Trash to Thrash #53 Voodoo Crackle '67 Flying V (Gibson Flying V Faded)

[@ashes2ashes20]

(FUN GUITAR FACT) Hetfeild's original V was not a Gibson. It is actually a copy, Probably Japanese, and has a bolt on neck. Over the years he has customized many times.

[@wrenchhead6840]

I heard it was an Electra

[@thooker4284]

Word is ESP is planning to remake it in some way.

[@creepin_deth]

No, it is Electra, made in USA, and James' guitar has a glued neck. But yes, it's not a Gibson.

[@chrisadams628]

@@thooker4284 If they do, they should make a budget version of it like Kirk's. I feel like that would be more in line with what James' V was.

[@leombele9310]

It's called electra and it was made in Japan

[@Metaldad87]

They have killswitches but do they....engage 🤔

[@tylerglover6835]

(Howard jones will remember that)

[@Fernos005]

I see you building guitars from scratch in your near future, like myself I started with wiring,fret work, made a body, now necks now I create my own masterpieces👍

[@DweedleDeeDweedleDoo]

@@benburnett8109 Are you having a bad day Ben? This dude's obviously just an enthused hobbyist, not everybody can be a boutique luthier. I'm sure the 'masterpieces' comment was personal and not meant to be objective. He even mentioned how it was incredibly hard to do in one of his videos, how Trogly would rip him apart for the lack of details, and how most guitars are made with 10+ pairs of hands so its hard to take on the roles of painter, woodworker, etc. all at once.

[@PrimaryToSecondary]

@@benburnett8109 Better than what you can do.

[@shardzkaylar]

I can practically hear the soul of that guitar scream out in redemption after you saved it from certain doom. To apply stickers to a guitar is adolescent in nature, but to tattoo them onto a classic guitar like this is just pure insanity. Thank you for giving it a second life, and what an amazing job you did here. 🎸✨

[@ilovegreenock]

I like the retro 80's vibes that the crackle finish add to that guitar! My favourite build on this channel so far ! Well done !

[@lixi9881]

it looks like the pack a punched camo from black ops 3 shadowes of evil, love it!

[@dirtlipdilly7021]

That’s the most bad ass Flying V I have ever seen

[@ulvydarrerikson1639]

Definitely one of your best build !!

[@JediMasterRick2]

Great job. I really enjoyed the video. It was like a network show. I’m building a 67 Flying V right now. I’m sticking to what would be factory but I liked what you did.

[@stormcrowinstruments7489]

GuitarGuts, have you seen the Jackson video on FB of them spraying a crackle? After their base coat, yours being red here, and before they spray the black, same as yours here. They are spraying some type of clear lacquer or something before they spray the black to start the crackle? I'm wondering if that helps it develop the bigger crackles like they get. They're not waiting on the lacquer to dry at all and quickly start spraying the black right after. Just wondering if you seen this or if you've already tried it..

[@tgarder]

Ok that is one killer paint job,, amazing that it goes all over it

[@richgh4905]

That was a beautiful guitar I wish I had the skill to do that I have a faded studio I have had it since 07 I love how it plays sounds but I could never do a paint job like that absolutely beautiful

[@CheapGearJunkRiffs]

Dude this has to be one of my favorite builds I've yet to see on your channel 🤘🤯🤘! Those are some fine looking guitar Guts shirts too 😃.

[@BASSPLAYER13]

Aren't Gibson Vs set neck? I thought the firebird was the only neck through Gibson

[@NoQuadsNoMasters]

He said it at least twice. And you can see the set neck seem one of the times he says it

[@jfo3000]

Probably just misspoke.

[@mister_syre]

A sustainiac demo and/or a tutorial to add one to a guitar would be great.

[@terrylumpkin4219]

That look wicked bad ass🎸🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@a.s.a.p.5897]

dude! this is exactly what I'm trying to do, I just can't find any guitars cheap enough to start with, but I modded my own like crazy, double humbucker super knock-off strat, clear pickguard, and lights on the inside

[@B2Rockin]

Man you guys absolutely nailed it!! The guitar looks freakin’ amazing!! And I love the additions and placements of the modifications you made, really awesome work, kudos! I want one!!! 🤣🤘🏻

[@bluetopguitar1104]

Beautiful guitar.

[@gilbertrodriguez1960]

That's a awesome guitar 🎸 Mark you killed it.🤘👹🤘👍

[@Rikamortis6stringer]

CAME OUT EPSICK! Great job start to finish! Peace Bro

[@WholeLottaBulldog]

Looks incredible, Mark

[@dylanodland4820]

Gorgeous work as always! Great choice in pick up as well!

[@Into_the_riffs]

I can't wait to have my Fender Jim Root USA Jazzmaster refinished by you!!!

[@HOUSEOFHIXON]

KILLER JOB BROTHER 🤘💪⚡️- I was also digging that black V with the kahler system

[@mattgoettl6796]

You should make a video where you show off that mount you used to paint it. That thing was cool, I'd like to try to make one now that I've been inspired by yours.

[@metalguitarist5764]

Oh, My God! This video is outstanding well made! Also the result of that guitar is brilliant! This content inspires me significantly to improve my channel! Blessings and best regards from a part of this Earth, the only one we have! Great! Totally a masterpiece!

[@benduncan9307]

Great episode!

[@jinjalord]

Thing looks KILLER 🔥🔥🔥🔥 hella Thrash worthy

[@biganttony6786]

I also have a Marshall Mg 100 amp. Yeah it ain't the best but you can get some good tones out of it. It gets HEAVY too.

[@gsbguitarsgsb679]

Other than the crackle paint it’s very well done. I’m not a crackle paint fan. But you do good work. I modify and build guitars too. More of the modifications part these days. Most of my guitars have some sort of modification done and yet I have a few that remain stock original. Glad to see someone else out there working on guitars with great passion. It’s a fun and creative adventure that is rewarding and sometimes challenging. Thanks for the ride. I’m a new sub.

[@absinha6209]

Fantastic build

[@MiBurnout]

Thats a friggin rad rebuild! Bad ass!

[@barra6709]

Best guitar channel on yt.

[@gun_toting_lefty]

WOW!! Red - Crackle - and POP!

[@rangle187]

Pretty cool set up. It's a cool custom guitar.

[@Scourgeofmadness]

Wow killer guitar I love it great job on painting and looks just perfect Greetings from Poland

[@jkay_]

You deserve a lot more recognition for this, great work

[@DeathPenny]

Looks Great dude!

[@AbiARDH.Official]

love the finish 👍

[@rev1023]

Dude, that's some sic tone!!!

[@alexsid3975]

Came out really well , we’ll done mate keep ‘em coming 🤘

[@ravenblackfeather4028]

Great work...looks amazing ❤🎸🔥

[@michaelpierce3641]

Freakin awesome love it

[@chuckbowie5833]

Looks and sounds amazing!

[@ianroberts4981]

This should be a TV show.

[@TheStrykerProject]

I've always loved crackle (and alien blood spatter), AND I love Vs! Looks great, as always. I had a disappointing experience with Montana Hardcore spray paint. One, it spit tiny chunks a bit when spraying, but more frustrating was I sprayed Rust-Oleum 2X Ultra Cover Satin Clear, which *melted* the spray paint (*after* a two week cure for the paint). What did I do wrong?!

[@onlyfromadistance7326]

EFFING GORGEOUS!!!

[@JaysWave75]

AMAZING! AWESOMENESS! BADASSERY!

[@NIJHR]

that is just beautiful!

[@vincevandergraff1508]

i have no idea how this is the very first time i've seen anything from this channel pop up in my feed, but i just wanna say this was totally killer what you did with the Flying V here. i'm gonna need your contact info for some future projects, as i find stock guitars mostly boring, unless it's a classic.

[@powersv2]

Dude I definitely have been doing this.

[@mariofabrizi5050]

Poll just shows your subs are all metallika fans. Few would have heard of the other guys or the Scorpions

[@AngryShellback]

Flying V Player... The Composer who created most of the Garage Days set list... Diamond Head's, Brian Tatler...

[@josephjara3681]

Nice work mate...... one of the best so far🤘😠

[@jbowDonDiego1380]

Very eddie munson Stanger things color vibe to it I dig it

[@paulmccourt6185]

I love the rosewood fretboard, it's not to dark for the guitar

[@Lordbaccus]

That is the 1st Gibson V I have seen that I would want to own!!! Wicked Execution

[@roland4ever22]

Wow, awesome transformation. Do you think i could do this on my guitar.😂 wonder if homedepot sells crackling paint

[@theoven7143]

The Mr. Pibb guitar is pretty brutal

[@saarbrandvin7749]

Amazing I want one 😮😮

[@slayer666ere]

I'm very familiar with this guitar one of my favorite guitar players was in Judas Priest and it was KK Downing he had a red Gibson V it was really cool and really awesome KK Downing his V was really cool and Judas Priest

[@singularity360]

Where can I get those volume and tone knobs at??

[@slayer666ere]

That is definitely a v Shredder awesome V

[@TheStrykerProject]

Man...I had a beautiful Gibson black flying V from the 80's, but it got stolen. I still get bummed when I think about it.

[@efrainfierro3820]

Where did you get the speed knobs from?

[@budleysulterton7931]

One of your best!

[@ashleyjackson8538]

Have you ever recovered guitars from severe flood damage ? All my guitars got submerged in a basement . The cost of repair was similar to the price I paid ,

[@DeadmeatDarkdaylight]

DAMN! I want one now!

[@NicholasMcMonagle]

this is awesome

[@dethsyndrome]

Ever tried this on a kelly? This is one of the best resto-mods I've ever seen on a guitar, so badass!

[@denommers]

wow, great job!

[@teoortega4061]

She's a beauty screaming metal yeah

[@Malum09]

This is one badass looking guitar bro! 💪

[@drej1714]

Whatever happened to the Jackson that you cut the lower horn off of?

[@lucianbarbosa5073]

Awesome 🤘🏻

[@michaelhalstead7532]

Its gorgeous. How much did you put into it in parts and labor ?

[@slayer666ere]

Now would be a better idea if you don't have a painted black one there's a oxidized and what happens is it turns the metal black or dark just to let you know that it would help so if you Heather have a project like that and you don't have a black one what you can do is what is it does it oxidizes the metal and makes it dark or black like a machine gun color or a dark color to blend but it oxidizes the metal

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

It came out amazing. Sad to see the Spunky sticker go, tho.

[@7Steels]

Great Job!! What brand of spray paint do you use?

[@wrenchhammer5106]

Amazing. How can i get you to do my flying v??

[@GuitarGuts]

Send me an email, [e-mail] 🤘🏼

[@UncleSasquatch]

That clear coat!

[@michaeloakes3667]

I love it!

[@briansmith2125]

Excellent! How much do you charge for a job like that?

[@joachimdeissler3198]

Looks great❤

[@Lordbaccus]

I WILL be ordering a T-Shirt ASAP

[@msblades5382]

Mark is that a Alexi Laiho LTD in flat black that is hanging behind you in this episode. I may be interested in that one.. Cheers, Martin

[@wrenchhead6840]

Hendrix was known to play a V once in a while as well

[@alojz300]

very cool

[@molochsorcery4357]

Sweet!

[@footnotedrummer]

Very nice job! I do have a question though... so many purists out there take issue with using polyurethane as opposed to nitrocellulose. Is there a reason you use poly instead? Does the crackle paint not work with nitro? With poly... you certainly won't get the sometimes desireable checking or discoloration over the years, but maybe a guitar like this doesn't need that. I guess I don't know. Thoughts??

[@tommilitello198]

Imo all that checking makes a guitar look like trash,and some of the stuff those “purists” believe is laughable more than anything

[@scottthompson850]

That’s bad ass!

[@eizen2908]

You should try staining a fretboard

[@patrickkeenan6331]

Note: these guitars are set neck, not neck through.

[@Heavy_Metal.Nerd-2005]

Fuck! That is awesome, dude.

[@zephyrsharpe5817]

Nice

[@TheBrianRaglandChannel]

Only thing I would have done different is not wrap the strings around the tail piece....So not necessary overtime it's going to leave "Marks" in the metal and take the paint off......

[@gigachad3066]

Damn

[@raymondjallen]

I’d hydro dip it for a custom finish.

[@wilhelmtheconquerer6214]

"The guitar is a neck-thru." No? It's a set-neck?
