Beautiful!
Thank you!!
that cherry looks SO good. incredible work :)
Thank you so much! I adored looking at it while I had it! 😍
LOVE IT!!! Beautiful color. Excellent work. Really interesting to watch. Hope you have more of these.
Thank you so much!! Yes I definitely plan on filling the channel with all my work! Thank you for watching and commenting! I appreciate it 🙂
Pro paint that looked better than some guitars fresh out of the factory.
Thank you so much! I greatly appreciate that! 🙂
SPECTACULAR! You did every step correctly and paid very precise attention to detail! You have every right to be proud, and every right to call yourself a refinishing expert! Well done, and yes, I'm proud of you too! Glad to be a new subscriber to your channel!
Joe, from CA :) :) 👍👍
Thank you so much Joe!! 😊 I greatly appreciate your comment! It is very kind of you to say that all, and it definitely made my day. Thank you for subscribing to my channel! There is plenty of content to come! Thanks again! 🙂🤘
@@guitarcpr My pleasure! One thing I might add, as to your precise attention to detail, is how you "cut to the chase" so to speak, explaining how you were doing the job step by step, instead of having it be like a physics lesson!
Looking forward to more content!
Thanks man!! Hahaha yes! I definitely try to get to the point, just for attention span sake lol. I try to give the points you need without throwing a bunch of stuff at you. Send me an email or an Instagram message when you get a chance, I’d love to send you some business cards and guitar picks! Thanks again for your comments, it helps to know I’m moving in the right direction. 🙂
Great job man! I painted cars way back in another life so I understand how work it is. I would definitely mess something up if I tried that 😅
Thanks man! I can only imagine, I’ve yet to tackle painting a car or motorcycle, but maybe someday I’ll have an opportunity! I have the upmost respect for that, thanks again! 🙂
One word: AMAZING. Going to do one soon myself. Now i know what it'll take and what it'll look like. Thanks for this. Great work.
Thank you! Good luck with it and let me know how it turns out, I’d love to see it!! If you have a questions, feel free to reach out! Thanks again!
AW NICE!!! Plus I love the block marker 335's.
Thank you!! 🙂 Yes! I love them, they take the guitar up a level for sure!
What a beautiful job! Also, thank your girlfriend for us for picking up the binding scrapings.
Thank you!! And yes, haha I definitely did! She enjoyed your comment for sure! 😄
He failed to use enough adjectives when describing his girlfriend. It should have been "wonderful, beautiful, thoughtful, supportive girlfriend."
Also, the scraping stick to leather couches and then the couch also requires scraping.
Thank you for all of your work dear! 😊
Awesome!!!!!!!
Thank you so much!!!
Realy nice work, but i have to say, i loved the age finish of the guitar before as well!
Thank you! Yes, it did have a nice aged patina and character. If only it was salvageable!
Great job. My favorite finish and fretboard markers for a 335.
Thank you! I agree, that combination is classy looking!
I was lusting after the no-stained wood... but I like wood.
Natural finishes are gorgeous! I do like wood too! Lol 🙂
Love the color...it's perfect for the guitar model...great work!
Thank you so much!! Yes, it’s definitely a classic color for that guitar! 🙂
Very nice job. The guitar looks brand new.
Thank you so much!! It really does! 😍
Great refinish job. I know some would say that a vintage guitar should never be refinished, but sometimes it is a must. 2 Qs: 1. Would it make sense to mask the bindings so they don't have to be scraped? 2. Where can I get clear nitro lacquer that isn't in a spray can in the USA? I like the control of a spray gun over an unpredictable spray can. Thanks!
Thank you!! Yes, I have gotten that from a few people, which is expected. But yes I agree, this guitar made my entire house smell like mold lol, just from being in the house. Which many don’t get when they see pics or a video lol, so this was one that was in desperate need. Yes, you definitely could tape off the binding. I personally usually don’t, just in fear of pulling off any paint I don’t want to come off. I’m sure eventually I’ll get into just taping the binding sides and scraping the top. I just gotta find a good tape. I use Mohawk Stringed Instrument Lacquer, I buy it by the gallon at Sherwin Williams. However, the store needs to sell industrial finishes, most do not unfortunately. I’m sure many websites may sell it though. They also have a quart size at Woodcraft, if you have any of those stores near you. I understand, you definitely have more control with a gun, and I do not thin it down, like many that come in a spray can. Thanks!!
FLAWLESS!!!
Thank you!! 🙂
That's some great work, you are right to be proud of it! Ive never seen anyone use stencils / templates for the headstock inlays before. Could you explain how you did those? I might steal that idea to help with my refinish of a modern 335
Thank you! I greatly appreciate it! Most companies use a decal of some sort for the logos. Gibson has veneers and some are silkscreened. However this guitar was a solid block inlay. From some research, I found they would place a stencil of some sort, spray the black lacquer, then clean it up after. So I placed a vinyl decal of Gibson’s logo, sprayed the black, then removed the decal. Their logo changed quite a bit through the years and from that time, there was no “dot” in the “i” from what I’ve found. Plus there was no room for it in the MOP inlay either so it seems correct. Hope this helps! I’d love to see what you’re working on! Feel free to message me on Instagram! 🙂
@@guitarcpr Amazing, I always wondered how it was done so accurately. Now I know. Thank you
Anytime!! 🙂
Very nice video, deserves more views!! Very nice Refinish as well, I know I can't do barely more than just restring a guitar lol
Thank you so much!! I definitely hope for more views! Haha I believe in you! It all starts by tinkering with things and practice makes perfect, it’s always a learning experience :)
It's like turning the clock back 50 years on a beautiful mature woman and giving her a sexy red dress.
Thanks for sharing.
Hahaha! Yes, exactly like that! 😂 Thanks a lot man! I really appreciate it! 🙂
Awesome work. Truly amazing. Quick question, I'm assuming since it's a maple top and back you skipped the vinyl sealer, but did the neck (which is mohagany) get sealed? Oh, and that stringed instrument lacquer is a game changer. I was using the Finisher's Choice (M612-25806) and I find that the Classic (M610-1406) cuts coats by half.
Again, awesome work. 👌🏻
Thank you!! I did not use any sealer on this guitar, I typically don’t to be honest. I tend to just load up on the lacquer and let it settle a while. The stringed instrument lacquer really is a game changer! I love how thick it sprays on and with a 90 sheen, you can’t beat it! I also used to use the classic haha, now we both know the better option! Thanks again! 🤘
You removed the tone mold ?
Yes, unfortunately. 😂 We had to find another way to achieve the same tone as possible!
If you made Michelle Pfifer 50 years younger, you would have to remove the fillings, caps, crowns, implants, and botox, but what you ended up with would be so worth it.
what kind of spray gun do you use (make and model please). is it just a regular paint sprayer you can get from a hardware store or is it something specifically made for spraying lacquer? thanks
It is an automotive siphon feed gun from Central Pneumatic (Harbor Freight). I made sure that it had a 2mm needle, this way I don’t have to worry about reducing the lacquer. It works great with metal flake as well!
@@guitarcpr thanks for the reply
I would have a decorative white strike where the body meets the neck, to match up to the bonding and give some unity throughout the guitar
Yeah that would look pretty cool!
Nice finish. Girlfriend must really love you if she didn't beat your a$$ after messing up the couch...lol...
Thank you! Yes hahaha!! That’s how you know it’s true love! Not many are willing to put up with that for their partner lol!
Looks kinda blotchy
Thank you for watching and for your opinion! 🙂
