Navigator Les Paul Refinish (Part 1 of 2)

Do you have a favorite guitar brand?
For me, it's ESP Navigator.

But I've never touched one before.
I'm always on the lookout for a good one for sale. I'm always on the lookout for a good one, but because of the price, I haven't been able to buy one.
I rarely play instruments, but I would love to have a Navigator JazzBass....
I'm going to take a blade to that guitar, strip the paint, replace the frets...
I'll do it...
So, I refinished a Navigator Les Paul type guitar with oil finish.
The customer who asked me to refinish his guitar had seen my previous video.

to get this kind of atmosphere.
She also asked me to use the color of Laura Cox's signature model.
Oil finishing is one of my favorite things to do, so I'm glad he asked me to do it.
Oil finish may look easy to do, but it takes a lot of time and effort if you want to get the best quality.
The color of the body top is black, which is colored with stain.
I wanted to show more of the wood grain, so I used an alcohol-based stain to give it a transparent look, and stroked it with 3000 paper to emphasize the reddish brown grain of the maple.
After scraping, I polished it with stain, solvent, and many other things.
The head had cracks in the paint, so I filled in the bumps and did some airbrush touch-ups.
The whole thing was then sprayed with clear lacquer and finally finished with a matte clear lacquer.
The lacquer was applied just in time for the season, so I was very nervous.
The original paint seemed to be urethane, which was a bit more difficult to remove than polyurethane paint, so it was a bit of a challenge.
I didn't have the tools to remove the stud bolts from the tune-automatic, so I made them out of water pipe and large washers I had at home.
If you have the money, you can buy a special tool from Stu Mac.
I thought the serial number on the head was engraved, but it turned out to be a stamp.
I bought a new stamp and stamped it with indestructible ink (they don't call it that anymore).
Shachihata's infinity stamp? It's good. I like it.
Here's the first part.
Since my MacBook Pro and external SSD couldn't take it anymore due to too much video shooting, I had to split it into two parts.
I'm hoping to upload the second part next Saturday.
Please feel free to comment with your questions.
You can ask me anything, like "What's going on here? What's going on here? I'll reply to you if I can.
Thank you for your interest.
