I fixed and cleaned a guitar with a shaved fretboard. 

You make this look so easy! I recently bought a used Squier in an attempt to restore its finish to stock, and upgrade it. It seemed a lot easier to watching you do it. lol. But it’s a great learning experience. I would have never attempted it if I hadn’t been inspired by your channel!

ERA MAS PROFESIONAL Y ETICO. DESPENDER EL DIAPASON DE PALO ROSA Y COLOCAR UNO NUEVO Y ENTRASTARLO DE NUEVO. ASI QUEDAN TODOS NIVELADOS Y NO SE VE ESE PEGOSTE DE RESINA EPOXICA. ARIA USO MADERA NO RESINA EPOXY.

No entiendo como alguien puede maltratar asi un instrumento!!! Por suerte está usted que los devuelve a la vida!!! Admirable trabajo!!!

Am I the only one who thinks gluing a piece of resewood was a better solution?

Incredible job!!! The spirits of Matsumoku are with you!!!❤ Some of the finest guitars ever made.... I'm so fortunate to own three of them. Not the model that you just restored, but other models. I remember seeing that same model in an Aria Pro II catalog from 1979.❤

I can't believe someone painted over that awesome finish. The striping going through the whole guitar is amazing.

レジンで指板作っちゃうのか！！ スゴすぎる…

一目見ただけでネック材の密度の濃さがわかる。メーカーさんが良い木を選んでいたのに、勿体無いことしますねぇ

Why cover that gorgeous grain with that stain? It is an incredible sight to behold! Amazing job restoring this beautiful instrument! Subarashi!

ARIA PROⅡのこのシリーズのフォルムすごい好きです

Epoxy filled board part will be unusable you should've used a rose wood slab with a similar grain . Grain part is not that important but the slab part is .

why do you insist on making these amazing instruments into these bland just-out-of-plant looks. why. WHY. WHY the f&**. i mean it's obvious why you dont compare them side to side, but still. have a nice day

That red paint turned this beautiful guitar into a crime scene. Thanks for bringing this beauty back to life.

09:27 wat are you doing, step bro?

It's a testament to the quality of the finish that the Matsumoko factory put on their guitars that the red paint came off as easily as it did and that the finish underneath was in such good shape. I bet a kid bought the guitar used, thought it looked like an "old man's guitar" and tried to make it look what he thought was cooler. I got one of these as a 16th birthday present in a darker wood and still have and play it. Beautiful guitars and fantastic restoration (as usual)!

You did a great job! I have exactly the same guitar model in Poland. A good instrument from the Matsumoku workshop from the 1980s.

The fretboard repair was daring! Very well done!

Cool job! Always fun to watch your videos, saving all em sadly beaten guitars. Though this time it was somewhat disappointing, watching you do that poor epoxy muck-up fix of the fretboard. Since it was so bad it would have been better to change the whole fretboard. … Where do you find all em mistreated, bullied guitars?

Wow, you really find creative ways to save these guitars! Great work!

Now THAT is a gorgeous instrument. Very clever fix on the neck. Nice work.

Overall you always do good work. I guess I just don't get why you didn't just splice a new block of Indian rosewood into that gap. Indian rosewood isn't that hard to obtain.

The wood underneath that paint and grunge was AMAZING. WHY would anyone cover that up? BTW It seems that the ground wire under the bridge wasn't reattached to it when reinstalled.

As for your playing.. WTF was that, straight fire.. 🔥🔥🔥

Lol. Is this video for real? I cannot believe you didn't replace the fret board

Last thing I expected to hear you play at the end was Botch!

Worst.Scallop.Job.Ever. Followed by a great save by yourself! 👍

Absolutely amazingly beautiful job you've done well done thank you

I can't believe what someone did to this beautiful guitar.... another excellent restoration. How much time did it take to clean it and repair it?

That resin repair of the fretboard was wild but it makes sense if you dont have a large workshop and lots of wood.

Unwound ❤

Sometimes you choose a guitar and I'm thinking "why even bother??", but this turned out to be a real beauty! I also thought that you were going to glue in a replacement rosewood block into the fretboard. The resin idea caught me by surprise. I personally would have just finished scalloping the fretboard from the 12th on up. Not because I would want a scalloped fretboard, but because it would be the easy way!

I wish I had something that beautiful in my collection. Why would they have messed with such a beautiful instrument?! Glad you were able to bring it back to its original glory!

フレットの削り粉をレジンに混ぜるのかな？と思ってたけど インレイの入る部分があってやめたのかな？ いつもながらこ汚くされたギターが元の美しさを復活してもらって、ブツも喜んでると思う ちなみにTS600、かつて巡り巡って自分のところに来たけど…オクで流したら想定外の値で売れました😅

この美しいスルーネックのギターを単色で塗るなんて・・・ 指板はイングヴェイ・マルムスティーンにでも憧れたのかな？

Heyyy. Love your videos. Wanted to ask what should I use to remove dried wood glue from my guitar besides acetone, because i don’t want to risk damaging it.

que carnicero el que intentó escalopear los trastes 13 y 14, una locura. Habría que ver como se siente la resina en alguien que use mucho esos trastes. Años sin ver una Aria Pro II, acá en Argentina llegaron hasta 1990, después no las vi más.

la verdad qué linda modificación.. lo malo que muy pésimo trabajo funcional.

Did a great job overall with a monumental blunder of leveling the scrapped fretboard flat ... The fretboard was perfectly ok with the seat for the frets still intact. It would have been much better if the seat for the frets were not touched and leveled flat to be compensated with epoxy. Other than that good job...

Great work! Who’d have guessed what lay beneath all that horrible paint.

You have excellent skills. The most used tools/chemicals in your work is elbow grease. Also WHY speed up the playing demo at the end by 25%? At proper speed (0.75) your playing sounds better.

Saving the world - one guitar at a time. Always a pleasure to watch. Helpful when I need to get inspired to get back to work on my builds. I can't believe somebody did that to a 5 piece neck-through. Good thing they gave up on butchering that scallop mod. I'm guessing they were trying to scallop it above the 12th.

If I ever see a new video from you, I know it’s gonna be a good day. Awesome job!

what no copper shielding the pickup cavities and electronics cavity? Enjoy the hum noise, that is why when you flick the toggle switches and you can hear it in the amp. To fix that shield the cavities and scratch plates

ハードテイルの貴重なギターが............

Wow surprising how great it looked under that horrible paint job, great job in the frets, what was someone trying to achieve in destroying those 2 frets, great job 👌👍

what year is that guitar? I mean... those electronics are a nightmare. They look like passive p-ups with some kind of circuitry for distortion and a lot of phase-phuckery, right? Even more nightmare than Brian May's settings :) Do they have some kind of splitting? And, is all that circuitry original?

aria pro的吉他傷了直接丟了啦!不過是台灣韓國大陸製的初階琴!整理的成本都超過那琴的價值!不過話說回來給我用custom名貴琴我還不屑耶!我用雜牌琴SRV就幾乎已不是我對手了!何須用到名牌琴?

I wonder if you know a band called Voivod

You resurrected that guitar

I can only think that I made this guitar to do this thing beforehand......

Это что должно было произойти, чтоб такая беда с грифом случилась? Мастер, конечно, как говорится "от бога". А почему бы полностью накладку на грифе не поменять - это на других гитарах этот мастер делал. Впрочем - так тоже хорошо получилось.ЗЫ. И кому в голову пришло такой красивый инструмент "залить" красной краской?

you should have replaced the fretboard as you can spot the resin a mile away and it dosen't look right. other than that excellent job on restoring it.

Personally I would have replaced the entire fretboard instead of going over the mutilated part with epoxy resin as it would eventually break at the fret over time and since guitars get fret maintenance depending on the general use of the instrument, it would have been an ongoing issue.

Hmm, was the body painted with with water colors? In perfect condition under the paint that came off without any effort, I think some of these vids are absolutely fake….

So some previous owner/moron scoops two frets so he could bend notes ala Yngwie Malmsteen? People who treat guitars and basses as if they are kindling wood need psychological therapy.

надо было использовать эпоксидку вместо уф-клея

Really Good well made guitars Much better than Fender.. Just never been drawn to them.. 🤔

試奏が途中、King Crimson みたいで驚いた❣　Resin（樹脂）を使った補修は透明なので色が同じで良いですね。他で指板の削った後の粉を詰める方法かと思っていました。

no era mejor poner un nuevo pedazo de madera para esa parte del diapasón? digo, hay guitarras baratas que todo el diapasón son piezas de madera individuales

Don’t be so ridiculous you painted it on in the first place. Where are you finding these horrendously misused damaged guitars but the paint comes off in one wipe?

I have quite a few Aria Pro ll basses and guitars, mostly from very late 70' to early 90's. 85 Night Warrior is probably my favorite. Both of the zz's 84 bass and guitar. A couple of the RS basses, 2 singles pups and one Single Humbucker. 88 RS guitar 2 singles and a coil spliting humbucker in bridge probably a beginner model, not like the Night Warrior. I also have other Japanese made guitars and basses.80 Westbury Standard neck through that came with Dimarzio supper distortions and a 79 Westbury Track II bass. Westones and a few no name Japanese copys from the late 70's. I have both Gibson, Fender and a few Guilds both bass and guitars but in the last 3 years all i have been buying are 70's and 80's Japanese instruments. I dont know why Fender and Gibson did not do many coil splits and most of these Japanese instruments even there cheaper models did. Got you work cut out for you but i bet it will be one hell of a guitar whan done.

What takes you the longest ? Cleaning the guitar... or creating the fake "used" guitar ?

Надо было туда похожую по фактуре деревягу вклеивать, а так все в пузырях

In 30 years, I don't think I EVER stuck a sticker on a guitar...

Normally altering a guitar's appearance doesn't bother me, but the dude just rattle canned over the clear coat and called it a day. The less said about the "scalloped fretboard" the better.

Resin? Are you kidding me? Why not combine rosewood shavings with it?

That one there (the 600) really turned out extra nice, the fretboard repair, and the extreme electronics, great!, Good job like usually!! A keeper?

Испортил шарм и историю гитары

Is that a Botch riff at the end? Very nice. Great band. You did an excellent job restoring the guitar.

if only you had fixed the fretboard properly, this would have been great. you should have put wood in there.

Idk about this one. If you claim to fix them why did you cut and not install a new fretboard with the same style inlays? That guitar is till gonna need work 😂

Has anyone else seen the same pattern in every guitar he fixes?? , I would bet big money he is doing this too the guitar's just so he has. content for his channel . Just a big hoax .

Great work! I always enjoy your videos. A question; what exactly do you use to remove old spray paint without destroying the original finish?

Aria pro was popular in the 70's & 80's

Un diapason NUNCA se repara con resina...🤭

It should say, " I fixed and cleaned a butchered guitar".......

The previous owner was probably a long haired hippie with sweaty palms.

I wonder, in hind sight would you now replace the whole fretboard? I know $ vs time

夏休みに自前スキャロップ加工したあの日の思い出が蘇る

Amazing restoration, and then slamming some Botch on there? Perfect!

Para los que no sabemos coreano podrías poner subtítulos en inglés para los productos que no tienen ninguna descripción más que letras y símbolos coreanos o japoneses. Please can you put subtitles at products that you use for clean or remove the paint material, because I don’t read Korean or Japanese symbols

Brilliant idea with fixing the frets! Wonderful work. Ichiban !

good job... but you should used the powdered wood and super glue method from the fret board....

Everything but the epoxy was great. The intonation was definitely affected by that fix. Otherwise, great job cleaning it up.

Whoever did this to that guitar should be banned from owning a musical instrument ever again.

I would have replaced the entire feet board or found a piece of rosewood and cut it down to fit the space between but I get it. I hope the epoxy resin doesn't effect the time quality.

That’s an different choice for the fretboard repair. Why not replace the board or knock in a new cut of wood?

Some personal touches on guitars is nice , and some... why ?

looks a little inspired by BC Rich in the electronics layout? :D

Не поверю что кто то закрашивал гитару с такой красивой отделкой

Can someone explain what could be the purpose of this holes on the neck ?..

Resin ??????? Oooooh noooo .................. It had to be a wood repair !!

8:09 ghetto scalloping 💀💀💀

You should use rosewood saw dust with car glue instead of acrylic...

This guitar looks like a cross between a strat and a SG , and what kind of idiot would do that to a fretboard .

Do we know the story behind this guitar? It must have been played loads! Maybe some concerts? That would be really interesting

What a unique guitar! It kind of looks like a mix between an SG and a fender offset with the control setup of a Les Paul Recording, Very cool 😎

I like your playing demos, great riffs Epoxy filling that region is an intresting choise, for sure. From far away it is not really visible, and it keeps the appearance of the original grain pattern. But I would still prefer to replace that whole fingerboad piece with real wood. Excellent work on restoring it regardless 👍

Play something from The Haresté and Hiretsukan!
