I cleaned up a Japanese guitar that was covered in bad paint and stickers. 

One thing about these transformations is you get to see the actual quality of the guitar build. You can't hide the bones on these restorations. Great work as always, my dude!!

Shout out to this technician who did not utter a word of frustration during this restauration, truly inspiring.

It didn’t look like a bad guitar, it looked like someone made it their own.

Fernandes are such ridcoulusly great guitars (at least their Japaneze 80s-90s ones), so this one was definitely worth saving.

As always, I like the demo the best. This demo shows how versatile the electric guitar is in the hands of an accomplished guitarist. I’m impressed.

I never understood the whole stickerbomb thing. Especially busting out the spray paint to completely ruin the instrument. These restorations are so satisfying. Amazing that most of these can be rescued.

seeing abandoned guitars, especially ones like this, really makes you wonder about the previous owner(s). like, how they were as a person, what kind of music the played, what kind of life they lived, etc.

ギターが喜んでますね。いい人の手に渡りましたね😊

Amazing🔥🔥🔥 Great Work 💪

This is one of the better sticker bombs I have seen. Lots of personality in that guitar. This might be the only restoration where I feel a little sad for the guitar; sometimes a good sticker is like a tattoo

This video brings the “squeaky clean” expression to a whole new level

I like the OEM paint finish a lot better 😊

Excellent reformation man. IMO, that particular version of the Floyd Rose is well worth keeping. They almost never go out of tune when they are set up right. I have a few different iterations of Floyds and the earlier models with those types of saddles are solid. Great looking guitar and amazing cleanup.

30:03 - I sense a little Stairway To Heaven here! I really like this piece You've written here! 😊 It's beautiful!

最初はどうなる事かとおもいましたが、見事に綺麗になりましたね。👍😀 とても参考になります。 フェルナンデスのどの位のグレードなギターかわかりませんが、エフェクターなどのセッティングと相まってとてもカッコイイです。フィードバックも最高です。 このモデルが欲しくなりました。👍😀

Very cool and underated guitar. Great Job!! You are a pro!!🎸👹🎸

What a great job in this guitar, excellent!!! Congrats!!!

Beautiful job!!

An amazing transformation as always.

You can say someone's trash is someone else's treasure. What a find!

beautiful work ♥️

Nice rescue/restoration!

I like the way you used a rag under your tool when you removed the pickup selector tip..... might as well have not bothered and made life easier when stripping it down!

Great restoration. So much work on removing those stickers! I had two early 90's Fernandes guitars and they were superb. One was a red Strat copy with gold hardware and one was an APG 100, which looked like a dark brown PRS. Sold the APG, regret it now. I can't find the Strat! Guessing it is in some dark basement corner of a house that I may have practiced in. I am going to start calling around for it. I really enjoy your videos.

that's a nice guitar, they make good stuff for sure.. nice score

That came out great!

I luv the restoration work. But there is a little part of me that appreciates the creativity that the previous player put into his tool. It tells a story. If that artist became someone the guitar would be in a museum and cherished. Guitar companies would be making signature series. It’s hard to tell if restoration is just setting it back to a stock(beautiful) guitar or is history of that musician’s journey is being erased…. Ready for its new user…

My Fernandez Gravity X bass from 2006/7 has exactly the same finish and it looks beautiful in stage lighting.

Bella chitarra, molto versatile!! ❤

Sounds amazing

More like a resurrection than a rebuild.Keep them coming.

This looks like a Fernandes Dragonfly Elite from the 2000's. Amazing guitars. The sustainer is worth every penny.

Great job!

Best job!! 👏💪

Fantastic transformation! That's a keeper for sure!👍👍👍🎸

Another wonderful restoration... Keep up the good work! 😊👍🏻

who new under that paint and stickers was a great color and finish nice turn out i would be happy to own it

So relaxing to watch.

I almost see the appeal of the splattered paint job with the stickers and all that but i personally like a nice guitar myself. I can't blame you for cleaning this up.

Solvents are a great thing at times like this, for sure. You got all that paint and those stickers off in very short order, it appears, and once that shiny silver finish came out, it was a sight to behold. I could tell you were enjoying playing around with the sustainer feature too and it sounded great with the clean tone. Good work as always, sir! 確かに、溶剤はこのような時々素晴らしいことです。あなたはそのすべての絵の具とそれらのステッカーを非常に短い順序でオフにしました、そして、それが現れ、その光沢のある銀の仕上げが出てきたら、それは見るべき光景でした。 Sustainer機能も遊んで楽しんでいて、きれいなトーンで素晴らしい音がしたと言えます。いつものように良い仕事、先生！

Great wet dry wet setup you could get with that 5150 and that stereo chorus Roland. All the best.

what a beautiful result 👍

個人的には最初のデザインは結構好き。雑なようで、手が混んでるというかエネルギーが溢れているし、かっこいい。 もちろんクリーンナップバージョンは毎度ながらすごいけど

I really like Japanese vintage guitars. They have soul! Greetings from Russia.😊

Ora si può definire chitarra,sei un grande come al solito❤

I'm your fans from Malaysia. Great work bro

Again, amazing, beautiful. Your work is so satisfying! Absolutely Love it! 👌👌👌I always eagerly look forward to your uploads! Full speed ahead!

I liked the paint job the way it was

great transformation, such a beautiful guitar, and it sounds really good. i would have been nerves doing the pickups. dont let the fake hater's stop you from doing stuff like that. even if its staged, gives people inspiration to do stuff like this them selves, and not be afraid to do it them selves. keep up the great vids.

The active hambucking's sustain is awesome.

I would love to see you work on a fender Jazzmaster one day, my favourite guitar!

That was epic! You are truly a magician when it comes to bringing abused guitar s back to life. And it sounded fantastic. Keep up the great work

Who does this to a guitar? Are they crazy? Good job restoring it…..I love your videos!

But you did clean it up good. And you are also a really beautiful guitar player

@studio asyl We'd all love to see a video where you go to find these guitars. It's amazing how many painted and stickered over guitars one man can find!

Somehow I like it more before the clean up, much more vibe and character😂

オススメに出て来たので拝見しました。 フェルナンデス大好きの自分的には大興奮な動画でした❤❤❤ このギター発売当時なかなか高かったと思います。 個人の自由だとは思いますが、そんなギターをあの状態で…。 でもめっちゃキレイになってギターも喜んでますね😊

That was a very punk rock guitar in the beginning. I respect it, several bandmates have had similar. I like mine to stay looking new.

Much better beautiful

Podia pelo menos ter deixado os adesivos cara😢 é perfeito a restauração, mas os adesivos são lindos, principalmente dos Gorilas.

I just use Linseed oil on my fretboards,except my Rickenbacker of course 😅 Nice guitar you’ve got there. Well done.🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Am i the only that thinks this guitar look awesome with that green paint job

Great work, but I liked the way it looked before the restoration… it had character and looked pretty sharp

I forgot all about Fernandez, great basses.

こんな普通じゃない汚され方をしたギターを毎度どこから調達してくるのかめちゃくちゃ気になる

This is my favourite show on youtube. Keep up the good work, mate.

Seeing the original paint finish I can see why he painted it. A better idea would have been to give it a better finish similar to what he tried. So Jackson Pollack style splatter on a dip paint job. Or maybe laser etch a design on it before selling it on. Like the Millennium Falcon or something.

I have this same guitar in black, it was imported from Japan via Australia to me in Vancouver

I can’t understand: Why degrade beautiful things? If you take on a task, learn to do it well. Studio asyl - Like and Respect!

Like it more as it was before!

I read all these comments and no one ever say anything about the way he just skips making the frets look good . Polishing doesn’t make them even or gets rid of string grooves. Any good luthier flattens then crowns , then polishes.

Restorations are fun, but I like rebuilds with some new hardware, sanding, wood filler, new paint, wet sand and buff.

This is one of the artistic guitar restoration that I have ever seen. Good work.

This guitar screams 80s in both tone and aesthetics.

that paint job was dope, I would of left it and seal coated it, and just cleaned the fretboard, looked cool on the Floyd and the pickups

I appreciate your skill and expertise in the restoration. That said, I liked the way the original looked. Felt like a sacred, and loved object with a rich history and it hurt a little seeing all that stripped away to look like a product on a shelf.

thx for Nitro Mega Prayer. love it.

Except for the paint and the stickers, it is the guitar in the best condition you have ever made video 🤣

When you put the springs in like that the two outside ones don’t hardly work because the have been made longer so only the middle one is working. Things you should know if you want to make people think you know what you’re doing.

A Fernanadez with a sustainer....lucky find. Looks like the crap on the body and neck preserved it to some extent.

あそこまで雑な塗装がされていたのに…サスティナーがちゃんも使えるなんて!? ちょっと驚きです👍 あと、バッテリーケースの蓋がちゃんと残っていたのにも驚きです(笑)あのタイプは蓋のツメなどが割れやすくて蓋が残ってなかったりちゃんと閉まらない物が多いので👍

Wow, what an atrocity of a guitar. (Before, of course.) Good thing you were wearing gloves. 😂 Excellent work buddy. From 🤮 to 🤩. 🎸👍

I feel for him. I once had an Ibanez someone plastered with stickers. Let's just say Goo Gone was my friend. Turned out to be a pretty little guitar when all was said and done.

lets be honest, we all look forward to the demonstration at the end of these vids

Nice work!!! Please show us how to you calibrate the center Bolt and the high of the chords, greetings from Guatemala in celtral América

APGにバンやろ付属のステッカーとか懐かしすぎて泣けてくるわ

Uma das guitarras mais lindas feitas no canal se não a mais linda

まさか試奏でyarmulkeのone theAter in squareが聴けるとは…

Obviously the previous owner was a Static-X fan, considering they are a favorite band of mine? That was cool to see.

Hello Friend, thank you for this amazing video ! Hopefully, beneath the amount of stickers and painting sprays, the paint and the parts were very well preserved. This made in USA Fernandes is also a very good guitar with excellent equipments. Bravo Man, super nice job. Thanks again, see you soon...

Nice...

The first solvent in the big red can is Lacquer Thinner.

31:26 Holy amp, that’s the next project

Maaan, this Fernandes is gorgeous without all that crap.

I ask for the names of all the songs played at the end)))🙏🙏🙏 A colossal amount of work has been done in this video (as in all others) I love watching your work before going to bed. You are the best!

Fernandes used to import guitars to USA about 20 years ago, they were super high end. The dude from Rob Zombie had a blood filled one

Nice work ❤

goooooooooooood woek

great job. Unfortunately nothing can fix the fact that the EMG 81 is an EMG 81 lol.

Tengo 2 fernandes japón una 1987 ¡Modelo exclusivo de Fernandes Adrian Vandenberg .Y la otra de 7 cuerdas Aniversario de fernandes 1990 la verdad muy buenas guitarras japonesas
