Aw yeah!
Good find and good repair
Now Sean, is that an official Stewart Macdonald iron??? That's just unprofessional! 🤣
I'm kidding, by the way.
🤣😂🤣😂
Looks better already! Brad, are you going to use this in your amp repair demos?
@@TheRealDealBobbySteeleI would have to hurt a guy beating on a gold top.
Instead of destroying instruments, why dont they donate equipment to music schools. Hell, its tax deductible too.
My guess would be some legal reason. Whatever the issue was Gibson doesn't want this guitar out in the world where it could be resold and possibly tarnish their (cough) "stellar" reputation.
That could be used as evadance that do have brains. Both Gibson and Guitar Center 😂
Hey u gonna have to stop making since! Haha
Probably because laws are so stupid that if they donated it and the guitar fell on some kid's toes they would sue Guitar Center.
Insurance won’t pay out for damaged property without it being destroyed. Once had to throw away 400 sq ft of hardwood flooring because of a finish problem.
Well done! I think Brad will be happy!! You and Brad should get together on a podcast or in person. He's a great guy from what I've seen.
30:43 i like that that . Right by the line, on the line, and half the line damn we can build airplanes too.
Bless you, and your family too, 🙏
😎👍
Bless both of you. Bless everyone.
If you are not concerned of the overall finish wicking some lacquer thinner down the sides of the neck pocket helps with softness and breaking down the glue!
Awesome, the best part is when she turned you up to Boss level, hahahaha
I would have been fired the next day cause the cameras would have caught me digging it out of the dumpster after I clocked out
Awesome job on that neck and great video. Thank you Sean and Cathy. ❤️🐕🐿️🦎❤🎸🙏🙏
That neck you built is looking fantastic !
Sean, hell I can't even play like you. But, I think it's great that you're showing how to fix guitars. I really like that.
I got a guitar wall hanger and a pair of 5B marching drum sticks in the dumpster last night, boy!
Brilliant! I'll binge watch any video of any length you're willing to make. You get results. Hadn't considered steam iron removing set neck. I DO have an iron i use to remove ceramic magnets glued to cheap single coil pickups when changing magnet types , and to heat paraffin wax in a stainless steel container to pot pickups
I’ve been dumpster diving Sam Aash an GC since I saw you first mentioned this and I got an acoustic electric hole cover and multiple Allen wrenches
🤣
Incredible that you can rebuild something so hammered. Literally. Looking forward to seeing this thing actually playable.
Now that's what I call hardcore luthiery without fucking around. Subscribed.
Destroying perfectly good instruments when there’s so many people out there crying out for a decent guitar, is unconscionable imo. Why not donate it to a poor kid who couldn’t afford it? They could turn out to be the next EVH!
I went fever crazy and went to every guitar center in a 50 mile radius. No dumpsters, just compactors. Dumpster dive denied . . .
That's some fine work on that neck. Look forward to seeing the rest of the repair.
I do think one opportunity was missed though, y'all could have recreated the coolest Les Paul variant; the "Aldo Nova" with an explorer headstock ;)
Man, that bandsaw cuts like butter,i like that it has a wide enough blade to use as a guide as you cut. Sweeet...
Can’t even imagine the sociopath that would intentionally do that to a brand new guitar. It really wouldn’t take much imagination to find a better solution. Shame on guitar center and Gibson
All retailers do this. What doesn’t sell goes to the dump. Old TV’s get locked in a trailer and sent to the dump.
Warms my heart to see that ol' boy starting to be brought back to life, Sean! Great work ... Can't wait to see the next video.
I was told the other day by GC repair tech that you could not replace a set neck I knew that was bs
Excellent engineering Sean ... Quit the flip flappin and make it happen brother 👍
From Leo: Shawn's skills are well showcased in this video. You clearly are a craftsman in this trade. It was good to watch. I saw Brads video when he found the guitar. I always thought they had found out it was a counterfeit chibson and did not want to perpetuate the fraud. Plus as a counterfeit, any time spent is worth more than a chibson.
You sir, are my HERO! Keeping it real sets an incredible example for us up and coming luthiers! Thanks.
So rad to see this come to fruition! I remember watching the original vid way back and always wondered what was gonna happen with this Guitar!🎸⛏️🤟
Full Boss Mode achieved! Wow, you always do great work Sean! Can't wait to see how this thing turns out. God bless and Merry Christmas 🎄🎁👍
this is amazing. you and brad are my favorite channels. thank you for all you do.
Nice. I've been looking forward to this guitar getting fixed since Brad found it. Keep rocking, God bless.
Kudos Sean! Truly skillful workmanship..your are surely not a begginer at this....looking forward to part 2 and hearing you jam on it when its finished....maybe donate it to a deserving kid just getting started but cant afford it...or raffle it off for a charity?? Well maybe some legal issues with that...but not if you put your Scarred logo on the headstock..since it isnt really a Gibson anymore ..heck its been improved anyhow. It deserves your logo!!
Great job so far man!! Brad’s gonna be stoked!!
I've removed many guitar necks in my life and never with a hammer and chisel. I did like that mini chainsaw!
Now see clearly Shawn is a real man... great work man, what a shame they destroyed that instrument...
Just looks like typical holiday shipping to me!
Awesome pro Boss guitar work Sean, so glad Cathy turned the dial up on your skill level. So glad Cathy did not come after you with a guitar up side your head. Cathy, be easy on Sean, We love Sean, and you too. God bless you both.
I like you man! You see value in things that some people don't. Thanks for resurrecting this abused guitar and making it sing again.
So the real thing that happens is: if a guitar arrives broken, its not Gibsons fault, its technically the shippers fault but they wouldn’t take accountability. Gibson wont cover anything once its already bought for the store. So being that this particular guitar is only a tribute model, it just becomes a loss to the store and its up to the store if they want to try to fix it and sell it at a loss and have it sit there forever or take it apart for spare parts and throw away the damaged wood and make sure it cant be used again. So in reality its like they only lose a couple hundred but its worked into the loss budget and the guitar just doesn’t exist to them (inventory wise)
I'm glad Brad saved that Guitar. Glad you got your hands on it. Just started the video. I bet it turns out Sweet 😎🎸🤘
very impressive work! Removing the fret board from the neck and the neck from the guitar was fantastic...Now I know what to do if my parts caster project does not have a bolt on neck!!
Hey Shawn, that is fantastic, sir. Impressive. You have an infectious personality and great attitude to go along with those skills. Keep rockin' it !!
Back in 2010 I bought a Parker PM20 off ebay for $175. The guitar had fallen over and the top of the broke off at the nut - and was lost - fretboard was still intact. It took me a long time to figure out how to fix it, but I eventually cleaned up the fracture , gorilla glued wood patches and carved to match the Parker. Still have it today.
Awesome video again Shawn on that beautiful guitar, looking forward to the next vido on the bodywork. Got to tell ya, you have some serious skills with the bandsaw shaping that nice open book contour. Love what you're doing. Just like you i love to rescue violins, acoustic guitars, electric guitars and electric basses that needs some TLC. I bent down a krooked neck on a 5-string bass once with a steamiron and it worked like a charm. After that the trussrod worked like it was supposed to again. 😉I just love My Gibson Les Paul. The setup is so good and it plays great. Have a nice day you're awesome! ~Rob🎸
Boy! Steady as she goes is the watchword for that bandsawing! One little overcut could send you back to the drawing board.
Always amazing watching you do your thing. A tip of the cap good sir and thankyou for your time and efforts 🇦🇺
Man, that's awesome. Seeing you work your magic on that neck. She's lookin good & standin tall with that new neck. Soo Good
All they had to do was remove the Gibson logo & serial number from the headstock, pull the pickups, and offer it as a builder's special...
You are amazing Sean! You outdo your self with every video! I owned a Gold Top with P 90s for a time.
Wish I would have kept it. I think it's great you have your wifes support . She must really like music. Best regards from Los Angeles!
First time commenter here, and new sub! Came here via Brad.
21:54 I was just going to say "Mind the paintwork with all that steam, chiseling and hammering"!!
Nice work "BOSS"!!
The iron on a damp washcloth is also a great way to remove water spots from wood furniture
Does it really work, seriously ? Am not sure I'd be brave enough to try it !! Convince me !!
Yes seriously it works. You don't leave on as long as Shawn does. It's a quick action. Damp not soaking wet. Lay the iron down for 5 seconds. Lift and check it, repeat if necessary. Don't believe me? Google it.
Man i recently became disabled I picked up guitar to help pass the time learn something new and keep myself occupied but to think guitar center is just destroying something like this is crazy I would never be able to afford something like this with the money I'm getting now it would be a dream to own something that cost more than $150 for me but for them to just be throwing that out like that makes me so sad.
I just joined (subscribed) to your channel, and Man am I glad I did! All the best for 2024!
Kickin ass and taking names on the band saw sir. Cant wait to see the next one. Thanks.
Sean, so much fun!!! Cut that neck out of blank like a BOSS!! Appreciate the fretboard lifting how-to. I use a similar technique to flatten out warped pickguards right on the ironing board. Only takes a couple of lightly firm presses with the hot steam iron, with the pickguard sandwiched in between a couple of terry cloths or towels. Works amazingly well. I always learn great tips from your projects. Thanks to you both for the videos!
I would've just bought a new neck, especially considering the RFID info tag..but you are doin' a freaking straight bang up job for sure. Good on ya brother, well done.😎👍
You are very entertaining Sean and know what you`re on about, keep up the good work ,looking forward to part 2 . Nice one Brad.
Wow Sean that is looking good, this is cool watching you give that Gibson new life man, great work, can't wait to see it finished .
Dude!!!! Duuude!!!! If there is only one "boss" to pull this off is you! Best thing Brad has ever done was give you this project.
Giving hope to all discarded axes everywhere! I know you said no arm-chair luthiers, but I gotta say this for all of us noobs out there; no matter how big the project, if it all feels like its skidding sideways, don't be afraid to stop and give yourself time to to approach the project with fresh eyes! Thats better than ruining the project and costing you MORE in the long run! Excellent work, as always! Thank you, Sean! 👍👍👍
The 'inventory problem' is probably a flaw, damage, or warrantee issue of new stock that Gibson doesn't want to repair. So, to save shipping costs in a Return to Vendor, they require the damage you see documenting the serial number, and Guitar Center was issued a credit or replacement.
Love what you have done with that guitar Sean and the final product and this video proves you are a competent woodworker! So glad to see the scar guitar is now playing and doing what it was suppose to be doing i.e sounding and looking great. Getting that neck off took brute force! Makes you realise that not all guitar making/repairing is subtle, that bandsaw was pretty heavy duty as well (however, manipulating the wood around it and the router took some skills and experience no doubt)
I like that Guitologists channel too,dude is pretty sharp...
GC does not do that. This guitar would have been sent back to Gibson. They cut it up in 7 pieces and dumped in 6 different dumpsters that are emptied on different days. The head stock will be saved by Gibson with the serial number. I worked at GC as a manager. I know they are not allowed to do this. Somebody else dumped it but why in a GC dumpster, I don't know. Maybe it was an employees guitar.
Great job on the neck, looking forward to part 2!
One piece neck!! Gotta love it! Great work Sean !
A local guitar shop had to destroy my Fender Sonoran due to a faulty pickup. It was the conditions they haf for replacing it since it was discontinued. The guitar shop was pissed, and Fender required proof of the full destruction. Its bullshit.
Love the Comedy Love the Channel 😸
Love this video lots of love an TLC can do wonders for guitars even though they are banged up. Can't wait to see it finished you do amazing work. Its going to be a sight to see and finally be played which it almost didn't get to. Which no matter what it needs to be right is the important part there is enough wall hangers around.
I loved the concept and layout of this video - realtime work on a guitar. and you edited the video to be under 40 minutes. magic sauce.
U have some serious skills my man!!! Great project!! Luv it!!
Dude bro, you got a post your phone number in your channel bro I mean I’ve seen plenty of good guitar tech, but I gotta say I gotta hand it to you, your craft and workmanship and skills. Not just blowing smoke either.
Great job so far Big Boy !!!!!!! Great watching you sweat Matey, "Wombat" the Aussie, Roger over and out !!!!!
So far my favorite video. Love it. Gonna end up trying to get a new Gibson headstock veneer? They’re pretty easy to find. Ironic how your neck is probably better anyways. And I’d leave the body relic. Adds to the story. You could probably make it perfect again. But for some reason the gold top looks awesome with some knocks.
"Tenderoni" that's funny as ... That was boss mode with the ban saw making that new neck. Looking forward to the next vid.
I knew you could fix the damn guitar. I never had a doubt. But watching you do it and seeing the progress brings it home how wild it is that you’re that good. Ya you have all that equipment but that’s all just stuff unless you know how to use it. You’re wild! I’m curious about the gibson logo though. Is it still going to have the gibson silk screen on it and the les paul? What are your plans there?
Sean, You obviously used some kind of Computer Graphics trickery or Ai to convince us that you really made that neck by hand. 😁 Nice job! Goes to prove you can't stop a good man with a plan and some conviction.
Good work sir. I've seen guys just heat those neck joints with irons then pull them apart from the body but I just don't see how they do that
That John Hiatt song Perfectly good Guitar comes to mind, Jayzus. Sean, you are a master craftsman. Folks get hung up on , “it’s a Gibson, we must revere it “ No it’s a destroyed Guitar. You are a craftsman who can give it life again. I really appreciate that you are making it a guitar again. A nice guitar, one that makes the music it was made to do. I have the highest respect for what you are doing!
Good Lord!!! I live not far from bad here in Kentucky!! I'm more of a fender man. Gold top Gibson is my favorite. Don't know what to say about the idiots at guitar center. I've seen a lot of decent equipment brad has saved from the dumpster. Keep up good work Shaun! From Kentucky!!!!
I worked at Guitar Center for 4 years when I was in school I we never destroyed a guitar
Nice! Can't wait to see finished!! 🤘
Man I wouldnt have even known where to begin. What a job. Nice work.
Mad skills on the bandsaw! First saw I used in 7th grade wood shop, not much you can't cut on a bandsaw.
Very nice work so far dude :)
Very nice work. It's really cool to show that, there's no magic way to do this. It's time and patience. I was going to say talent. But didn't want to get carried away😂😂😂 God bless brotha!
Well said!
30:42 nice, definitely using that trick on wood projects now!!!
When it's done and playing better than it did before it was destroyed it need to be put on a song called Gibson didn't want me!
I find it offensive that someone would destroy a perfectly good quality guitar like this. Better give it to a school or such with not for sale stamped into the headstock. Disgusting. Thank you Shawn for saving it.
I KNEW IT!!! magic bandsaw..
Nice job Sean, you made that new hard maple neck quick, like its nothing 😜
Guitar Center destroying these guitars sounds Sounds more like an insurance claim to me.
I would guess the Gibson legal department advises them not to donate them due to risk factors. Yes that's how stupid litigation is in the United States these days. But I'm just guessing.
@@Joe-mz6dc true. Had not thought of that.
Would have been cool of he made it like the "headless" SG that someone made cuz of a broken headstock but the break was pretty good for a repair
now that is going to be one very special guitar, with a very interesting story! awesome.
I just know it is going to end up better than it ever was. cheers!
this is an absolute travesty. criminal. somewhere a poor student could've really appreciated it and learned on it. I quit doing business with guitar center years ago, and will never do business with them again. thanks for saving this one, Sir! HOOYAH!
I ran into this a few times when I was a guitar tech with them many years ago. They'd want us to do this sometimes even if a guitar just fell off a hanger and got damaged. I rescued most of them, though. Had to do some crazy repairs a few times.
Enjoying your video - watching you save that poor guitar. Great work!
Part 2 is up later today!
Great job on this so far !!
That was a mess. Great work man 👍
I NEED to see part 2!!!
Brings tears to your eyes😢...never understood the logic behind the madness of these corporations🤪...more money than sense!!...doing a Fantastic job by the way😊😊
Now that's a "Scarred" Guitar!!! 🤘💯🍻
