      also notice how the pickups were all conveniently still usable, despite supposedly being left outside for god knows how long he wanted us to believe.
      my strat from 2014 is having a neck pickup that has low volume output, frets almost flat from constant bending and playing. I put that strat in my room and it doesn’t even get exposed to sunlights. i wonder if this guy can help me rewound my pickups.

    I’ve been a guitar enthusiast for 30 years. I’ve seen guitars in every conceivable condition of wear and disrepair. This is the most hilarious attempt I’ve ever seen of someone “restoring” a “dirty” instrument. Yes fellow commenters, it’s fake as hell.

    Too bad because that squier neck looked really cool aged the way it was. Should have respray it white again put the original neck on without refretted and sanded down and put white plastics on it and it would have been perfect and vintage correct.

    😮.. so odd. Someone left it out in a rainy mud puddle for a week...(probably less). Then dried it in a oven. Or on a dedicated heatn source..to get the poly finish to flake after water absorbed.. and hit with a hammer. (Yes I also swung a 20oz hammer for 25+ yrs as a carpenter. I'm not trying to disrespect your video. Just pointing out oddities .. then after all that to make it .. idk. ? Like this? Then they went and put on a new set of Strings?!??!? Because when you cut the strings off. They weren't rusted. As a guitarist who does a bit of work on Guitars. I can tell You. Strings rust Very easily...at least signs of pitting will be evident.. but. Hey. It's a fun video.. I personally don't care for pristine finishes.. I play my guitars and prefer them to be. And look played .. but. Hey. To each their own.. awesome wood grain on the fretboard...very visible and distinctive... great video 👍🎸.
    .. I'm scratching my head at some of the things I'm watching you do.. like oil the heads of screws a that are merely dirty. Wipe 'em ofc with a oily rag. The threads more than the heads.. but. .. what I find. Strange. Is those tuning keys .. you spent more on electric and tool wear and oil than buying a new set for $14. Or $7. . I get That it's a restoration. But at some point it becomes comical to go the extra mile to get crappy components back to their full luster.... Just Saying..

    The pre-drilled board for the Epiphone to help you clean all the screws was genius.
    I'm filing that idea away for future use.
    Pity you could not save the paint on the Epi - might have looked epic with the checking on it.

      It's a 2011 Epi with a poly finish. No way that the "checking" is in any way genuine, it would have been a result of whatever ungodly stuff this guy did to the guitar before he "restored" it

    The second one looks legitimately beat up. Nobody stuck around for that one it looks like.

      he got a deal on the plywood body "Fender Sandocaster" $1.99 , I recon the replacement neck cost 2 or 3 hundred though? 😁
