Thanks for checking in. That certainly should quiet the comments about spending good money to fix a "cheap Jay Turser". Obviously the guitar means a lot to you, regardless of its market value, and now it's immortal. Your dad thinks a lot of you to have this work done, and that's never a bad thing.

This man’s videos actually helping me do the exact same repair on my 2000 Gibson SG bass! A lot of people pass judgment due to this being a cheap guitar, but that’s not what matters! Value isn’t monetary, it’s the love you build between an instrument, and sometimes cost doesn’t matter to getting back. What are you love! I’m gonna be taking the steps to get my bass back to playing condition like this

My son is a professional guitarist, and his favourite guitar has no monetary value, but it's all about playability and sound. The name on the headstock means nothing.

HELL of a job!! Where else would I get a clue? Thank you!

The owner must really love this guitar...a Jay Turser???...agreed $1000 for Jerry's work.

I know its pretty mind blowing that someone wanted to spend the big bucks to repair such a cheap brand of guitar. Had to have some special meaning to the owner. Probably many new or used guitars could have been bought in good shape for the same price as this repair. I guess the trees are thankful!

@@kapstersmusic Yes Sir, i know all this. I repair and prepare those Instruments since 35 Years and i know how People love their Six String Babies. Some can not afford a serious Instrument, some have a special meaning. All i said is only Reality......

@Tall RedEasel $179 if your lucky. I knew a guy in a sludge metal band who played Jay Tursers. He was actually sponsored by them. Total garbage.

@@josephzummo9685 Absolutely, I've NEVER seen a Jay Turser worth anywhere near that kind of money. Some's lying or really got taken. That repair far exceeds what that guitar deserves. Even the cheapest guitars "look" good, but the woods and hardware are low quality. For $1,100, I can get you 4 of them!

Yeah WOW!

THAT is a Jay Turser LP. I HAPPEN TO BE A LONG TIME GUITARIST AND NOW A RETIRED MACHINIST. You really did a great job of repairing that broken headstock. I have that happen on one of my guitars.

Snitch

While i agree it is "excellent work" it was total overkill, Check out this guys method on a much better more expensive guitar, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9ldftyBzZnYf40.html

Or some fool will break it again. I really have no idea why people are NOT CAREFUL with such great instruments. When you own such a thing, either you play, or you have put it back into the case. There is no chance anybody else kicking it in two. Treat it like a marine treats his personal gun. Or get used to such horrible repair situations. Duh! Take better care for the things you should love. Please.

@@voornaam3191 “rifle”! Marines are notorious for being pretty careless with their gun. 😂

The first method and the one I use, gluing two blocks length wise across the break is just as strong as this with about half the labor and time. This blew my mind that he did this this way.

You old people. Lol I’m only 2 years behind you and I just learned this today too.

The same here, at 57 I've just learnt that today!

LOL. Complete with “happy accidents.” Another great fix, Jerry👍

🤣 You guys don't watch Ted Woodford, I assume. Jerry might ought to take a few hours and watch some of Ted's work. He might learn a few tricks & techniques he doesn't know. For example, Ted's done plenty of broken necks just like this. Hes never once complained about how bad it might be or hard it might be. He just expertly repairs it and moves to the next job.

@@J.C... Well, I have watched plenty of Jerry's repairs and never once complained like you have. 😄If you don't like the channel, why do you come here??

@@J.C... yes Ted is good... I watch him sometimes... I guess I've watched every video Jerry has put out..

@@J.C... I watch Ted all the time and I 100% agree with you. This guys is always crying about how har it is to be him. I only watch because of the entertinment value, but when he starts to sing or play his same G-C-D chords at the end of a repair, i quickly shut it down loll! I see no talent as far as a musician or singer in him. I'll be totally honest, I can't watch this guy anymore and have unsuscribed. Supposed to be an instrument repair channel, at least that's what I thought, but he has way too many farming videos and work he does on the farm. It should be done on a separate channel. Very wierd channel in my humble opinion.

Talent is a word from the Bible. The general idea is, do use the opportunities you get. A talent is a coin. It is money. Did you KNOW that?

HELL of a job!! Where else would I get a clue? Thank you!

Hi there 😊. The brand is Jay Turser. I looked it up for you. I am a big fan of your channel. So, now you know how to pronounce it. My late father always told me, you are never to old to learn in your life. And the good man was right. I am learning so much from your video's. Thank you for that. I sent you warm greetings 🙏 from the others idea of that big ocean, from the Netherlands, Europe. My name is Bert de Vries from Hillegom, South Holland state. I am looking forward to the next video. Bye for now.

Peterrr try get yr mindset to110% try to whistle it might give you the energy you might need and like Ginseng root the simpel 450mg capsules max 2perday, 25 bucks max for 60 caps, not after 7 in the evening, haha Peter it's a mad world anyway😉👍

Could you make a platform for your router that has a big channel in the center, like a miter box with very thick sides. Clamp the head or neck in the trough at an angle to the top of the router guide (top of the miter box). Use a router to machine off the wood you will replace with your splice. Glue the 3 pieces together.

Lol. Love these random guys telling a master how to do his craft. So funny.

he reminds me much of my uncle. my uncle was born in 39 and had to consciously wittness the last days of nazi germany. originally he learned wainwright from his father however the profession pretty much died out and a lot of those old jobs got repurposed in the automobile industry and he became a tinsmith at mercedes benz. back in the day the cars were not as uniform however and a lot of adjusting had to be done because tolerances were huge. a common repair from accidents was the engine hood but the new hoods were comming with like 2-3 cm or about an inch of overhang cause as said cars had huge variety back then. so the work instructions he got from the company was to cut the hood to size with tin snips. he tried once against better judgement and said it was a total nightmare cause obviously the hood was all bent and wavey and ruined essentially. so he build himself tools to measure the space it had to fit and mark the hood so he could file it down to size. after he retired i met some random guy by chance and when we talked about profession he said he worked at mercedes in the town my uncle used to work so i asked him if he knew him and he said he was the best tin smith that ever walked their halls and since he retired he's sure they won't ever get anyone like him ever again.

You should come on down and watch the dock workers as they suck and kiss

🤔 $150-200? Must have been a sentimental issue for sure.

Jay Turser Dragon inlay. They made Dragon and Snake models.

Exactly! The inlay is beautiful, but that's a lot of investment to repair a budget, Chinese made guitar, not that there's anything wrong with a budget, Chinese made guitar. A fortunately made, well setup, cheap electric guitar can play and sound every bit as good guitars costing an order of magnitude more.

@@joecaner actually Jay Turser guitars were originally made in Buffalo Grove, Illinois. It is owned now by Davitt & Hanser, a division of JAM Industries in Quebec, Canada. Jay Turser guitars are currently manufactured in China. I agree with your assessment of budget guitars. I own Gibsons, Fenders, and a few Chinese made guitars. The budgets are getting better every year.

​@@WindRider1 Unfortunately, that's an all too familiar story. There seems to be fewer products manufactured north of the US/Mexico border. There are some killer guitars being made in Indonesia so Chinese labor is being undercut.

Yes, à clamp on the neck, and one on the head, with a couple of 2 inch nails for dowels. Done

Yes disappointing
