My Uncle Red who is 97 or 98 years old bought a J-45 in his return to the States after the War in 1945, and he is still living in Mississippi, and I have played it. It is in great shape other than finish checking. over the body. He played it with Hank Sr at the County Fair in Yazoo City, Mississippi. I have the old recording that was recorded at the local Radio Station on reel to reel but has since been put on a CD. It is scratchy but you can definitely tell it is Hank Williams. An awesome Guitar you have there twoodfrd., thank you for sharing.

I'll never do guitar work at anything approaching this level, but I do know enough to do rudimentary care and feeding. What watching this channel has given me (aside from scads of sweet sweet dry wit) is much more preparation and situational awareness with the work that I can do. I really like how thoroughly Ted looks ahead and anticipates, saving not only himself but future owners and repair people an appreciable amount of hassle. Or to put it another way, this channel has done a lot to help me get better at doing repairs and maintenance in a way that makes it less likely that I'll have to do it again in a year, or that today's repair will cause or exacerbate tomorrow's problem.

that old girl sounds great, you Sir are a craftsman. I recently got a mid 70's Gibson J-40 that was a factory 2nd, it's actually stamped second below the serial. I know there were some good guitars that came out of the Norlin era but this old girl plays and sounds beautiful she's not a beauty queen but the worn ones are like that for a reason. someone loved playing it and I'm honored to be the custodian of it now....

But a great father gifted it to me new for learning 3 tough songs. 3 great luthiers made stable design improvements to open it's voice over the decades. Each had the surgeons calm patience Ted has. Ted! I find myself caring emotionally for the stringed instruments you share with us like they were my very own. The sound quality you get for the demo at the end is amazing. But I bet it's humble equipment placed at just the right angle. Thanks Ted.
