Fakey-fake for sure... those shiny plastic wire coats and that poly finished body shined right up when he wiped the "years of dirt, dust, and debris" from its all-too-obvious staging of salt-water faux-aged & rusted hardware.
If the Metal parts were that deteriorated the WOOD would be Totally Shagged as well . Certainly a FAKE .
I really enjoyed staring at your greasy head for 6 minutes :)
This video was worse than the guitar
This channel does this for everything. I watch them and call him out every time. I watch him restore car models. I think a lot of it is painted on. He really junks his car models and it is fun to watch. But ya it is fake but some of his stuff is fun to watch
Coming from a guitarist of 24 years I can definitely tell you it’s a modern strat and definitely a road worn series maybe even a vintera worn series.. but a real vintage strat from the 50’s through the 60’s will first have the serial number stamped into the neck plate not on the headstock.. headstock serial numbers didn’t arrive until the 70’s strats and they were waterslide decal on the front face of the headstock.. second modern wiring it’s not push back cloth wire.. and thirdly the pickup bobbins aren’t gray like a real 50’s strat of that era would have been.. just too many other things to spot it’s a modern road worn
Having been around and played guitar from the mid 90's to present day, i could tell this video was fishy from the moment i first saw it. That's definitely a modern day MIM Strat as one can tell by the serial number on the back of the head stock.
Being a nearly 300 year old vampire, and playing guitar since 1823, I can tell you this is fake. Probably. Ive only played in the dark, so ive never really seen one in the light.
@@bce3210 🤣🤣🤣
And the selector switch was a newer 5 way one!
@@bce3210
_…Nearly 300 year-old Vampire_
…What?!? Vampires were from the 1400s, it’s 2022…
He was also holding a 13mm wrench to take apart the pickguard. Not exactly vintage spec. Thanks for calling this one out!
13mm is very close to 1/2". In fact a bit bigger.
As an artist who frequently uses weathering techniques, I can say with absolute certainty the " rust" is a thick oil paint wash. You can really tell on the tops of the saddles from how the "rust" has a hard thick edge, the trem block where its rather thick "rust" for the loacation , as well as the brush marks are quite prominent. Same thing with the pickup covers and guard. You can see where the brush used for it had some stray strands and were lightly touching outside of the area the paint was applied.
5:10 that ACCIDENTAL piece of aluminum foil, right where a CNC machine guidehole and a "ROAD WRN" stamp are. What a coincidence.
ya the circle that let's you know it's MIM. I figured that was why that was there too :)
Looks suspiciously like a wrapper for a stick of Wrigleys.
Amazing how none of the rust was on the wood when he took off the neck plate.
Screws only rust on the surface, the grooves are protected by being in the wood!
Biggest give away that he just soaked them in salt water. All of my piece of shit second hand ancient guitars came with black screws on the top and were immaculately clean where it sits in the body
@@TheLowest the toggle switch is clean also, now I've had plenty of older strats & all of them had signs of aged metal right under the toggle tip & his was clean
In Thailand near beach, so much experience with rusting screws. Bought a box of stainless steel phillips oval head 4 X 1/2 on visit to states & replaced all of them. That problem solved at least
Screws also corrode even by being in the wood because of acid(?) in the wood. but that takes years. That is one of the reasons a lot of screw heads get stripped off.
This is the only reaction video on all of UA-cam that I have thoroughly enjoyed and agreed with.
What I found most interesting is that even if weather and location could rust the neck plate that badly, How would it be equally as bad on both sides? Also with the finish underneath the neckplate being pristine?
Funny, that!
I saw this the other day and instantly thought it looked fake. Glad I’m not the only one
I thought it was fishy from the opening shot how he “recorded” him “finding it”
🎸👍
Other signs-
-When the pickguard is removed, there is random shielding foil on the body right where the "road worn" stamp is.
-The sticker in the control cavity was cut out of the finish to hide the numbers, you can see the light spot where it was.
-"rust" has brush marks in it, no pitting.
-When the neckplate was removed, the finish under it was perfect.
-Frets are not made of copper, they do not turn green.
Love how the back of the neck had no dirt or dust on it. Also how the screws came right out easily😆
Sadly there are many faked videos on youtube, just to get views and make money.
I have to say this is my favorite UA-cam channel guitar wise I hope more people discover Landon cause he makes really good videos
hey thanks!
Also, the guitar is completely covered in dirt and grim but nothing else in the shed has that same type on it. They’re just the normal dust and dirt you find in a shed.
He likely soaked the rusted parts in salt water and let them dry. I don’t imagine the wood side of the neck plate being that chowdered by rust and the paint is still clean.
Thats what i thought.
Yup. Those neck plates are too tight to get that much moisture in the first place and then not stain the wood??
None of the screws on that incredibly rusty, derelict guitar were frozen either. Fake as a faked fake faker could fake it.
Relic'd hardware is easy; put it in a tote with an open container of vinegar and the vapor from it will begin to give the hardware an aged look. Vapor will also get inside of tuners so you need to think about protecting them or age them differently. This works better with nickle than it does chrome, for the latter you can use stronger acids to speed things up and get more dramatic results. Monitor accordingly.
Looks a little too good for that. The green/blue on the machine heads looks like they used patina oil
1:55 Oh look at the dirt that has piled up on the case for years... Why don't we use a dry cloth to clean it up? PERFECT!!
Nice catch my friend! I have my own version of a barn find in 1970 I traded a broken Les Paul copy from Univox at a pawn shop for an old Strat A family member who’s guitar tech asked me if he could take a look at it and I always thought it was a 57 Stratocaster but he found out it was from 1954…..Neck by Tadeo Gomez and body Gloria Fuentes my son when he inherits it will be quite happy! Keep up the good work! 😉
UA-cam fed it to me 😛
In about 1980 I was in a band in Arcata California. Ran into it another guitar player in a band called rolling Bob. He had a 1954 Strat that he claimed that he found in a barn when he was cleaning it with a pitchfork. I thought this was total BS until I took a look at it. It had three holes in the front where he had actually hit it with the pitchfork. He told me all the strings were almost rusted through when he found it. I saw it with my own eyes. This guy was actually a phenomenal guitar player can't remember his name. I mean what are the odds of that happening. True story.
Some kid was serenading the farmer's daughter when he had to make a quick exit from the barn on account of Old Macdonald's rock salt loaded shotgun paying him a visit.
@@disprogreavette8545 yep you might be right. No telling how that old Strat wound up there. Wish I had found it. I would never believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Have a good day thanks for replying
First giveaway to me is the spacing of the screws on the bridge.
OMG! I'm a guitar restorer and there is a Start that needs to be restored. What a f*cking coincidence! Specially when I'm walking with my GoPro and I'm looking at abandoned something...
For the rusty finish probably they used acid or a kind of galvanic corrosion treatment.
Grew up on a farm, live on a farm, half my family are farmers. We don't toss old Strats (or new) in condemned coops,shacks,drive sheds,quanset huts or barns.The truth is we stash them in the woodpile beside the house as no one ever thinks to look there. Cheers.
You spray white vinegar or peroxide on the metal and it will rust pretty quick. You film it in reverse. You spray the guitar and throw dirt on it and then film it last . It's like those guys building intricate swimming pools in the jungle.
I saw this same video in my feed and knew it was fake just by the way the dirt looked on the guitar in the thumbnail. I can't say exactly what it was that made me think that, it just looked very unnatural to me, the way the dirt was stuck on. And it looked like there was gravel on it, like why would there be gravel? I'm mean, dirt and dust, ok, but gravel?
👍🎸
Even if it’s fake it’s still pleasing to watch
tmi!
how the restoration aint even real
Fake restorations are wildly popular on UA-cam
that's a shame
@@landonbailey Forgot to sub, fixed that
When they disable comments, you know something is up.
Totally agree. YT is full of these kinds of videos, watches, pistols, toys, you name it.
I would name them Jonathan
I even said that vid was Fake. You can spray it with vinegar and let it sit. Normally natural rusting would show up differently and this isn't it.
Dude, love your channel! Great job calling this one out and your take was interesting and entertaining too! Keep up the good work keepin it real.
Hahaha my friend...fellow fiddler for 30+ trips around the sun here, good call. I just watched this a few hours ago and also called out BS just a few minutes in. I have reconditioned a DeArmond SG copy with gold foils that sat in a shed in Texas for 2 years. Besides the obvious stuff of avoiding showing certain things on camera, the perfect cleanliness of the pickup cavity and back of the pick guard made me know it was 100% made up. There would have been cobwebs in every nook and cranny of that thing. Also...not a darn thing worth any value in that shed....except a Fender strat? No way. In a humid environment with a little assistance that kind of rust wouldn't take long. I hate to say this, but I speculate that guitar was set out there to "age" when the guy decided to start his channel a few months ago. Banging around on the walls would create that amount of dust in short order. Other comments about the rust, like the buried threads rusting are also on point.
If part 2 isn't in the can yet...you can bet your reaction and the comments are going to affect heavily what part 2 looks like. Also, on a sidenote, I wonder he spent so much time polishing the frets when it clearly needs at least a fret level.
This video showed up in my feed yesterday and I watched it as well. I’ve never seen screws so rusty turn with such ease without stripping or breaking. Absolutely a fake
We have an old wooden leaky shed I keep soil old gardening tools and my custom shop Les Paul. Generally couldn’t find a safer place for it.
Great tip!
The restoration video landed in my "recommended" list the other day so I watched it. I thought that the "finding the guitar in the shed" portion was fake, and that the dirt on the guitar looked conveniently uniform. But I hadn't considered that the entire premise might be fake, and that it really wasn't an old guitar with rusted out parts, but a perfectly fine Mexican Strat with some old rusted parts replacing the correct parts. I'll be interested in seeing Part 2, and looking a lot more closerly for signs of fakery in the restoration process.
Yeah, I always film myself looking in to random sheds, on the off chance there is a "vintage" guitar in there.
He didn't even go to the effort of changing parts, he painted the originals and used other weathering/patina products and techniques. The clear liquid he used way most likely white spirit. 😂
Wait am I number one? Sheesh
You're always number one to us.
@@TheMojoFilters Aw so sweet
It has been there for many years, and he sees it exactly . When screws are roasted you cannot turn them, you rather break them 😂😂
4:08 Little tip for you when trying to see something that pops up fast in a YT video, you can press the , and . key to go frame by frame so you don't have to wrestle with the play button
great tip! someone else mentioned that. that's the same keyboard shortcut for Final Cut Pro!
The same kind of fakes happen all the time with watch repair/restoration videos too. They want you to believe someone sold them a Rolex without brushing the dirt off.
The body routes look like the current method Fender have been using since 2018 or so, especially the trem cavity. It is hard to tell with the sunburst finish, but it looks more like the way they route the Player Series guitars after painting them. The pickup cavity looks like it was painted after routing, so the same could be true of the back side of course. Regardless, it looks fairly modern in the routing.
He's Back with part Two.. Haven't watched.. thought I'd wait for the Review 💁♂
it was a 1 part commentary series!
@@landonbailey Ohh. Now I feel Bad ☹.. You could have been Randomly doing Anything Better than Watching that !
The frets being so oxidized (the blue green) means the copper in the fretwire (it's a thing) would have been subject to extensive, enduring moisture, it doesn't happen overnight. But the wood all looks brand new (not counting the relicing), with zero moisture damage. Roadworn guitars have only a nitro coat no poly base. Note the dust comes off easy but moisture makes dust stick to everything like goo. The only thing that could do this deliberately was maybe he sprayed all the metal down with dilute acid, but couldn't do it assembled as the nitro or wood could have been damaged. So I think he separately acid bathed all the parts and the fretboard (fretboard damage apparent), and then assembled it, and then dusted it up after. EDIT: I also like the salt water bath as mentioned in comments below.
at least he did not used ramen noodels as bondo, like the guy in the video The Guitologist reacted 2 years ago :D
This had came up in my feed too, and the switch was the giveaway. It has the same sticker as the modern 5-way Fender Strat switch.
I think this is the same guy that pulled a cassette stereo out of a muddy creek. You could see as he was washing the entire amp with a rag in a bucket of water how the silk screen printing was almost gone. Once "restored" it looked and played like it just came out of the box. Not a scratch and the lettering was perfect.
I asked how he was able to get the trim pots, transformers, motors and relays working and he replied saying it was because Korean parts were much better than US parts. I'd say he started with a perfectly good player and stitched the restoration in reverse.
Brad the Guitologist posted a video of one of these a while back where a guy "restores" an acoustic guitar he found on the side of the road. You should watch it, the guy uses a water hose and steel brush to clean the dirt off. 🤣
Literally popped up in my feed last night and as soon as he did the first cloth wipe I was like 'oh nooooo...that aint right...' and now this morning I see your video. Vindication! lol
you may like my follow up
"How did he get it so rusty and dirty?" Easy. Paint, and lots of it. Maybe some dirt sprinkled in, at the most.
I got suspicious the second i see him clear the dust so easily ... 🎸🎸
🎸👍
Don't miss next week video on his channel. He is going to find a Stradivarius.😂
😛
That neck plate was completely corroded on the backside yet there was no manage the the finish underneath. Completely fake
Yup...👍🎯
@Landon Bailey Finally someone who is outing these frauds awesome from North Wales UK keep up the good work dude .
Fake-a-roonie- Lando, the Phillips screw heads are another telltale sign this is modern unlike the slotted screws on old Fenders.
🎸👍
The other giveaway that it's Mexican is the scratchplate screw is not adjacent to the top of the pickup switch but about an inch above, only Mex strats have this feature.
Yikes, that you know that is scary.
@@216trixie I'm a stray geek, what can I say?!
Strat!
@@mikeking3042 lol
----------------> There's a suspicious chunk of aluminum foil on the body that just so happens to cover the MIM Fender routing alignment hole location.
ya
A guy walks into a shed with a go pro or other device. If i walked into a shed, id be moving things around searching for anything He Finds an abandoned guitar quickly. Frets are nickel plated. I have nickels in my pocket that are not rusty. Even more peculiar is the green which would indicate over 20 years of oxidized copper on the frets. I didnt get a good look at the headstock, but i didn’t see an entrance for a truss rod.
Pickups are coiled copper on a magnet. They looked brand new. No rust, no oxidation of the copper. Not even brown.
Small wires like that would fall apart when you touched them.
He was quick to take the plate off the body. Didn’t flip both sides. No damage underneath. there should at least be a square mark with some rust. Should be four holes for the plate. There were two others that were smaller under the fingerboard
just sayin
the single string tree with staggered tuners is a dead give away!!! Should’ve done it with a classic series
You should have clicked on Big D's Gibson restore video when You were on the Next video button.. That's Not Fake !!
If you go to JAX chemical they sell all the stuff to rust out steel and oxidize brass and copper…
I use it to make signs for my wife’s horses…it’s not work at all to get all that rust. The cellulose insulation sprinkled on it was a nice touch though…I bet August is Falling would love that guitar
thanks for sharing
That's acrylics paints mixed with corn flour and an oil wash.
Notice how they never show the serial number on the back of the headstock….also the 5 way has a modern sticker on it
It ain't fake. I found four strats in the past year abondoned in the bushes and old sheds. It does happen 😂
You are so lucky i only found a couple of broadcasters this year in bushes. 🙂
@@perbacksten6149 wtf bro where do you guys live how do you find a guitar just laying around??
@@canakpinar1020 Just chek in the bushes and sheds in your area.
Strats or magazines of an... adult... nature? 🤔😄
I found a 59 LP in a skip right outside my house! 😄
I use to work on guitars back in the 70’s when I lived on the Gulf Coast of Texas. I never saw even a Vintage Fender or Gibson that was ever this dirty. Shame on the guy who did this!
🎸👍
There a a few fake restoration channels. The rust always just wipes away....like water based paint would lol.
magic!
London you just crushed my heart. Now I don’t believe in the Easter Bunny, tooth fairy and Santa Claus!
I saw this too and thought if it was leaning against the wall for a long time the neck would be so warped, the wood would be so messed up. You can't just wipe that away.
I appreciated this more than I should have. Never thought I'd ever see you this upset, man. lol!!! 😂UA-cam needs more caller-outers like you my friend!! 😉👈
So funny. I saw the video pop up in search and said " that's fake" and then this video appears 4 videos later. I only clicked on this one.
3:50 When you pause a youtube video, you can use the comma and period keys to move back and forward one frame at a time.
I’ve played guitar over 55 years and have had at least a couple hundred. Bought - sold -traded.
In the neck pocket there’s a serial number 6782051 there and when looked up it’s a Korean made between 1988-96 . And there’s no part two to the video.
The only possible way anything on that should be that rusted if it was left out in a very humid and rainy climate not in a shed
And if they were really that rusty there would be no finish left
I knew immediately it was clickbait as soon as I saw the promo for the restoration
Yeah that wiring was definitely the giveaway.
the rust is painted lol. No guitar will ever have this kind of green oxydated stuff on the frets XD
I watched until he found it and realized what was going on!!!🤪🤪🤪 it’s funny how an hour after that I saw your vid on it!! Kudos
Immediately obvious as fake which makes it more entertaining.
how so?
honestly, my fave part was when he didn't use a cordless screwdriver to extend the length of the video.....
when he took that disgusting neck plate off the paint was perfect under it. that was my first give away.
Saw this the other day and thought the same. Also, there's a 100% chance you'd do the best Garfield impression 😺
It popped onto my feed too. Seemed a bit too good to be true.
Landon you should post a video where you find a $5000 PRS in a old abandoned van lol 😆 in middle of no where but as a spoof video 😄
The only thing I find in abandoned vans is hornet nests.
If you watch the video carefully, you will see the guy remove a screw from the Pick-guard. The screw was co-called rusted from one end to the other, look closely at the Pick-guard hole where the screw came out of. Where's the rust marks in the plastic from the screw? The plastic would have been stained for good especially where the screw was touching the Pick-guard hole that it came out of. That plastic was a white as a new pick-guard. No rust stain marks seen at all. A rust like dye would have stained that area seeing the screw was touching that area when tight, but I don't see any stains at all. Those rust stains change the color of plastic that can't be removed no matter how hard you try to do so. Take some old rusty screws you might have around the house, and place it a clear plastic bowl and leave it sitting on in the weather all summer long. Don't touch it. Let the rain get at it, and later the sun dry it up, and watch the plastic take on rust stains. Ove time, those rust stains work their way into the plastic leaving stains that can't be removed no matter how hard you try and remove them. Video show two places on the pick-guard where rusted screws were removed, and both are clean and white as a whistle showing no signs of rust stains at all. The intonation screws are not rusted on the bridge area, like the ones holding the bridge down. Why is there such a great difference in rusting between the two sets of screws when so close together on the guitar? Both should be rusted about equally, wouldn't you say? Same applies to the String riser screws. Looks pretty easy to raise and lower the string heights before being cleaned up. Tremolo arm appears so rusty, it should show signs of metal pitting once cleaned up. On Most Fender Strats the metal under the bridge where the springs ar attached is bare metal not protected by a chrome covering like that of the chrome covered screws. The metal under the bridge is not affected with rust and much as the screws that are normally chrome plated for both shininess and protection against rust. Doesn't make sense that the screws are far more rusted than the un-protected metal under the bridge including the springs themselves I also noticed the control pots were never shown in video, and they would have been just as rusted out (or dirty) as the screws were if moister got to the screws and bridge. They are not protected by paint or chrome finish. Wonder why they weren't shown and cleaned along with the rest of all the parts shown? There was a small rust stain shown at the beginning of the video at one of the back Pick-ups nearest the bridge, yet no stain is seen once pickups are put back in place ... where is that stain? If set in plastic, he wouldn't have been able to get it out. There is some pitting on the cleaned-up tuners but far less than what should have been seen from what I saw at the beginning of video. No, I'd say this video is a fake using a well-used Fender Strat that has some age to it before the video began. The dirt on it at the beginning appeared more like burnt wood ashes from a well-used wood stove.
How convenient that the guitar was laying against the wall instead of being buried under the rubble.
I think the majority of youtubers are in it for the money anyway. Do whatever it takes to get views just like you calling this guy out.
This one popped up on my channel as well last week. I knew from almost minute one it was total b.s. and obviously a road worn 50's strat. He just threw a bunch of dirt on it and rusted the parts. I agree with you 100%. Total fake
👍🎸
Originally he was going to give a video tour of his lumber-filled storage shed, which would have been riveting in itself. He decided to turn it into a guitar video instead.
The video popped (or should I say pooed) up on my feed. I didn't even make it to when they found the guitar, it was so lame and I knew it was fake. Thanks Landon for making it entertaining.
ya it's a cool concept for sure! and that's why it worked on so many people
There's so many fake Resto channels out there now. So lame
It's nice when someone calls out the phoney actors! - Thanks Landon
Interesting that the metal components are completely rusted, yet the wood is pristine.
😊👍🎸
Definitely a modern Mexican 50's reissue. That's why the tape was covering the holes under the pickguard AND the yellow and white mexican wiring.
Just the way how the guitar was PURPOSELY covered with dust....all the bells rang instantly. Epic fake xD
its so blatant that it has that much rust and dirt but the finish under is perfectly glossy, and the plastics havent even yellowed which is normally the first thing that will happen with age
Reminds me of the alien autopsy video.
that was real though :P
That was also my first impression for that video. Money, money money!
Agreed.
I thought so... The backside of the deep dish backplate looked like it was stamped yesterday
soaking the parts in (incredibly corrosive) muratic acid mixed with vinegar will take the finish off of metal, unfinished metal oxidizes & corrodes fast… unless that rust is a painted-on effect… like if you watch videos on _”how to create a vintage metal sign”,_ you can learn to create a rust effect with paint…
you can rust some guiatr parts by putting them into air waves of acid, the longer you let them in, the rustier you get those parts
I knew this was fake by the thumbnail..more instinct than any proof..but we was right😂
But think how much it cost him to build that shed and put all that stuff in there!
it cost them everything
You could originally comment on the video and everyone was calling him out one dude said it must have took him longer to dirty it up than it did to restore. Now the comments are disabled
I made my own part 2! ua-cam.com/video/Ne-YHzoxwMw/v-deo.html
The solid plug in the truss rod hole is the most obvious. They're not solid, and even if they were, this one is pristine. Never been out, and we know that's not possible!
