Some of the Greco guitars were really good... and the Burny Les Paul copies were awesome. Too many Americans sleep in how incredible most Japanese craftsmanship and woodworking actually is. Masterful work from the ground up.

[@mishame156]

this guitar was grounded so hard it was at home for 40 years

[@AdamMalster]

Resurrected a classic lawsuit guitar. Dude, your best job yet.

[@stevemonnot8218]

You have tremendous patience, and I appreciate you making these instruments beautiful again!

[@klausheinzler2036]

I cannot believe, when I see how musicians treasure their instruments. In fact: a shame. Thank you, you have rescued this fine guitar. Greco built fine instruments. Good job!

If it made the kid who owned it happy, then there’s nothing to complain about.

Very nice overhaul -

[@taitaitomotomo4304]

[@ricdale7813]

You truly come up with some interestingly styled guitars. Looks like the market you fish in is robust in the quality used instrument departments. A trick too remove odd skinned/aluminum finishes like that is use a hair dryer too heat it up and soften the glue. Great Work as Always.

[@buzzedalldrink9131]

God damn that was relaxing! Your work is wonderful to watch. The attention to detail is commendable. Thanks for another guitar life saved.

[@FingersOnAFretboard]

Very classic results after another great rescue and restoration. It has reclaimed it's dignity once again after much abuse. Amazing what a solid beautiful guitar was hiding under all the dirt and paint! Add some double cream Dimarzio Super distortion or zebra coil humbuckers for even more style( but keeping original pickups is great too, economical, and respectable)

[@rauschguitars]

The amount of work you put into restoring the electronics is impressive! I would have just replaced the whole lot.

[@tonesthegrey6452]

I groaned a little when I saw the pickup selector switch someone unfamiliar with the concept of masking off things you don't want painted to protect them had done bad things to when painting his guitar red. It's unbelievable, what some people do with guitars and many other "nice things" that's textbook Dunning Kruger effect in action. 🤦‍♂🤷‍♂

[@danielktdoranie]

Very buzzy and microphonic, I think new pickups were the way to go

[@seattleday9690]

@@danielktdoranie You can always replace the pickups to get better tone.

[@Destin65]

Just a guess, but some guitar collectors prefer to have original equipment onboard as much as possible, or at least a period piece.

[@stewartross13]

Import electronics are junk. Always good to replace them. Pointless to “restore” them.

[@frankcoffey]

Nice work.

Man, what a difference. That looks so good now. Very nice job.

[@CR0SSJ]

Damn that guitar's been through a lot. Interesting choice to fill in top rather than sanding it off the old top colour to re-do it. Amazing details into getting the hardware restored rather than swapping them too

[@1985cactus]

[@robbyt.5258]

Respect good work. This was a resurrection of an old beauty.

[@NezukoZ31]

great work. i have quick tip as a custom painter here in the u.s. when you're masking circular holes, roll up masking tape with the sticky side out. and expand it to the inside of the hole. your method works great, but rolling up tape and leaving some above the surface makes it easier on removal because all you have to do is pinch the tape and twist. It also reduces how much paint may chip out as well.

[@user-fu4vk7xl4n]

さすが日本製やなー、、音良すぎてびっくりした

[@jime6688]

I acquired an old Les Paul copy similar to this some years ago that’d been painted over with cans of spray paint. I was going to try and do restoration, but quickly gave up as I discovered the body was plywood underneath all that paint. The short story is, it would cost way more in man hours than the instrument was worth, so scrapped it. I DO love watching others do these restorations though.

[@allenmcdaniel1470]

Same here! Like making a purse from a sow's ear, as they say. Worst wood ever, sound and construction-wise! I got burned on one once too! Tossed it! Firewood.

[@akakage390]

Это же минт колекшн серия. Одна из самых удачных и достаточно дорогих копий Гибсона от Греко. Каким нужно быть варваром, что бы так ее загондонить. Автору респект за восстановление.

Your videos never fail to impress me with the amount of time and dedication you put into your restorations! Good work as always, it was fascinating to see such a lovely guitar come out from underneath that exterior. It's always interesting to see the end of each of your videos because what you end up with is always so much different than what you began with. あなたのビデオは、あなたがあなたの修復に入れた時間と献身で私を感動させることに決して失敗しません！いつものように、そのような素敵なギターがその外側から出てくるのを見るのは魅力的でした。あなたが終わらせるのは、あなたが始めたものと常に大きく異なるので、あなたの各ビデオの終わりを見るのは常に興味深いです。

Гитара после Масштабного Ухода стала выглядеть как с магазина новой, сколько же труда ушло на восстановление, гитару чисто жалко, но, после ухода которую не видела лет 20 точно, выглядеть стала очень солидным Лес Полом.

[@0000song0000]

The aluminum looked odd, but definetely better than the reddish finish underneath 😂 Btw, Awesome job with the wood filler 😊

[@thegoodguy44]

The person who put the tape on it was trying to make it look like james Hatfield from Metallica’s signature ‘Truckster’ guitar. Crazy.
