Crafter J9 acoustic guitar set up

** Warning - long unedited video ahead. Not intended as entertainment but may be of interest to anyone considering buying a Reloved Guitar or anyone whose guitar I've set up ** This video shows me setting up this lovely old Crafter J9 Jumbo acoustic guitar that I took in p/ex on another guitar. This is an interesting guitar in a number of ways - firstly, because there's very little information about it online which suggests that it's not a very numerous or common model and secondly because it probably harks from before the 'full on' days of the internet. It's a guitar that enjoys very good looks with a light top and finish. This finish makes it extremely able to 'absorb' dings and imperfections without spoiling its appearance too much. A dark finish, by comparison, would look a lot scruffier with the same amount of wear and tear. This guitar had a few notable issues, the most significant being that at some point in time it appears that the neck and fingerboard had come apart and been glued (succesfully) back together. This has happened to me with one of my own guitars in the past and it's very easy to re-glue and clamp to give a strong, long lasting repair without any negative effect on the guitar. All except for one thing: it's very difficult to line the two parts up perfectly so you usually get a 'lip' that while being tiny actually feels pretty annoying given how sensitive our fingers are. I addressed this by gently sanding the 'lip' back to flat and adding some lacquer which I then sanded back smooth to a polish. The result is that you can no longer feel the imperfection. I lowered the bridge saddle action on this guitar and did a full fret-levelling which, while it wasn't strictly necessary from an action point of view, was necessary to remove some deep grooves in the lower frets (the result of a lot of playing in over the years). How much the guitar has been loved and played is also shown in the wear to the fingerboard on the first two frets. This I left untouched (had I been re-fretting, I would have sanded it back to a fresh radius) - but it has no negative impact on the way the guitar plays or sounds. The end result is a very nice-sounding jumbo guitar with a nice action and lovely high-geared tuners (very accurate!) that's a joy to play - even with its few dings and scuffs.
