Gibson ES 335/330 TD Vintage very complex Guitar Repair

Very Complex Neck Reset repair on a Gibson ES 335 TD Vintage Guitar made in 1979 my Luthier Workshop.
This amazing Guitar has unbelievable background Story.....
The owner who got this beautiful Instrument from his mother in law and she found it on a Pile of bulky waste with the neck broke out of the body.
The owner decided to bring it to a local Luthier to make this vintage beauty playable again. Unfortunately the repair from my Luthier college didn't last too long and the String Action become to high..... So this Instrument ended on my Workbench.
After the inspection I have noticed that there are a lot of unusual details. There are a lot of scratches and lacquer damages all over the Instrument.
I will separat the neck from the Body and because it turns out to a repair marathon I decided toi make a Video Series about this complicated Guitar Repair.
In this first Part you can follow the process of how to separate the neck from the Body and how to make some Maple Wood Inlays to reproduce the original long Neck tenon on this Guitar.
I will also explain and show a couple of "Luthier Hacks and Tools" in this Video. So if you are interested in my Luthier Craftsmanship stay tuned and enjoy the Video. I love doing stuff like that - if you are interested in more of my Luthier life Projects, please feel free to check out my other extended Workshop Videos on this channel.
Enjoy watching and sharing.
Best Regards Nik
