Of all of the guitar-shop-repair-setup channels, this one has taught me far more than any other.

[@rogercardenas111]

That's a nice looking gold top Les Paul with mini humbuckers. The owner of that guitar is one lucky Canadian.

[@tomkirk6942]

Stephen Docherty Yer last name is missing a U after the O. DOUCHErty. Cheers asshole.

[@MarkTurner-vs7uc]

Those are so underrated, but still expensive.

[@rkb4444]

I can't help myself, I love watching Dave work.

[@chuckquinn8026]

Just gonna have a good look at it with my EYE...you’re killing me Dave!

[@jimpatrick6102]

Happy Canada 🍁 day to all of you from Jim and my 4 kids in the UK. Hope you all bbq like good old dave. ITS 37 years to the day that you all celebrated independence from us over the pond. You still rock more then your..... 😷 In the USA.... Need I say more... God bless Canada and... Daves basement /man cave/ den of disentanglement.

[@joemcgraw5529]

dont even go there man ,how ya like the muslim invasion pretty sick isnt it ?

[@PiraticalBob]

LOL at wearing a Fender t-shirt while working on a Gibson. :)

[@jcastle123]

you are the Bob Ross of guitar repair videos

[@SixSixthSix]

That's one nice looking guitar you're working on Davey!

[@Jkautsky]

This guitar used to belong to Keith Richards. He took off the 6th tuner because he just used it in five string open G tuning. :D

[@gb5uq]

Beautiful guitar, looks just like the one Steve Bolton played with Atomic Rooster around 71/72. You truly did it justice Dave.

[@johnvenditto2908]

Great instructional vid on how to set up a LP from scratch. Even greater ending!

[@MrGavinspoppop]

B4 I retired I never touch anything on my guitar except the strings ... now I'm having fun taking things apart and seeing what's up. Happy 4th Dave !!!!!!

[@ricklogan3328]

Great job Dave as always! Thank You...

[@jspanos500]

What a beauty! I think my dream Les Paul is a gold top deluxe.

[@icurt06]

I love the intermission song. I sang it to the wife today and she looked at me like I had lost my mind! LOL

[@TheFULLMETALCHEF]

KZbin alerts me that I have 36 videos to watch today. This is number one.

[@johnnygonzales3211]

Thanks we get a double feature tonight thanks Dave and take care😜

[@wmralder]

I love those tuners. I put them on my LP Studio and added tulip buttons.

[@BenCoombs]

My first electric guitar was a 1972 Les Paul Deluxe in Tobacco burst, miss it. Happy Canada Day Dave cheers!!

[@sonnyevans5686]

Very Lucky that’s a good first guitar 🎸

[@TheHumbuckerboy]

What happened that you don't have it now ?

[@BenCoombs]

@@TheHumbuckerboy I sold it in 1992.

[@TheHumbuckerboy]

@@BenCoombs I have always liked the Deluxe ; I would also miss it if I had sold one.

[@stevebrighttheblackguitar653]

Happy Canada Day! Gee Dave it’s great hangin’ out with you and learning in a very fun way! You’re the best!

[@michaelcross934]

I like the Grover minis on my LP flattop, too! They are just the right size.... Cheers, Mike

[@vince_vatican777]

That was a great episode Dave!

[@MrJam1001]

I'm almost sure I saw a band called the killer dwarfs way up in Sudbury back in the late 80's and they were really good!

[@rubentrevino6288]

Nice job mate

[@SeanKerns]

Love those easy lock Grovers. I have them on a couple of different axes.

[@averagegearreviews4109]

You could get more mileage from the string sandpaper if you hold the loose end with pliers and just hold the roll in the other hand. Then when done, you just cut behind the used section and you save 2 inches. Hope this helps, really like the info you provide.

[@LexTreefrog]

This one is especially informative.

[@bobman4294]

Awesome vid as always dave keep on trucking my good man 👌🏻

[@orionfixr7713]

Man o man !! You were in rare form today !! Good to see ya in a great mood . Have a good Canada Day !

[@jamesflack8624]

Davey : Glad to "see" you've retained your sense of the sardonic. Luv you like a Brutha, M'Brutha. Happy Bar B Que'n..

[@danny1959]

Happy Canada Day to you and all your countrymen, Dave!

[@j_freed]

Deluxe job there, Dave!

[@reijerlincoln]

Norlin goodness! Nice lacquer checking.

[@jomomma8291]

Love you, love your show Dave! I play a 73 Les Paul Deluxe myself.

[@MichaelDonlinAwesome]

You don't need to be told Dave, but you're a cool guy. Thanks for sharing the guitar brains and stories. #sendthemanasandwich

[@kurtragucci5092]

Iv'e decided to adopt you as my Uncle Dave. Don't worry Uncle Dave, you don't have to send me birthday cards or take me to the football. I'll love you anyway. Thank you Uncle Dave x

Happy Canada Day Dave!

Les Paul Deluxes are super guitars

[@chisbang53]

Oh Canada! Thanks Dave.

[@donaldholman9070]

Great job!

[@poodlenme]

Great repair. Happy Canada day Dave!

[@sparkyguitar0058]

I upgraded everything that would be better on my Studio. Pick-ups/ 496-500,pots CTS 550k, caps orange drop .010's, Tonepro locking bridge,alum tailpiece, Kluson locking tuners and Tusc XL nut. Should be good for wk or 2

[@RikJSmith]

LoL !! I did the same stuff with my Studio Lite ! Stay safe Dude 🎸

[@sparkyguitar0058]

@@RikJSmith Do you ever care that you hurt the actual value of a Studio lite by replacing pieces? After I did this I found out about a 97 special edition of my ebony with gold trim ebony fretboard Studio that came with some humbucker sized P90's and special stickers stating some anniversary model. I don't think that's what mine was but don't really know. It's been too used for too long to care about originality.

[@theguitargeezer878]

I don't like seeing my favorite Les Paul the Iconic GoldTop in that condition, glad you returned it to life. :)

[@ghoulbirth705]

love mini-buckers

[@Jah_Rastafari_ORIG]

You evidently have the same nighttime birds as we do here in Iowa... (@ aboot 1:50...)

[@stevenkimsey7039]

Looks like a great Atlanta Rhythm Section or .38 Special guitar

[@MetalHeadHippie]

nice work dave.

[@roberteasleysr9108]

Happy Canada day Dave !!! Have two sandwiches , enjoy !!!

[@RikJSmith]

Hi Dave . Hope you're doing well . I realize this Video is quite old , but I'm hoping you might see this question ; When positioning the Bridge , do the screws to set Intonation always face the Pickups ? I hope everyone is safe with all we're dealing with now in February 2023 . 🎸

[@DavesWorldofFunStuff]

no rules just guidelines

[@MikeGervasi]

Nice guitar and great job.

[@w13rdguy]

Happy Canada Day from Georgia, y'all!

[@BuzzcutGtr]

Happy birthday, Russ! Happy Canada Day to my northern friends. Oh, and nice work there, Dave - glad you've made such a quick recovery!

[@stevenolsen3162]

My first guitar...

[@maryarlenebasker1502]

You certainly know your shit Dave....do not think there is not any guitar you cannot fix and do a fine job !!

[@johnniedelong9322]

That bomb at the start gave my cheap speakers the "Kiss of Death".

[@eddiejr540]

"Play authentic" ....Gibson never tells ya it's "repair authentic"....those Gibsons will work your ass off!!!!....great work brother Dave!!!!

[@rjmcmooseknuckle]

Happy Canada Day dave!!!

[@jimgraves4197]

Happy Canada Day, Dave.

[@JCTrucks410]

That's just like the first gibson i ever played except it was a burst

[@j_freed]

I accept!

[@j_freed]

I accept!

[@leonthompson8988]

The l.p. that didn't sound like an l.p. but more of Gibson sounding like a tele. They were popular amongst country rockers in the 70s. Most were routed for full size humbuckers

[@holmes1978]

Very Fascinating I think if you added a “Historic Toggle Switch Cap “ it would look so much Cooler !!! Pease Respect .

[@danoconnor618]

happy canada man.

[@donhughes2591]

I don't recall you doing the Intonation Dave? I have the same bridge on a 335 and struggle to get enough travel on the saddles E A D strings. I have all the saddles facing to the neck? Thinking about the Nashville bridge if it will fit the 4mm Posts? It does mean filling the post holes and drill them for the new bushings? Hum

[@nerfnerfification]

Thanks Dave for showing us one of your little vices - the grooving of the bridge; LOL. Seriously though how about threadlock sauce for the screw in bridge poles you used CA glue on? the advantage is the poles should come out with just the thumbwheels together on the one but still not wiggle. Cheers.

[@TheHumbuckerboy]

I thought that you were going to play the song 'Canada' by Pilot

[@xjohn1970]

so glad Gibson got rid of these small threaded post for bridge support. new ones get nice metal thread support. pretty much a guitar standard now for these style bridges.

[@kongandbasses8732]

Oh Canada! Have a blast.

[@dorfsteen]

Gave I hope you do a video on the Les Paul junior you showed yesterday cuz I own the exact guitar I don't know if it's an Apple phone or a Gibson but I love that guitar and I'd love to see you work on it they are cool little guitars my words very well and I love the sound of it too like I said I've only been playing for 9 months but I was watching a video of a guy teaching some blue stuff and then there was a backing track at the end of the video to play to and I played to it a couple times and it sounds so good I recorded it I wish there was a way to send it to you the recording cuz it came out pretty goddamn good I impressed the shit out of myself I was in the zone dude it sounds real good i let my friend here it hes like Johnny Ray Vaughan that's what he called me joking around cuz my name is John I let my daughter and my daughter's mother listen to it they loved it my grandchildren loved it I had to let everybody hear it you know I'm on my way bro an old man teaching himself to play guitar and I'm progressing very well and loving it anyway if you still have that Les Paul junior hopefully you make a video with it

[@MindsetMastery75]

Who tf is "Gave"?

I wish bone nuts came pre-cut and pre-shaped too. Good job.

[@bobby9727]

Happy Canada day to everyone. Cheers

[@seamanjive]

Nice work Dave. Question...Vintage Tele bridge has no slots...are they really necessary LP bridge?

[@Axess-sv8nq]

70's Les Pauls are the ones you want if you're looking to own a somewhat affordable one. It's less of a roll of the dice than anything from the 90's to (especially) present day. They still have serious QC issues - or at least that's what the guitar techs/repairers that I know have been telling me. I got to see a few of the ones they were talking about with the QC issues. It was disturbing. I became a guitarist BECAUSE OF Gibson. Sad to see the state they're in (and people making excuses for it).

[@StairwayToEvan92]

can we get dave to perform surgery and commentate the whole thing for us like this...

i have one of these in cherry sunburst. Early 70s. There's nothing "mini" about the sound of those pickups.

What kind of glue did you use on the tuner bridge and what would you use to break the bond on it if you had to do some other work to it later?Also what was your total work time sent on the guitar?Thanks for your time and effort.
