hey Trogg......If you bought this table, you could dissolve the resin and get the guitar out and have it refinished......I've made a few resin pours before that didn't turn out like I had hoped, so i dissolved the resin with acetone......it turns it into a crumbling gel-like material, but it may also react to the binding ......for $2k, it would be worth trying and at the very least you would have a set of vintage pickups and a project guitar to sell!!....AND....every place that looks hazy are spots where the resin is not attached to the guitar, which means they didn't use a pressure pot to set the resin properly.....and that makes it a lot easier to remove the resin and the resin is NOT completely filled in all voids and crevasses.....it CAN be removed to make a profit......the acetone will also make the resin somewhat repell it's self from all other materials so it can be safely, almost wiped from the guitar......but your right, you would have to take in to consideration that the guitar wasn't set in the resin for a reason such as a broken headstock or cracked/separated back.....keep us updated on what your going to do with this!!

@dava4444 Месяц назад

+1 thanks. However.. erm.. you were saying 'resin' weird.. like 'rou-sen' .. resin is pronounced like 'raisin' but with an 'e' instead of a 'a'. Back on topic.. iiwy.. you're not DIY guitar channel Trog mate.. if you were you should'a got that guitar and restored it.. but since you aren't then no.. it's too much hassle for you. If you have a friend that does DIY guitar/luthery/tech etc.. then maybe they could buy it and do a vid for us? otherwise.. no it's not fair on you as a time hog + major hassle.

@Aspkkr Месяц назад

The scary part is that resin gets hot and the more resin you are pouring the hotter it gets, I would bet that this guitar has damage on a level that could not be restored.

@RekEighty Месяц назад

As someone who works with resin, the deep cracks in that reveal pockets that is pulling away from the surface of the body and finish leaving gaps between the resin and body. It could be cut away the bulk of the resin. And a heat gun could be used to soften and pry away the resin. along with acetone soaking on parts. It'd need a full refin more than likely but it looks like most old home style resin pours I've seen. They do get brittle and soft over time which is why it's cracking so much throughout. Someone could invest time and work into it if they really wanted to save it. You'd lose the pots etc but you'd have the shell to work with.

@mikeh.6709 Месяц назад

So you’re telling me I can remove this? I may have bought it…

@RekEighty Месяц назад

@@mikeh.6709 You can if you work carefully around it enough. Cut around it as as close as possible as mentioned and then use a heat gun to slowly soften the rest of the resin and chip away at it with a chisel. The more layers you remove from it it should pry away from it smoothly. Just don't rush it and it would come free enough to start work on. Acetone can work for areas that are a little more stubborn. I've removed items from resin I didn't like the way they turned out, heat gun and chisels work well enough and a little acetone on spots for cleaning off the excess works.

@mikeh.6709 Месяц назад

@@RekEightyI appreciate the insight! will acetone immediately tear apart the finish on the guitar I assume? Also there is a quite a lot of a thin air pocket around a lot of this guitar, which makes it seem more possible, I would just be worried about working around the bridge and tuners, but I guess it would just mean more fine cutting and slowly work it closer to it

If I could get it to NZ, I'd make a video series of trying to free it. It should be possible, with the caveat of causing major trauma. Full refin at least afterwards, if it's not all vacuumed into the cavities as part of the process it'd be possible to get a lot of it off. Probs a refret needed too once you're done, but all part of the excitement right? It wouldn't be economical, so I'd probably take it on as a personal project, but as someone with a buncha black nitro and spare fretwire lying around? I'd give it a punt. Idk, maybe someone would be willing to work with me here.

Clear resin tends to yellow, I believe adding a little blue dye can offset that, but I'm not sure it's right for a guitar. It looks like it has delaminated at the contact with the guitar body (lucky it wasn't a submarine, ahem). Maybe that is inadequate surface cleaning/preparation, but of course that wooden body expands and contracts differently to the resin and there is a wide expanse. The cracking might have been inevitable, or exacerbated by stressing at the mounting/poor resin choice. The table is ugly. A glass-topped table cavity would have been better. I think it is valueless.

Hey Trogly, have you ever come across a Mojo Chessmaster guitar? John Flansburgh plays one, and I’d be very interested to see you document one on your show. I truly don’t know much about them, outside of him, playing them in the band, but he also plays Gibsons and Fenders, both of which I’m much more familiar with, especially more so nowadays due to your show. That said, I certainly think that the Mojo Chessmaster would be a unique piece for your channel, and something quite different from what I’ve seen you document in the past.
