CUSTOM SHOP from a thrifted SG! PT1 Home Stretch!

[@vontinkles]

I'm glad you just refinished it and didn't resort to using that box of explosives in your living room. 💣🐢💥

[@breilly66]

Lol, well... some hobbies don't mix!

[@ramsilva]

This turned out gorgeous. Interested to know which products you used for that Polaris white sparkle. I saw your instagram post where you’re wailing on this thing and I was instantly wondering over by this finish. Loved the green from before but this looks more refined.

[@breilly66]

Cheers R! Will update in description as I totally forgot about that! The green could have been spectacular. I guess I'm gonna have to try that hue again when something properly weird comes across the block. Holy cow tho dude..... in-between the rain and temp drops..... I was staring at it waiting for checking. Lol

[@uncleremus64]

B, with those locking tuners you don't even have to wind the string around the post. Open the lock, insert string, pull string and tune with very few turns.

[@breilly66]

Absolutely. I over wound them and then stared at it for a min like.... "yeaa that isn't necessary" lol

[@leeasbury7273]

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Makes me want to do something with my Inverness Green Epiphone SG Classic

[@breilly66]

Yes! My evil plan is working! Thanks Lee! Is that the one with the p90s as well?

[@leeasbury7273]

Yes. They sound great too! I have a set of Lollars lying around but the stock P90's are making me happy for now.

[@breilly66]

Love that model. The best part is the pickup placement. An absolute dimensional twin of the 1965 Special. Pickguard and horns an exact match. 65 style Only the top bevel is slightly higher. Gibsons own p90 special doesn't have the correct spacing. Epiphone pushed the bridge pickup into the perfect place. Those will just get better and better.

[@gishuk]

I loved the green but I think it was the right call to redo it. Looks awesome

[@breilly66]

Thanks G. 😊 Yea, the open feel of the finish, not stable enough. That green done well though would be something worth seeing.

[@brywestwhit]

I think you made the right choice. Love the details you added with the diamond on the neck and the lighting bolt. Great job!

[@breilly66]

Cheers Bry! Appreciate you! Hope your weeks been good! Was worried the details might be a bit much, but I think it's coming around!

[@jltrem]

The next big question...what style and color knobs??

[@breilly66]

Serious. To business...... could do a silver? Black knobs seem too much a path well walked.

[@jltrem]

@@breilly66 I'd go gold bell/top hat, non-reflector type.

[@bobbylee4431]

I think it’s looking great and the colour suits the guitar a lot. Enjoyed following along thanks.

[@breilly66]

Cheers BobbyLee! Very welcome!

[@jfiery]

I enjoy your playing each episode but this was one of those that it was even more amazing to me. Perfect tone, just beautiful. It was crazy to see some videos of you playing bass in your old band. The difference between the manic style of that to the 60s groove of this is crazy. I'd have refinished it too. Love the white. Also love the touch of the fuze ignitor crate at the end. Handled my fair share if those crates while doing EOD work.

[@breilly66]

Thank you J! Yea some of those shows were pretty energetic and we had a good time. Hopefully I'll be doing more original stuff again sooner than later. Holy hell though.... EOD, you must have nerves of steel. I've seen crazy. I taught 8th graders. But never had the kind of reserve it takes to handle that kind of proper explosivity. Appreciate you J! Have a beautiful Sunday!

[@uncleremus64]

Love it, B. Looks amazing. Sounds just as good.

[@breilly66]

Cheers and appreciated! Hope your day is a good one, U!

[@tjchad1]

And more rain due tomorrow night- for the next whole week!😳

[@breilly66]

Dude! I checked the weather this morning and they basically said to buy a gd canoe. Lol

[@christophcarle]

Good decision, looks great! Sometimes you just have to stop and start from scratch again, nothing bad about that. 👍 PS: Take your time with the videos, no need to hurry or getting stressed.

[@breilly66]

Thanks for that C. Very much so. There's that New York part of me that still thinks we're on a schedule in life. Old habits you know. Appreciate you!

[@christophcarle]

@@breilly66Hey there! You're alright? Haven't heard for a while😉

[@breilly66]

@christophcarle On my way back. :)

[@marknielson2099]

Not bad !

[@breilly66]

Thank ya Sir!

[@necrosismusik7109]

very cool

[@breilly66]

🙌

[@Livelaughlimpbizkit]

Looks incredible man, I loved the green sparkle but this looks just as good. I've never seen a vibriola actually able to be used before. Curious as to what it'll sell for considering it has a cracked neck (not that I'd care) but I know it affects price.

[@breilly66]

Greatly appreciated! Yea the long and short vibrolas always came off almost ornamental to me. But once I started using the one on John Monroe (the 65), I absolutely fell in love with the design.

[@FIGGY65]

VERY nice makeover my friend! Do you know what this modded guitar weighs as she sits?

[@breilly66]

7.3 pound! Appreciated!

[@FIGGY65]

Thank you B !!!

[@jonboy8181]

I look of the locking tuners threw me off a bit. Everything else looks fantastic!

[@breilly66]

It is a bit of a switch. Personally I prefer the 3 inline white button stock units from the 60s. Good alloy, tolerances tight and nearly no backlash in the gearing

[@samajier2566]

Like guitar

[@breilly66]

Appreciate you 🙏

[@josephr9930]

Looks amazing! 💯👍

[@breilly66]

Thanks big brother! Ain't gonna lie. That green was a heartbreaker, watching it go south.

[@bgarrison67]

Looked better original. What can I say...I'm old and scarred

[@breilly66]

Fair enough.
