This is the first part of my deep dive into the restoration and reconstruction of this rare classicall Martin C-1R Thomas Humphrey guitar. It was almost completely smashed and shattered, but that doesn't stop me!
Watch to the very end to find out what I will do in the next part ❤️
Also we launch YT sponsorship, and already have educational content about fretworks.
Detailed description of video, tools and agents used soon will be on my Patreon.
