Fender Stratocaster | Old Guitar Restoration 

LOL! Fender!! That plywood body aint fooling me! Good Job though. Now its worth $2.99!!

it broke my heart that you removed the original finish. It looked so cool.

You labeled this as a 1992 Fender Stratocaster. Yet the headstock mysteriously has no logo and is not even the right shape. Come on, dude.

That’s the “Plycaster” with “True Laminate Sound” technology! 😆😂🤣🤣…😢

Not a single Fender original part in this guitar

Ah, the NotFender Plycaster™️ my favorite brand. It's also interesting how the body is all jacked up, yet the internals and wiring look perfectly fine 🤔

This is not a Fender Stratocaster. You mislead us dude. Cmon

Plywood and not a Fender or even Squier I would say. Nevertheless, a calm and soothing video with lots of craftsmanship tips. Heads up!

When you sand a radius into a neck with a radius sanding block, you don’t want to wrap the sandpaper around the sides of the block because it changes the radius of the final piece due to the sandpaper bending at the edges. You want to glue the sandpaper to the bottom of the block. This will give you a much better radius on the neck. When you are dealing with a small radius like 7.25, changing it the tiniest bit can drastically change the final radius. And you can end up with uneven surfaces where the radius changes randomly. Now I know this is just a RU-vid restoration, but if you ever do this for a customer or for your own guitar that you mean to play regularly, use glue.

ragazzi, oltre a restaurare questa "chitarra" forma simil Stratocaster, il tipo è un vero professionista nelle inquadrature e dettagli, fotografati in maniere eccellente. Bravissimo per l' ottimo set fotografico!!!

Yes replace the Strings, the pots, the wiring, the bridge, the neck, and the body. Easy restore.

Мне кажется, это то, чем я должен заниматься. Трудностей ее вижу, ну, может, тоько с электроникой я не очень, но всё остальное посильно, и, главное - нравится!

It's not a Fender guitar, it's a laminated plywood guitar.

Repeat upload of a fake Stratocaster restoration

Cuánta paciencia 😅 te felicito por todo lo q haces! No puedo dejar mirar esos vídeos 🙌 un verdadero maestro de la restauración ❤

A mi juicio y comprensión del tema, estas personas tienen de mí todo mi apoyo y respeto, porque con toda una amplia gama de valores como; pasiencia, pasión, dedicación, conocimientos, disposición al cambio, reconocimiento del buen arte, y sobretodo amor por lo que hacen, logrando hacer de un deshecho una renovada obra de arte mas allá de formalismos.

That is clearly not a Fender Stratocaster. It has a plywood body and neck. Nice try.

What's the difference from building a guitar from scratch. You would save the restoration... Amazing work none the less. Well done!

Trabalho artesanal parabéns 🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏👏

🎼🎶📽 OK! Clickbait. But I don’t really care. Anyway, I’ve done lots of Resto’s, Mods etc., so I wanted to watch. I must say after watching the entire Video that You Produced, I really was Impressed by the Quality of The Work put in to making The Video! And I was Very Impressed at Your painstaking attention to Detail in All Aspects of The Process! You are a Very Good Craftsman and Tradesman and now I will also add that there are not many left that can and will do this work with a real sense of Pride and Meaning! So, with that Sir; I Commend Your Talent and Fortitude! THANK YOU!

If that's a Fender, I'm Leo Fender

I wonder how all that rusted pitting sounds through an amp on the clean setting sounds... I bet the intonation on the bridge is also spot on too...

now thats what you call "custom shop reliced" they went way too far especially on the neck so you dialed it right back . looks great! and i adore how you restored that old radio. infact my parents had an old bush radio and i actually wired in a jack so i could plug my guitar in to it.it sounded great with a fuzz pedal when i was like 14 or 15! ha ha! thats what kids used to do back in the late '70's

Looks like a Squier to me. At least the neck. The Squier decal was sanded off leaving the Fender designed/backed part.

Before you fixed it the guitar looked exactly like the one in my room exept mine is in better condition and it was a custom made guitar not actually a fender, even though built like a fender. Side note, it was passed down to me from my uncle who got it from my grandfather who died a couple years back and even has a signature from from Elvin Bishop which is pretty cool. Another thing that is cool is that my grandfather made it with a store owner of a local Musicworks store. Ok, i’m just flexing now, sorry bout that😂

Regardless of what it originally was, a nice rebuild. Good work at bringing it to fresh life.

At timestamp 30:16 , i dont think its a flash light. Its an emergency light, installed over doorways in case of a power outage. Great restorations!!! Fantastic craftsmanship!!! ❤❤❤❤ 🎉🎉🎉🎉 😊

Great Video !! I have a left-handed maple neck strat ..white on white she 's a beauty .. Now i know how to do it properly ..Thank You !! 😊👍

Shame on you for removing the fingerboard wear and finish on that neck!

Thanks for sharing these restorations. It's so satisfying to see things brought back from the edge to usefulness. Kudos on the great work.

amazing how everything outside was rusted and full of dirt yet the inside of the pickguard looked brand new. #AnotherFakeRestorationVideo

Not a 92 strat. A Strat copy, but a beautiful restoration. 😍

За электрогитару - РЕСПЕКТ! Отличная работа!👍

Plywood body? Toy instrument tuners? Tiny "Fender" logo, couldnt make it any smaller "Shhhh! Fender might catch us! Make that logo smaller!"

It looks like a lot of work given that you need a new neck and the body is only plywood. is it really worth it?

Never question an artist. Nice work! forget the haters with their "Wall hangers!"

Am really happy to witness😍 these stunning restorations! Bravo!😊

ЧТо я первым делом вижу - сине-полосатый Орфей, за офигеть какие деньжищи 79 гринов за хлам! И да, Фендеров фанерных не бывает. :)))

30 seconds in, this is a masterpeice...

It was quite fun to see how a stratocaster is built! I always thought they were some kind of exotic hardwood and had secret magic installed somewhere! Nice job!

keep the colour original always

That’s not even good for a soda from McDonalds anymore 😪 R.I.P. $2 dollars 1776-2024

Dude why did you remove the original paint?! All you had to do was restoring the fretboard and the electronics under the pickguard and the tremolo system. For the body applying some wood varnish would be just enough!

Géniale cette dame. Bravo, du super travail. 👍👌

Unless you had an old strat neck from the same year, i would have been more inclined to repair the broken head stock with wood glue and clamp it with padded clamps. Then sand it smooth. The downside is it would have had a visible crack in it still. But you'd still have the original wood. And that could contribute to its sound. But finding a vintage replacement neck would certainly be far more desirable (and valuable). Trying to repair the head stock might be a bad idea though. It was just a thought because i hate to see the original wood not be used. Also, i wouldn't use an orbital sander. It could leave swirl marks. I would recommend sanding with the grain of the wood. But overall, it turned out very nice. Kudos for using the radius sanding block.

15:53 The guy behind the synthesizer killed me. I've been laughing for 3 hours now 😂😂😂

My mom still has and plays her 57 hardtail, all original, love that guitar.

That guitar is not a Fender, is a Squire. Fender doesn't use plywood for the body.

Original (fake Fender) colour was amazing, nice balls up chum!

The restoration was very successful, but why does the guitar have to look like new? Why didn't he try to restore more individual parts of the guitar and finish them in vintage style. That would be more authentic than the new look!

Great angles and fun way to watch this incredible restoration bravo man

Amazing. Definitely love them all but, my favorite is the Sratocastor. How did a guitar like fender loose all respect & appreciation. I would buy in the blink of an eye but just spent 3k on a delux. Love it. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful works.❤🙂

Faltou vc fazer o polimento no corpo, fazer a blindagem.. que é muito importante!! Mas foi uma boa reforma na Guitarra!!

The neck, you got a new one, you lost me there.

Just say guitar restoration. Still great information and entertaining. No reason to pretend it’s a fender

constant repeats.,

Fantastic job. Those Radios have the best sound. I hope you get the Tube if you need some. 😊👍

Great shooting. Great job on that rust trap to rocker transformation.

Next time you use the paint stripper put the part in a plastic bag. Vapor and the ability to keep the paint remover finish wet. Most paint will wipe off with a rag

Though not a Fender, it is a very nice partscaster build

Sounding and looking good! Amazing video work! Lord, fixing a beat up guitar... wow.

Beautifully done resurrection video!

That’s some sweet orange peel you have on that finish. Frets will have nice sharp edges too.

I understand perfectly well that the channel was not created for this, but if there is no neck, then there is no guitar. I understand that this is all for the sake of clarity, but after removing the neck, it is no longer the guitar it was before the repair. And I saw that the vulture was in terrible condition. You just have to admit that he's dead. and I consider it necrophilia. BUT I LIKE ALL THE OTHER VIDEOS (unfortunately, you just can't resurrect a tree).

FINALLY a relic job that actually looks good. 🤣

It may be fake, but it’s still kinda satisfying ngl

Sanded off the "srv". That made it look much better

great job! i love watching talented people at work

I don’t know what’s more rare, a $2 Fender, or a $2 bill.

I have this guitar it’s Fender Custom Shop 12 ply with the upgraded Bangladeshi electronics. Got it cause Jimi had one at Woodstock. It’s not a lie if you believe it.

as far as i know if your going to restore an instrument and have to refinish or redone a wood normally use sand paper metod cause the paint remover has a chemical that may damage the wood

6:12 The box in the box in the box xd

Looks like the garage sales in my dreams

Nice plywood body Fender

You are truly an artist! Great save!

Excelente servicio. Tal vez en el futuro haga un vídeo con esta ingeniosa idea. Saludos

This dude change the Guitar

Yet it was still fun to watch.

I don’t get why people want to sh*t on these videos who cares if it’s fake or not. It’s not hurting you in anyway and he’s at least doing work like I want to see you do a better job. Keep going with your videos and don’t listen to idiots who waste their time ruining others lives.

Nice job! 🎉

A Strat back from the dead: absolutely stunning work ! Kudos

Super masterpiece guitar restoration 😀🎉

so very impressive, flawless.

Great effort with the stop-motion animation!

Nice work. Beautiful guitar.

This gives me fantastic ideas

its not a real fender..its a plywood body..maybe just a fender body style from Asain

1:13 Whenever people clip the ground wire off the bridge claw instead of using a soldering iron to melt the solder point and release the wire, it brings me great pain 🥲

Cool! But This is not a Fender.

Great job. You are a Very talented person.

I'm not interested in the pedigree of the guitar so much as you saved a guitar from the landfill. I like a dude who admits that sometimes you just have to go new.Great work in the end.

I'm very jealous that you found that.

Beautiful!! ❤

Да почти как новая была! Взял испортил!

most real restoration video:

All for a video. He’s already Disassembled this guitar many times… This is really just for show

uno buscando relics, y este le saca la pintura...dios

Fascinating job!! Greatings from Spain.

Very impressive
