For instance, the luthier announced that he was about to refret the Hofner, but none of that process was shown (though it must have been recorded). But the refretting process on the Levin acoustic was shown in some detail. You can see that the Hofner refret will probably have been judged to be dispensable within the context of the whole series.


There was a quick clip where I saw him pulling out an old fret, but that was all.
As you say, it was probably all recorded but was edited out in post production.

Baz.

Excellent Jim, thanks for the link.

Thanks, Dave.

For those of us in the UK, the whole episode is still available in the BBC iPlayer. The extract posted on YouTube is for the benefit of those in "the islands" and elsewhere, who cannot access the iPlayer.

Mind you, it is a nice edit, if I say so myself!

Yes, my brother pointed that out to me on the phone this morning! He also noticed, as did I but forgot to mention it, that when the luthier said he had finished, he actually hadn't - there was still a knob missing, no pickguard, and the MOP on the inlay was incomplete. But all this had been rectified when we saw the owner playing it at the end.

Thank you, Jim. I’m glad to have seen that, thanks to you. It is a heartwarming story. I’ve shared it with my Shadows friends.

Best regards to all. Keep safe.
