From Leo: You are doing quite well at the most unsatisfying part of the job. I am ok with smooth sanding, sealing, spraying, wet sanding and polishing, because each step feels like progress. Stripping one to get to the starting point is very labor intensive and always seems like not much progress is made for the time and effort. Of course any shortcuts in prep will always show to the finished product.
It is good to have caught up on your channel, Andy. I agree that On the Bench is a great segment. I have not yet started recording my gear lessons, hence all I can say regarding the future is: “Hey! Where is the sanding?!”
Can you see how many pieces of maple were used to form the top by looking at the exposed edges? The most I’ve found on my Les Pauls is 5, this is on a wine finished 1978 Deluxe . You can see the joins though the semi transparent nitro.
The natural look looks great with the black on the front of the body! Reminds me of the Gibson Lou Pallo signature Les Paul which came out a few years ago.
Another great episode. I might have been wrong about leaving it all black, it looks great. I was thinking hey where's the sanding most of the way through though.
Hey, where’s the sanding? Great series. I don't think I'll attempt a refinish anytime soon after watching this. But I am looking forward to the finishing and perhaps taking a crack and building and finishing an LP kit. Does anyone know if there's any kits with a fat 1958 style neck?
I spend a lot of time in garages too, but then that's what I do for a living. I fix broken garage door springs lol Nice work very interesting. Hey where's the sanding!!!!!!!!!!!
Where indeed is the sanding?? I was initially horrified at the prospect of this project and quite ready to rant and rave but colour me curious I can't stop watching. I am fascinated to see the progress and the end result. I am grudgingly impressed and am prepared to eat my words.
Hey Andy, noyce work on the Paul. Gotta agree on the natural look. I did the same to my PRS SE years ago, but that was more of a painful battle like experience than a breezy acetone sniffing adventure!! What was with the no sanding and hey why would send back a tepid cuppa tea? You could use it to stain the mahogany 🤣
Why is this so oddly satisfying to watch? Loving the series. I didn't like Les Pauls until I played a satin-finished one, and then promptly bought one. Hey, where the sanding?
Its a pity you aren't able to do the top too. That 'black' would look much better as a maple cap - even if you do a translucent black so you can see the wood grain of the maple. That would still keep the sentiment but just look much neater and cooler... btw: Where's the Sanding?
@@TheGuitarGeek Mostly the laminated body. Super contoured with an oil finish. The question is. Do I grain fill with a colour tint first and what colour? Thinking that a hint of coffee might be nice.
Hey, where's the sanding? Enjoying the series. I think it may be a typical guy thing where one guy works and the rest stand around and watch him. Looking forward to the result.
Great series of videos Andy. I have a No-name Gold Top that a previous owner poorly painted the back, neck and head-stock - and it looks like they used a goddamn 4" decorator's brush to do it...!!! So, I'm going to be using some of the techniques you've shown here... But hey, where's the sanding? :-)
@@TheGuitarGeek Ah yes, good point. It was only a cheapie but the guy before me fitted it with Seymour Duncan stacked P90's and they sound awesome - it's just the back of the guitar looks crap! Plus they put a Gibson (sticker) logo on it too so, that's all coming off... I've no idea what brand it is/was as there's nothing to identify it - all I know is, it's NOT a Gibson...
@@TheGuitarGeek I said that before I got to the acetone part of the video haha. I just meant that paint remover didn't leave so much behind like the heart gun in my experience. It's looking great so far! I'm excited for the next episode! :D
Hey, where's the sanding ??? Great video, keep them coming, curious as to how it all goes. Got a LP Standard {1996) & a LP Studio (un-bound 2006) plus a Fender Strat & Gretsch (oddly,. LP shaped) but plays real good, also an old, old (early 70's), Eko 12-string - Kev
Hey brother, I saw your previous video with the blue les paul and I thought that it was great. The only thing I would have done different is the binding, on the sides is great but on the front I think is too wide. If you do it narrow on the top like les paul standards I think is going to look great on this guitar. Just my opinion ; ) I really love your videos
@@TheGuitarGeek awesome, I cant wait!!! I always say that black les paul standards should have exposed wood on the back, it would look better and different from customs for example
Really loving this series, and that neck looks amazing. Mind, I had to laugh at the "it's a Saturday night, and I'm stood talking to myself!" Oh, and hey, where's the sanding? Lol!
Hei wesda sandeen. I assume that’s how you spell their name, I presume some sort of eastern actor maybe? Scraping paint is far more exciting than it should be. Can’t wait for a bit of sanding down, love me some sanding. Cheers for the shout out ;)
At least most of them. The big dents (like the big one on the treble side, on the edge of the cap) you probably won't be able to get to raise all the way. It should help some!
Andy.... Haven't left a comment for awhile. Things seem to be going great for you and the channel Congratulations. Anyway, had you considered using 0000 steel wool with the acetate to remove the remaining lacquer off the neck and back? Hope all is well with the family. Peace. And, yes, Hey, where's the dam sanding??? LOL
Man I love the videos you post especially these Gibson videos and one thing I would like to see if you can change the color to the headstock of a Gibson Les Paul and that would be a challenge instead of black
Annddyy .. you should have had a mask on for the acetone bud !! geesh its not fun stuff to mess with in fact I felt like I was re-living the intoxication from when I used it without a mask or ventilation !! LOL Now how you went about this scraping the majority off using a scraper + heat .. THEN wiping off the rest with acetone is the right call as you can see you almost got it all clear off. A tip ... you can steam out that divet on the edge of the top using a wet cloth & a sodering iron or cloths iron. Ken boudereau, will gelvin & a few others on youtube have shown this technicque to get rid of even fair size divits in guitar bodies of wood. I'd give it another DEEP wet wipedown with acetone on those area's before your final sand to pull the nitro out of the wood pours. Keep it up bud & cant wait to see the finished product !! :)
Hey, where's the sanding? It's not there yet, we'll have to wait. Reminds me of that G'n'R song, we all need a litte bit of patience, or something like that. Too bad your friend does not want the top-laquer to be removed, I like transparent finish on plain maple tops, I'm a little bit fed up with all those flame maple tops, after some time they all look the same to me, plain maple is always different. Some people even do a solid finishes on swamp ash - sinners, they'll burn in hell! Only in guitar hell, don't worry, they'll have to spend eternity playing the bass!
Hey where's the sanding! You sir, are an absolute geek with an unbelievable amount of patience. That's meant as a complement. And I am an extremely sad man to sit and watch it!
Damn you, now I feel an itch to get rid of the lacquer on my LP clone's neck. My only concern is that I may discover really ugly joints and wood under it... The body is plywood on my poor old 90's Tanglewood Star 501. The neck resonates well but the body is... well.... plywood. I have already fitted 57 PAF style pickups, replaced the tuners, bridge and nut and am waiting on a new wiring harness for it. Leveling and redressing the frets was a nightmare. The lengths one must go to when you can't justify spending a lot of money on the guitar you actually want 😳 Still, in the end she will be what I made her, there is a particular satisfaction in a project guitar.
Really loving the videos dude. Takes me back to how I found you in the first place with the Mustang videos! Not to be critical and all, but... Hey, where's the sanding? 😋
I tried acetone on an 60s Ibanez Tele years ago and it was a nightmare Andy. It took gallons and cost a fortune. You’re doing a fantastic Job, very therapeutic and enjoyable to watch 😀 hey where’s the sanding !!
SAND THAT PUPPY!!!!! Looking good Andy. And yes, I believe you made the correct choice of using heat then acetone in the manner you did. One should be very cautious when using acetone, as it will destroy any plastics it is allowed to be left on for any length of time. Had the body and neck been bound I would have screamed, even though you wouldn't have heard! Can't wait to see it finished!
Hey, where's the sanding?! Great project. I have a LP Studio and find this particularly interesting. But I would enjoy this more if it were slightly more condensed. I am not impatient, but episode 3 was essentially a longer version of episode 2. I think those could have been combined in a single 20-minute video. Episode 1 was awesome, episode 2 was interesting, but IMO could have been sped up a bit more. Episode 3 was a little hard for me to sit through. Just my opinion and my attempt at some constructive criticism. I mean no offense! I agree that the wood looks really beautiful, and I look forward to seeing what comes next. If I were more ambitious, I think this would be a cool project for any guitarist, but it would probably turn out to be a nightmare for me. You're putting quite a few hours into this and you've done all of this before. What takes you a day would probably take me 4. I hope your friend is paying you well!
Thanks for the feedback Ted. I agree with you that these two parts could’ve been the same video but they represent two different work Weeks. It is extremely time-consuming so I put in what I can in a week and then release the video. I promise this week will be excellent
When I removed paint from a Strat I used 'Nitromors All Purpose Paint And Varnish Remover.' Might be worth considering when/if you do this again.
Thanks. This is nitro.
@@TheGuitarGeek Would 'Nitromors' not be a good fit with nitrocellulose lacquer?
From Leo: You are doing quite well at the most unsatisfying part of the job. I am ok with smooth sanding, sealing, spraying, wet sanding and polishing, because each step feels like progress.

Andy, you are doing a FABULOUS job! You crack me up. lol. Hang in there amigo!! I can't wait to see how this project turns out! You Rock!!!!
It is good to have caught up on your channel, Andy. I agree that On the Bench is a great segment. I have not yet started recording my gear lessons, hence all I can say regarding the future is: “Hey! Where is the sanding?!”
Glad to have you back!
Can you see how many pieces of maple were used to form the top by looking at the exposed edges? The most I’ve found on my Les Pauls is 5, this is on a wine finished 1978 Deluxe . You can see the joins though the semi transparent nitro.
I really hope that it’s one piece. You will find out in a couple of days ;-)
The natural look looks great with the black on the front of the body! Reminds me of the Gibson Lou Pallo signature Les Paul which came out a few years ago.
I need to google that one!
The plastic plug for the strap button is actually a factory thing. Gibson did that for several years.
Another great episode. I might have been wrong about leaving it all black, it looks great. I was thinking hey where's the sanding most of the way through though.
I promise it will look awesome.
Smooth forward strokes reduces chipping and rolling over edges but this is starting to look really great nice work so far!!!
Hey, where’s the sanding? Great series. I don't think I'll attempt a refinish anytime soon after watching this. But I am looking forward to the finishing and perhaps taking a crack and building and finishing an LP kit. Does anyone know if there's any kits with a fat 1958 style neck?
Thanks man! I have also been looking for a 50s neck kit. Maybe Pitbull?
@@TheGuitarGeek I don't see any neck profile info on their site, I'll reach out to them.
Soooooooo satisfying to watch. Thanks sir.
But come on... Hey, where's the Sanding?
Hey Moog!
Alright, alright!!! I will get to it. Jeeees. Get off my back.
A couple of days ago I got myself a 1991 LP studio, love this guitar and your videos give me lots of ideas :) thank you!
Cool! What colour is your studio???
@@TheGuitarGeek It's black, black guitars got the best tone ;) haha
Hey where's the sanding? You're a complete and utter maniac. I love it.
Very entertaining and satisfying to watch. I'm sure the result will be stunning!
I am sure it will be
Getting nicer! I know you're working late at night to make this project but I'm anxious for the final result
Ditto! Work will recommence on the weekend
the exacto on the fretboard was soooo clean!
It really makes you wonder why they paint them up! Beautiful. Can’t wait to see it oiled up and all.
...but, hey, where’s the sanding?
It’s coming!!!! Why’s everyone bugging me???😂😂
Hey where’s the sanding great show I am learning a lot I have a old sg after the end of your videos I am going to give it a try thanks
No don’t do it!!! (If you do, send me pictures)
I spend a lot of time in garages too, but then that's what I do for a living. I fix broken garage door springs lol Nice work very interesting. Hey where's the sanding!!!!!!!!!!!
Well you must be good at your job if you can get in and out again.
Hey, where is the sanding ;-)
Good to have this back on your channel, love watching you work on guitars like that. Can't wait for the results.
Where indeed is the sanding??
I was initially horrified at the prospect of this project and quite ready to rant and rave but colour me curious I can't stop watching. I am fascinated to see the progress and the end result.
I am grudgingly impressed and am prepared to eat my words.
Thanks for being open minded! I promise I won’t wreck the guitar
Consider my mind opened - consider me fascinated.

Hey Andy, noyce work on the Paul. Gotta agree on the natural look. I did the same to my PRS SE years ago, but that was more of a painful battle like experience than a breezy acetone sniffing adventure!! What was with the no sanding and hey why would send back a tepid cuppa tea? You could use it to stain the mahogany 🤣
Tea stained guitars are the future!!!
Coming along great. Can’t wait to see the next video.
Thanks 🙏
Why is this so oddly satisfying to watch? Loving the series. I didn't like Les Pauls until I played a satin-finished one, and then promptly bought one.
Hey, where the sanding?
Hahaha. I mich prefer satin too
Wow love it man.,.. Looks really good!.... I'd take that solid black off the top and put a see thru color on it!..anyway can't wait to see it done!..
Good news coming up!
Its a pity you aren't able to do the top too. That 'black' would look much better as a maple cap - even if you do a translucent black so you can see the wood grain of the maple. That would still keep the sentiment but just look much neater and cooler...
btw: Where's the Sanding?
I agree. Maybe Matt (the new owner) would be up for that.

Guitar shall fear me."

This would make a beautiful goldtop with faux binding and the rest of the body wood and neck just oiled.
You are 100% correct.... that gives me an idea
Hey.....where`s the sanding? Its looking great so far.
It’s coming together nicely. Really loving this project
you should totally take a peek to the mapple cap

I don't know if there's something specific about guitars maybe, but why not just use paint remover? This seems more difficult for worse results.
How are the results worse?

Oh that sanding is going to be.... sublime. I’ll be thinking of you
You can probably steam the dents out with a soldering iron and a damp towel
At least most of them. The big dents (like the big one on the treble side, on the edge of the cap) you probably won't be able to get to raise all the way. It should help some!

I'm loving see it it build bit by bit. and by build I mean reduce
People are suggesting I remove the paint on the top...
If you’re up for refinishing it afterwards. If it’s a nice looking top I think a stain would look cool, if it’s a poor top I’d want it repainted.

on its way!
Had to wait so long for a ‘FIRE!’

Damn you, now I feel an itch to get rid of the lacquer on my LP clone's neck. My only concern is that I may discover really ugly joints and wood under it... The body is plywood on my poor old 90's Tanglewood Star 501. The neck resonates well but the body is... well.... plywood.
