Absolutely not if I was charging someone for the work, but in this instance I bought the guitar for the challenge then flipped it. Cheers for watching!
It’s unlikely it was originally stained with a clear coats because it’s a four piece body. Also it should be a mahogany guitar as they only made the walnut SGs in the 1970s.
Ah yeah, I meant walnut colour rather than timber. Definitely mahogany. I'm pretty confident the staining came from the grain filling process where they use a tinted grain filler to serve as a base colour for the classic cherry red. Thanks for watching!
I watched all the videos back to back

'Sand down the bear wood' 😂
This is a very expensive restoration at $100 plus per hour. Is it worth it??

It would be awesome if you could route the opposite side and fill the present routes, making it into a right-handed, left-handed SG. Or a “reverse” SG
Yeah that could be quite cool! Albeit the SG is pretty symmetrical so the only real difference would be the horns I reckon.
No way, us lefties have a major disadvantage when getting lefties.
