"Splines" in the headstock of a Gibson is like an upgrade.

"It's not a real Gibson unless it's got a broken headstock". It had me rolling.

I will watch a headstock repair video EVERY time, MULTIPLE times. You're pretty much my Bob Ross.

I love watching talented craftsmen restore destroyed items, be it guitars or anything else. That's why your channel is included in my subscriptions, Mr Woodford!

That is not an okay repair, that is a great repair. I wish I had your patience, Ted! Not to mention your expertise. Watching your videos is better than watching a mystery movie, as each second plays out you hold me in suspense of your next move! Thanks so much for taking the time to make them!!!

Oh man, love the stop-go animation sequence of the crack in the neck talking to us - bloody hilarious my friend! No either you’re going slightly stir crazy during the lockdown madness or you’ve stumbled upon some comedy gold that you should include in future videos (or both). I just love it!

lol

Thank you so much for posting. I was particularly interested on how to pair down the splines to blend them back in to the guitar. You explained it so well that anyone with patience could manage it. They turned out so well that I'm not going to cosmetically cover them up. I will leave them as a badge of honor. 🤝

Thanks again.

As a SG owner myself, this makes me want to make sure I never actually need to do this repair lol.

haha I lost it in the requiem for a dream scene. amazing repair as always Ted!

Hats off to you....that was a beautifully done repair. Oh, thanks for making me even more paranoid about my Gibson....

Really appreciate the extra work you put in there with the requiem for a dream stuff and the Disney princess. Your videos are always surprising, funny and smart, on top of super informative, brilliantly executed and a show of true workmanship. Can’t get enough of them!

I never get tired of watching you fix headstock breaks. The most important thing is that you are saving an instrument.  Music is SO important, you certainly do your part to make the world a better place. Thank you!

The splines where so well done my initial thought was stain them black or leave them unfinished so they stand out vs blending in but the final product is epic.

A+ repair work as always, and A++ Requiem for a Dream hot glue montage.

My 1989 '61 reissue SG fell down a flight of stairs at a club in it's case. It's my favorite guitar I've ever owned. I was so scared that I didn't open the case to look at it until the next morning, because I was certain I'd have a break. I really lucked out and all was good. I know how lucky I was.
This was a great repair you did here. Very clean work.

4:30 comedy gold 😂

I laughed so much at that bit with the syringe I even showed my wife. Made my night lol

4:29 That's gold! Did not expect that

Haha. The fever dream at 4:30 XD
