How To Do a Finish Chip Repair: Gibson Les Paul Jr.

[@MartinLlano-n5h]

I enjoy watching your videos. Came across your channel when I was in a motorcycle accident and a work related one back to back. You helped me in my dark time thank you

[@wilrockq1065]

That looks fantastic. I cannot tell and wouldn’t even notice it if you didn’t mention it. Nice work. And, yes, I’d pay for that.

Pretty neat job, Nelson. Well done, sir.

[@PaulLue]

Nice work! Good to hear you playing it after the repair.

[@dananthony6258]

That’s awesome. Great job man.

[@Rate_My_Raw]

Shocked at the outcome, nicely done man!

[@johnstiteler4088]

Nice work. Good to see you're still making vids, too.

[@replicant8532]

Hey Nelson, kickass playing. I have Jackson DKMG my mom bought me back in 2005. I wish I was in Canada so I could ship it to you for repairs, my kids dinked the guitar in couple of places. Good job.

[@roberteasleysr9108]

Nicely done . Looks great !

[@jvader79]

Nice job!! Love the Gibson Jrs!

[@adamr2684]

Great job! You have great patience! I’d pay for that.

[@malcolmgibbs-e5c]

brilliant job, great to see great content as ever

Dude that's not too bad a repair at all. Those dings on the edge are the hardest ones to repair.

[@philbarrows424]

Do you utilize glu-boost products? I think they are more suited for this type of edge repair. Comes in colors, and can also be tinted for a more invisible repair

[@BadMotivator66]

i've used nail varnish and clear hardcoat. as long as you don't add too much it settles down and cures reasonably flat. if it's not quite level, you can add a little more clear and you're normally there :) although this was only on poly finish guitars. it's disguised the ding adequately and make it a smooth-to-touch finish rather than a sharp edge.

[@hhnry7929]

I’d just leave it like that , slowly but surely builds character

@0:44 oxford Tobacco brown nitrocellulose Lacquer 1:37 paint repair 2:52 fill cavity with superglue 2:59 sanding 4:04 tobacco brown 4:37 sanding 4:38 polish I am wondering WHAT SANDERS YOU USED ?I am here because someone knocked my ukulele off a table on the floor, it is ok. Noticed a little chip in it. Trying to figure how to repair. I found a burnt sienna crayon that looks same color and covered it, yet may be a better way. I like your guitar playing in end.

[@galattichighlender2096]

question, how should I do this if my guitar finish is satin red?

[@sneifert1968]

I had my Strat with a similar ding repaired by drop filling colored lacquer into the damaged area. Problem with this type of damage, is there can be damage under the finish around the visible damage. Takes a ton of patience and as many drops of lacquer, but the finished product is 99% invisible.( If you didn’t know it was there, you’d never know.)

[@davetighe]

Great job, sounds way better now it's been repaired 😉👍✌️

[@davemangamer7365]

Hey Nelson, are you still alive dude no videos for six months

[@davetighe]

Seriously though I Love the video good job. I've got a problem with a 60's Gibson J45 that a previous owner drilled 2 holes fitting a strap button directly into the body through the sidewall 🤢 so there's the screw holes and a nasty ring around it to deal with. Any ideas

[@Jansmit23]

Nice and guitar playing is inproved 😊👍

[@rideough]

I love how huge that Jr always sounds.

[@Vanjio]

wow! Nice work

[@jimc3516]

Any chance you might pretend we aren't your great grand-kids pooky bear? I lasted 45 seconds before I had to mute you.

[@ollyjackson8733]

0.19...he only lasted 45 seconds before muting his grandkid by the sounds of it

[@13druber]

Great job!

[@avenue6.554]

Nice work.

[@strategicthinker8899]

"Heloooo, I'm Nelson and I'm a guitar persooon. Shred, shreeed."

[@stevejoyce3151]

great job

[@13druber]

We need new vids!

[@mts982]

why no vids in 5 months?

[@ollyjackson8733]

How are there no comments about 0:19? Definitely listening to too much kill Tony.

[@telecatsermaster]

Wow…. Still making videos….

[@jmch6359]

Looks good to me.

[@reedhead1]

You didn't want the "Relic" thing? people pay money for that kind of finish.....(not me)

[@minigmac1]

Why not tell us 1) what grit sanding sticks you are using AS YOU USE THEM?! Frustrating!

[@marcusvideo3533]

Better fix the constant repeating yourself

[@justtinkering6713]

Been watching your videos. My opinion is you are destroying all the guitars you touch and modify. Their value on the collectors market will be greatly reduced.

[@philbarrows424]

How so?

[@justtinkering6713]

@philbarrows424 Are you stupid? Original is worth much more money.

[@justtinkering6713]

Ask any collectables appraiser, if you modify it from the original, you lose $$$

[@jesterjigs9914]

You don't
