I cannot believe, when I see how musicians treasure their instruments. In fact: a shame. Thank you, you have rescued this fine guitar. Greco built fine instruments. Good job!
Some of the Greco guitars were really good... and the Burny Les Paul copies were awesome. Too many Americans sleep in how incredible most Japanese craftsmanship and woodworking actually is. Masterful work from the ground up.
Hello Friend, nice restoration, I really had a good time enjoying the way you work. This Greco Les Paul is a very good guitar, you just made her more appealing ! See you next video...
Very classic results after another great rescue and restoration. It has reclaimed it's dignity once again after much abuse. Amazing what a solid beautiful guitar was hiding under all the dirt and paint! Add some double cream Dimarzio Super distortion or zebra coil humbuckers for even more style( but keeping original pickups is great too, economical, and respectable)
At first I came for restoration, but now I'm more interested in how many songs I can recognize in demo section, lol. Great music taste. Thanks for the video!
Damn that guitar's been through a lot. Interesting choice to fill in top rather than sanding it off the old top colour to re-do it. Amazing details into getting the hardware restored rather than swapping them too
I groaned a little when I saw the pickup selector switch someone unfamiliar with the concept of masking off things you don't want painted to protect them had done bad things to when painting his guitar red. It's unbelievable, what some people do with guitars and many other "nice things" that's textbook Dunning Kruger effect in action. 🤦♂🤷♂
am i the only one who thinks the bald patch and lighting-ish cracks before the paint job was cool? anyways - top notch video, always a pleasure seeing a guitar restored and ready for more music
Your videos never fail to impress me with the amount of time and dedication you put into your restorations! Good work as always, it was fascinating to see such a lovely guitar come out from underneath that exterior. It's always interesting to see the end of each of your videos because what you end up with is always so much different than what you began with. あなたのビデオは、あなたがあなたの修復に入れた時間と献身で私を感動させることに決して失敗しません！いつものように、そのような素敵なギターがその外側から出てくるのを見るのは魅力的でした。あなたが終わらせるのは、あなたが始めたものと常に大きく異なるので、あなたの各ビデオの終わりを見るのは常に興味深いです。
You truly come up with some interestingly styled guitars. Looks like the market you fish in is robust in the quality used instrument departments. A trick too remove odd skinned/aluminum finishes like that is use a hair dryer too heat it up and soften the glue. Great Work as Always.
You did an awesome job 👍. That Greco is a fantastic Les Paul copy! I have a Aria Les Paul custom (matsumoku) from 1979.... And it's an incredible guitar.
Everything they MADE seemed to have a magic in it, and a Quality and pride of construction and MATERIALS we seldom SEE these days!! I had one or two.....and trying to find a replacement for the one that I let GO! (Not that many LEFTIES out there though!)
@@allenmcdaniel1470 Keep checking on Reverb and other online sources. Ironically, I'm left handed, but my teacher was very persuasive making sure I played right handed...lol. One Matsumoku made guitar I'm looking for one day is the Electra Outlaw.
I acquired an old Les Paul copy similar to this some years ago that’d been painted over with cans of spray paint. I was going to try and do restoration, but quickly gave up as I discovered the body was plywood underneath all that paint. The short story is, it would cost way more in man hours than the instrument was worth, so scrapped it. I DO love watching others do these restorations though.
Same here! Like making a purse from a sow's ear, as they say. Worst wood ever, sound and construction-wise! I got burned on one once too! Tossed it! Firewood.
I am a long time subscriber and have watched every single video you uploaded. Your restorations are most admirable because of your dedication to smallest details and the patience you practice. That's why I was surprised that you have missed the rear side of the head stock (it's upper part) and that you made some scratches on the polished front of the body while screwing in the screws that hold the saddle. Which makes you human, I guess! Another great job, though.
Жирный лайк! Эту гитару реставрировал классно! Завораживает! И звук у инструмента классный. Я хоть и не гитарист, но хотел бы иметь такую вещь! / A big one like! That guitar restoration was awesome! It's mesmerizing! And the sound of the instrument is cool. I am not a guitar player, but I would like to have such a thing!
Interesting! I wasn’t certain as to what I thought of the look of the guitar before the clean up job. After I can say it definitely grew on me. Your work is pretty amazing!
The metallica reload sticker explains everything.
ESPが買えないメタリカファンの怨念をも受け取ったグレコ。流石です。
That turned out really well. Great finish on the paint. The shielded wires from the original manufacturer was a nice touch on their behalf.
黒→赤→アルミテープなんだ😂😂😂

If it made the kid who owned it happy, then there’s nothing to complain about.

Resurrected a classic lawsuit guitar. Dude, your best job yet.
You have tremendous patience, and I appreciate you making these instruments beautiful again!

素晴らしいグレコの復活を見せて頂き感服致しました❣️救済されたギターの命もまた素晴らしく、グレコの歴史を味わうことができました❣️ありがとうございます🌏
Fantastic guitar Les Paul from Greco, made in Japan.
Sunny Day Real Estate! nice!
Hello Friend, nice restoration, I really had a good time enjoying the way you work. This Greco Les Paul is a very good guitar, you just made her more appealing ! See you next video...
this guitar was grounded so hard it was at home for 40 years
the original aluminum guitar is what those relic fanatic love
Sunny Day Real Estate! I just got to see them a few weeks ago! Awesome work on the guitar.
おめでとうございます、このギターは救われました!!!
I think the original owner of this was a really big Megadeth fan.
You set the bar high. What you did in this video was amazing.
You really saved that guitar and transformed it. Fantastic work!
What a mind blowing amount of work and effort you put in to bring this guitar back to life ! , well done my friend ! ,God bless !😊

Aluminum foil and red paint. I can't imagine how long it took you to get all that off!
I liked the idea of a silver metallic guitar but you did a great job with the restoration.
毎回観てるけど、修復技術が素晴らしい❗
Мастерство, особенно когда трут металлические предметы о железную щётку и они начинают блестеть 😅
Simply fantastic, great great job once again. I love vintage Greco Les Pauls!
At first I came for restoration, but now I'm more interested in how many songs I can recognize in demo section, lol. Great music taste. Thanks for the video!
another japanese vintage treasure..the white paint rest was the last of the original vintage white finish
So relaxing...puts me to sleep in minutes.
I did like the restoration, but I was also impressed by the demo.
試奏フレーズの癖が凄いんじゃぁぉ😂🎉
Marvellous. The kinda patience that a real craftsmanship will show through in the final!
awesome job! sometimes it’s unbelievable how people treat their guitars…
Another refugee on the Boulevard of Sad Guitars but you made it sing again.
Very cool. Classic look.
Respect good work.
This was a resurrection of an old beauty.
Damn that guitar's been through a lot. Interesting choice to fill in top rather than sanding it off the old top colour to re-do it. Amazing details into getting the hardware restored rather than swapping them too
悲しい状態の富士弦グレコ レスポールを救ってくれた感半端ない😂
ベース良いから修復しても風格が有ります。
I've got an all original 70's tobacco burst LP. GREAT restore!!! I like your attention to keeping original parts.... Restore, not refinish!
That aluminum tape look looked amazing
The amount of work you put into restoring the electronics is impressive! I would have just replaced the whole lot.

Very buzzy and microphonic, I think new pickups were the way to go
@@danielktdoranie You can always replace the pickups to get better tone.
Just a guess, but some guitar collectors prefer to have original equipment onboard as much as possible, or at least a period piece.
Import electronics are junk. Always good to replace them. Pointless to “restore” them.
バインディングのマスキングが綺麗！
渋いレスポールに甦りましたね！

God damn that was relaxing! Your work is wonderful to watch. The attention to detail is commendable. Thanks for another guitar life saved.

So talented! I was waiting for a new video from you and this one didn’t disappoint! Well done
You really get some nice guitars to clean up.
that guitar was a hot mess, you restored it beautifully, i think it would great with cream pickup rings
sunny day real estate!!

Stamps on a guitar!!!! A novel decoration!
Great job and nice playing and overall production - subscribed!

your playing is even more impressive than your restoration work! thank you
great video!
Отличный инструмент!
Were those "Alps" pots! A Japanese Co. That Made Fairly good electronic things Pioneer stereos had them.
This guy must be a Zen Warrior with the patience of Job. My hat goes off to you my dear Japanese Brother. You obviously love your craft.DD
Man, what a difference. That looks so good now. Very nice job.
Beautiful playing . Good job on the resto .
those emo riffs.. live long sunny day real state mate
I have to say. The mod was pretty neat, would look cool up on stage.
Looks great. I have a similar guitar that was made in Japan
I like the aluminum tape look!
You sir ,are an Artist. Amazing work.
Kind of like the aluminum tape. Clean up the electrics, new strings and play it.
(But it sure looks good now.)
Great job.
Very nice overhaul -
Всегда на душе радостно, когда инструмент попадает в хорошие руки. И вот вторая жизнь у японца, браво!!!

Great Work! She`s a beauty now!
いい音してる。。。
Era minha, não tinha condições de fazer esse reparo... Parabéns
Big job! Nice job!
If you paint it black, you have to have zebra humbuckers and amber knobs and cream scratch plate
Awesome work!
このメタリカのステッカーはReloadの日本盤のオマケだったか店頭で購入者に配布していた物だったか細かいところは覚えがないけど現物持ってるｗ
The guitar is now a work of art! One of the best restoration videos I've ever seen!
Wow, just wow! Inspiring work. Thank you.
At 10:59. Now For the Pink, Glitter. And, "My little pony." Stickers 🐴 🐎 lol! J. K.
My luthier painted my RG Black and I know it's not easy. Great finish! With the scratch plate. Over the top. Sugoi 🙏✌️🤘🇦🇺
Absolutely fantastic job 👍
Nice result! You have a lot more patience than me!
I kinda like melted color of guitar at start of washing the red paint at 7:07
Nice! My. Son has a 1979 Greco EG700 Standard and then we share a late 80's Greg SG Standard

What a huge difference! Great work.
Great work ❤
These videos are going to eventually lead to me going through JP yahoo auctions for a Greco
Great work!
Cool . The guitar Gibson should have made , the Les Paul Silvertop .
Interesting! I wasn’t certain as to what I thought of the look of the guitar before the clean up job. After I can say it definitely grew on me.
Your work is pretty amazing!
You did an excellent job...I did like the silver tape....but the outcome of the guitar was awesome!!
修復も演奏もめちゃ上手いの最高です（≧∇≦）
Amazing! Good job 👍👍👍
