![Yamaha ERG121C electric guitar shines again! [4K] - 3D Printed Parts - No talking/music](/img/n.gif)
I am a retired Luthier. Did anybody else see how perfect the decals were on the neck, and no rust on the tuners. Even a blind man would tell you this is a big FAKE.
Its fake restoration
From the moment the scissors come out.
Luthier too and I agree so much : it's a RIDICULOUS FAKE !!
also notice how the pickups were all conveniently still usable, despite supposedly being left outside for god knows how long he wanted us to believe.
my strat from 2014 is having a neck pickup that has low volume output, frets almost flat from constant bending and playing. I put that strat in my room and it doesn’t even get exposed to sunlights. i wonder if this guy can help me rewound my pickups.
Smelled at rat the second I saw all that sawdust sprinkled onto the guitar. Baloney!
I’ve been a guitar enthusiast for 30 years. I’ve seen guitars in every conceivable condition of wear and disrepair. This is the most hilarious attempt I’ve ever seen of someone “restoring” a “dirty” instrument. Yes fellow commenters, it’s fake as hell.
It's sacrilege to do that to a guitar to make a video. 14:13 Serial number 11102308572 = (11) year 2011, (10) month, (23) factory Indonesia, (08572) serial number.
Just passing by to say that Jesus loves you and wants to forgive you of your sins, repent and surrender to Him
@@sr.satoshi9987 I am without sin. Also, unless Jesus is deputized, I'm not even surrendering my ID.
The neck is pristine, it's a fake.
I am very interested in those never-rusting strings 😂
😂😂
ajjajajajajajaj Elixir Definitive Edition
Exactly!!
This is so fake that it gave fale a whole new meaning
And what *competence* do *you* have to claim something ( *provable* ) about craftsmanship as shown in the video...?
🤔
Just a question.
@@28076130513B Its very easy to see that the guitar is newish and all the issues are hand made.
Look at the strings, no rust whatsoever.
The body besides covered in dirt is actually nearly pristine.
The wires have no sign of aging or wear n tear, which they should show it.
The pickups lack any sign of forgotten
When you prep/Fake something to make a video. just put a text in the beginning that states this, youll keep the respect. for example "Faked for entertainment purposes"
This is so fake it's not even funny. You clearly did the damage yourself then threw a bunch of dirt on them and wrapped it up like someone shipped it to you. If you're watching this and you believe he really got guitars in that condition you're way too gullible.
Had the same thoughts 💯
Why would he do that ❓
@@DH-tj6tfcontent?!
@@DH-tj6tf For content
thats how content work love, yall want more videos so they have to improvise. if he was to do a vid with actually messes up guitars it would most likely be a video once every few months bc ppl dont rlly trash or take bad care of guitars
Ruin the giutar and then restore it
Genius

@@helgryurikovich9546 да и не только в армии
This is fake. The "old" strings he's cutting at the beginning are new. Real strings from a neglected instrument would be a rusty crusty mess.
The Philips radio resto is interesting. The Epi guitar looked as though someone heat torched the new body and covered it in sawdust.
1 - Take a new guitar
2 - put it into a sandblaster
3 - wait 4 10 min
4 - et voila!
5 - restore and hipe
Except that's not how a sandblaster works..
You're spending that much time in a $200 Bolt On Neck Chinese Epiphone. Wow, you're nuts.
Fake af. Those strings looked clean at the cut point.
yep its fake the paint is coming off and yet the wood looks fresh with no dmg😂 even the strings looks clean and what's more the top is so dirty and yet the back looks clean and with a little bit of dusting and it will look good again, even the wirings looks new despite not having a cover on it the color didn't even fade😂
Whew, for a second there I was afraid he'd forget to put ungrounded shielding tape under those humbuckers. What a master.
Real o no me parece un gran trabajo, yo veo estos videos para entreterme pero hay gente que sólo quiere criticar y no tienen ni la mitad de habilidad que tiene este hombre para hacer estos trabajos😂
You performed about $375 billable hours worth of work on a $110 (used) guitar.
Reinstalled terrible tuning machines and electronics.
Why?
I scored one of these at a Flea Market for $20. I did all kinds of stuff to it just for the experience of getting to do it. I even dropped a set of SD invaders in it just because I can. You don't need reason to just do a thing.
Because this is nonsense.
For content?
Yeah. I noticed the lucite plastic knobs show no yellowing either..usually a telltale sign of age. Looks like a newer guitar covered with paint stripper then put into a deep freeze for a while.
At the :40 mark the neck is noticeably cleaner than at 2:40...
This hack must've gotten more of that crappy sand. 😅
🤣🤣🤣 It took longer to make it look dirty than it did to "restore" it! 🤣🤣🤣
so you think he will crash a ferrari just to restore it afterwards?? for what, for the clicks?? ffs, wake up man.
And what *competence* do *you* have to claim something ( *provable* ) about craftsmanship as shown in the video...?
🤔
Just a question.
Ferrari? That is a piece of crap Epiphone, in perfect shape it’s worth about $150, so yeah, I’m telling you this video is fake and you’re a 🤡🤡🤡
@@M4r1a_Schn33 Why are you saying 'the clicks' like that isn't how people make money on TH-cam? It's a blatant fake restoration job, done with very little skill or research.
@@M4r1a_Schn33a Ferrari? This is a 2011 cheap as chips Epiphone, like seriously, you're looking at no more than £150 new
Wha? (Not even worth the "t") . Agree with all the other comments but wanted to add how the restoration expert here didn't even know how to lift knobs. SAD!
Guitar looked like it was in a wet basement for years, but the strings looked brand new!!! And since when is Fender using plywood bodies?!?!
Fake or not, I still enjoy seeing it restored. I am not so cynical.
Just enjoy the process of restoring something to its close to the original piece. Thanks for sharing.🙏🙏🙏
This man left this guitar outside for 1 month, and now he has restored it....
а в чому сенс брати нормальну гітару, жучити її паяльною лампою, присипати брудом і видавати за Old?))))
Сенс в тому, щоб ти переглядав це відео
The walking machinheads screws are a funny touch. :)
Congrats! It's amazing the technic that you have to rust a guitar. The restauration is fake.
Parabéns pelas restaurações todas lindas e maravilhosas!!! Restaurar e criar faz bem, imagino o prazer que vocês sentem.
Lol the clean shiny strings
Literally watched the whole entire Fender resto for the headstock repair and you just bought a different headstock >< lol
Do you find a lot of abandoned guitars on the beach?
With magic self cleaning stings and logos.
Quando o cara desembrulhou e limpou a poeira já achei estranho... não deu outra, é fake 😂😂😂😂
Was this guitar rescued from the Titanic?

Don't store your guitar under water kids
I guess my only question would be regarding the strat. Why no grain filler before you painted it? It seems like that wouldve been better for that glossy wet look?
That neck that's broken was planned on to the squier body to make it look broken and then the real squier neck to that white body comes out so you know its all staged. That neck that he refretted for no reason belongs to that body in the first place so it's all staged.
Too bad because that squier neck looked really cool aged the way it was. Should have respray it white again put the original neck on without refretted and sanded down and put white plastics on it and it would have been perfect and vintage correct.
Obviously fake and why spend all that time and effort on a $300 guitar?
Answer: Because he is *able* to do it, just *for fun,* for *selling* them, because restoring is *cheaper than buying new instruments,* and...
...because expensive originals are rather rare lying around forgotten in backyards, in damp cellars, and bulky waste where they rotten over years or even decades...?
🤔
Just a few examples of *many* possible reasons.

@@28076130513B "because expensive originals are rather rare lying around forgotten in backyards..." No they goddamned aren't. That's the lie these stupid videos tell. No no no there's no electric guitars just lying around all over the place. What a fool to believe such obvious nonsense.
@@28076130513BYou should get your brain checked
@@28076130513B Real easy... Buy cheap used guitar, throw junk all over it, "restore" it, make money on YT.
You can tell it is fake just by the strings, strings rust just from playing them normally. If the whole gutar is a rusty mess, those strings would be rusted out like crazy.
Also, the paint on the first guitar is WAY too thick, he smeared something like melted sugar all over the natural wood body and that is the crunchy flakey shell around the guitar that easily comes off with a scrape. On top of that, the wood under the paint is stained, they do not stain wood to then paint over it on any guitar, especially not on a $200 guitar.
It’s not a $300 guitar. That’s a $150 guitar. It’s the cheapest epiphone ever made. And they didn’t make them too long ago. That’s why I know this is fake.
Not one screw missing! Incredible.
Pure comedy. Thanks for the laugh, restorer person.
Restaurada guitarra 🎸😉
The refret was clssic.......acting at its best😂😂
I have the same Squier from 90s. I want to do the same work
What did you spray at 27:04 on the bridge? Thanx
From reading all the comments, the guitar wasn't really that damaged. I like watching restoration videos. Is what this guy did, still viable restoration techniques? Yes, he could have been honest about it but if what he's doing is how you restore it, isn't that worth something?
Is there a reason you didn't test the neck bend, fret height etc.... this is 90% more important than anything else...
The art lies in how they manage to get things that dirty, you gotta give them that at least 😂
How many guitars do you have exposed to the elements in your backyard?
Do you tested it for radioactive?
you do not clean frets like that
A tip, instead of paint remover … try use a hot air gun and scrape the paint of.
Just curious how much you sold the Fender for?
I think thisvis my live. But i'm not a luthier. Perphas i will do some learn nowa days on this kind of videos.
Gracias amigo!
I watched both rebuilds. At 2x speed. I enjoyed both. Why not upgrade since you were going to all that trouble?
Because its fake
Oh well.
@@saamo1423
Amazing how the strings weren’t rusted up, considering how bad the guitar has been made to look, fake I would say, my strings normally get rusty when I leave it for a few months unplayed, so why were these ok.
Hey i have a yamaha pacifica (fender knock-off) that i want to change. If i sent it to you, could you do the work?
When you spray oil on volume/tone pots, or any electronic parts, make sure it is dialectric oil. Regular WD-40 or the like can damage contact surfaces or short out the current.
Obviously fake.
And what *competence* do *you* have to claim something ( *provable* ) about craftsmanship as shown in the video...?
🤔
Just a question.
I wasn't talking about the craftmanship. The damage was fake to set up the video. I have an engineering background and I have restored over 100 vintage electronic devices. The damage to this guitar was not natural. It was most likely done by leaving it under water in a creek or irrigation ditch.
and not one stripped screw ya right LOL
That is not a real Fender strat. At 29:40 you can see that the body is plywood. The Fender doesn't do that.
Correct sir, poss a 90s Korean squire or some random eastern body.

very nice restoration

may allah give you more success in this world and in the hereafter

...and 72 virgins.
and a free vest
You should've just cleaned up the wiring and brushed off the dirt and sealed in the cracked body work. Somebody would think it was custom beat up and could play hard.
Why strings are not rusted?
You should restore Tony Iommi's guitar. Chris Holmes also has dead guitars.
Epiphone Les Paul specials are not even vintage, the strings are brand new, you can tell where they used paint, this is so fake it’s not even funny.
this does seem fake like they took a guitar and buried it in a sandy beach
O cara tomando o maior cuidado do mundo pra não pegar tétano 😂😂😂
This model has only been around for 5 or 6 years I bought one for less than 200 when they first came out. So not only a fake restoration but really not worth the effort anyway.
looks fake..somebody just dumbed dirt on the Epi..
you are truly extraordinary.. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 salute
Knob removal I use two spoons opposite sides of the knob
I always get the feeling that a lot of these resto's have been fucked up on purpose....like soaked in tea and salt then thrown up on the roof for 3 months or something...
Great band
The tune-o-matic bridge was mounted backwards
Gibson Les Paul budget variant?
Perfeito e excelente trabalho profissional !
isnt the paint remover not very toxic ? isnt it ?
carefully wrapped up the guitar with dirt on top. That in itself is worthy of... oh no wait
❤🎸❤MY ELECTRIC GUITAR AND BASS ARE GRATEFUL TO YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. WE AREN'T NEEDING RESTORATION, BUT ONE MIGHT COME ALONG THAT NEEDS HELP. ❤🎸❤
In order to obtain content, a person subject himself to this type of deception, it is obvious that he himself buried this guitar in the sand and after a while he came to show that he is repairing something that he himself damaged.
Where did they dig up the Les Paul?🤔
Кстати, под хамбакерами экранировать посадочные места - абусрд.
Saw the exact same video as a yard sale. Fender restoration . So is it a fender or an epiphone
The second one looks legitimately beat up. Nobody stuck around for that one it looks like.
he got a deal on the plywood body "Fender Sandocaster" $1.99 , I recon the replacement neck cost 2 or 3 hundred though? 😁
Is it a les Paul, or a Stratocaster?
The pre-drilled board for the Epiphone to help you clean all the screws was genius.
I'm filing that idea away for future use.
Pity you could not save the paint on the Epi - might have looked epic with the checking on it.
It's a 2011 Epi with a poly finish. No way that the "checking" is in any way genuine, it would have been a result of whatever ungodly stuff this guy did to the guitar before he "restored" it
Фендер сделан из фанеры?
Should have left the finish on the strat, 1000 grit, clear coat. People love relic guitars.
Personally, I don't understand the craze for paying a premium for deliberately damaged guitars. I have a '68 SG Standard I bought when I was a teenager. I'm now 71. The guitar has 56 years of dings, nicks, and scratches that it actually earned. Would you buy a new, pre-damaged car?
🥰🥰✌
this is gotta be the worst guitar before fixing, that paint fallling off takes alot of damage to create that...
The question right from the beginning are : Why the sands stay so perfectly on the top of this guitar ?
The second question after that : Oops, I'm gone......
😮.. so odd. Someone left it out in a rainy mud puddle for a week...(probably less). Then dried it in a oven. Or on a dedicated heatn source..to get the poly finish to flake after water absorbed.. and hit with a hammer. (Yes I also swung a 20oz hammer for 25+ yrs as a carpenter. I'm not trying to disrespect your video. Just pointing out oddities .. then after all that to make it .. idk. ? Like this? Then they went and put on a new set of Strings?!??!? Because when you cut the strings off. They weren't rusted. As a guitarist who does a bit of work on Guitars. I can tell You. Strings rust Very easily...at least signs of pitting will be evident.. but. Hey. It's a fun video.. I personally don't care for pristine finishes.. I play my guitars and prefer them to be. And look played .. but. Hey. To each their own.. awesome wood grain on the fretboard...very visible and distinctive... great video 👍🎸.
.. I'm scratching my head at some of the things I'm watching you do.. like oil the heads of screws a that are merely dirty. Wipe 'em ofc with a oily rag. The threads more than the heads.. but. .. what I find. Strange. Is those tuning keys .. you spent more on electric and tool wear and oil than buying a new set for $14. Or $7. . I get That it's a restoration. But at some point it becomes comical to go the extra mile to get crappy components back to their full luster.... Just Saying..
I don't get it. What was so special about this guitar to warrant such a pains-taking, time-consuming, restoration? Epiphones were priced merchandize certainly not in the same class as the Les Pauls. Is this a particularly rare specimen that predates the Gibson takeover? Was it once used by Del Shannon or someone equally famous?
This guitar was found by Egyptologists during excavations in a 5,000-year-old tomb, along with the first Roling Stones music cassette.🤣
King Tut used it himself
The new stainless steel strings 😂
i would be more impressed if the guitar was a (set neck) instead of a bolt-on.
What the hell happened to the truss rod
Why did he loosen the bridge posts before removing. Oh yea, and HOW did they unscrew like brand new?
What is happend whit this guitar . It takes so much time Was it that wort .
I agree that this stuff is painfully fake, but there’s no way the natural woodgrain on that Epiphone was pretty enough to leave it as it is. It definitely needed paint. He took the lazy way out.
Be careful with those scissors, you may scratch the paint.
Looks like someone glued beach sand to it. Body chipped in areas that don't make sense and no chipping anywhere else. The Head Stock is perfect! Fake Restore!
