Acoustic Guitar Crack Repair Video

Watch below as Keith Holland of keith Holland Guitars who services the Bay Area, San Jose, Los Gatos and San Francisco area repairs an “acoustic-guitar-crack” that has traveled along the body sides.This video highlights the need to repair an “acoustic-guitar-crack” as soon as possible. Cracks can start out as tiny little annoyances, but can quickly grow out of hand, rendering a guitar unplayable.

The sooner you can get a crack repaired, the better.  A harmless looking crack in an otherwise aesthetic area can easily spread and threaten the structural integrity of the instrument. And if that’s not enough, as time passes the exposed wood in the crack oxidizes, which means that the repair will be more noticeable the longer you wait.

For best results, Keith recommends all “acoustic-guitar-crack” problems be brought in for repair within 24 hours whenever possible.

Guitar Repair Videos Gretsch 6124 Archtop Bridge Install

Keith Holland repairs Archtop Bridge on a 60’s Gretch 6124 Archtop Vintage  Guitar.

In this video, Keith shows a Gretsch 6124 that is undergoing a restoration. When new, this 6124 originally came with an Archtop style bridge that rested on the top of the body. Somewhere in this guitar’s history it had holes drilled into the top for a Tune-O-Matic bridge to be installed.  Keith’s first step was to fill the holes with Maple dowel rod.

The next step was to shape the bottom of the bridge so that it makes a matching fit with the top of the Archtop. This is a little tricky, and Keith decided to make a video so you can see how its done in order to make a solid contact with the top.

Can a Gibson EBO Truss Rod be Replaced?
The subject of this neck-saving procedure is an amazing Early 60’s Gibson EBO Bass!….

Its not too difficult to find a guitar tech that will answer this question with a simple “no” and nothing else. For most instruments, the de’facto method of dealing with a damaged truss rod is to install a new neck. But there are some greatly cherished instruments that deserve to keep their necks. And for these lucky instruments the real answer is YES, a truss rod CAN be replaced. In this video series, we get to see what’s involved as Keith goes under the fingerboard.
