-I refretted and cleaned up a worn and battered guitar.-

[@GusFjxuxuf]

Hello from Texas. Good job. The video was...strangely relaxing. The guitar looked like a “player”. It is almost sad the history going away. I see the “J B Weld” on the input jack. I have a Telecaster and I have replaced the jack several times so I know WHY he used it. I think I would have put new screws/pots/wires/caps on it. I love the knobs.

[@lukeallen6444]

I appreciate that you did not over restore this guitar

[@smoll.miniatures]

Great restoration, but I loved all the history of the stickers etc.

[@samashitasamashita6142]

フレットがあんなになるまで弾かれてたのがなんかエモいなあ。

[@victorhugoteixeira7036]

lots of people complaining about the state of the guitar, i bet the owner played with it a LOT and had LOTS OF FUN, and thats why they are made for, good stuff are not supposed to end on museums and never get used. The owner put his own personality in it, gotta respect, its a guitar not a painting

[@MrKassiuskley]

тем не менее обращался владелец с гитарой похабно

[@meriwoo7382]

it's one thing to have a part of your personality reflect on your instrument, and it's another to treat them like Sid from Toy Story did his toys

[@bergmenezes]

I`m in love with this new jack...

[@larryburwell8550]

wow buddy you did a hell of a job on that guitar

[@bobsweeney9836]

Didn’t expect to hear His Hero Is Gone at the end there. Great band and excellent work!

[@trefwoordpunk2225]

LIKE WEEDS WE WILL GROW!

[@dr0psy]

at least this one looked well-played. so nice to see it restored to rock again

[@chleofranquet21]

Very good work its a best guitare 72 deluxe and custom you can play everything with this

[@heysahan]

i just realized you’re playing i hate myself as well. what great choices for demo songs!

[@フリッカーだよ]

こういうギター直せたら楽しそうだな〜 テレキャスカスタム本当にカッコいい

[@d_charon9704]

These videos are so satisfying to watch.

[@Castrovd]

Love the little jam session at the end of your videos! Keep up the good work!

[@russellmorgan5611]

Looking at that fretboard, somebody had a lot of good times with that guitar. And that's what it's all about, isn't it?

[@dylanhoward718]

Yea. Before the resto you could tell it was welled loved. Looked awesome

[@pvdguitars2951]

Beautiful 72 Telecaster Custom! You brought it back to life, brother. Fantastic as always!!!!!

[@КонстантинТихонов-б3х]

Это не изношенная, а изгаженная гитара. Мастеру - респект!

[@joncaradies3155]

Love the pick guard choice ..... Very cool !!!!!

[@antoine2333]

Hello Friend, thank you for this video. Once again, you've done a brilliant restoration on this excellent 72' Fender Telecaster Custom Made in Japan. This make an high quality guitar. It's just shameful how some guitarists mistreat their instruments. Fortunately, as a Doctor in guitar surgery, you've added to this nice Telly, some more years ahead. Thanks again for this enjoyable video ! See you soon...

[@rafaelcb180]

Music is life Léo fender is a legend this product untill todas os incredblo, the peale Dream whit that is a gift from god and reconizible for all this iOS beautfull thanks Léo in Brasil is very hard have on those happy for who restore and reconize this value sorry for my inglês a hug for then!

[@praketingrichraft6181]

I like that, in tribute to it's punk rock past, you got a little punky and rough and tumble with it. Great job.

[@mitchmurrell753]

Theres a keeper! You truely do these old guitars justice. Well done capt.

[@goHaenchen]

I quite like these restoration videos and enjoy how they look almost pristine after. But sometimes i‘m sad after removing all the stickers and scribbles the previous owner gave the guitar, it has some kind of charme and history behind it. Hope you understand what i mean. But still, great job on those restorations.

[@ObsceneParadise]

I agree that the guitar had a long history displayed all over it, but it was filthy and barely playable, and now it has a whole second chance to be passed around and customised and played to death all over again, plus it still has some neat little scars to hint at its wild old life ;)

[@philipheubeck]

Interesting split in the comments - I think I would’ve gone for some kind of compromise, DEFINITELY would’ve kept the Japanese writing on the headstock and maybe incorporated the little white heart from the original pickguard

[@jazzad]

This is so satisfying to watch. Cleaning the rust from hardware is more easily done with an ultrasound vat. It doesn't deteriorate the part at all.

[@TheNeonRabbit]

I would have replaced the switch, pots and frets then let it be. Someone put a lot of love into punkin' it up. I loved the big glob of JB Weld or whatever that was on the output jack cup.

[@JIMBOLewis-xp8fu]

Can't believe how beautiful this guitar came out..I'm an old punkrocker..I wouldn't have done that even when I was 15..would have bought it for$20@the pawn shop&cleaned it up..love the classic pick guard👍😁

[@mitchmurrell753]

Unreal paint correction. I wonder where you source these abused instruments...

[@brunohermes1]

now THATS a guitar with some serious history! im so surprised you were able to even ACTUALLY restore that- good heckin job man!

[@PeterLindelauf]

You gave back that guitar's dignity and integrity. Good work.

[@corneliuscrewe677]

He's the one the frakked it up in the first place. The aging is faked.

[@perkins1439]

That was a great restoration you left everything original

[@nuryruso4525]

Just discovered this channel yesterday. Amazing work mate.

[@gildasgros9663]

Great job ! So relaxing and satisfying ! Andi like the midwest emo riff vibe at the end

[@curiouscatlabincgetsworrie7755]

At first I said "Oh noooh! o_0 " ... then I said "Oh yes!!! :D". A new hope for an old guitar! Also props to Fender for doing a proper finish to begin with making this guitar worth saving! :D One more ... a lot of love must have been used and abused to get the frets worn down like that, right? It wasn't left in an attic to just collect rust. It was played!!! :D

[@Nygle123]

Beautiful work. Earned my sub. I love these restorations!

[@davidratliff807]

I really enjoy your approach to finding very beat up, guitars, and cleaning them up to the point they are playable again, great job.

[@precbass]

How some people can let an instrument get in such a state is beyond me.But you fixed it,with a refret into the bargain.Well done.The most relaxing 1/2 hour of my day.

[@theothertonydutch]

I love ratty instruments like that. The cleanup and everything erased the history of this guitar.

[@hafidz007]

When the guitar look like a skateboard. U need to erased the history😂😂😂

[@BlueRoseShilloh]

@@theothertonydutcha ratty guitar like that one isn’t playable

[@infoscholar5221]

You've never played a punk club, brother.

[@hafidz007]

We play guitar 😂

[@DH-tj6tf]

That poor Tele, you definitely brought it back to a Tele Custom 👍💯

[@takistsiberis6636]

I just love telecasters , and u did a great job, bravo!!!!

[@ziggylayneable]

That's a three bolt-on neck it's a early 70s telecaster it will be worth a lot of money in America.especially cuz it was made in japan.HIGH QUALITY INSTRUMENT!

[@knifedawg]

nah it’s a reissue; probably from ~2007.

[@liviorock2026]

Chi raggiunge questa meta di perfezionismo ha un Arte da insegnare guardo i tuo video e mi emozionano sempre grazie di esserci😎🏆🎸

[@BFClayto]

Very nice job, You kept some patina and left it's character. Did you say when this guitar was manufactured?

[@maxgrim1672]

You put so much effort into the tele.....And you leave the Mesa Box so ruined!

[@mixiricaman]

part of me feels extremely satisfied and part of me feels bad to see that much history in that guitar just gone.

[@fabiandaroca]

OMG!! What a beautiful restoration!!!!

[@timothytrump9002]

Almost looks new now, excellent work. What an amazing instrument you got out of that mess.

[@veiledrecalcitrance4314]

For future reference, a heat gun or even a hair dryer is good for taking stickers off, especially old stickers. If you heat the glue on the back of the sticker, it’s way easier to pull them off. If you do manage to rip it off and it leaves some of the glue, then use the spray (actually wd40 works great for removing the glue left behind from stickers and decals

[@joesatchton212]

Most people would not believe that is the same guitar. New around here....subbed! Just wonderful, patient work!

[@dylanhoward718]

Body looked awesome before. Was defiantly a vibe. Just needed a cleanup and new electronics.

Awesome restoration and playing. Love your videos. Keep up the great work..

[@00DUCK]

Great job! That guitar has seen some stuff and now it has new life to see even more!

[@HappyDuckGames]

idk what hurts more- seeing the input jack being held in by putty or the frets with trench-like dents in it, great work as usual!

[@markdalton6662]

I would love to get my hands on this guitar

[@bsmith8943]

Absolutely great restoration. Saved a great guitar.

[@R4v3NDrvmZ]

[@jimcoppa6946]

You do absolutely excellent work thank you keep the videos coming I enjoy them very much

[@beattrixer7947]

Great Video, any chance you can forward over tools and materials used. many thanks

[@mathiasbauer1347]

It got the restoration it deserved, but still, I loved the ”middle finger to good taste” punk axe it was.

[@H_mzaS]

I feel bad for this guitar. The owner clearly played the hell out of it. I mean, look at the state of the frets. But why didn't they put any effort into fixing the pickguard, and what the hell did they do to the output jack! Thankfully you have restored the guitar to its former glory. You are an artist in the way you restore these guitars. I love the attention to detail. You could easily have replaced all the rusted parts, but you take the time to restore even the smallest thing to its original condition. Keep up the great work!

[@frankoconnor8141]

So relieved to see you didn`t use power tools, they should be barred from use on all guitars, nice restoration job. 👍

[@Malandrino1984]

Muy buena como quedó! Eres muy bueno restaurando… no tanto tocando 😅

[@andrewpartington7274]

Great choice on the tortoise pickguard! I love that look with the black body

[@ScottKing-ub9gd]

What a great transformation. Sounds on point

[@jarekkaczkieo5815]

Wow, Im happy to see that. Im still amazed that this guitar is in so good shape after all she's been through.

[@mrcrappyguitarist]

for me, this is your best restoration yet. at the beginning, seeing the guitar in the state it was in, i didnt think youd be able to do anything with it. how wrong was i! outstanding job on the tele, very very well done my friend

[@GAZBLIN]

Amazing work :-) How do come across so many neglected / mistreated guitars. Loving the end results.

[@chairmankaga101]

I got that exact Relaxin’ with the High-Lows sticker when I was in Japan in 2002! It lived on a beater Danelectro for many, many years.

[@bradtaylor2461]

久しぶりに若さとパンクスピリットに溢れた使い方をされてきたギターを見た。メタメタに荒い扱いだけど、弾き込まれ方もハンパない。洗車もオイル交換も無しで何万キロも走ってきたようだ。

めちゃくちゃカッコよくなりましたね！ギターも喜んでますね！

[@asambatyon]

as I watched this video I was hoping the guitar retained some signs of its punk past. The result is beautiful, but it also seemed to have had a great life worth remembering

[@BeaverVision]

Agreed, I wish they had somehow saved the pick guard

[@Czwascz]

Agreed, way cooler before

[@SleepscapeSerenity]

Same, it had much more character before

[@cheesyburps5013]

[@carolinawestern3875]

Not sure, but this looks like a MIJ 70's vibe Squier Telecaster. Maybe the neck decal has been changed. I dont actually see someone treating a true to goodness vintage one like that. Super job on the resto! Wow!

[@SpiegelY]

after wathcing all thos restoration videos, the most interesting thing is where do you get those guitars at all? Each looks like it got through millions of punk festivals on stage

[@SpiegelY]

if you are from Japan, it looks like japanese players are very creative with stickers and visual guitar moding :)))

[@phajeebarr]

Nice restoration! Now I need all the song titles that you played. :)

Whomever put this guitar in the state you started with deserves to only ever have cold French fries for the rest of their life. They straight up disrespected this beautiful instrument. Great job on the rehab. I like that you retained some of the character and didn’t make it pristine. I’d love to play this one.

What a great restoration in this guitar!!! great job!!!!

[@baorozzo]

To remove better the pitting, you could use steel wool 0000 (four zeros). It’s like a fiber cloth, but it can do miracles on chromed parts with rust or pitting. Give it a try 👍
