    Some of the Greco guitars were really good... and the Burny Les Paul copies were awesome. Too many Americans sleep in how incredible most Japanese craftsmanship and woodworking actually is. Masterful work from the ground up.

    Very classic results after another great rescue and restoration. It has reclaimed it's dignity once again after much abuse. Amazing what a solid beautiful guitar was hiding under all the dirt and paint! Add some double cream Dimarzio Super distortion or zebra coil humbuckers for even more style( but keeping original pickups is great too, economical, and respectable)

    I acquired an old Les Paul copy similar to this some years ago that’d been painted over with cans of spray paint. I was going to try and do restoration, but quickly gave up as I discovered the body was plywood underneath all that paint. The short story is, it would cost way more in man hours than the instrument was worth, so scrapped it. I DO love watching others do these restorations though.

    great work. i have quick tip as a custom painter here in the u.s. when you're masking circular holes, roll up masking tape with the sticky side out. and expand it to the inside of the hole. your method works great, but rolling up tape and leaving some above the surface makes it easier on removal because all you have to do is pinch the tape and twist. It also reduces how much paint may chip out as well.

    I am a long time subscriber and have watched every single video you uploaded. Your restorations are most admirable because of your dedication to smallest details and the patience you practice. That's why I was surprised that you have missed the rear side of the head stock (it's upper part) and that you made some scratches on the polished front of the body while screwing in the screws that hold the saddle. Which makes you human, I guess! Another great job, though.
