1957 Epiphone SJ-200 Reissue Buffed & Modded 

I get the feeling this guy likes vox a lot

This is incredible, Paul. You completely transformed that guitar! The sheen that’s brought out by a little buffing went a long way in particular.

I have a gibson j200 standard and also a sigma j200 (an 8 year old one with rosewood fretboard, they use micarta for the board and the bridge,imho i think the new ones don't sound as good), my gibson is my prized possesion❤, but the sigma is so close to it!! pound for pound they cannot compare! i was completely put off this and the new epiphone j45 because of that horrible satin finish on them,what you've done looks fantastic!! i think i might be getting a couple of new geets very soon! 😍

Legendary job Paul, looks absolutely stunning! Definitely reckon the mods improved the guitar

Great job Paul, gloss was definitely the way to go!👍👍

Looks great!

How much of the meguires bottle was used in total? Thanks for this video it's inspired me to try. Excellent visuals. How many coats did you apply? Thanks!!

Sending a guitar your place Paul 😍 let me know how much to get it done mate 😘

Hey man, you’ve defo improved the look, think your technique would work on the natural model of this guitar?

I honestly hate the Epiphone headstock and I don’t under stand why they don’t do what Fender does and use the same design for Squier. I love how they did the original Gibson headstock on this and I might pick this up because of that

Thank you Paul!

Very nice job 👍🏼👏🏼 But i will stay with the mate finishing on my 1957 IGC SJ-200 and also the original tuners. I have the Grover's on my Gibson J-45 Standard and I find it a bit chunky 🤷🏼‍♂️ I like your videos very much 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼

I tried two guitars with laurel fretboards, and they are just not smooth enough to justify the price. For that price, it should be rosewood.

Thank’s for the video. Very interresting. I've never done this kind of thing before. Not being talented, I certainly think of calling on a luthier to make it glossy as you did. Especially with a guitar for $1,500. Do you know more or less how much it would cost by going through a luthier?

Hi Paul, What strings did you use to replace the stock Gibson strings? Thanks.

Hey Paul! Great Video! Can I ask that you do a breakdown on the strings that Paul Used on all of his basses in the Beatles? I’m a Bass player and I’m trying to figure out which strings he used for each era, specifically for the Hofner, during the paperback writer. If you could help me out with that, it would be a big help, thanks!

I'd give ten thumbs up for Grover tuners but I only have 2 hands. At least I don't have to use one hand for tuning the guitar the entire time too

Would you consider doing a mod to swap out the saddle for the tune-o-matic setup?

How did the tone/sound change when you did the finish? Did it affect it/make it good worse?

where did you get the 2 screw truss rod cover for your epiphone casino ?

What strings would george have used on his J 200?
