One thing about these transformations is you get to see the actual quality of the guitar build. You can't hide the bones on these restorations. Great work as always, my dude!!

[@fdfsdfsvsfgsg4888]

It's not a dude, it's a girl. And it's fake.

That was amazing the way you brought that guitar back from the dead

[@hijmestoffels5171]

As always, I like the demo the best. This demo shows how versatile the electric guitar is in the hands of an accomplished guitarist. I’m impressed.

[@exerminator2000]

Yeah, great variety of genres

[@3rdstone1]

Fernandes are such ridcoulusly great guitars (at least their Japaneze 80s-90s ones), so this one was definitely worth saving.

[@Achromatic_0]

seeing abandoned guitars, especially ones like this, really makes you wonder about the previous owner(s). like, how they were as a person, what kind of music the played, what kind of life they lived, etc.

[@jimcoppa6946]

I luv the restoration work. But there is a little part of me that appreciates the creativity that the previous player put into his tool. It tells a story. If that artist became someone the guitar would be in a museum and cherished. Guitar companies would be making signature series. It’s hard to tell if restoration is just setting it back to a stock(beautiful) guitar or is history of that musician’s journey is being erased…. Ready for its new user…

[@cbaten2]

Yep, I would guess the previous owner must have been a Green day fan... Looks strongly reminiscent to Bille Joe Armstrong's 'Blue', also a Fernandes...

[@Eduardot12345556]

If you look closely theres actually very little wear on the guitar, no rust in the bridge saddles and the frets were pretty ok. I think the previous owner never actually got serious about playing guitar and just messed around with the paint and stickers.

You can make a guitar your own, hell I do, but please don't let them fall into this level of disrepair

Well the painted hardware is what made it bad. Also the rough looking tape on the back of the neck would make it unplayable to me (I prefer a raw oiled neck).

[@ToxicSentinelTTV]

[@williamcummings6562]

I read all these comments and no one ever say anything about the way he just skips making the frets look good . Polishing doesn’t make them even or gets rid of string grooves. Any good luthier flattens then crowns , then polishes.

[@matthewdameron8746]

I have wondered the same thing. There's never any fret work or neck adjustments, even on guitars that look way worse than this one in his other videos.

[@MrBaldypete1]

I like the way you used a rag under your tool when you removed the pickup selector tip..... might as well have not bothered and made life easier when stripping it down!

[@Jesse-xi5tf]

I almost see the appeal of the splattered paint job with the stickers and all that but i personally like a nice guitar myself. I can't blame you for cleaning this up.

[@齋藤到]

ギターが喜んでますね。いい人の手に渡りましたね😊

[@stat1stick]

This looks like a Fernandes Dragonfly Elite from the 2000's. Amazing guitars. The sustainer is worth every penny.

[@RoboRocker69]

Great work, but I liked the way it looked before the restoration… it had character and looked pretty sharp

[@robertdouble559]

Me too. The green version was totally cool, the grey one...pretty meh. Says a lot that it's the green "before" version of guitar in the thumbnail that gets the clicks. The restored guitar would be totally ignored if it was used as the thumbnail image. Nice restoration work all the same. But also a total removal of personality and history of the guitar.

[@DerEchteBold]

@@robertdouble559 Yes, of course, they almost always look better before ...although, some people think this is kinda fake and he creates these himself before he starts cleaning, if that's true he does it the wrong way round ; )

When you put the springs in like that the two outside ones don’t hardly work because the have been made longer so only the middle one is working. Things you should know if you want to make people think you know what you’re doing.

[@RatzaChewy]

My Fernandez Gravity X bass from 2006/7 has exactly the same finish and it looks beautiful in stage lighting.

[@justadsa]

great transformation, such a beautiful guitar, and it sounds really good. i would have been nerves doing the pickups. dont let the fake hater's stop you from doing stuff like that. even if its staged, gives people inspiration to do stuff like this them selves, and not be afraid to do it them selves. keep up the great vids.

[@kenotani6813]

[@DJBuglip]

That was a very punk rock guitar in the beginning. I respect it, several bandmates have had similar. I like mine to stay looking new.

[@DJBuglip]

It looks like a wide, flat fretboard. I really like the way you play man, such a fretboard would be right at home with that classical technique.

[@ianyoung8392]

Seeing the original paint finish I can see why he painted it. A better idea would have been to give it a better finish similar to what he tried. So Jackson Pollack style splatter on a dip paint job. Or maybe laser etch a design on it before selling it on. Like the Millennium Falcon or something.

[@bluestang7571]

Somehow I like it more before the clean up, much more vibe and character😂

@@Robster-Craw I dunno about that, some of those stickers are ancient. That Shure sticker is from the 90s. The frets always seem to be in too good of condition though to me, so perhaps you are right.

This is one of the better sticker bombs I have seen. Lots of personality in that guitar. This might be the only restoration where I feel a little sad for the guitar; sometimes a good sticker is like a tattoo

i have an old Hondo II les paul that i got from a pawn shop for $60 many years ago. It was 'tampered with severely' and never playable..ive wanted to fix up for years (remove the paint, sand it, install new Everything, repaint, etc)...only obstacle i don't know how to tackle is the Binding! It is bound on both front and back and the neck, but in terrible condition. Im about ready to just say screw it and strip it all down and since i dont know anything about binding, just sanding off the edges where the binding would be.....would this be a bad idea? (especially the neck is where my main concern is) I dont mind making the body look a little 'rounder' than a traditional paul, but the neck/fingerboard might cause problems

[@combatrock]

As someone who grew up in a guitar shop I can tell your work is quality but I just dont know about turning a one of a kind custom art piece/personal statement back into vanilla bone stock, but thats just me. And Im really not a fan of Static X or Linkin Park lol

Well, except for the stickers i like the brush the guitar had, except i would not have sprayed all over the hardware and pickups, but other than that, it looked much more interesting imo than after the restauration.

Why haven’t you done a custom spay job on the acoustic guitar your playing in your photograph? It looks boring and generic.. like loads of other guitars…well, I would prefer it with a graffiti/punk spay job it doesn’t look very “interesting”…

@@johneeeemarry34 You are an electric guitarist, the guitar on my profile image is an acoustic guitar. Two different worlds. The guitar is not only any acoustic guitar but a replica of an extremely rare period guitar from Spain.

I think MusicYo used to sell Fernandes guitars pretty cheap. I wanted to get the Revolver with the sustainer but already had a Kramer Baretta with a sustainer.

Not good for the guitar to cut the strings like that when they are still wound up. Also you should have taped the cavities, not good to expose bare wood to chemicals. edit: oh dear lord you did it to the fretboard too!! Say a prayer it doesn´t make the frets loosen from the board!
