1970's Gibson Style Custom Build SG Husk Restoration Project

Looks pretty damn good

[@neilssterling5122]

I've always wanted an SG but didn't quite have an image of what i really wanted until i saw this guitar. It looks awesome. Too bad the bridge was installed the wrong way.

[@boechlerguitarsandrepair]

Stayed tuned, it will be fixed soon! I really like the way it looks too

[@rocklives8251]

I've seen "Does it Doom" post a bridge with a much wider range. I had a guitar that i used a different Guage string on the G string to get intonation right

[@boechlerguitarsandrepair]

Hipshot tone-o-matic I think it was. Ill look into that, thanks

[@josephrodriguez2764]

Wow😮 awesome job brother!

[@izzysantiago978]

Next time use a reamer tool or stepbit to enlarge potentiometer holes.

If you need a tip to get the studs out. Heat them up with your soldering iron. Then pull them out. Will take some doing but should work

I dig it. it's pretty cool as an og piece -- too bad about the extra work on the bridge - if they messed up on the bridge placement make sure you check the fret placement --- the inlays are not bad -- kind of different --- a little busy but unique and they are already there --- to take it to the next level a really black fretboard with dots and SS and more gloss on the body. Because it's custom, instead of plugging and fussing with a match you could inlay a rectangle of some black wood and make it a feature -- or get fancy and put some kind of metal or other wood border around the rectangle.....

Heat those studs with a soldering iron then screw a very long bolt in all the way until it bottoms out pushing the old stud out.

[@denro0]

Very Cool.

I have seen that neck joint on 70's Japanese guitars, I think maybe Greco, Could be a 70's lawsuit job?

[@sjk254]

Damn nice.

[@jimslattery4231]

Use a reimer instead of drill. Slower more controllable than the drill.

[@71tbomb]

I've also seen people use masking tape over the hole to stop blow outs.

[@frankiewalnuts]

Easy way to remove inserts is to screw in a long bolt that hits the wood inside and then pushes the insert out as you screw it in more

[@skullheadwater9839]

Don't you think you could just plug the top bridge post and rotate it back and drill/plug just one?

[@boechlerguitarsandrepair]

That might do it. Im also looking at a hipshot tone-o-matic bridge with a wider intonation range that might work

[@thevoxofreason8468]

I was looking at the bridge angle from the beginning and was thinking that something didn't look right.

[@ofershragay]

Isn't it redwood top?

[@boechlerguitarsandrepair]

Could be! Im not 100% on what type of wood it is

[@ofershragay]

@@boechlerguitarsandrepair maybe it's too late but, you could install wraparound bridge and drill only once
