      @@ChrisShortyAllen I was obviously being conversational. But if you want a couple real world examples, Jaco Pastorius' bass was completely shattered into more than 10 pieces and it was stuck back together. Gary Moore had to have Greeny rebuilt after it was smashed in the trunk of his car after getting rear-ended in traffic. Wasn't easy and I'm sure it wasn't cheap, but both of them got fixed after being very extremely broken.

    Salutations Austin!
    Very nice Les Paul’s, the 25/50 has a lot of movement in the woodgrain, I suspect it will sound great, I also like the Moonless Night Les Paul Custom, the extremely light sprinkling of glitter flakes looks very tasteful, I am sure it sounds great too.
    It’s too bad the ESP Explorer was damaged in shipping, but I think it could be repaired fairly easily by a competent technician, unfortunately I couldn’t access your website from the video link, but I will try finding your website through other means, to check out your current selections.
    Thanks for sharing!
    Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨🎸

    • @Trog
      @Trog  Місяць тому

      It can never be restored to original because the original holes were reamed larger by the new oversized screw. Many times you’ll be left with a larger impression from the larger strap button too. You’d have to fill, redrill and live with that if restored. I prefer examples that have no stories because someone will have to sell my collection for me some day and itll be a lot easier for them this way. Most buyers won’t care but between the two moonless I have, I’ll stick with my first one
