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.
You did an amazing job with that, though I think the wood was attractive enough to use a clear lacquer instead of a paint. It would have been really beautiful to be able to see the grain of the wood. Well done!
I prefer the original color , but, you did an excellent job with your project completion overall. Please continue to put up more of your work for those of us who are in the learning process. Also I like the way that you do not need to speak in your videos and simply show the before and after of your projects and the steps taken to achieve the quality that you display.
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.
@@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 would have NOT painted over the beautiful wood grain and left it natural wood with a satin gloss. However what you did is also beautiful. It took a lot of patience to do all that. Thank you for sharing.
zupełnie zgadzam się z twoja opinią wystarczyło pomalować bezbarwnym lakierem a nie malować jak płot to jest profanacja tak pięknego drewna trzeba mieć smak pozdrawiam
As it was necessary to paint over the repaired holes why do it in such a dreadful color!!!??? Gloss black with a nice clear coat…perhaps some pearl added to the clear coat…anything but baby poop green!!!
You know at first I hated that paint job but then it really grew on me. Its a classy color and being able to see the woodgrain is a nice touch. I bet its going to relic really pretty too.
That tailpiece is a "Bowen Handle" from the '80's, minus it's handle and spring. It fits on the original stop bar posts without any modifications to the guitar.
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.
Would have been cool too if it got sanded down to remove the flaking walnut finish and then coated with new lacquer. Giving it a true vintage look. However the refinish was amazing! Keep it up.
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 don’t care for the color and finish. I would have chosen a high gloss white. But, then it’s not my guitar. The restoration is first rate. The finished product is fantastic. Shows great skill and patience. Well done.
great job restoring this guitar. alot of patience and knowhow was needed. id have never painted it green though but iy looks good. natural or a transparent red would have been beautiful. great job though
I bought a Korina Ibanez Flying V in the 80’s and had it restored a few years ago. What a great sounding guitar. Wish I did it sooner. I love watching this stuff.
For some reason and speaking strictly as a guitar-maker and repairman for years I have seen countless butcherized SG's on my workbench with many of these being in worse shape than this one... For some reason Les Pauls, 335's, Flying V's, Explorers, Firebirds, etc... are rarely messed with but it's okay to mess up with SG's... Maybe it's because they're more affordable and less luxurious than Les Pauls so it's no big deal 😄😄 Anyway, I'm glad to see that nice SG restored and back in all of its glory... I was especially impressed with your work with the serial number... Great work as always 👍👍
Would have liked to see you check/lubricate the gears on the tuners as they had to be rusty/dirty inside. Repair or replace the potentiometers and wiring where needed also. Polishing the body after painting, whether or not you fill the wood grain would have been nice too, and would have added a lot of luster to the body. Overall good work though!
Great work, I do wonder though why some people spend so much on a Gibson when youve revealed its just a piece of wood that now looks brand new. The only thing to justify an expensive guitar is the amount of time spent on labor.
I normally don’t like SG’s but that is a beautiful project. Well done …that guitar looks incredible. Breathing new life into that instrument is good for the universe
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.
Thats alot of fine work to finish with spray can paint. The project really deserves catalyzed automotive paint or lacquer clear. Just a thought, I enjoyed the video.
What stories you are talking about ? Keep all "the stories" in your empty head ! There is only one, real story - a stinking, drunk redneck ( a wanna be musician ) from a stinking bar, with his dirty hands mishandled, mistreated, neglected the musical instrument. The end of "stories" ! Shameful, dirty bustard ! Not a real, respect deserved musician ! Period ! The restoration result is great ! Well done ! This instrument, now, is a pleasure to handle and play !
I love the fact that he's able to fix all these (bass)guitars, and bring them back in tip top condition. but still has these big holes in his mesa boogie cabinet. when is he going to fix that? I also love them videos buddy. great work.
I will admit I was not big on color choice, but could see it was painted before that tacky brown. As the pieces fell together color choice was awesome.
Good job on the restoration! My only positive critique is that I wish you would have put a better nut on it and also a complete overhaul of the wiring and potentiometers would have done wonders for the guitar...maybe thicker gauge strings as well...again, all just input my friend. Thanks for making the video again and for demonstrating techniques for guitar restoration!!!
Hello Friend, very nice finish on this old Gibson SG and as usual, amazing restoration ! Thank you very much for this delightful video ! See you soon...
I would have cleaned it up so it was playable and stayed in tune and left it as is. The original beat up look was really unique. I’m not into relic guitars but sg imo are the only guitars that look good like that. Maybe a tele or Strat as well. I would love to find a beat sg like that. I have a 61 and a special that are all glossy and shiny and new. Would love to add a beater to the collection. Where would one find one like that? eBay?
@1:46 I was so glad you put towel down so as not to mar the finish when popping off the volume and tone knobs, lol. Great work, it's looks fantastic. Thanks for posting it!
As usual, that was a totally new and different instrument once you got through with it, and it looks and sounds amazing. That new color is beautiful! Well done, sir.

From one craftsman to another.. Amazing work my brother.. Keep up the GREAT work.. Thank you for posting.. Peace, Love.. T Enjoyed your playing also... T
@@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.
@@ThatGuy-y2c 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.
The time effort, new tools and maybe a lack of know how, plus maybe never going to happy with the result going for the standard/custom finish. Stick with what you can do, and work your way up with cheaper guitars?
Was hard to see that beautiful red wood get painted over, but am glad a new life was given to this instrument.
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
for those who are curious, i checked the serial number and this guitar is from 95. Great video!
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.
You did an amazing job with that, though I think the wood was attractive enough to use a clear lacquer instead of a paint. It would have been really beautiful to be able to see the grain of the wood. Well done!
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

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!
I would have NOT painted over the beautiful wood grain and left it natural wood with a satin gloss. However what you did is also beautiful. It took a lot of patience to do all that. Thank you for sharing.

You are absolutely right I agree 100%
I was thinking the same thing.
They had to because all the holes they had to fill. It did not match the grain perfectly.
As it was necessary to paint over the repaired holes why do it in such a dreadful color!!!???
Gloss black with a nice clear coat…perhaps some pearl added to the clear coat…anything but baby poop green!!!
I think the hardware and cleanup job look amazing. I like the colour, too. Next time, go for a high gloss finish.
I can’t tell what is better, the guitar playing or the guitar itself
ぞんざいな扱いで傷んだギターを丁寧に修復されるところをいつも見せていただいております。素晴らしいですね。
まぁ楽器ですから。
楽しむものだし。
骨董品みたいに飾っとくのが目的じゃないし。
The fact that the nut wasn't replaced pains me way more than it should
Looks WAY better
Not a bad cleaning job. The choice of color and finish leaves something to be desired.
beautiful wood covered in spray paint.

ヴィンテージ好きの身からしたら最初の状態の方がモチベ上がる💪
So many people are gonna be mad you refinished this but I think you just made it last for another 50+ years!
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
Thats alot of fine work to finish with spray can paint. The project really deserves catalyzed automotive paint or lacquer clear. Just a thought, I enjoyed the video.
Thank you for your hard work. That guitar deserved to be brought back to as it should be.
Who lets their guitar get in such a terrible condition, I gigged for years and my guitars were still like new. Good job on the restoration.
The original one for me was the perfect guitar with a lot of stories to tell!
I agree. Awesome guitar as original.
💯👍🤝🤔@@jonasulfsfalt4451

Da gusto ver este Excelente trabajo , Saludos Desde Bogotá DC , COLOMBIA , DIOS LOS BENDIGA
1995 SG standard... Great job... But like everyone else says I prefer it's usual Cherry/Walnut color.
Love the original finish. Love the new color finish. What can I say, it’s a Gibson SG. Their phenomenal guitars! Great rebuild.
new becomes old, and old becomes new again. in an experts hands. well done.
i love the sanded wood finish..
To hear the guitar after you're finished is what I wait for. You've got a good thing going here. Cheers
Nice revamp they all have to be saved, I think the guy that owned this lived near a volcano
I love the fact that he's able to fix all these (bass)guitars, and bring them back in tip top condition. but still has these big holes in his mesa boogie cabinet. when is he going to fix that?
I also love them videos buddy. great work.

Am I the only one who thinks this looked awesome just like it was?
I agree, it wouldn't have been better any other way.
This is incredible, your channel deserves so much praise! 🎸
watching the test run at 2x play speed is a trip! great restoration
Me encantan estos vídeos donde la gente se esfuerza y le da nueva vida a los antiguos objetos 🎉🎉
I like how you left the grain open. Nice job
I will admit I was not big on color choice, but could see it was painted before that tacky brown. As the pieces fell together color choice was awesome.
Yeah, idk I think it was way cooler as an old relic. It looks like a color that would come on a contemporary Squire or Epiphone now.

interesting colour, I hope the landlord also enjoys the colour on the brick wall.
I like the way you positioned the sticks in a four way pattern, so it gives you a centre hole for the screw.
Clever comment
Btw those screws are not usable anymore
OMG that mineral green color is an absolute marvel ! ! ! Totally agree with your choice 👍
Nice thorough restauration! good job cleaning the metal bits
as always mate great work! Your work inspires me too to have top quality in my guitar set ups
Hello Friend, very nice finish on this old Gibson SG and as usual, amazing restoration ! Thank you very much for this delightful video ! See you soon...
Y’all are nuts. That green is sick
Great restoration work , and i,am happy that you saved that beautiful music instrument good job !!
Good on ya u did well with this project hard work always pays off
Awesome job saving this SG very beautiful work . Great playing too
I would have preferred the natural wood finish and look, but still, it looks amazing. Great job!
I thought it was an ABSOLUTE CRIME to cover it with paint when it could have had SUCH a beautiful natural wood finish
yup@@L8rCloud
With all that covered up holes? 🤨

That's the best looking SG I've ever seen.
this is great I feel like im learning a lot and this is just fun to watch in general, love the color choice very unique

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.
Nice to see how an SG is built.
That grain deserved a good finish, clearcoat and left as a natural.
His guitar, his choice.
What about all the hole filler?
Sounds really good, both clean and dirty. It looks great too.
I'm totally fascinated and impressed by how someone can have so much craftsmanship and technical understanding. big compliment !
You don't make sense. How can you evaluate craftsmanship and technical understanding if you don't have any. It's a paradox.

WOW! Awesome job. It looks great!
You might want to put a satin finish on the back of the neck or sand it smooth.
Gloss black and a black front pickup cover. But not bad, definitely a road player.
The Best part was hearing your playing, you have a very distinct guitar style, very progressive and heavy.
typical jap style.. clever, but no feeling... like a computer game...
Great work! Interesting tremolo. Never seen that before.
It looks like it was left outside. Nice restoration.
Nice work. The only thing I would have added was wood filler to get a smoother finish.
Amazing transformation! Love that guitar!
Dude I don't think I've ever heard anyone play a guitar like you 🤟🔥
Wow an SG that isn't a boring shade of red or black. Color me impressed.
Pelham blue?
@@atomicrocker Pelham blue is infinitely more interesting than red or black on these.
@@Viper505repiV1 Ha ha, I have both colors.

That guitar was beautiful with the peeling paint too.

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.

You made this old guitar look new while people are paying thousands of dollars for the opposite. Very satisfying result.

I would have kept the wood grain. I have a 72 which is all original and in much better condition
Mahogany definitely needs grain filler
