I refinished a guitar that had peeling paint to make it beautiful. 

Yup, made in Nashville 10 January 1995, production number 502.

Now I don't feel so bad for them doing this to it 🤔

Oh quite more recent than I thought, looking at the tailpiece.

...I thought that guitar would be much much older than as mentioned...

Thanks, I was thinking it was older than that. I know Gibson did some funky stuff with their serial numbers in the 1960s and 70s making some of their guitars difficult to date.

Quando ele deixou somente na madeira,ficou linda...quando passou o prime ,ficou muito melhor....a pintura ficou boa demais,mas prefiro madeira

Yeah the colour is shit

You fucked up the SG with the paintjob!

definitely woulld have done a wood stain.

I was so excited to see that clear coat go on the natural wood and then he brought out the spray paint can… so disappointing

I thought the same but those filler plugs might have been a problem

I have used bamboo skewers for the same task. It ruins the grain pattern.

Original as in what the guitar originally came as, or from the video? I say this because it's not the original finish and honestly, it looks like crap.

Agreed. I would have like to see it get grain fill and a gloss clear coat but not bad.

I’d like to see u do better@@Masterfighterx

@@ou8126he’s talking about the doodoo brown that it started with. It was a cherry finish, but someone painted it over with what looked like oil house paint. You could see the brush strokes and all. Calm your tits

I was hoping for a clear coat or tru/tung oil finish, but I'm a sucker for wood grain. As it was it came out really well!

This is the info I was looking for in the comments. Nice looking bridge, I haven't seen one before, or noticed anyway, and I'm pretty long in the tooth lol. I learned something today, thanks.

I wish they had at least done this with the beautiful back of the guitar, which looked beautiful and was fairly pristine. Yet they could have still had the color up front, if they wanted.

I agree. Awesome guitar as original.

typical jap style.. clever, but no feeling... like a computer game...

SG 's don't look as good as a strat when heavily worn , but I prefer a new looking SG anyday !

Why? What is attractive about a guitar that looks like trash? Makes no sense to me.

@@okbouncer24 A worn guitar is often a guitar that’s been played a lot. Ask Willie Nelson and his guitar, Trigger.

@@geraldhills41 I would have just lightly sanded it, especially where the paint was peeling, and then put a matte sealer on it. The electronics would all be replaced, of course, but I like the road-worn look when it’s real.

@@benkenon I get that. However, he is the one who wore it out. It's his story that guitar tells. Nobody else's. Makes no sense for anybody else to play it because of that. I don't understand custom shop guitars as well. Why take a perfectly new guitar and beat it up and make it look old just because you want it to look like Willie Nelson's guitar? Why not buy a new one and create your own story. Just because a guitar has been beaten up and not taken care of does not mean you should leave it that way. Restore it and give it a new life and let someone create a new story on top of the story that already exist? That's just me. I would never want to play an ugly instrument.

Pelham blue is the color. Great turnaround.

​@@mitchmurrell753Yeah but it's like the color of aged/oxidized Pelham blue...great turnaround for sure.

Not new at all. Same guitar just restored.

His guitar, his choice.

I wouldn't have been able to paint that mahogany. I would have left it natural or cherry and put on a bigsby to cover a bunch of the holes. Nice work though.

Eh, it was made in 1995 going by the serial number. Not particularly valuable, so a good guitar to refinish.

​@@jessebusenそのとおりだね。カッコいいギターになって羨ましい

Made in 1995??!! What, did they store it in a shed with no case the entire time??? 😂

I agree. That grain is beautiful; cherry or maybe a thin color. @@mrbuttons1243

You don't make sense. How can you evaluate craftsmanship and technical understanding if you don't have any. It's a paradox.

Clever comment Btw those screws are not usable anymore

How did one afford such a guitar back then?

@@s.i.s.t.m When I was in eighth grade, I rented a Gibson LGO Acoustic for $17 a month from a local music store that I took lessons from. That money applied towards my SG. That was $170 for the 10 months. I got the Gibson and a 15 W Ampeg jet for $360. I worked off the 190 balance and our family’s Italian restaurant for the summer of 66.

@@jammergreg what a cool story, thanks for sharing!

Guitar repair skill: 100 Cab repair skill: 0 🤷‍♂

I happen to have that tailpiece on a 79 SG. It's called a Bowen Handle. and yeah,,that one is missing handle and mine has a big spring that I don't see here.

Does it also allow you to raise the action for slide playing?

@@allenbetz1175 i wouldn't think so. If you want a quick and easy tool to setup your guitar for slide, check out the Grover GP1103 "Perfect" guitar extension nut. Goes over existing nut and raises action across the board. Quick and easy to remove and restore your guitar to normal string height
