    Months of work culminate in this revealing episode of Handmade Music. Guitar specialist and repair technician Andy Jellison has dedicated most of his summer to the restoration of a 1935 Martin D18 guitar. The final phase of repair consists of the set-up: dressing the guitar's frets, replacing the nut and saddle and stringing the instrument up. And finally, he hears how the instrument sounds. After final tweaks Andy is ready for shop founder and world-renowned guitar expert George Gruhn give it a test run and review his work. George also talks about the finer points of true and faithful restoration of vintage instruments.
