HOW TO REFINISH A GUITAR. Stefanie Burst refin. Part #1

This time I decided to repaint my working guitar Stephanie Burst... for the third time. She has an interesting history and there are flaws that I want to correct. And of course it will be a relic, during which I will come up with a couple of new ways of aging.

Thank you

Greetings from Brasil. Awesome video and keep the good content, love all your projects. Really beautiful finish. By the way... have you ever considered making a project of a Les paul custom ? Perhaps... 50's black beauty... or even 70's alpine White ???

[@8BombCustom]

Vashchenko refuses to do a five-layer binding, although I offered him several such projects 😁. But I'm focused on my clones 59, 54 and the ES-335.

Man. I love your work the detail and love you put into your work is amazing. You have great talent in a ball point estimate how much would a 59 cost me with a honey type finish. Thank you.

благодаря отчасти тебе я начал погружаться в тему винтажных гитар, и, хотя держусь концепции "играет хорошо - пиши музыку и ничего больше тебе не надо", такие видео греют душу. хотя, я сам с прибабахом, мог взять рандомную палку, а душа просила лес пол. есть во мне желание бОльшего, и я совершенно не жалею, что купил два года назад студио 2016 года. пришлось много поковыряться и сходить к мастеру, но я уверен, что таких чувств мне другая гитара не даст. пробовал у друга традишнл (традишнл хай-перфоманс, сюрреализм), и моя мне нравится больше, хотя выглядит намного проще - обычный кусок белого шоколада, была капризная, пришлось приручать :D но звук - мое почтение. сустейн для гипса слабоват, и в целом в гитаре огромное количество американской небрежности, но играется как по маслу. я даже в последнее время стал любителем реликов. ну, правда, естественных, не вручную красиво испорченных, а годами игры и концертов) хотя с моей акууратностью это долго времени не займет) спасибо за видео, приятное, вайбовое, кто досюда дочитал - совет: берите гитару сердцем, гитару нужно хотеть 😎

[@8BombCustom]

Спасибо!

[@doc_matter]

So fascinated with your channel, considering refinishing mine, What bridge and tail piece model do suggest for burst tone? Sdpickups if you know them suggests faber/kluson

[@8BombCustom]

Thank you. I prefer Kluson talepiece and Kluson or Faber bridge.

[@lok1214]

Greetings from Hong Kong...Awesone works...I would like to ask what kind of chemical liquids that u used to remove the finishing??Thx...

[@8BombCustom]

Hi. Thank you. I use acetone

[@mottosierra1372]

I like your videos ! Has the color of an epiphone ever changed? I have a Korean epiphone and I have always wanted to change the burts color, do you think it can be done?

[@8BombCustom]

Epifon does not change colors because the dyes are lightfast. The color can only be changed by a complete repaint.

[@rogeriocosta1035]

Very beautiful work! I'm new on the channel. What is the deal with the Gibson logo? The clone thing has started with the logo and you decided to not use them anymore?

[@8BombCustom]

If a Gibson logo is made on such a guitar, then this is counterfeit and someone can pass off such a guitar as an original vintage copy. Unfortunately, even experienced collectors are deceived in this way.

[@rogeriocosta1035]

@@8BombCustom I know that you don't want to make counterfeits, but it had a Gibson logo before you started to work on it? That part that I did not understand.

[@rogeriocosta1035]

@@8BombCustom By the way, may it would be better to change all the veneer on the head or sand a little bit to add a thin veneer over it. The wood insert contour will probably show on the surface over the years.

[@8BombCustom]

Yes, you are right. This looks strange. 😊But I will explain. Since this guitar was originally made to order by Vashchenko, and 90% of customers want the Gibson logo. Valery still does it. I have a different point of view on this issue. Initially, I wanted to replace the entire veneer, but then I thought that if the guitar sounds good in its original form, then it is better not to interfere and leave the wood in place. Therefore, I decided only on minimal intervention in the wooden structure.

[@rogeriocosta1035]

@@8BombCustom Oh, It is clear now. Thx! Think about the thin veneer solution. It will look strange if the gibson logo contour starts to show in the surface. Another solution could be opening a little larger pocket for the wood insert (maybe oval or in the contour of your logo), so if it starts to show (pretty sure it will), the look will not be strange.

[@Babesyann]

Hi Sugar, I would like to know the reason why the saddles are in slant position? is there a change in tone when you rout it straight?

[@8BombCustom]

Thank you. This position depends on the scale setting. It affects the sound very little.

[@Babesyann]

@@8BombCustom thanks man

[@richardalvarez4580]

How did you get that beautiful red on the back of the guitar?

[@8BombCustom]

Mixing colors and predicting how color will change over time is my superpower 😉 But, seriously, this is just 25 years of work with the painting and restoration of frescoes and icons.

[@johnwhitaker545]

Fucking amazing!

[@8BombCustom]

Thank you 😁

[@douglasalexander4348]

How did you stop the binding melting when using the stripper ?

[@8BombCustom]

I just work carefully and don't let it soften so much that it floats.

[@jyangyang]

Will it be any chance to do a “high gloss finish to Vos gloss finsih “ ish video?

[@8BombCustom]

This step will be in the next part.

[@6xcchamber971]

What are you using for grain filler? B

[@8BombCustom]

I make my own filler.

[@phatfil77]

So there is a veneer on the headstock that is actually made of wood from a holly tree?

[@8BombCustom]

Yes. Exactly. Holly has a very even and smooth texture. Very wet density and elasticity. This veneer protects and strengthens the head from breaking, as the mahogany fibers on the head are at an angle and cannot effectively hold the string tension on their own. The glued "ears" on the sides of the headstock perform the same function.

[@danielcook3361]

Are you still in contact with the owner of Sofie Burst? Does it still exist and are there any videos on KZbin of it?

[@8BombCustom]

Yes, we text sometimes. But I have not seen more videos with Sophie.

[@johnlloyd9613]

The acetone doesn’t hurt the binding?

[@8BombCustom]

Yes and no

[@blackysalamanka]

Good work, but the original color was the best in my opinion.

Nice work, but... are you taking Gibson's, chopping out their logo and putting your logo in it's place? How has Gibson not sued you yet? They have started lawsuits for less.
