I can't thank this pro enough for sharing these techniques! I have since reinstalled the tuners on all my acoustic guitars upside down and lacquered the frets, vastly improved the play-ability. Spraying my guitars with a water hose and filling with noodles definitely brings out the rich low end tones that my guitars were lacking. Do you have suggestions for my electrics? Keep the pro tips coming sir and thank you again.
I have no doubt about it Now My question is: would you restore the filthy guitar on the video? This is not a music or luthier channel and that particular one doesnt seem to be a historic one. Why must everyone pick on the youtuber and with such a hathred? Cant he have fun with his time his tools and rubbish he finds? God, he hasnt stolen paco de lucia's one to make this vid with it
The obviously faked planted cheap guitar in the weeds, the wire brush that scratches the wood and finish, the painfully drawn out disasembly of the pegs, the terrible paint job, the ramen noodles, the constant hair dryer blowing on an instrument, the upside down pegs, this video is so bad that it's unironically my favorite restoration video on TH-cam
Anyone else think this guitar was intentionally gouged and covered in shit for this video? Ramen noodle patch job, circular sander strip, Backward tuners, non wet sanded paint with loads of debris and bubbles. You can't make this shit up.
I refuse to believe that this isn't a self aware parody of a restoration. The amount of insane decisions made in this restoration are too numerous to be serious
Just the multiple scenes of the COMPLETELY superfluous wire brush and the sounds that it made... I'm pretty sure that it was just for the benefit of the people watching... to hear the sound of that wire brush scraping what finish is left off of that guitar with the razor sharp little wires, screeching, scratching, little gouges, the old weathered finish flaking off in each slowly orchestrated, gratuitous, horrible motion... scree, scraakkk... etc
peggs are in wrong way, horrific paint job, steel strings on a nylon guitar, and worst of all He scratched the everloving shit out of it with a steel brisstle brush.
It sounded just as good, and looked just as good when you pulled it from the mud. Alarming 😢 Ahh, some guys don't have the experience, mentoring, or equipment to reach a pro result. Good for the kid for his desire. I would love to teach him about a few things.
Jes... Problem lists here: 1. Using a wired brush on a guitar 2. Striping off the pegs with force instead of removing it and disassemble it 3. Not kowing how to use the cutting part on the pliers to cut off the string 4 WASHING A GAWD DAM WOODEN GUITAR ( I rlly can’t take this one...) 5. Using hair dryer to dry the guitar (not a big problem if he is not using hot air for this one) 6. Filling the hole with NOODLES (dude that’s an wooden instrument, not wooden furniture) 7. Spray painting varnish right on the top of the guitar without covering the sound hole, fretboard and bridge 8. Assemble the pegs in reverse order and not even IN THE GAWD DAM RIGHT WAY (I literally have no idea how did you manage to not assemble the pegs in the right way) 9. putting wrong type of strings on the guitar (It’s a classical guitar, not an acoustic) 10. Not knowing how to tune a guitar 11. Not knowing how to PLAY a guitar Jes... This has been one of the most cringiest video I have ever seen. I really do think the guitar will hope that it’s still a part of the tree. I’m gonna say this straight, as a guitarist and musician, this is the worst thing I hv ever seen in my entire life.
The last part he trying to play the guitar, I died laughing. Don’t blame me for being too crucial, that’s what this guy deserves for not respecting a guitar for a guitarist and musician. Instrument is a living life for us. They deserves better treatment.
This guitar was in better shape in the mud hahaha. The paint job, the noodles, the pegs in the wrong side, brush and water, the tuning, the sound... Should name this model Covid Signature.
ATTENTION ANYONE THINKING ABOUT USING THIS AS A GUIDE. - filled it with ramen instead of filler. - gave it a bath. - used a hairdryer. - used a wire brush. - sanded off the rosette. - sprayed over the damn frets/fretboard! - gave it the roughest finish I've ever seen. - didn't sand your spray job. - put steel strings on a classical. - restrung it incorrectly. - put the tuners on backwards. If I was being pickier that list would triple in size. HE DIDN'T RESTORE THIS. HE BROKE THIS. It was literally better before!

Beautiful restoration. If i may give you some advice, try using a blow torch and jackhammer to remove the mud from a masterpiece like this in the future. Keep up the great work.

There is so much wrong with this ‘restoration’. Giving it a bath, fixing it with ramen, the awful paint job and steel strings on a classical guitar to begin with. Please stay away from instruments!
Not so much restoration as it is guitar rape. It was in better condition when you found it. The US did a better job of restoring peace in the middle East than you did on this guitar.

I especially admire his skills at filling it with raman noodles, spray painting right over the fret-board, and then setting the tuners in upside-down. At least when it was covered in dry mud it had some character. Now it's an insult to guitar luthiers everywhere.
I could not stop laughing after you scrubbed that poor thing down with some shampoo, like not once have I seen such an absolute chaotic mess unfold in front of my very eyes. The second the paint went over the frets I was gone, that was the funniest thing I had ever seen in my life. Thank you Restoration and Metal for showing me that I could not mess up nearly this bad for any kind of project in my life, I commend you sir... Please "find" an electric guitar next so I can see how bad you could destroy that one c:
he fricken painted over the frets, the paint is dripping, he put the tuners on upside down, and he put steel strings on the guitar and thats clearly a nylon string guitar. It would have been better to leave it in the bushes
@@NewHunterMatt I'm assuming it was supposed to dry out the moist wood, like silicon or rice on a wet cell phone but it should never has been soaked in water to begin with. Much less painted with water based paint.
I don't know what's more annoying. The fact that he put the tuners on backwards or that he put steel strings on a classical guitar lol. This video is a joke.
I have so many questions... Why? What the hell were you thinking? Steel strings on a classical? That poor neck!! The paint job?!! I mean...what?! Noodles?!?! And why?!
The whole point of restoration is to actually restore something. I suggest you put it back where you found it and pretend the whole thing never happened
At least then it had character... Now its like one of those hollywood elites that get plastic surgery but they get it from a dumb Vietnamese kid with a wirebrush, pliers, a bucket of soapy water and a hairdryer..
1: hairdryer is going to dry out and warp the wood from the heat 2: water + wood = warping , cracks, distortion. 3: wire brush did more harm then benefit. 4. You painted over the frets, which now need to be replaced if not polished to shit. 5: The TUNERS ARE BACKWARDS Please never defile a musical instrument again
@@RS-tp3uu that's your concern? He had no regard for the finish and wood (which was probably garbage anyway, but show some respect). He put on the tuners the wrong way (it's awful, but it certainly had me laughing my ass off) and he didn't even bother to tune the strings at all. I'm honestly surprised the neck didn't snap in half, or the bridge come right off.
A wire brush? Spraying the fretboard with paint/shellac? Tuning keys put on backwards? Need I go on? OK, Steel strings on a nylon string guitar? Top Roman and Super glue? NO WAY!!!!!
Didn’t take out the frets Didn’t tape the fret board so paint couldn’t get on it Didn’t paint the headstock black Didn’t paint the hole back black Used noodles to patch up the hole Put the tuners upside down Didn’t tune it correctly Didn’t do the original paint pattern Used crappy music for this video Painted everything turd brown Painted the nut and frets Used guitar strings on a nylon classical What’s the brush for? If your gonna wash the guitar why use it? And i don’t know how many more mistakes
The one thing you missed and honestly after the list you have I wouldn't blame you for missing it because it was too unbelievable to think the guy really repaired a hole in the guitar with Ramen noodles. But he did just that. To me this guitar is a total mess. You said it best when you asked "What's the brush for?" I thought that very thing when the brush came out.
I love the part of this video where instead of washing it first he takes a wire brush to it. I think we all know where the scratches came from. I would bet money this was a brand new guitar that he punched a hole in then covered in mud. That is why he did not wash it first, we would have seen the new finish on it.
WHY WOULD YOU TAKE A WIRE BRUSH TO THE ORIGINAL FINISH. You just guaranteed the fibers will never take the same shape again, poured plain water all over it to guarantee the fibers swell and set further in that condition, and then take a grinder to the surface, guaranteeing it will never hold the same tone again. Guitar tops are made to tap toned thickness, each top specifically engineered to get the best sound. You change the thickness by a fraction of a millimeter you alter the structural integrity of the guitar forever. You have to use gel stripper to get the finish off without damaging the surface. Cyanoacrylate wears down and falls out, especially when it is compounded with something as fragile as noodles, which will dessicate and vibrate until they fall out through regular playing. You have to use fiberglass with slow setting epoxy, or compounded wood filler, or another piece of wood. Any luthier should know NEVER to expose the inside of the guitar to moisture. That is bare wood. The fretboard should have been cleaned with carnauba wax and rubbing alcohol, oiled, and left alone. TAPE before you paint parts of the guitar that are supposed to be bare, like the frets, nut, bridge, fretboard, heelpeice, soundhole. Use a heat gun to take out pits from spray painting, enamel spray (not household paint) more than one coat on, french polish the final coat. You put the nut and tuners back on backwards. omg I'm pullling my hair out right now please stop please
Put the Tuners Knobs Upside Down Pointing Downwards ! ! ! Now you can take the guitar to a local music gear outlet and play "Stairway To Heaven", then go put the poor thing out of it's misery and bury "Mr. Bumpas" somewheres out in the North 40, play TAPS in honor of/to the instrument and for allowing it to go go gentle into that good night ! ! ! Now I have the song called, "The Weight" going through my head . . . 👍😎🎸🤘🙏
Great job. Couple of questions : Can you use any flavour noodles for repair or do they have to be plain ? Which brand of coffee is best to spray the guitar ? Is this a full size guitar or are you very small ? You can use a wire brush in an electric drill to remove the dirt quicker - just saying.
I agree, he did a really great job! Double thumbs up. Also I think dog shit would work just as good if you wanna be cost efficient. The smell would add the finishing touch it needs.
Vices 1: video was entertaining 2: his intentions were arguably good Sins 1: the guitar in question is clearly new but destroyed for the sake of the video 2: cleaning dirt off a guitar with a wire brush will badly damage the finish 3: cleaning a guitar with water causes severe water damage to the fretboard causing it to warp which can lead to fret sprout and high frets 4: not taping off areas that shouldn't be sanded 5: top ramen and superglue is a terrible idea for patching holes because well noodles absorb moisture and flex easily where as something like sawdust and epoxy resin accomplishes the same thing and wont rot or absorb moisture 6: not sanding the grain filler all the way 7:wire brushes will scratch up your tuning machines just purchase replacement tuning machines or wet sand blast them 9: not taping off areas that won't be painted 10: installing the tuning machine plates backwards 11:installing the tuning pegs upside down 12: steel strings on a classical guitar creates too much tension and can warp the neck of the guitar aswell as lift the bridge, cause the heel of the neck to become dislocated from the body and can even crack the top due to the lack of X bracing 13: the lack of any proper setup ie. Truss rod adjustment and nut sanding/shimming 14: let's be honest the demo wasn't good. 15: the video has at least 5 ad breaks 16: lack of clear coat will cause the finish to wear out easily and blatantly looks worse 17: cosmetics. No rosette, no binding, no inlays, no headstock logo, and not even a pick guard.
My friend, some of the things that destroyed this guitar: -washing it in hot soapy water and heat treating it with a blow dryer -patching a hole with tape and ramen noodles (*hey, I never thought I would say that sentence in my life!*) -spray painting/staining the entire guitar at once including neck, frets and anything visible dishonorable mentions: -sanding the guitar's finish off including the guitar rosette decal and inlays -sanding off/wire brushing the nickel plating on the key assemblies -failed assembly of the key assemblies Key points: >The wood in a guitar is paramount to its sound. It is already treated and prepared to be a certain way. Water, heat, vapor, moisture, humidity, salts, mold, termites, perforations, glue, tape and so on disrupt, ruin, attenuate, and otherwise destroy that quality. >Metal parts on a guitar have special metal coatings. Wire brushing or sanding them off leave them susceptible to the atmosphere and its elements. >The wood should be uniform in a guitar. The proper way to repair the top side was to remove the neck, the edge inlay, then the topside, replace the topside, replace the neck, position the bridge and refinish to match with a new rosette decal, inlay or hand painted one (if you're creative). >The neck was in the sun and weather elements. It should have been checked first to see if it was warped, damaged or bowed. A new neck might be required if the existing adjustment rod could not provide correction. >Using a wire brush on any instrument is considered heathen. Never do it again for the rest of your life. Promise me. It's important. Okay? >How a guitar plays is VERY important. You must check and adjust: the bridge, nut, keys, frets, and neck. You must also use the correct strings for the type of guitar you have such as nylon or steel. Strings must be the correct weight and diameter for your guitar. For a proper restoration you needed to check body integrity (which you would have done if you pulled the topside) for strong bracing, corner adhesion, loose or missing inlays & fret board separation at the neck joint. >An inventory of the guitar's condition and missing or damaged hardware on the guitar would have been helpful such as key quality, missing end peg/pegs, inlay damage, markers, nut quality, truss rod, fret quality and any creaks or separations in construction. In no way is this the entire checklist of a luthier who is a craftsman qualified to repair and produce guitars/parts. But it is written here so that you can have at your disposal some important aspects to the repair/restoration of a guitar. Essential to note is that a guitar is one of the most personal and integrated instruments a musician can bond with. Doing mean or obtuse things to a guitar can result in very nasty comments from otherwise good people to whom you are injuring their bonding experience with the instrument. In short, STOP doing what you are doing to guitars, it's hurting me.
This ass hole who made this video had a long argument with me on how he is the best luthier in the world He is a royal dipshit or this is a gigantic prank Either way it’s gay all day.

The end result looked far worse that the hosed-off version would have, had it not been gouged by the wire brush.
when he grabbed his wire brush and scraped the whole guitar lmao he coulda used a wet cloth instead or something less diabolical
Yep totally ain't no one just abondons a guitar and leaves it behind some leafs. He totally planted it for viewa

The best part of this video is when it ends
You don't even have to know anything about guitars to understand that water and wood don't mix.
What's your opinion on ramen and wood?
They hearted your comment
@@NewHunterMatt I'm assuming it was supposed to dry out the moist wood, like silicon or rice on a wet cell phone but it should never has been soaked in water to begin with. Much less painted with water based paint.
If I had to be reborn as a guitar in the next life, I definitely don't want to be this one
I don't know what's more annoying. The fact that he put the tuners on backwards or that he put steel strings on a classical guitar lol. This video is a joke.
I feel the pain of the guitar
I too
I have so many questions...
Why?
What the hell were you thinking?
Steel strings on a classical? That poor neck!!
The paint job?!! I mean...what?!
Noodles?!?!
And why?!
But what did this poor guitar do to deserve this?
I like how literally *everything* was done incorrectly in this video. It's more destroying the guitar instead of restoration.
You all are watching this video wrong. you have to watch it backwards.
Underrated comment right here fellas
Fucking dying here...13 minutes in
😂😂😂😂😂
*picks up phone, dials 911.*
"Yes, I'd like to report a crime."
MURDER...
Why he has so many likes?!?! Since I saw him using that instant soup to patch that hole, that was it.
I was done when he used a wire brush on it to get the mud off
The whole point of restoration is to actually restore something. I suggest you put it back where you found it and pretend the whole thing never happened
I lost it when he tried to wash the guitar with water 💀
Same also trying to use the noodles to fill up the hole 💀
The wire brush just hurt my soul. That guitar already been through a lot and this clown just abuses it more.
That got me too
He was fucking waterboarding that thing.
He tuned this shit in z v x n q k
XDDDDS
Its the right tuning to play indian music
Toni Resende Cuz it both sounds like shit
I'm amazed he even managed that with the tuners mounted backwards!
LMAOOO
This is the type of instrument restoration you can't even wish upon your enemies. Wire brush on wood is an overkill.
It makes me sad to see people destroy instruments like this.
I don't think you gotta worry about it, its a 40 dollar guitar from amazon lol
@@emilysixx8181 Phew i was worried for a while there XD
@@furthersquash8537 Yeah and i only know this cause I got one as a kid, its pretty much a toy, not funcional at all but I have a real guitar now lol
@@emilysixx8181 A real guitar as a musician is kinda good to have.
@@emilysixx8181 just because it's a classical guitar doesn't mean it's necessarily a kids guitar OR cheap 🤦♂️
If you watch this backwards it turns out better 😂
Isn't that what they did
@jim halpert exactly my point
I get this guy's point 😂
Yeah, that brown just looks so ugly 😂
Lol FR
that guitar looked better when was in the trash
Yes
At least then it had character... Now its like one of those hollywood elites that get plastic surgery but they get it from a dumb Vietnamese kid with a wirebrush, pliers, a bucket of soapy water and a hairdryer..
@@polackwizerd Accurate
The fluffy white cat in the background was gorgeous, but the rest...... oooh that was rough!
1: hairdryer is going to dry out and warp the wood from the heat
2: water + wood = warping , cracks, distortion.
3: wire brush did more harm then benefit.
4. You painted over the frets, which now need to be replaced if not polished to shit.
5: The TUNERS ARE BACKWARDS
Please never defile a musical instrument again
I’ll pay $5,000+ for this channel to be deleted, as a guitarist this was the hardest thing to watch.
Why?
SHAFIN MUSIC because he made the guitar look like an oversized ukulele, put incorrect strings on it, filled gaps with ramen noodles, etc.
@@RS-tp3uu that's your concern? He had no regard for the finish and wood (which was probably garbage anyway, but show some respect). He put on the tuners the wrong way (it's awful, but it certainly had me laughing my ass off) and he didn't even bother to tune the strings at all. I'm honestly surprised the neck didn't snap in half, or the bridge come right off.
Joke's on us. This guy made over 5k in ad revenue on this
Don't forget him sanding it down with an angle grinder
What nobody knows is that he now serves as a military surgeon, filling bullet wounds with noodles and saving hundreds
A wire brush? Spraying the fretboard with paint/shellac? Tuning keys put on backwards? Need I go on? OK, Steel strings on a nylon string guitar? Top Roman and Super glue? NO WAY!!!!!
The mud was more evenly applied than the paint
You painted THAT guitar evenly? Or poorly? Neither.
@@macarenarojo broo we know his is your second account lmao
Lol I can't 😂😂
A
Didn’t take out the frets
Didn’t tape the fret board so paint couldn’t get on it
Didn’t paint the headstock black
Didn’t paint the hole back black
Used noodles to patch up the hole
Put the tuners upside down
Didn’t tune it correctly
Didn’t do the original paint pattern
Used crappy music for this video
Painted everything turd brown
Painted the nut and frets
Used guitar strings on a nylon classical
What’s the brush for? If your gonna wash the guitar why use it?
And i don’t know how many more mistakes
Couldnt of said it better only thing id call them machine upside down but yh bang on lots of mistakes could of mad this wel nice
his first mistake was picking it up
The one thing you missed and honestly after the list you have I wouldn't blame you for missing it because it was too unbelievable to think the guy really repaired a hole in the guitar with Ramen noodles. But he did just that. To me this guitar is a total mess. You said it best when you asked "What's the brush for?" I thought that very thing when the brush came out.
Lost me at wire brush.
Thats not even the worst Thing he did to that guitar
тот случай, когда лучше оставить все как было...
I love the part of this video where instead of washing it first he takes a wire brush to it. I think we all know where the scratches came from. I would bet money this was a brand new guitar that he punched a hole in then covered in mud. That is why he did not wash it first, we would have seen the new finish on it.
I join your bet
Thanks. Next, you're going to ell us that Santa Claus isn't real. Very depressing. :o)
It's time to issue a restraining order to ensure this man never gets within 500 feet of a guitar again.
Hilarious
Pretty good job done here if you ask me
@@Tomislav_B. Remind me never to ask you then
@@fenderstratguy You don't have ask me, it's obvious that guy knows what he's doing. This is top craftsmanship!
@@Tomislav_B. Sorry I don't speak stupid.
WHY WOULD YOU TAKE A WIRE BRUSH TO THE ORIGINAL FINISH. You just guaranteed the fibers will never take the same shape again, poured plain water all over it to guarantee the fibers swell and set further in that condition, and then take a grinder to the surface, guaranteeing it will never hold the same tone again. Guitar tops are made to tap toned thickness, each top specifically engineered to get the best sound. You change the thickness by a fraction of a millimeter you alter the structural integrity of the guitar forever. You have to use gel stripper to get the finish off without damaging the surface. Cyanoacrylate wears down and falls out, especially when it is compounded with something as fragile as noodles, which will dessicate and vibrate until they fall out through regular playing. You have to use fiberglass with slow setting epoxy, or compounded wood filler, or another piece of wood. Any luthier should know NEVER to expose the inside of the guitar to moisture. That is bare wood. The fretboard should have been cleaned with carnauba wax and rubbing alcohol, oiled, and left alone. TAPE before you paint parts of the guitar that are supposed to be bare, like the frets, nut, bridge, fretboard, heelpeice, soundhole. Use a heat gun to take out pits from spray painting, enamel spray (not household paint) more than one coat on, french polish the final coat. You put the nut and tuners back on backwards. omg I'm pullling my hair out right now please stop please
Put the Tuners Knobs Upside Down Pointing Downwards ! ! ! Now you can take the guitar to a local music gear outlet and play "Stairway To Heaven", then go put the poor thing out of it's misery and bury "Mr. Bumpas" somewheres out in the North 40, play TAPS in honor of/to the instrument and for allowing it to go go gentle into that good night ! ! ! Now I have the song called, "The Weight" going through my head . . . 👍😎🎸🤘🙏
When my guitars misbehave I show them this video to scare them back in line.
:)) ığğğ!
BRUHHH😂😂😂😂
This actually hurts me.
as a guitarist, same for me
Ik 😭
i love how he hearted your comment. his intention must have been pain.
Great job. Couple of questions :
Can you use any flavour noodles for repair or do they have to be plain ?
Which brand of coffee is best to spray the guitar ?
Is this a full size guitar or are you very small ?
You can use a wire brush in an electric drill to remove the dirt quicker - just saying.
I agree, he did a really great job! Double thumbs up. Also I think dog shit would work just as good if you wanna be cost efficient. The smell would add the finishing touch it needs.
@@sebastianbancroft7184 I think human shit looks better but to each his own
@@aidanbillings8325 why did your dad let that happen to that poor guitar???
@@daverlb cheap dog shit gutair like that could not belong to my father he obviously has a fender tbucket 300 ce electric acoustic gutair
Por favor que alguien le quite la guitarra a este hombre, no puedo ver mas 😢
Vices
1: video was entertaining
2: his intentions were arguably good
Sins
1: the guitar in question is clearly new but destroyed for the sake of the video
2: cleaning dirt off a guitar with a wire brush will badly damage the finish
3: cleaning a guitar with water causes severe water damage to the fretboard causing it to warp which can lead to fret sprout and high frets
4: not taping off areas that shouldn't be sanded
5: top ramen and superglue is a terrible idea for patching holes because well noodles absorb moisture and flex easily where as something like sawdust and epoxy resin accomplishes the same thing and wont rot or absorb moisture
6: not sanding the grain filler all the way
7:wire brushes will scratch up your tuning machines just purchase replacement tuning machines or wet sand blast them
9: not taping off areas that won't be painted
10: installing the tuning machine plates backwards
11:installing the tuning pegs upside down
12: steel strings on a classical guitar creates too much tension and can warp the neck of the guitar aswell as lift the bridge, cause the heel of the neck to become dislocated from the body and can even crack the top due to the lack of X bracing
13: the lack of any proper setup ie. Truss rod adjustment and nut sanding/shimming
14: let's be honest the demo wasn't good.
15: the video has at least 5 ad breaks
16: lack of clear coat will cause the finish to wear out easily and blatantly looks worse
17: cosmetics. No rosette, no binding, no inlays, no headstock logo, and not even a pick guard.
The video is just a giant meme
@@elansleazebaganno no it isn't I actually watch this channel and there isn't a single thing that hints at that
Classical guitars rarely even have pick guards though 🤔
@@RuskingArms666 Pretty sure he was going off the fact he put steel strings on it, but I don't know.
@@Uber_Versace I said this video but you could be right, I hope not though
My friend, some of the things that destroyed this guitar:
-washing it in hot soapy water and heat treating it with a blow dryer
-patching a hole with tape and ramen noodles (*hey, I never thought I would say that sentence in my life!*)
-spray painting/staining the entire guitar at once including neck, frets and anything visible
dishonorable mentions:
-sanding the guitar's finish off including the guitar rosette decal and inlays
-sanding off/wire brushing the nickel plating on the key assemblies
-failed assembly of the key assemblies
Key points:
>The wood in a guitar is paramount to its sound. It is already treated and prepared to be a certain way. Water, heat, vapor, moisture, humidity, salts, mold, termites, perforations, glue, tape and so on disrupt, ruin, attenuate, and otherwise destroy that quality.
>Metal parts on a guitar have special metal coatings. Wire brushing or sanding them off leave them susceptible to the atmosphere and its elements.
>The wood should be uniform in a guitar. The proper way to repair the top side was to remove the neck, the edge inlay, then the topside, replace the topside, replace the neck, position the bridge and refinish to match with a new rosette decal, inlay or hand painted one (if you're creative).
>The neck was in the sun and weather elements. It should have been checked first to see if it was warped, damaged or bowed. A new neck might be required if the existing adjustment rod could not provide correction.
>Using a wire brush on any instrument is considered heathen. Never do it again for the rest of your life. Promise me. It's important. Okay?
>How a guitar plays is VERY important. You must check and adjust: the bridge, nut, keys, frets, and neck. You must also use the correct strings for the type of guitar you have such as nylon or steel. Strings must be the correct weight and diameter for your guitar. For a proper restoration you needed to check body integrity (which you would have done if you pulled the topside) for strong bracing, corner adhesion, loose or missing inlays & fret board separation at the neck joint.
>An inventory of the guitar's condition and missing or damaged hardware on the guitar would have been helpful such as key quality, missing end peg/pegs, inlay damage, markers, nut quality, truss rod, fret quality and any creaks or separations in construction.
In no way is this the entire checklist of a luthier who is a craftsman qualified to repair and produce guitars/parts. But it is written here so that you can have at your disposal some important aspects to the repair/restoration of a guitar. Essential to note is that a guitar is one of the most personal and integrated instruments a musician can bond with. Doing mean or obtuse things to a guitar can result in very nasty comments from otherwise good people to whom you are injuring their bonding experience with the instrument. In short, STOP doing what you are doing to guitars, it's hurting me.
John Valdez he spray painted the fretboard !
@@jonthehermit8082 -I know, man...I know...I just...I can hardly speak, brother. I feel you.
This ass hole who made this video had a long argument with me on how he is the best luthier in the world
He is a royal dipshit or this is a gigantic prank
Either way it’s gay all day.
It was more in tune at the beginning
I suggest he lay it outside the shed where he found it so time and Mother Nature can undo his “restoration”.
Phew. Honestly, I was getting a little addicted to restoration videos.
I am all cured now! Thanks to you!
I cried for that guitar. He even put the tuning knobs on backwards for the final insult to injury.
This is just... atrocious. No other words can come anywhere near describing how badly this pained me to watch
Also wtf with the tuning pegs
