古いギター、まだ使えるギターをキレイにしてくれて ありがとう

[@localtrust]

there is something meditative about this kind of content. It's so satisfying to watch. Also I love seeing these Japanese guitars from brands I've never heard of

[@paavoyletyinen6880]

It's a grime to treat your guitar like that. Glad you brought it back to it's former glory. Your videos are very relaxing.

[@romangad9292]

Ты молодец! Столько трудов вложил в гитару. Просто супер!!!

[@LostMountainRestoration]

I don't believe the fret board condition matches the lack of wear I see on the frets. I also don't see any signs of a re-fret. The dirt looks very unnatural. This just doesn't look right to me. Nice video, though.

[@johnnyh409]

Looks like a guitar that sat around in a garage or basement for years or a very dirty house with heavy smokers. A few I have restored looked the same.

[@GoEvan101New]

I dont know why but I found it funny when the ends of the strings shoot out at 0:58

[@infoscholar5221]

Those are some enormous lipstick-style pickups, and they have a wonderful chime to them! It's like an Earth Two Telecaster! I see that it's a 1970s Fresher Mercury, their version of the Fender Mustang.

[@hpblack1953]

Hm…a cigar bar guitar. I trust the electronics were tested and cleaned before all hardware and wood work. Nicely done restoration.

[@Gspokane1]

I guess they weren't too worried about the intonation. Glad you fixed it. Great work!

[@user-xb3fr4tw3d]

懐かしいフレッシャーのギター🎸昔､回りにギブソンやフェンダーを買えるような者はいなくて多くはコピーモデルだった。知人が持って来たのはフレッシャーのストラトキャスター‥なんて退屈な音色なんだって記憶があります。それがだんだん好きになりチャーが好きだったのでたまたま中古であったムスタングを買いました‼️独特のフェイズアウトしたサウンドがお気に入りでした‼️また欲しいギターの１つです。

[@ehehe123456]

徹底的に汚れを落とし修理する姿に尊敬です。私には絶対に無理です。

[@user-ve7eo9gk4m]

懐かしい、フレッシャーのムスタングタイプですね。昔、色違いで数本所有していました❗

[@neilatkinson174]

My friend you need an ultrasonic cleaner for all the metal parts

[@SixStingsDarko]

I have japanese guitars and basses from '60s, they have never been so dirty and never as new under the dirt

[@searayser]

Aye: Helps the transformation from 'before' to 'after' but

[@grantkoeller8911]

Back in the 1970's and 1980's every smoked. It was almost sadly normal.

[@blackymaijom-lc7mw]

Great work making it looks abandon, old and rusty.

[@fredgero2688]

I love how relaxing these videos are.

[@joelewis7072]

Agreed

[@user-kd2ow7pb1c]

я бы в дополнение, сменил верхний порожек, т. к старый раздолбан. А задний порог отодвинул назад, т.к японские гитары усыхают и мензуры не хватает. направляющие струн на голове надо подымать выше по максимуму. Еще, весь пластик можно мыть под дущем обычным шампунем. А в качестве чистящего средства использовать только WD-40, для экономии)

[@jessehoward6160]

So did we just poor oil over a good guitar in the name of a "restoration" video here because that's kinda how it's feeling.......the chrome parts don't really have any pitting to them and the fingerboard is glossy and has no age to it either?........hmmmmm🤔

[@FingersOnAFretboard]

'Re-freshed a Fresher'😉😉Add a neck shim to lower playing action maybe?

[@gillouga61]

Efficacité des produits et du savoir faire DINGUE.!!!!!!Magistral!!!!!!

[@KevanRCraft]

Amazing transformation, great work to bring the guitar back to its former glory.

[@briand7381]

A mustang clone! Where do you find these guitars in this shape? Great video! Your restorations are perfect!

[@1012musicman1012]

Why not level and recrown the frets as well? You do so well with the restoring it should be able to play as good as it looks.

[@ALEX-Extreme]

It seems like I’m the odd one that thought it looked cool before the restoration, I totally would’ve rocked that, blues on a beat up guitar 😮‍💨, I know I’m weird.

[@mrcrappyguitarist]

what an amazing transformation! i always look forward to your videos, the quality of the work is outstanding! well done 👍

[@Sammywhat]

That guitar looked like it smelled horrible! Hope you are wearing a mask when cleaning!! Great job as always!! ♥♥

[@NicolasCharretier]

the stains and grime look like it was tobacco/cigarette smoke... I'm pretty sure the guitar smelled of Tobacco....

[@SuicidalDespair666]

25:35 east bunk hill... Anasarca最高です！

[@GoodmanRecordingsTokyo]

now it's really Fresher

[@guillermohorruitinermartin9415]

Que buen y bonito trabajo. !!! Quedó preciosa y suena muy bien !!!

[@user-wv8ly2qn5l]

Работа непростая.Сначала нудно все разобрать , испачквть каждую деталь и собрать.А потом разобрать еще раз чтобы очистить.И снова собрать.Дофига работы.

[@metalmick]

It certainly was "fresher" after the restoration. Great colour too.

[@AROtotheN]

While some dudes are paying thousands of dollars to make their brand new guitars look old, this guy makes old guitars look brand new!

[@MasterFailureOfficialChannel]

Awesome cleaning, she looks beautiful now! The riff starting at 28:20 is really nice, is this from an actual song?

[@headrushindi]

I like how you carefully chose the proper discoloration to artificially make the guitar (LOOK) dirty . One that would come off of the guitar with minimal effort when you pretended to clean it .

[@joshuabarron8535]

Indeed, this whole vid is nonsense.

[@RodFleming-World]

Did your mother leave you to cry in your pram?

[@sonomama82]

Simply amazing. 本当にすごい！ザージャパニーズ職人。🎉

[@jeffseven2194]

WOW, what a mutant,I see elements of Strat,Tele,Mustang and Jazz/Jag. Great choice on bridge replacement. Fantastic job

[@eduardosantabaya5348]

esta se dejó de usar por la rotura del puente y la dejaron a dormir en una cocina, o un local gastronómico por la grasa que tiene pegada por todos lados. Es notorio como la misma grasa hace que nada se oxide, cosa bastante habitual en los videos de este muchacho. Linda limpieza y reemplazo de puente, lindo instrumento.

[@user-gr3by6nx2c]

またまた見事な復活劇にギター愛🎸❤️で胸撃たれました❣️🌏 1Fカポとローコードの演奏とこのFresherの音が見事に往年のカートコバーンに🛒大判を積んで与えている素晴らしさ👍は、いつもいつも感服する次第です‼️🌏 少子化の日本に🇯🇵あって、このような愛と救済が両立する事を幼年期から刺激する事が、日本の未来にも誇りが持てると確信しております‼️若干70歳の私ですが、気持ちは17歳のまま…プレッシャーよりフレッシャーが目の前を過ぎった記憶が鮮明に甦り…愛の普遍を感じました‼️ありがとうございました🌏

[@leev211]

I have an old 80’s Jedson guitar missing it’s bar style bridge like the original one for this guitar, I never thought about putting a different bridge on it, gonna try a rollermatic bridge on it, thanks for the great vid and idea

[@ito-hiroshi795]

フレッシャー！ 78年、フレッシャーのムスタングを買いました。 ちゃんとしたダイナミックトレモロがついていて、三万五千円でした。 Charさんが流行った時に売り出したのか、その前からあったのかは不明ですが、レイクプラシッドブルーとおぼしきカラーで、カッコよかった♪ ナットだけギブソンスタイルで、ちょっとだけ気に入らなかったけどwww あたしゃ左利きなので、ジミヘンみたいなスタイルで使ってたけど、テイルピースをひっくり返すとトレモロだけは左用にできたので、気に入ってました。(笑) いつかの引っ越しで、どこに行ったかわからなくなってしまった・・・

[@gobeco]

I love the way you edit your video recordings, informative but essential and not boring. Great!!!

[@tomwhite716]

Just curious how many hours it actually took to do this job. Amazing craftsmanship.

[@tobytopanga]

It really is “FRESHER” now!!😊🎉

[@TeleCaster66]

I'd enjoy these much more if they were real.

[@paulj0557tonehead]

Mr. Clean Magic Sponges (generic is same) work amazingly well to clean scuff marks and dirt from plastic and painted surfaces. I use the magic sponge and Liquid Gold. Also I use Resolve carpet spray cleaners, and dry foam sprays to restore vacuum cleaners and electronic organs. Combo organs and home organs.

[@1strider103]

相変わらず頭の良さと技巧の素晴らしさ。 それしか、感想が言えない。 拙いコメントでごめんなさい。

[@Boefkick]

Very nice work man! Interesting guitar as well. It's like a Stratocaster, Telecaster, Mustang and Jazzmaster/Jaguar combined in one! ❤

[@triangle4624]

Ты это ещё советские электрогитары не видел

[@SpiceofLifevariety]

It's just a mustang clone lol never heard of a fresher though. Fender version of a chibson I guess

[@jeffrowlette]

It was that dirty and used, but absolutely no fret wear....hmmmmmmmm

[@CraftyKiwiLures]

Another top job, love seeing these older style guitars been given some love by you to bring them back to life, it sounds great too 👌👍

[@Joe___R]

The previous owner must have been constantly smoking to get that guitar in that shape. I didn't think it was cream colored when you started. Even after such a cleaning, it most likely smells like cigarettes.

[@brentp6120]

It probably would have been a good idea to level the frets, lubricate tuners, and do a proper setup. Is it properly intonated? That action is crazy high. You did a good job polishing by hand but I'm sure a palm buffer would have saved some sweat. Great job though

[@oterocarbonell1665]

nice restoration and nice Amanda Woodward cover!!

[@shmalberto]

I love Faraquet..and this guitar

[@atari.k_guitarist]

クリーニングもお見事ながら弾いてらっしゃるフレーズからポストロック好きが滲みでてらしてそちらも好みでした🕊 このあとファラケット聴きます笑

[@SpiceofLifevariety]

Mustangs are my favorite electric guitar. I have a particular interest in clone models. Wish I knew more about this brand. Awesome restoration video

[@stewartmitchell8007]

Freshers where made in Japan between 73 & 85. They copied various popular designs from les pauls, explorer's to strats, Ibanez and even a Brian may model. the mustang design was an early one. Most stayed in Japan but quite a few came to the UK. A well rated guitar for the time. They pioneered an on-board fx circuit which was pretty cool.

[@JulianFernandez]

Fresher. Deserves that name now.

[@antoine2333]

Hello Friend, and yet another brilliant restoration ! This guitar is absolutly georgeous. I was just trying to figure out whether this guitar is fitted with a Fender Jazz Master vibrato ? Thank you for this nice sharing ! See you next video...

[@MacPakinga-gl8bu]

Cool awesome 🎸 cibson 🎸 thankyou for sharing 🎸❤️. from new Zealand 🌏

[@jondoeband2]

This was sitting in or around a kitchen, wasn't it? Makes we want to go and clean my guitars again and I just did that last week! Excellent work!

[@mr_don_rowe]

I guess they ended up making some tone-katsu over the years

[@MaskedRiderChris]

Another lovely piece of work surfaces from underneath ruin and it looks beautiful! I like watching you work on the obscure Japanese guitars I've never heard of, like this one. 破滅の下からの別の素敵な作品表面とそれは美しく見えます！私はあなたが私が聞いたことのないあいまいな日本のギターに取り組んでいるのを見るのが好きです。

[@monsieurdupraz8579]

Good job .. with nice Faraquet's music on the trial

[@stroker93]

Looks like an Ibanez built guitar, maybe under Hiroshima Gakki company... There is definitely styling on that that is very similar to the Roadstar series....

[@picksalot1]

Your videos demonstrate that what often looks like serious damage and corrosion is more cosmetic, and can be cleaned with the proper tools, solutions, and patience. Though on this guitar, I think something may be wrong with the pots or pickups.

[@JoelGilardini]

Thank you again for this new video! I always wonder how do you manage to find such beaten up guitars! Great work and restorations, and I always enjoy your trials at the end, I love the alternative-post-punk-grind-metal stuff you play on these guitars!

[@brodyh2895]

sounds like math rock/midwest emo to me

Again an amazing job !!!! ( nu ff in het Engels ) , unbelievable what a beauty you made of it !! Soundwise a ask myself is it worthy but that is not what this is about. It's about your skills to make a wreck as new .........👍👍

[@MGC-1977]

I love your videos! Next time, be sure to measure for the intonation/scale before drilling. You got lucky this time 😁

[@alonsoortega7949]

Japanese Craft...

[@brentp6120]

That bothered me too. In the play demo it certainly sounds out at points. I'm sure those old tuners aren't that reliable anyway

[@seancollins3106]

unless it's way off, he can adjust it on the bridge. he should be fine.

I thought that this was a jass/blues guitar it doesn't need to have overdrive pedals attached to it.
