    Sean. You’ve exceeded all my expectations of what this thing could be and it will now enter my small arsenal of daily driver guitars I’ll use in my amp demos. It represents to me both the worst and the best of what can happen to a piece of wood called a “guitar”. What was once cast aside like some “prom night dumpster baby” or leper in a leper colony has been healed. This is exactly what my channel has always been about - fixing that which has been neglected and left for dead. Sure it might still carry a few scars, but it will wear those scars proudly, as proof of where it’s been and how it was redeemed. Now it’s more than just a Gibson…it’s a SCARRED!
    Nobody better touch my Scarred Guitar!

      You enjoy your Dumpster Paul, man! Play it and play it LOUD! I only have one question to ask: Why would they throw away a perfectly good guitar, a Gibson Les Paul no less? Why not sell it at a reduced price, or donate it to a school music program?

  • @Nosferdamus
    @Nosferdamus 7 місяців тому +10

    Sounds even better than a Gibson, and it has that history to it. You not only saved this guitar, you breathed new life into it which it wouldn't have had before. Simply amazing!

      Except Gibson told them to destroy it.

    • @RichardGutierrezRG
      @RichardGutierrezRG 7 місяців тому

      PRS has or had a zero tolerance "no such thing as a factory second" policy. Any guitar of theirs that at any time along the assembly line, didn't meet their strict standard, was taken to the belt sander and destroyed.

    • @maddienreeree
      @maddienreeree 5 місяців тому +1

      ​@@RichardGutierrezRG Yeah, but the caveat there is "At any point on THEIR ASSEMBLY LINE"... It's one thing to destroy something that you make in your own factory that doesn't meet your own exacting standards because of how high your own standards are, because it's your own reputation on the line (Paul has made a Great name for himself because he knows what his high standards mean to the folks that buy and play his instruments) but it's another thing altogether to make an instrument, send it through a supposed quality control check, send it out to a retailer, and THEN say "Meh... Take it out back and kill it with a hammer and dispose of it's remains in the dumpster!" Gibson just ain't what they used to be! Gibson recalled a bunch of guitars that hadn't sold... And in their INFINITE WISDOM decided to line them up on the ground and proceeded to RUN OVER THEM ALL WITH A FUQ-ING BULLDOZER... HUNDREDS OF THEM... WITH ALL OF THE HARDWARE STILL ON THE GUITARS... TUNERS, BRIDGES, PICK-UPS... THE WHOLE SHEBANG! AND YES... THE VIDEO OF THAT MASSACRE IS ON UA-cam... BUT YOU WOULD NEVER CATCH PAUL DOING THAT!

    Wow. It may not be "perfect", but it's by far and away better than what came out of that dumpster. Keep this up and you'll either have Gibson wanting to hire you for its Custom Shop........or taking you to court 😂 !

    Cheers to you again just the same as I have said to you many times already regarding many of your past videos! Rock On.............................................................................................................!

  • @ELITE815

    Adding shielding to the pickup and control cavities helps reduce noise and interference by creating a faraday cage. However, they must all be connected to the ground circuit.

Cheers and much respect, Paul in the UK.

  • @danedearmond4905
    @danedearmond4905 7 місяців тому +1

    Great work as usual Sean! You gave that beaten down axe a second life.
    Side Note: I just foil lined he inside of my strat this morning. Very noticeable difference in "noise". Single coils now have to be up at max with high distortion to even hear the hum... Not sure what good it does for humbuckers, but I don't think it hurts to give some extra EMI shielding especially when it only costs about $1 - 2 per guitar.
    I know it made a heck of a difference on my latest IBZ style build. Even as an HSH it had some noise on almost every switch setting. Insulating the body with copper foil tape really brought the noise back down to near non-existance. Kinda like you said in the video. If you have it? Use it. It can't hurt, even if you can't always hear how much it helps...
