Happy Canada 🍁 day to all of you from Jim and my 4 kids in the UK. Hope you all bbq like good old dave. ITS 37 years to the day that you all celebrated independence from us over the pond. You still rock more then your..... 😷 In the USA.... Need I say more... God bless Canada and... Daves basement /man cave/ den of disentanglement.
Iv'e decided to adopt you as my Uncle Dave. Don't worry Uncle Dave, you don't have to send me birthday cards or take me to the football. I'll love you anyway. Thank you Uncle Dave x
uncle Dave , sounds right . I never had an Uncle Dave as far as I can remember I guess you're going to have to do lol your a good soul . I was in a shit mood earlier now I feel level after watching. thanks dude👍
You could get more mileage from the string sandpaper if you hold the loose end with pliers and just hold the roll in the other hand. Then when done, you just cut behind the used section and you save 2 inches. Hope this helps, really like the info you provide.
I don't recall you doing the Intonation Dave? I have the same bridge on a 335 and struggle to get enough travel on the saddles E A D strings. I have all the saddles facing to the neck? Thinking about the Nashville bridge if it will fit the 4mm Posts? It does mean filling the post holes and drill them for the new bushings? Hum
I upgraded everything that would be better on my Studio. Pick-ups/ 496-500,pots CTS 550k, caps orange drop .010's, Tonepro locking bridge,alum tailpiece, Kluson locking tuners and Tusc XL nut. Should be good for wk or 2
@@RikJSmith Do you ever care that you hurt the actual value of a Studio lite by replacing pieces? After I did this I found out about a 97 special edition of my ebony with gold trim ebony fretboard Studio that came with some humbucker sized P90's and special stickers stating some anniversary model. I don't think that's what mine was but don't really know. It's been too used for too long to care about originality.
Hi Dave . Hope you're doing well . I realize this Video is quite old , but I'm hoping you might see this question ; When positioning the Bridge , do the screws to set Intonation always face the Pickups ? I hope everyone is safe with all we're dealing with now in February 2023 . 🎸
What kind of glue did you use on the tuner bridge and what would you use to break the bond on it if you had to do some other work to it later?Also what was your total work time sent on the guitar?Thanks for your time and effort.
Thanks Dave for showing us one of your little vices - the grooving of the bridge; LOL. Seriously though how about threadlock sauce for the screw in bridge poles you used CA glue on? the advantage is the poles should come out with just the thumbwheels together on the one but still not wiggle. Cheers.
Gave I hope you do a video on the Les Paul junior you showed yesterday cuz I own the exact guitar I don't know if it's an Apple phone or a Gibson but I love that guitar and I'd love to see you work on it they are cool little guitars my words very well and I love the sound of it too like I said I've only been playing for 9 months but I was watching a video of a guy teaching some blue stuff and then there was a backing track at the end of the video to play to and I played to it a couple times and it sounds so good I recorded it I wish there was a way to send it to you the recording cuz it came out pretty goddamn good I impressed the shit out of myself I was in the zone dude it sounds real good i let my friend here it hes like Johnny Ray Vaughan that's what he called me joking around cuz my name is John I let my daughter and my daughter's mother listen to it they loved it my grandchildren loved it I had to let everybody hear it you know I'm on my way bro an old man teaching himself to play guitar and I'm progressing very well and loving it anyway if you still have that Les Paul junior hopefully you make a video with it
Probably a long shot with how old this video is, but can you use the abrasive cord to clean up a nut slot with any burrs? Not for straight up filing, just if it was cut poorly and is full of crap.
The l.p. that didn't sound like an l.p. but more of Gibson sounding like a tele. They were popular amongst country rockers in the 70s. Most were routed for full size humbuckers
so glad Gibson got rid of these small threaded post for bridge support. new ones get nice metal thread support. pretty much a guitar standard now for these style bridges.

70's Les Pauls are the ones you want if you're looking to own a somewhat affordable one. It's less of a roll of the dice than anything from the 90's to (especially) present day. They still have serious QC issues - or at least that's what the guitar techs/repairers that I know have been telling me. I got to see a few of the ones they were talking about with the QC issues. It was disturbing. I became a guitarist BECAUSE OF Gibson. Sad to see the state they're in (and people making excuses for it).
Of all of the guitar-shop-repair-setup channels, this one has taught me far more than any other.
That's a nice looking gold top Les Paul with mini humbuckers. The owner of that guitar is one lucky Canadian.

Yer last name is missing a U after the O.
DOUCHErty. Cheers asshole.
Those are so underrated, but still expensive.
I can't help myself, I love watching Dave work.
Just gonna have a good look at it with my EYE...you’re killing me Dave!
you are the Bob Ross of guitar repair
videos
This guitar used to belong to Keith Richards. He took off the 6th tuner because he just used it in five string open G tuning. :D
Beautiful guitar, looks just like the one Steve Bolton played with Atomic Rooster around 71/72. You truly did it justice Dave.
LOL at wearing a Fender t-shirt while working on a Gibson. :)
Les Paul Deluxes are super guitars
That's one nice looking guitar you're working on Davey!
I love the intermission song. I sang it to the wife today and she looked at me like I had lost my mind! LOL
What a beauty! I think my dream Les Paul is a gold top deluxe.

TH-cam alerts me that I have 36 videos to watch today. This is number one.
I love those tuners. I put them on my LP Studio and added tulip buttons.
Great instructional vid on how to set up a LP from scratch. Even greater ending!
Great job Dave as always! Thank You...
Thanks we get a double feature tonight thanks Dave and take care😜
Deluxe job there, Dave!
That was a great episode Dave!
Happy Canada Day! Gee Dave it’s great hangin’ out with you and learning in a very fun way! You’re the best!
Davey : Glad to "see" you've retained your sense of the sardonic.
Luv you like a Brutha, M'Brutha.
Happy Bar B Que'n..

My first electric guitar was a 1972 Les Paul Deluxe in Tobacco burst, miss it. Happy Canada Day Dave cheers!!
Very Lucky that’s a good first guitar 🎸
What happened that you don't have it now ?
@@TheHumbuckerboy I sold it in 1992.
@@BenCoombs I have always liked the Deluxe ; I would also miss it if I had sold one.
I'm almost sure I saw a band called the killer dwarfs way up in Sudbury back in the late 80's and they were really good!
Nice job mate
Love you, love your show Dave!
I play a 73 Les Paul Deluxe myself.
Norlin goodness! Nice lacquer checking.
Love those easy lock Grovers. I have them on a couple of different axes.
Happy birthday Russ
I like the Grover minis on my LP flattop, too! They are just the right size.... Cheers, Mike
Dude !! I hope you finished that song . I'd love to buy a copy of it. 🎸
Awesome vid as always dave keep on trucking my good man 👌🏻
uncle Dave , sounds right . I never had an Uncle Dave as far as I can remember I guess you're going to have to do lol your a good soul . I was in a shit mood earlier now I feel level after watching. thanks dude👍
You evidently have the same nighttime birds as we do here in Iowa... (@ aboot 1:50...)
LOVE THE VOLUTE!
Excellent guitar.
Gorgeous guitar.
This one is especially informative.
Sometimes the words just come to you when you least expect it! Happens to me all the time. Work on authentic, Dave. :)
Dave you is the best!!! I'm your fan in Brazil
Great video!
Always love hanging out with you man!
Happy (late) canada day!
Can’t wait til the next upload.
I don't like seeing my favorite Les Paul the Iconic GoldTop in that condition, glad you returned it to life. :)
happy belated birthday Russ and dave you must have been young in that song.

Like those gold tops
Great job!
Hope your eyeballs are OkeyDokey... thanks for the videos!
You don't need to be told Dave, but you're a cool guy. Thanks for sharing the guitar brains and stories. #sendthemanasandwich
that axe needed some work. Good thing Guy brought it to you

nice work dave.
"Play authentic" ....Gibson never tells ya it's "repair authentic"....those Gibsons will work your ass off!!!!....great work brother Dave!!!!
Nice guitar and great job.
What is that little tool you use to check pickup height?
Oh Canada!
Have a blast.
You certainly know your shit Dave....do not think there is not any guitar you cannot fix and do a fine job !!
Very Fascinating I think if you added a “Historic Toggle Switch Cap “ it would look so much Cooler !!! Pease Respect .
Happy Canada Day to you and all your countrymen, Dave!
Looks like a great Atlanta Rhythm Section or .38 Special guitar
My wife keeps trying to make me eat leftovers for lunch, I say ‘sandwiches for lunch!!!!!’.
My first guitar...
happy canada man.

Happy birthday, Russ! Happy Canada Day to my northern friends. Oh, and nice work there, Dave - glad you've made such a quick recovery!
I thought that you were going to play the song 'Canada' by Pilot
That's just like the first gibson i ever played except it was a burst
I accept!

i have one of these in cherry sunburst. Early 70s. There's nothing "mini" about the sound of those pickups.

Fender shirt and a Gibson guitar? I don't know whether to shit or wind my watch? Mind = blown.
Did you get the eyeball lasered? If so, it sure seems like you recovered nicely (and I certainly hope that is the case.)
He got the first one done 2 or 3 days ago, next one in 2 weeks (he said it in yesterday's video)
