My grandad's old 1969 Silvertone acoustic has a bad bow where neck joins body and a local shop said it couldn't be repaired because that model guitar had only a partial length truss rod that didn't go all way through to inside the guitar body

Do those humidity packs really work. The ones in MusciansFriend that say they'll maintain a 47% humidity.

@XmyAssYTmofo

I like the dampit brand.

as long as you check them they work

[Socioistic]

Davey, why do we still make uncutaway guitars with a fretboard all the way onto the body like that? There's no comfortable way to play on those last like 5 or 6 frets, and it just seems to either sink, or hump up, causing problems later on.

Dave, your videos keep me informed, entertained and laughing! Way better than any TV program. Keep the videos coming. I love seeing all the different guitars arrive sick and leave healthy! You are the man Dr. Dave!

@stringbender57

Hey thanks for taking time to comment !!!

[Digideus]

This video highlights why I never want to tackle fixing an acoustic! Theres so much that, just from your videos, is commonly wrong with these things that the amount of work involved in getting them to work seems almost impossible to really do to your own desire. I guess this whole idea of evaluating the job before you tackle is comes in useful and Im a believer in Davey's method!!!! Looking forward to the BC Rich Batman warbeast!!

[indianjjy]

looks like a repair that was not finished. a real shame...

[davey4557]

@indianjjy

done badly

that's what I see.

glued correctly you would not see a line are a transition on the top

[amunderdog]

I always look forward to you playing the repaired guitar.

Maybe you could play them before repair also?

Thanks for the videos

[cowtippingrocks]

you really do get a lot of failed repairs from amatures.. If i ever bring you my les paul you'll see a prime example of what the bone head before me did to it.

[narutosaenz]

hey dave do you know what the specs are for a classical guitar, i have one and i know the action is high because it has bellied up a bit

[davey4557]

@narutosaenz

Classical guitars have very high action and it's fine due to the easy play of the nylon strings. I rarely see a classical for repairs :)

[Denvermorgan2000]

if there is one thing i hate its when they make a know in the end of the string.

[acdc933ty]

Your the man dave!

[TheZebra555]

dave..what are your thoughts on neodymium pickups...q-tuners?

[davey4557]

@TheZebra555

they look fancy :)

do they sound that fancy?

nice demo on the site

[TheZebra555]

@davey4557

They are the cleanest power driven pickups I have ever used. They distort very well but at the same time keep the note clear and precise. They have adjustable poles 36 per pickup on the humbucker style model. They are unique and I am sure not to everyones liking. I would like to try them on a 335 and see what they do...

[jobryan26]

I live in Florida and never used a humidifier on my acoustic, should I be? Any recommendations?

[davey4557]

@jobryan26

what's the relative humidity ?

probably high

ocean air can create too much humidity in your case

we worry about the moisture being suked out of things here

[jltrem]

Also, Dave, your hair looks good. Don't get another buzz cut.

[davey4557]

@jltrem

you can be my new stylist :)

[jltrem]

It's always the G that pops.

[jltrem]

Yea, Dave! Nearly a video per day! Makes my day. A lot of work for you, but a lot of pleasure for me. Dave is King.

[jasonr123guitar]

It's amazing how much work and hassle can be saved with the purchase of a $10 humidifier and taking 30 seconds a week to fill it during the winter months!

[jasonr123guitar]

@jasonr123guitar By the way, love the videos Dave.

[PCashie]

Hi Dave: The action on my takamine is about this high, but I have a slight hump on the lower bout just by the bridge. Do you think I need to humidify it? or is it already to moist.

Cheers

Paul

[davey4557]

@PCashie

humidity never hurts

especially in winter
