Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 сер 2024
- Well, that was a whole lot of work, but I hope you agree it was worth it! In this video we do a final assembly of the SG including cutting the nut, and winding the pickups.
We then do "The Big Reveal" including some sound clips of the guitar with the T-top style hand wound pickups with coil splits.
Thanks so much for supporting me with the first of many video series for this channel. Your subscription means everything as it will allow me to continue creating content like this.
Just saw five more parts to this .,caught last two..we'll be watching them as this guitar is a beauty....👍
Haha yeah - being succinct has never been one of my qualities! Glad you’re enjoying them. Thanks for watching :)
My second time watching the whole series. I would still buy it. Great work.
this is great!, i like how you actually show the prosses... you showed me a lot of things ive been doing wrong
Thanks very much! There are loads of different but equally valid approaches to these things but I’m honoured that you’ve learned something from my videos. Stay tuned for my next video where I strip a Strat using a belt sander…
@@BeardsworthGuitars sweet!
Looks great!
Thanks!
amazing work !
Thanks very much for your support! More to come :)
Job well done mate. Superb restoration!
Thanks very much for your support! More to come :)
Top Man ! and Bob's you're Uncle !
I watched every episode you made and enjoyed every second of it. Being left handed and a proud owner of a '61 reissue SG, I would have been honored to have purchased this from you. But I already saw where you sold it. You did an amazing job and got that deep dark red that I like on a SG, I love Angus Young's deep red/brown color and this is just one step up from that. Amazing work Sir and thank you for such a wonderful video series on this little SG.
Thanks so much for your kind words and sorry for selling it before you had a chance to make an offer - I was a bit slack on editing the videos! Agree on the colour - I’d really love to move past Cherry Red SGs, and sunburst Strats but I’m just too much of a traditionalist!
Right hand nut on left hand guitar 😂
😳 Some quiet words were had with myself
I realised when you were stringing the guitar.
I believe the neck pickup is upside down at 16:52.
Hah yep - well spotted! Not sure whether I installed it upside down before or after cutting the nut right handed but I was obviously having an off day! You’ll see the pickup orientation is corrected later on. Thanks for watching :)
i watched all 7 videos these are some of the best resto jobs i have ever seen here on you tube excellent work keep up the good work and i do agree it was worth watching all 7 videos that sg looks beautiful
Wow, thanks very much for the kind words and support! I’ve just uploaded the first of a shorter series restoring a badly relic’d Strat. Hope it lives up to expectation!
Excellent result. Thank you for the series, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks for being with me from the beginning and patiently waiting for me to edit and upload the videos! Very much appreciated
9:43 D'oh!!
I said words to that effect when I realised my blunder…
Great Work!!! Thanks.
Thanks for your kind words and support! :)
Amazing job, well done. I know you cant give customer information, but generally speaking, what would a refurb job like this usually cost please?
Thanks very much for your kind words. At the moment I’m focusing on buying, restoring and selling guitars rather than doing customer repairs, but you’d be looking at around (Australian $) $400 for a refret, $600 for a full body re-finish,on $200 for the headstock repair and maybe $400 for the pickups. So more than the guitar is worth! But we do this for love not money, right?!
Why don't you level the frets before finishing? A lot less risk that way I would think
That would make sense in theory but unfinished wood is more prone to movement so you’re best off making the guitar stable by sealing it with finish, and preventing large changes to moisture content before levelling the frets.
Shielding is not necessary
