- Hello People!
Thanks for joining me for more guitar restoration videos! This Kalamazoo Gibson gets some finish repairs, tuner bushing repair, fret dressing and setup.
Cheers,

Thank you for posting these vids, Mr. Scott!! Another fine fix - and on the cheap no less. I'm sure the customer is quite satisfied! I know I'd be.
Another great job, Scottie! Thanks.
I love your detail, very nice 😊😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Looks good. 👍
Goo bloost accelerator!
wish you were closer!
Don here from Hamilton NZ, excellent video sincere thanks 😊😊😊
Nice job as always. On a vintage guitar, won’t the finish touch ups done just to make it appear a little nicer reduce its value?
I think once the original finish is damaged it looses some value but the touch up doesn’t reduce the value any more. If someone were to strip the finish completely that would reduce the value by a ton!
What did you wind up with as to action? Did it's playability improve any beyond the string gauge choice?
Yes! I forgot to mention that the top had a lot less deflection with .010’s bringing the action down to a pretty comfortable place. I wish I would have mentioned that.
Thanks!
Scott, while watching you work on the bushing problem it reminded me of a question-I have a '67 Harmony Rocket III that was missing the tuner bushings on the treble side of the headstock. It took years before I was finally able to find three from StewMac that were the proper size to fit. Problem is like a dummy I ordered the new ones and not the aged ones so now I have three aged bushings and three bright shiny chrome ones. Will a soak in muriatic acid age the new ones for a more proper match? I'm just too cheap to pay $12-$14 shipping on 3 aged bushings that probably cost 49 cents each. Thanks.
That is a good question. It seems like you could mechanically age the shiny ones with sandpaper? Salt water is corrosive as well. Hmmm
