My brother knocked over his 60's Gibson Acoustic Firebird. Sent me a picture of the head stock broken off. I called him immediately. He is in his 70's and bought it very close to new. When he answered I said "Man are you ok". He cried for a few minutes. That was tough. He ended up having a guy in NYC fix it for him. You couldn't tell. Great job on this one! I think I said OMG like 10 times watch this! You sir are an artist.
Amazing video! I restored my best friiend's, who passed away in 91, old 1982 P Bass Special in Candy Apple Green (never produced, NAMM special.) Most it it was on the neck as mold had gotten under the lacquer but a good bit of work on the frets and cleaning up all the old hardware as well. I had hoped to get that bass for over 30 years and my friend, our former singer, who had it gave it to one of my son's who is a bassist. Once restored we normally only play it around the house but he did use it for some of his Sr Pic for HS and I played it at a couple of conventions where I played bass rather than lead. Everyone who sees it is just in awe. I didn't know, and doubt he did either, that it was never a production model but just to show off the 1983 color for the P Bass Elite until I got offers for it from some P Bass collectors... It means the world to us though and we plan to keep it in the family to honor my friend... hopefully for generations.
I'm an amateur luthier myself. I've done a neck reset pretty similar to this on an Epiphone Les Paul. Someone had dropped it and separated the neck. Their solution was to try to make it a bolt on. they had done a fender style neck plate and a 5th screw angled up to pull the neck into the pocket. Honestly, it wasn't a bad repair, all things considered. it was just an orc repair. I repaired it properly and we refinished it in a silver edge burst
That’s amazing work and I’m a guitar repairer here in England. Re pickups(in England anyway) a lot of people want a Les Paul that looks like a 59/60, but want it to sound like a 70s one! It took me a while to work that out.
Awesome video! I once sanded down my dad's 1980 The Paul that he had badly refinished in some kind of cherry sparkle. I took it to a luthier and he told me he'd have me learn how to do it. I sanded id down in several passes and buffed the headstock (which was natural from the factory but refinished in gloss black). Guitar looks great now.
Beautiful work on a beautiful guitar.my guitar teacher had an 81 Les Paul custom he would use in our lessons it played wonderful, .. back in 1987 , and I'd had not yellowed yet, just a light cream still.
Ive done many repairs myself. Mostly because i love buying broken instruments for a heavy bargain and bringing them back to life. This one came out great. My latest was an epi 59 outfit with broken headstock and heal. $1,000 retail and I got it for $299 brand new but broken. A bit of work and she plays better than new. It is just rewarding.
You rarely get the chance to see major restorations like this on vintage guitars because the more you mess with the original (especially a refin) the more you reduce its value value. But when a guitar has already been violated and left on death's door like this one you have no choice. This was very fun to watch.
work with wood. had no clear idea how to get that neck out.now i do .what a job he has done, its beautiful . built kits to learn set ups and fret work and such, man is amazing you did get the right man for the job!
Did a similar on a SG. Guy had repaired with dowels on headstock, destroyed overlay and insert, used dowels to repair broken neck and also some mahogany insert wrong grain direction! Cut holes in front for different electronics, sanded it with maybe 40 grit so shape was all wrong! BUT.. because it was such a collectible, a locally renowned and famous blues guitarist bought it to me like that after they gave up on restoring. It had 4 old levels of finish. It also looked like it had been dragged behind a truck for a few miles! I’m retired @ 74 and only do a few special guitars now that have NO short timelines! This one took 4 months! Opppps can’t post pics, sry, new subscriber.
Truly outstanding restoration job. In the end it sounds amazing again, very full and noticeable harmonics, most players wouldn't tell it sounds different compared to a factory new one. I rather prefer bolt on necks, in case of a disaster the repairs or neck replacement will be easier. About the sound and sustain, there's the never ending debate on bolt on vs set neck, but there are some testing videos on TH-cam where bolt on neck guitars actually give a bit more sustain and sound great too, having both guitars in common same body build, fixed bridge, same pickups, and the neck fits fine and holds the body with no bolts. Thanks for the video.
Mark Kaiser of Fret Repair in Franklin Ohio used to do some amazing work. He’s partially retired but man he’s one of the best. This is an amazing job too!
This guy is absolutely amazing at his job!! I do guitar repairs myself but not to this extent for sure. It takes so much patience to do this stuff. Aamazing job!!!!
My dudes, as a performing guitarist and former guitar workshop employee, I want to say that an amazing job has been done. Skill cannot be replaced by anything else and such people are very valuable in our industry.
Amazing work, and it is the attention to the details that matters. I'm in the middle of replacing a truss rod in one of my guitars, and it's been an education, the biggest lesson so far is not to rush; any errors so far have been because I've rushed what I was doing, this stuff takes time to get right.
I have a 90s ibanez ag series hollowbody at luthier jim dacavas shop . a previous luthier closed up one humbucker hole and the coresponding pots. then put at least three coats of crappy black paint over the original burst and all the binding . they also changed the fretboard for some reason. jim is redoing most of it ,im doing the electricals myself.
This wasn't just a restoration, it was a resurrection. I assume you're keeping this one. Since you asked... I'm an experienced woodworker and have done this kind of work and made wrecked/ruined guitars better, maybe unnoticeably repaired unless you know what to look for and where, but nothing like what Alex has done here. A true work of art and labor of love. Respect!
I have an 83 LPC in the same color and it was in the same condition when I bought it for $1100 15 years ago. Completely refinished the guitar in vintage white and had new frets installed and now I'll never sell it!
Save a les paul with similar issues that was recovered from a flood/storm😢. Neck was also coming off, binding was coming off and the flamed top was split right in the middle. I was able to carefully reglue it back, level and recrown and glue the top back together. It now plays great and looks the part too
I don't do set neck guitars for this exact reason. Bolt on necks only. I always figured that if you wanted a set neck bolt on, mate the surfaces and just add the wood glue ? Not quite the same neck joint, but close enough. I can't tell the difference between the bot on neck or the set neck for any guitar I've even played for music. Must be something to that, Clapton & Jeff Beck play bolt on necks and I know Clapton used to play a Gibson LP before he started performing with Fender products. So even my LP's are bolt on Epiphone or Mitchell guitars. And the 4 screws, the CNC neck pocket tightness, those hold in place just fine without requiring glue. I just don't see a reason to glue the neck into the body at the neck pocket. That's how good $ 100-300 Chinese builds have gotten. And if wood surfaces shrinks or swells, shims are exactly what the reset on this neck involved just the same. I do appreciate the refurbished Gibson video, just steers me toward a bolt on neck guitar even more.
wow what a job. i wish i could find someone like that to apprentice for about 2 years maybe 3 . i guess we can all dream right lol. he did a wonderful job on a unplayable guitar. i have done a few neck brakes all epiphone i was right on the scarf joint which was pretty easy the other was a head stock that was right behind the nut which i only have to finish it. but nothing of this caliber he is a great craftsman great video.
Wow! Pure Artist and Craftsman! Such incredible work on your Les Paul. Years back, had a slight hairline crack on a Les Paul. Top side of neck, near headstock. Brought it to South Side Guitar Center, where I purchased it. They sent it to Chicago Music Exchange, where they performed a headstock/neck repair. The work that CME performed was flawless. Color matched the cherry finish. Repair is undetectable, and well, perfect. This is why appreciate what your Luthier, Alex performed on your Les Paul. Hats off! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Колоссальная работа конечно. Восстановить практически убитую гитару. Но есть вопросы к установке ладов - сейчас мастера научились ставить лады с торцами в виде капелек , что очень удобно при игре и не режет руку , и также при установке отрезается ножка лада по краям , чтобы при усыхании/увлажнении дерева ножка лада не вылазила по краям грифа. А так всё круто.
I worked as 17-19 year old in a music/luthier store, so I started setting up guitars and fixing amps and designing stomp boxes (I studied EE). An slowly the owner let me do guitar repair, I fixed several Gibson headstocks (terribly poor design) but nothing at this level. I did however found something slightly worrying with pleking (fret levelling), he didn't have level gauges underneath the neck you can't guarantee your neck is straight and thus flat without feeler gauges. My employer had a rig with 4 gauges below and we first set those to 0 sometimes you need to set tension on the neck to straighten it out. Maybe this guy had only a hand gauge and made sure and we didn't see it. But I've seen lots of video where that stepped is just not done and there's no way in hell you have a level fret board then. Usually an older neck is concave because it's pulled that way by the string tension. So you need to tighten the truss rod and even pull down on the headstock usually to get it perfectly straight. I always hated pleking (fret levelling) :D I loved the painting and filling, but most I loved designing stomp boxes. A lost art with today's awesome amp modellers and DSP stomp boxes, we can do it perfectly in code.
Mixed bag this job is for me. Some of the stuff is top notch (refit of the neck, the color matching) and some not so much. But why aging the paint and the putting two shiny brand-new pick-ups in? Doesn’t fit at all. The pick-ups should have been aged to fit the rest of the hardware. Also, the closed holes in the back show through the new paint and an absolute no go for a restoration of a Les Paul Custom is to remove the bindings at the end of the frets. Yes, it is a bit more work, but they can be kept. They are an important part of the optics of a Les Paul and also the haptics when playing. I own an ‘84 Les Paul Custom in wine red (first owner). Got it as a present from my dad back then when I was 15. That was the guitar I really learned to play on.
It’s sad that someone with the financial wherewithal to afford a LP Custom would damn near destroy it due to incompetence and being too cheap to pay for a proper repair. Great rescue.
Boy that was ooogly inside that neck pocket..Great job on a really big job though..I don't quite have that patience.I'd probably get frustrated about halfway through and end up doing more damage than was there originally..lol..You oughta see me on the golf course 😂😂😂
Is there any way to purchase this?! Huge randy rhoads fan. Or hell, I’d even be willing to trade. I have a 90s model les Paul special? It’s basically same color lol but tv yellow. Also have a newer Gibson player plus premium.

I would've stripped the finish and resprayed the whole guitar.
Don't paint guys, That looks terrible, Great neck reset but You gotta be kidding.
My brother knocked over his 60's Gibson Acoustic Firebird. Sent me a picture of the head stock broken off. I called him immediately. He is in his 70's and bought it very close to new. When he answered I said "Man are you ok". He cried for a few minutes. That was tough. He ended up having a guy in NYC fix it for him. You couldn't tell. Great job on this one! I think I said OMG like 10 times watch this! You sir are an artist.
investments like that really do mean everything to the owner

Beautiful restoration! My 87 is super yellow like that one. Still smells like smoke when you get up close as take a whiff. 😁

Awesome. My best guitar is a 1978 Deluxe heavily modified. Brass nut, with Dimarzio Super Distortions
I Love, Love, Love watching craftsmen do their thing... I'm the crapsman that does the kind of work you are fixing...

One of the biggest Les Paul artists of the 80's was Steve Clark (RIP). He's the one I think of most. A fine restoration. Thanks for sharing.

I have a 1980 black Gibson LP Custom that has aged like that one but is 100% solid.....all the cream binding is orange/amber; I call her, "Amber". 😍
I also have a black 1980 custom. It came with factory chrome hardware.
1989 lp standard sorta cherry sorta tobacco burst. Sings like a bird

I have a white standard that's yellow now. Lacquer yellows with age.

That was one of the most satisfying repair videos I’ve ever watched! Yeah!!
I'll never tire of these kind of guitar resto vids,...done in your own style of course, really good watching.👍

Love this video of guitar restoration! Alex is a wizard!
Great work. I don't understand all the hate for the Norlin era Gibsons. Much of the music I adore was created on those axes.
excellent work !!! look very clean and professionally done !!
Save a les paul with similar issues that was recovered from a flood/storm😢. Neck was also coming off, binding was coming off and the flamed top was split right in the middle. I was able to carefully reglue it back, level and recrown and glue the top back together. It now plays great and looks the part too
Do you still have it? Maybe show it in a video
I did the same restoration on a Les |Paul. Very difficult.
Dang he did a bang up job on that restoration!! Bravo Alex!
Hard job. Good job!
Great video - great editing - Alex is amazing luthier. Really enjoyed

Great story and incredible restoration ... talented!!!🤘 The guy is a rock star

Great job! Congratulations 👏
Stunning work. Done many of these types of jobs.
NEAT GUITARS - ALEX GUSTAFSON's work is astonishing, great to witness. Les Paul Custom sounds awesome as well. great guitar.. Thanks..
God...this came out so good. I've always wanted one of these.
Restored an Gibson es125. Complete strip, refinished, electronics, frets, the works.
Fantastic restoration, what a craftsman 👌🏻👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Fantastic work now that's a guitar worth saving 🤘
Great to see professional people at work😊
Love a resurrection story, fantastical work!
Excellent work a very skilled luthier
Would love for him to put bone appointments on my J45.. 😮
What a incredible Guitar and a amazing safe... Well done. Best Regards Nik
So pleasing to watch. End result was great, reminds me of my nicotine yellow 1980's Custom. Cheers.
I’ve done a few explorer restorations. I strip them all the way to bare wood tho.
What an artist! Looks phenomenal and sounds great too.
should use hide or fish glue for the set neck joint, my opinion anywho.. what they used at the factory . . . looks fookin great and sounds great
Nice! A black pick guard would really set it off over the top.
Pickups sounds great
Mixed bag this job is for me. Some of the stuff is top notch (refit of the neck, the color matching) and some not so much. But why aging the paint and the putting two shiny brand-new pick-ups in? Doesn’t fit at all. The pick-ups should have been aged to fit the rest of the hardware. Also, the closed holes in the back show through the new paint and an absolute no go for a restoration of a Les Paul Custom is to remove the bindings at the end of the frets. Yes, it is a bit more work, but they can be kept. They are an important part of the optics of a Les Paul and also the haptics when playing.
I own an ‘84 Les Paul Custom in wine red (first owner). Got it as a present from my dad back then when I was 15. That was the guitar I really learned to play on.
Nice job!!! Randy's is a '74 wich have a mahogany neck , not maple neck...like most of 77...81...very different sounding guitars
It’s sad that someone with the financial wherewithal to afford a LP Custom would damn near destroy it due to incompetence and being too cheap to pay for a proper repair.
Great rescue.
Looks great he did a good job. I would love it
I don't know man. Doesn't look good to me. You better ship that mellow yellow L.P. my way so I can see 4 myself 😉🎸👍🤘
No dude,. Honestly, it's not worth it. I'll take it instead & save it at my house or maybe use it as wood for the fire . Just a beat up old guitar
I love to have that guitar... and the color is beautiful!!!!
He did a phenomenal job.
Boy that was ooogly inside that neck pocket..Great job on a really big job though..I don't quite have that patience.I'd probably get frustrated about halfway through and end up doing more damage than was there originally..lol..You oughta see me on the golf course 😂😂😂
Excelente trabajo, quedó genial amigo. (Great job, looks cool men)
the nut didn't need any work? and were the original pups lost?
Hi Ed! Yes, a new nut was made. You typically need a new nut with a refret. The pickups were swapped before we got our hands on it.
@@neatguitars1664 Thanks!!
Fantastic job!
A real insight!
Wow, my 3 pickup '81 custom is in better shape than I thought haha. I just want to restore the paint 😢
How did he align the neck angle? I don't think it shows that in the video.
This is what i exactly needed to see after watching a couple of Scar My Guitar videos 😅
Do the fretwork before you for you or are you tented to the body attach it to the body
Guitar looks amazing , love it
Great Work!
" TO BOLDY GO WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE" ...
Congratulations 👏 amazing job
Great work only thing it could have used would be some aged gold distressed pick up covers amazing work
He does incredible work. I wonder what the total costs involved to get the finished product were?
Very nice work doe on the paul
Best video yet!
I live about 25 miles north of Pittsburgh and I would love to buy a set of those pups .
Absolutely a wizard! No joking!😱🤘
This stuff is so satisfying to watch
Is there any way to purchase this?! Huge randy rhoads fan. Or hell, I’d even be willing to trade. I have a 90s model les Paul special? It’s basically same color lol but tv yellow. Also have a newer Gibson player plus premium.
