer spending time with you.
I love old Gibson acoustics, so really looking forward to seeing how these turn out. I have every confidence that you'll end up with three guitars I'll drool over, Ted.

I work on guitars all day, 7 days per week, and when I come home I still love watching you work on guitars. LOL.
I think I find your detective work on what's been done before you got it as interesting as the wonderful repairs you do. Great sleuthing!!!
This will be a fun series, hoping the sunburst SJ keeps it's play wear and the other 2 get refinished.
I get great joy in watching your videos. But I could never do it because I actually like playing guitar. If I had to deal with the stuff that you deal with every week I don't think I would like the guitar any more. Wish you luck in keeping your sanity.
These go by so fast. 23 minutes felt more like 5.
thanks for making these videos and i hope you recover well.
I am very excited to watch this series of videos.
Agree on the construction differences. But the sound of these big old Gibsons is great.
Guitar philosophy. Love it!
That tiger stripe material is beautiful. Can't wait to see it on the guitar.
Thanks Ted. I enjoy these posts enormously. You’re the best. D.🙏👍🌟
When ever I’m stressed, and find a need to improve my mental health, I either go birdwatching or watch your videos. They are one of my go to therapy tools for which I thank you 🙂. Can’t wait to see a new one arrive in my tray 👍
Really enjoyable video. Looking forward to seeing these beauties get more beautiful!
Great video - looking forward to part 2 and hope you are feeling better!

'fellow kidney stoner' here! Only the 'brave' who passed through a kidney stone crisis will aknowledge a kneeling pain....Nice video as always
Maybe we need a 12-step group program. I was at the YMCA on a treadmill the first time I knew the agony of renal lithiasis
Absolutely riveting video. Thanks so much. Sorry to hear about your kidney stones.
These are great! Lovely history. Thank you and recover well, kind sir!
Oh man! I’m totally invested into this video now. I’m curious to see that one finished. Come on pt2
Can’t wait for the next video. Good luck!
Ted, you have us hooked. This is incredible. Thank you
The attractive aesthetic of decay
Battered but beautiful. Gibson has the most beautiful sunburst guitars. None better I don't think.
Great content and history information as usual, sorry to hear about your kidney stone i had one years ago and it wasnt fun, good to see you had a mention on the Driftwood Guitars page who utilised your neck removal method ...and finally....im looking forward to the next instalment...
I just love all the nerdy stuff man!
Great episode!
Interesting bunch of guitars, loved to hear your tought process, can't wait for more!
I didn‘t want it to stop 🥺
Ouch. I hope you are feeling better. I'm happy for the Tuesday video I was not expecting.

Interesting projects! Thanks for documenting it, have a good rest!
Ugh sorry to hear about the stone . take care in your recovery
I enjoy the history of the guitars you book in, thanks.
I really appreciate your work.
This was fantastic, I can't wait to see the follow up. I always learn SO MUCH from your vids! In the meantime, I hope you feel better fast!
Thanks, Ted. I love listening to you talk about guitars.
Thank you so much Ted for your videos. You are a pleasure to watch and learn from your art. Hope you feel better.
thanks Ted, brilliant as always. Good health to you Sir.
Glad to hear you’re doing well, and love these videos. This one’s keeping my mind occupied while dealing with a foot issue myself. Keep ‘em coming!
Loved this episode / discussion Ted,as always thanks for sharing your expertise 🤙

This is going to be a wild journey. I'm really looking forward to these videos. Cheers.
Awesome Ted, I can’t wait for part 2. 👍🎸🎹🎼👨🏻🦯
Great stuff. Looking forward to further videos on these.
Oh those guards looked terrible on that guitar haha. Great job as always, greatly appreciate your videos and the time you take out of your busy schedule to make these for all of us. Thanks very much.
Still praying for your health brother
Looking forward to these repairs. These are my favorite jumbos ever.
I just can not believe those guitars are functional today! Awesome work! AMAZING
These videos are mind blowing. Totally obsessive viewing. Your a true craftsman
Hope your recovery goes well, lovely video as always.
Kidney stones just suck. So sorry for your pain.
Great stuff, I watch a lot of your videos. Always informative.
Hope you get better soon. Thanks for the background on the Gibsons. It is a very exciting job load!
I enjoy the discussion on the philosophy of repair and restoration. ... the balance between "art" preservation, functionality of play, and general period aesthetics. Very good.
This is going to be a great series! I hope you film it all and take us on a 5-6 part journey.
We don't get to see too many pre war Gibsons in the UK so, that was an interesting video for me. Thanks
And deep fried.
You exhibit amazing patience with these old guitars.
Player grade getting help provides for a great episode. Thanks and hope you feel better soon...
This made my evening!
twoodfrd
I love these Guitars. Power Pins would help w/ restringing
I hit the like button even b-4 Ted starts that's how GOOD he is
Always much enthused to see one of your exemplary vids land on my planet. Thanks. Sorry to hear about your kidney stone. Ouch.
Get well Ted. Thanks for your effort of putting out videos
Brilliant and informative video Ted. It's like having a dose of feel good medicine 🙂
Thanks for posting.
Keep safe 👍
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
I have a guitar in similar state with a local luthier here in Ottawa. Can’t wait to see what it sounds like.
Can't wait for the next installment!
When I first saw the double pick guards my mind flashed back immediately to the mud guards on my dad's old pickup truck!😂
Love it when u drop names like Folkways. Wow, what a nice collection of guitars and services. 15:00
Smashin history lesson Ted, I really enjoyed the video +1 it's great you're restoring these vintage guitars and giving them their voice back with sympathetic repairs. 🏴👍👍👍🥃Respect to you mate. Hope your health is on the mend.
the fella on driftwood guitar channel was talking about Ted - he copied the hot wire neck removal trick with great success on an old Martin.
Ahhhh it’s a good afternoon…
Just saw the latest Driftwood guitars video and lo and behold they talk about your neck reset technique. Great to see them recommending your channel!
Amazing video. As a geologist I appreciate the wood to rock comparisons!
I love slope shouldered Gibson dreadnoughts so these vids are going to be a real treat for me.
As always we get enjoyable history nuggets from Ted and a small nugget that comes under the heading of “too much information”. 😂
I love those guitars! I have a much later j45
Hello from Rochester!
I am excited about this series! I love the slope shoulders from Gibson. A J50 is one of my absolute dream guitars.
With the big pickguard.
Because plenty of people have sounded great with those.

nicely done
Turns out, you can still check out that Gibson flat top guitars book at the library. It's available for check out at the Internet Archive.
