Thank you. Many people tell me that I reveal too many secrets to the general public. But I don't think so. I really try to show everyone the intricacies of technology and I have a specific goal for this. Once upon a time in the nineties, my father and I studied ancient icon painting and fresco painting because my father lived by this, as I do now in Les Paul. But at that time there was no Internet, there weren’t even books on this topic. The Soviet Union has just died (praise God). Before this, this whole topic was taboo. We looked for information in handicraft reprints. We asked the simplest information about technology from artists who knew something and had some experience. but they all did not want to share even the simplest information about the technology. This really infuriated me. Now my father and I have walked this path and painted dozens of churches in Europe and the Balkans (the cradle of the original Byzantine fresco). Where are all those artists who hid the technology? I don't know. technology is just like the pentatonic scale. Just because you learned it doesn't mean you'll play like Clapton. Therefore, I am happy to share my experience and experiments. Because if someone follows my path and becomes better than me, then I can learn new things from him. This is happiness. This is how art and progress work. I consider TH-cam to be an analogue of the Great Library of Alexandria. This is the gold of the modern world. I'll be happy to leave a part of me here. And on Patreon I will tell everyone about this in even more detail.

@@8BombCustomthis is elegantly stated and really sheds light on where your roots are and how you’ve become a master at what you do. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I like your attitude and approach, and that you correct old mistakes and constantly improve. The master has already failed many more times than the beginner. The difference is, the master kept practicing and improving. I discovered your channel a few years ago while searching for ways to relic a Telecaster neck.

Yet another beautiful work of art! As I have said before, ANY guitar factory Custom Shop would be lucky to have a man of your artistic talent to build a solid aging/relicing team capable of your level of expertise. I love your work, great video, great sounds as well! Rock On, Brother!!
I laughed for a long time now! It's funny, but I have two types of music masters I know. The first of them repair completely killed instruments, and, in fact, make a completely new master instrument from a 200-year-old violin or guitar, with a dried out, cracked and broken soundboard, a broken neck, and dead pegs, which will sound great and will last, perhaps for another hundred years. Other music masters, like you, on the contrary, use a new working instrument to make something very similar to what the first music masters repaired. It looks like you won't leave each other without work! looool Super job, as always! This GREENY sounds like a honey with chilli! Awesome! Thank You for sharing! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Beautiful work of art and dedication. Also very informative. She looks stunning… would you consider a strat maybe for the future ? Keep up the good work!
Wonderful work! Watching you relicing a guitar is really soothing for my mind. Its an art. And you got the skillz. Fake or not, really who cares. Never mind those
Can I ask your opinion on polishing a nitro finish with checking cracks? I have a greeny on the way and the finish is quite satin and I’d like to put a lil shine on it. It has checking on the body , I’m assuming it was done by blade, and am afraid the polish will either stain through to the cap or fill the cracks thanks
I’ve seen and played some relic custom shop and some real vintage I gotta say they are great guitars but I don’t think they come close to what you do. The relic they do appears kinda odd to me, but THIS is all another level!! Greetings from Sardinia, long time big fan!
De verdad admiro mucho tu trabajo, soy luthier y me siento totalmente inspirado. Ya construí una Les Paul, en este momento tengo avanzadas otras dos, y decidi hacer una réplica lo mas fiel que mis limitaciones me permitan llegar a la 59. Si pudiera hacerte algunas consultas, me sería de gran ayuda. Gracias por tu tiempo y especialmente por tu gran trabajo. Saludos desde 🇺🇾.
Thank you. I've been using ToneRite for several years now and in my case it helps a lot in shrinking all the components on a newly assembled guitar. this works well on nice new guitars. on cheap ones it doesn’t work almost at all, since there is nothing to sound there. on already played ones the effect is less noticeable. In any case, it is good to leave the device on every night as a habit.
Anyone else in the States notice that allparts and every other dealer of nitrolack is out of the golden age lacquer. A few places have the Nitrolack Relic, but in my opinion it is inferior to the Golden age Gloss. I've got 3 projects ready to clear coat and no lacquer.
That’s insane. Such a good replica. Honestly I feel like it would pain me to purposely damage a perfect brand new guitar like that. But the way it came out in the end was like a perfect replica. I was thinking of one day shelling out the money for a Gibson custom les Paul reissue.., but if this guy sells guitars I’m thinking I’ll have to go with him instead

Русские субтитры бы, интересно все-таки наблюдать за работой Мало понимаю в релике, все-же это искусство имеет место быть, на мой взгляд, в косметическом ремонте олдовых гитар, а "с завода" хотелось бы рояльного глянца😄 Результат офигенный! Релик прям как настоящий
What is the point of using "correct" vintage type of capacitor but with capacitance of +30% ? 22nF ceramic cap will be 10 times closer to 22nF bumble bee than 29nF vintage oil cap.
In my opinion, the choice of capacitors depends only on personal preferences. I have several vintage PIO Bumblebees, one film Bumblebee that sounds more interesting to me. According to measurements, all values show 0.028-0.029. In my projects I put vintage John E Fast 0.029 as they are exactly true to face value in measurement. I also like the sound of the K40-U9 and K42-U2. they all sound a little different. Ceramics can also be very beautiful. For example, vintage Mexican tablets that were installed on Fender. if 0.022, then they are very good for Les Paul.
With each of your videos and your guitar projects I ask myself a question: why doesn't Gibson's Murphy Lab hire you!? if you had a way to have the original models in front of you it's limited if you don't surpass them
Great job! now it remains to somehow get behind the scenes of metallica and exchange yours for his grinny.))) and it will be in the hat, otherwise let him play on this one!)))
Нет, ну прикольно. Довольно точная копия. И не каждый сможет так. Взять бы в руки оригинал и вашу копию и сравнить ощущения. Интересно насколько они будут по разному ощущаться. И если не говорить какая из них какая, на сколько быстро можно будет определьть копию. Забавно было бы...
I'd so much rather have a real or copy of a good Les Paul from that era while new, all that "relic" work does nothing for me other than cause revulsion. Flipping the neck pickup may float some boats, but my tech friend said he could install a switch to do the same thing, or not...

Yes polishing wax can fill the "cracks" if they maked with blade.
@@8BombCustom is there anything else that can be used to make it a slight gloss finish rather than the satin?
