You are the man. I wish you were my neighbor.
When it was broken it ceased to be a guitar. You made it sing again. I’m impressed! Great work!
Phenomenal job Big D. Well done. I remember seeing this at the outset and thinking, no chance.... I was very wrong. Hugely impressive
thank you
The amount of work that went into this is just mind blowing. Lots of thinking outside of the box too which is just priceless content to put out there for everyone, well done!
thanks!
Dude, that routing jig you made for the back of the neck was insane. Great work, man, you just made that a better guitar than it was before. That neck is absolutely gorgeous.
thanks buddy!
Seeing this video gives me cold chills. I have one of these that I bought new in 1980 and have owned it for 44 years.
"I am amazed at the level of skill that you have in repairing this work of art, a Gibson Les Paul 25/50 Custom guitar!"
While I was watching this video I kept saying "wow!... wow!...'. What you did to make the repair was amazing! You should feel very proud of what you accomplished.
This guy is a woodworking genius hands down!!!
thank you!
If there is something nicer than play guitar, is to play a broken guitar that fixed yourself. Congrats dude, that's some flawless work!!
You truly are a straight up Professional , I’ve only heard of luthiers like you man..great work! GOAT status!
Jawdropping work. I was sort of laughing at the fact that you have so many crazy tools but a pair of scissors does the trick to get the post out. I would do the same! Amazing restoration.
Im a drummer. But my grandad played a Les Paul Custom. This touched my heart.
Came for the resto, stayed for the music. Nice neck work man.
Fret-over-binding is the way to go. It's more playable than the standard Gibson installation practice.
Sincerely hope you get a dedicated workshop. The calibre of your work demands it.
You do beautiful 😍 work 🎸 my friend! I can tell you're VERY passionate about your work too! Bringing that gibson back to life!
Keep it up! 🤘🤘👍
Wow, I just play them. You have a LOT of skill at this dude. GREAT job and nice video.
Man, it's not just repair, it's god damn restoration, completely another level of skills or craftsmanship, whatever you call it. Some dudes just say: nah, it's beyond repair, i'll buy/make new one... But this one was something different))). You save this guitar and it's still the same guitar)))). Almost ;)
wow, you did woodwork I did not know was possible. like grafting a neck back together into one cohesive piece. so much work.
I hope the owner of this guitar understands what just happened here... you brought this guitar back to life! Great work man!
It's like watching a wizard at work. Amazing stuff.
The all-in-one vid is a great addition. It was a marathon timeline getting this big job done.
thank you
Fantastic refit Derek! Be proud of your work! It is fabulous!
The fact that almost of the imperfections you mentioned are tiny cosmetic concerns after the kind of work you had to do to this thing is nothing short of incredible
i'm exhausted just watching the video. great completion
You have came a helluva long way since Chicago,man.Congratulations on your persistence and success.
Keep up the fantastic work.
Good to see you have the tools and the PATIENCE! Beautiful.
Fantastic work, Derek!
Always jaw dropping skills, keeping a great guitar alive for many years, always worth the struggles, incredible.
Stunning work Sir!!! You are a true artist.
Excellent work!
What an outstanding repair and redo of this guitar and the video are awesome !
Super cool guitar to repair, you really did an amazing job. Thank you for sharing this.
Epic repair. Truly inspiring 🙏
awesome work, awesome backing tracks
Wow just wow. I'm speechless! Awesome!
That job is simply fantastic!!
Beautiful work man
Wow, that turned out incredible!
My hats off you brother. Great job on resurrecting the beauty! 💪🏻
Wow, that’s a fantastic job !! ✨👍
Nice job! Beautiful.
At this state you pretty much rebuilt the whole neck! Nicely done👍
Always impressive watching a craftsman at work.
Really nicely done!
The video I’ve been waiting to watch. Excited!
Masterful job! Wow!
I really congratulate your effort and persistence. You deserve an A plus+ score!!! 👍👍👏👏
I had a 25/50 once upon a time-only Les Paul I ever had. Alas, my fridge died at just the wrong time…. I recall that mine had darker wood along the outside two pieces of the neck, and the center piece was lighter and more curly. You flat-out missed on the inlay alignment, but so what. Great restoration overall. That was a real tough one, for sure!
You gave that Guitar a new life buddy. Much better than the state it arrived in.
You are a master of the jigs. Very clever
My ‘77 Les Paul Deluxe has maple veneer under the maple top like that as well. Apparently very common. I didn’t know it for years until someone said a lot of Les Pauls from then had that, and took a look for myself.
Really great repair. One heck of a lot of work. Like the idea of fretting it without the nibs. Nibs are cool, but I like the extra playing surface of overhanging the fret end on the binding. Gonna have whoever I find to refret mine do the same.
Beautiful work, sir. I’ve watched a bunch of your vids and you always impress. I’m inspired to begin working on some guitars of my own that have needed repairs for many years. When I screw them up, I’ll reach out to you to fix my mistakes. Lol
EPIC! VERY IMPRESSIVE WORK!
The amount of work and time it took you to resurrect that guitar is mind blowing. You are incredibly honest in your critique, but I think that’s what has made you a craftsman. You should be proud.
thank you!
Wonderful job.
Stellar Repair! 👍🤘🏼
I wish I paid more attention in woodwork class, that was outstanding, brilliant job 👍👍
haha
Really good job! It's so painful to see that previous repairs can cause more harm if done wrong. Sadly I face this regularly. I'm partially cleaning up previous repairs before actually starting the repair or restoring.
What fantastic job wow
So impressed with all the made jigs to do the work and the skill too pal 👍🏻👏🏻
Nice job! I didn’t realize you had such good guitar chops! Love the T-shirt!
Amazing job
The knowledge & skill displayed here is unreal. I can’t imagine the cost for a repair of this magnitude and craftsmanship.
Everything looks great!!!
That was a job very well done!
Truly an astonishing piece of work Derek.
thank you
Dude, this came out beautifully. I've never seen a bridge like that and I am all sorts of intrigued by it.
Damn, that was impressive! Very nice.
amazing job man !!! you are a magician 🤤
Great work- beautiful sounding guitar with a real history...it's a survivor!
thank you!!!
Amazing❣️Good Job❣️
This man can literally make a brand new high end Guitar of his own.... This very repairing process is a lot difficult than making a new one....
yes so much harer
Pretty amazing. You really did give this babe a second life !
Nice work
I do custom gunstock work and build modern reproductions of flintlock rifles. Let me say you have made some very difficult jobs look easy. well done.
Killer work and jigs for days!
Beautiful!
I had one of those guitars they are beautiful and play awesome!!! Good job!!!
Magic! Miracle hands!
What a rebuild!!! amazing!!!
thank you
That repair is damn immaculate! Very impressive work.
thank you
That's an incredible job, congrats!
thank you
Great T-Shirt ! Thanks for support
Saw you on reddit, I'm digging the content. You do great work and it shows.
thank you!
Que trabalho incrível 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Incredible Job.. Wish i had the patience and knowhow for this type of work ...
Well done.
That was amazing.
I had one of these for 15 years and sold it. It was in immaculate shape for its age. The pickups were beyond hot. I had to replace a tuner that got broken. Was lucky to find another one that was of the same vintage. The tuners were only made for that guitar.
Sad to see this one so broke, but really great job fixing it!!! Really great job.
thank you
nice work ,,,, awesome
You'r a true magician brother....
What a craftsman!
Great work. You are an official artist with a capital A.🇬🇧
I find this utterly terrifying! You sir have balls of STEEL!
Dude that restoration is insane... Especially the neck!!! Wow. Take a bow!!
thank you!
Looks great. Quite a restore.
Thanks!
Amazing repair! There are fantastic craftsman in this country.The repair had to cost more than the purchase price! 😊
Cool job.
