Video: Removing a JF-30 neck

[DeArmond Hammer]

I thought this video was interesting, showing how a luthier removes a Guild acoustic neck. He has some comments about the relative difficulty of getting a neck off a Guild compared to other makes.

The 3 videos are great to watch, he knows what he does: But I was surprised he doesn't protect the guitar a bit better during the repair. I have seen luthiers taking a bit more care not to scratch the good parts of the guitar. Also removing the neck purely by hand is brave, usually most luthiers I have seen use some neck removal jigs. And he still used a bit too much water in the steam. But I have to say I also removed a neck exactly as he did...But that was my own guitar not a customers guitar.

I just finished going through all three in the set - very informative - a bit lengthy at times - still worth watchin all 3.

Very interesting and informative videos.
My only complaint is the editing which was terrible, and very amateurish.
Far too much reiteration of the same fact, and unnecessary showing of repetitive operations. The total time of the three videos could have been substantially reduced without comprimising the important information, or steps in the process.

I'd rather be an air traffic controller in Atlanta than do this! I don't even have a profanity lexicon large enough for this job!
