Thanks! I never knew they had so many screws, but it’s definitely quite the job to do. I used to bondo gas tanks that were beat to heck. I don’t miss sanding and wet sanding by hand! Again thanx for showing me how to do this!❤😮
As a guitarist and a guitar builder in the USA I am so impressed with this video, the extent that you went on the neck is beyond belief. Awesome job I could not have done a better job myself you took what resources you had and put a new fingerboard on, put new frets in leveled and crowned it. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼, it is obvious you do know what you’re doing, your refinish on the guitar is one of the best restorations I’ve ever seen on UA-cam. A wonderful job. Great work!
You couldn't have done a better job yourself and you're in the USA?? Well, I guess that means it would have been impossible to do a better job then 😂 You mightn't have meant it to be but your comment came across as a bit patronizing!
@@FlameFlickers I think you're reading too much into that. He's just giving some background for context, his experience and where he is. "Couldn't have done a better job", taken at face value, is clearly a compliment. Your comment could come across as rather gratuitous and adversarial - but I'm sure it also came from the right place.
@@FlameFlickers Just visited his channel and not trying to make fun of him' watch his video on setting up the intonation on the tele. He has no idea what he's doing. Pitiful.
Albert Collins was driving through Florida or Louisiana late one night. His Tele flew out the window and landed in the swamp, where it sat for years until this fine gentleman came along and rescued it. You have done an outstanding job, sir! Albert would be pleased
That poor baby! Great video! I have an ES335 style project guitar that someone started stripping the finish from and instead of completing it, sold it to the thrift store. This video showed me a great way to "finish" the job. Thanks!!
wow this is your best video I have seen of you restoring a guitar so far amazing. Do you know how the guitar got in to such terrible shape, looks like flood damage. You saved this guitars life after so much neglect
The wonderful patina guitar for the "Purest" would prefer the old battle scared guitar , conserved fully functional properly - although we know the neck had to be rebuilt but afterwards could have been distressed to blend back into the original appearance. The Battle Scared Guitar would have been my dream guitar of a lifetime ....Long Live the" Rush/ Max Webster's "Battle Scar" song ."
In my years as a musician, I have never seen a guitar as destroyed as that Fender Telecaster. It made me sad to see how destroyed it was. I hope her new owner loves her and takes care of her as she deserves.
I hate to break it to you, but this channel appears to be following an extremely common practice with "restoration" channels like this: buying vintage stuff, then leaving it outside, or sometimes using a variety of chemical exposures and other methods to accelerate wear and give them a really eye-catching "before" to contrast with the "after." There just aren't that many easily attainable, horrendously neglected, yet restoration-worthy guitars out there to sustain a channel like this. For the views they're getting, it's good business to go and wreck a nice guitar so they have another restoration project to film.
You did a really good job there . I would have sunk the Bridge plate and neck plate in a rust dissolver like evapo rust But aal in all what a difference
Absolutely amazing. You just taught me about 50 techniques. This should be a required video for Luthier school. I cannot possibly tell you how much I got from this. And my many, many thanks! Mark
Amazing work, as always. I love that the rotting areas weren’t hidden under an opaque finish. They’re part of the guitar’s history and so they’re tastefully on display.
Ι don't care much about opaque finish, i prefer the natural look of the wood grain, but i would fill in the hole left after the rotten wood was removed, with wood dust mixed with glue.
One way that I've found to deal with dry rot damage on guitars is to soak the effected area in CA glue (that's super glue which is also called crazy glue in some places), you want the cheap thin stuff that you can buy in dollar stores, and really give it a good soaking, letting it get down deep into the soft wood. The super glue will not fill in big holes but it will give you a nice firm base to push filler into. Hope this helps.
@@FlipDahlenburg You can buy stuff specially designed to harden rotten wood at the home improvement store, it's the stuff they use on window frames and the like, I've personally never used it because the area of rot I fixed was small enough to just use super glue on.
Best restoration so far--you brought that beautiful guitar back from the dead. I was so anxious that you were going to have to paint the body but the refinish job is amazing! Very talented!
So... here's a conversation I had last night... My wife: hey, it's time for bed (said with a wink and a knowing smile) Me: Sure thing! I'll be up in a minute. Just been watching a bit of UA-cam, guitar resto stuff lols My wife: Don't be long then (wink) 45 minutes later.... Me: wow, what a lovely restoration of a Telecaster. I could watch this guy for hours on end. Another original saved. What a guy. Me: I don't think my wife will be awake and waiting for me... oops ;)
Excelente trabajo te Felicito eres un profesional ..., Saludos desde México..., pero me podrías compartir el listado de materiales que usas para restaurar...??? yo tengo una guitarra vieja y me gustaría intentar esta restauración... Gracias
Great workmanship, but I call b.s. on the pickguard. At 36.56 you can see the treble horn area is damaged (material is missing), but at 37:11 it looks brand new. I don't think they are the same pickguard. I would have purchased a new one for $15 instead of spending 30 minutes cleaning/scrubbing polishing the old one. 30 minutes of my time is worth a lot more the $15.
I'm wondering about that UV cure resin used. I'd like to get my hands on a bottle of it, if it's suitable strength for filling in next to the neck socket.
That rotting wood had me shuddering in horror at the sight of it. But I knew it would be worth it to watch til the end, and of course it was. As usual you did beautiful work, and it is always fascinating to see the level of skill, work, and love you put into every project. Well done as always! その腐った木材は、私をそれを見て恐怖で震えさせました。しかし、私は終わりまで見ることはそれだけの価値があると知っていました、そしてもちろんそうでした。いつものように、あなたは美しい仕事をしました、そして、あなたがすべてのプロジェクトに入れたスキル、仕事、そして愛のレベルを見るのは常に魅力的です。いつものようによくやった！
As a luthier, I find this video interesting but you really need to learn how to use chisels and wood plane as not to rely on power tools all the time. For example the the truss insert should have been planed to ensure perfect square for the fretboard to sit on. Similarly, a chisel would have produce a far nicer nut slot and the transition curve behind the nut to the headstock face could have been carved to produce a nice line before sanding.
Turned out great you did good to keep as much of the original parts as possible while making it functional again, the only unfortunate part (not your fault) is the pick guard covering up the severely damaged area by the neck pocket. At least you still see some of it, that and the crusty bridge are my favorite parts of the restoration. You did a perfect job on this one well done!
Thanks for posting this very extensive restoration video. The shots and editing are very entertaining! However, i suspect a future restoration with also be requited, as it does not appear that all of the microorganisms causing the wood rot were removed. Some of them dont need air to reproduce, so they wood under the repairs may continue to rot. Also i would worry that the epoxy to wood bond at the neck may fail under long term neck and string tension, but thats totally a guess. Maybe replacing some of wood would be better structurally. But the epoxied rot looks so cool! Thanks for posting this highly interesting vid!
Lovely work - things I thought were odd, no shielding at all, hence the buzz at the end. Line the pockets with thin layer of copper and ensure they are a continuous ground plane (including the bridge). Was the truss rod ok - didn’t see any truss rod adjustment, I guess it was all rusted and useless? I thought the finish on the neck was beautiful!!
With all the great parts of this restoration I respect, as a pro for over 35yrs I would NEVER suggest to anyone to use CA glue to glue-seat frets. For anyone watching that is new to re-fretting: after thoroughly cleaning your fret slots, and pre-fitting your fret, IF you are going to glue-seat the fret, please use slightly diluted wood glue (Tightbond 2, or LePage, or WeldBond, etc) INSIDE the slot where the tang will fit, and then press or tap them in as per your chosen method, but PLEASE don't use CA glue for seating frets! That's an absolute LAST resort for any fret work or fret repair. I WILL say that a mix of wood powder and CA glue is sometimes good for repairing a fret slot that's very old, damaged, and has become too wide or expanded for fitting the new fret--you can even spray that with accelerator after applying. You can then re-saw or re-file the slot to fit your tang. That typically one the only safe, practical, or viable uses for CA glue when it comes to frets. Even a lifting fret from an older or worn fretboard can be re-seated with diluted WeldBond and clamped. If you do it right they never lift until re-heated and pulled for re-fretting. ~JSV
Hey, so nothing trying to be an as* or anything just genuienly corious, how is wood glue suppesed to hold in metal ? I have watched a few refret jobs and from what Ive seen most people use dialuted super glue.
You didn't protect the tress rog you got glue all over it, you salvaged the keyboard by heating the tool and bleach would've taking out the black marks on the headstock, you changed the dynamics of the guitar but maybe that's what you wanted, but it does look awesome.
Great workmanship,, the only thing that looks out of place is the saddle. I know the idea is not to make it look factory new, but that saddle had so much pitting it is not giving character....it is giving ugly. $15 for a new saddle would have been money well spent. I bet whomever buys the guitar will replace the saddle.
When I watch these videos, I can't stop thinking about how many stories, how many gigs, experiences and anecdotes the guitar has. Will its owner or owners be able to see this video? Will they want to get it back?
Claramente estuvo bajo agua de mar esa telecaster, compraste toda electrónica nueva y te pusiste a medir con el tester los micrófonos, todo debe tener sal. El estado del puente es atroz, pero dice Fender, quizás lo hubiera esmerilado en el lugar donde el agua de mar se comió el lateral. La madera estaba más allá del mundo ya, milagro que pudieras sacarla adelante con esa resina.

Hello Friend, indeed one your best ! This MJT Fender Telecaster is well preserved despite its former condition and has been faithfully restored grace to your fantastic talent ! The fretboard replacement, is a piece of art and finally, this Telly has a trumendous vintage sound ! Well done Man ! Thank you so much for this amazing video, see you next...
Отличная работа, как всегда. Одно замечание. Гнилой участок на корпусе стоило заполнить древесной пульпой, или сделать деревянную вставку. У Вас гнилой участок производит впечатление грязного.
The rebirth of Telecaster is so satisfying. The guitar neck rebuild part is particularly awesome. In terms of handcraft process, to make a new neck from zero could be more easier , keep it original to renew all usable materials is deserves respect. or either make a test for yourself anyway, the result is superb craftsmanship bring this beautiful Tele a second life to singing again, Great job and really enjok the video, Salute!
Wow! Mastery of work. When I read your video title that it mentioned ‘rotting wood’, I thought ‘no way!’ But you were spot on! Can’t believe a guitar can get that trashed. I’m guessing longterm water damage? Well done, great work.
Dico solo una cosa Meraviglioso Lavoro se sarebbe possibile conoscere la storia di questa chitarra come è stata corrotta dal tempo ma non lo sapremo mai di certo che oggi riveve la sua vita great job
Since I've been watching you refurbish guitars I believe this one was the worse off damaged one yet but you saved it from being firewood now look how wonderful it is absolutely stunning no not perfect but its awesome
This video is great. Thank you for your time and effort. I wonder where do you find these guitars? Some of them are real jems. I also wonder about all the products you use, since i can't read japanese. Can you put a list with the products in english?
Some instruments are so badly contructed, that even with a ton of repairs, they need to be thrown away in the trash to be honest. Then you have neglected diamonds in the ruff, gems like what you have. That absolutely need TLC to bring them back to life. Good job man!
I’m always amazed at the skill you have to get these old messed up guitars to a point where they are back to their original glory. Very impressive!! You are a very talented luthier. Plus it’s a great bonus to see the fixed guitar being played at the end 🎸🎸
Wow!!! Mamma mia che gran lavoro!!! Compliments! an incredible job that brought a beautiful guitar back to life, reduced to unspeakable conditions (but how is it possible to reduce an instrument like this). Standing ovation!!!

If some wood color was mixed with the epoxy to mask the body repair and rechrome the bridge and it would be perfect
I actually spent the first third of this video trying to figure out why he would use rotting wood to repair a guitar. Great work btw.
Yeah - to anyone interested, I’ve got some rotting wood in my barn if you want it to fix it your rusty guitar - collect only, I don’t ship!!
You did a really good job there . I would have sunk the Bridge plate and neck plate in a rust dissolver like evapo rust But aal in all what a difference
A very good restoration. However, please replace that bridge plate with rusted, jagged edges. Dangerous to play.
When the fretboard starting breaking apart my heart broke a little
IKR. I was like "isn't that supposed to be one piece?" - I guess that is what happens when you store a telecaster under water....

One way that I've found to deal with dry rot damage on guitars is to soak the effected area in CA glue (that's super glue which is also called crazy glue in some places), you want the cheap thin stuff that you can buy in dollar stores, and really give it a good soaking, letting it get down deep into the soft wood. The super glue will not fill in big holes but it will give you a nice firm base to push filler into.
Hope this helps.
Would sanding sealer--if they still make it--work and be cheaper? It dries pretty hard.

The rebirth of Telecaster is so satisfying. The guitar neck rebuild part is particularly awesome. In terms of handcraft process, to make a new neck from zero could be more easier , keep it original to renew all usable materials is deserves respect. or either make a test for yourself anyway, the result is superb craftsmanship bring this beautiful Tele a second life to singing again, Great job and really enjok the video, Salute!
Never ever seen a guitar that new with that much rot in 40 years of playing and collecting, was it found in a wet basement,😮
You can see where the water/ dirt/ stain has pooled in areas weird....
Ça fait chaud au cœur de voir une si belle Telecaster retrouver une seconde vie ! Magnifique ! 😊👍
Great job and great video. My only beef is I wish you had shielded the pockets when you had it apart. Other then that it was a impressive restoration.
Wow! Mastery of work. When I read your video title that it mentioned ‘rotting wood’, I thought ‘no way!’ But you were spot on! Can’t believe a guitar can get that trashed. I’m guessing longterm water damage? Well done, great work.
Love watching these! Maybe could you put English translation of products used?
Dico solo una cosa Meraviglioso Lavoro se sarebbe possibile conoscere la storia di questa chitarra come è stata corrotta dal tempo ma non lo sapremo mai di certo che oggi riveve la sua vita great job
Since I've been watching you refurbish guitars I believe this one was the worse off damaged one yet but you saved it from being firewood now look how wonderful it is absolutely stunning no not perfect but its awesome
Fantastic restoration. I love that you kept the old pitted parts, and did not fit new chrome. It has a life story in its scars. Beautiful work.
Great job 👏
Makes ya think why would someone goof up the look of such a beautiful instrument !?,stay blessed my friend ! 😊
667! nice! and the playing at the end was a bonus!
試奏の最初のフレーズ、涙がこぼれそう！
This video is great. Thank you for your time and effort.
I wonder where do you find these guitars? Some of them are real jems.
I also wonder about all the products you use, since i can't read japanese. Can you put a list with the products in english?
Some instruments are so badly contructed, that even with a ton of repairs, they need to be thrown away in the trash to be honest. Then you have neglected diamonds in the ruff, gems like what you have. That absolutely need TLC to bring them back to life. Good job man!
Considering that was a crappy tuner in the first place (that era), I'm surprised you put that much effort into cleaning them.
I’m always amazed at the skill you have to get these old messed up guitars to a point where they are back to their original glory. Very impressive!! You are a very talented luthier. Plus it’s a great bonus to see the fixed guitar being played at the end 🎸🎸
Good job, although I'm not too keen on the choice and position of the Fender logo.
Wow!!! Mamma mia che gran lavoro!!! Compliments! an incredible job that brought a beautiful guitar back to life, reduced to unspeakable conditions (but how is it possible to reduce an instrument like this). Standing ovation!!!
Amazing rescue!
lovely restoration - really enjoyed - thank you.
Mesmerising ❤❤❤
It is 2006 - 2008 guitar. Why it is in such bad condition is incredible. I wish I could find these guitars in Aichi.
Flood bro
It’s artificial aging. There are way too many tell tales of it on all these “projects.”
I cant believe you left that truss rod in there. You could have replace it with such ease
