Again me 😂.
I already told you that the guitars made in in Japan is awesome and flawless by any means!
But you just bring up a a rusty beauty left to roth to life.
Awesome job as always.
Greetings from Serbia.
Long live Japan.
All the best and stay safe my friend ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊🤘🇷🇸-🇯🇵 🙌🙌🙌
Pretty interesting neck joint. I thought it's deep glued, but in the reality it's even more interesting. Combines advantages of a glued neck and a bolt-on one at the same time
I really enjoy watching you give neglected and abused guitars and basses a second life.
This guitar looked like it was stored in a garage in the desert with no case, exposed to sandstorms and dry conditions. Nice job restoring it.
Damn! That BOCCHI THE ROCK riffs was so good! Good job on the cleaning. I hope you also do re-frets on your next videos. Keep it up!
Excellent restoration for a really beautiful old Greco Led Paul relic.
Of all of your restored guitars, this is my favorite. I would gladly buy this, despite the funky, one-screw neck mount! It comes with the best relicing, the natural kind!
このECG550はフジゲンで製造されたエピフォンジャパンのELP-55Cとヘッドデザイン違いの同型機だと思います。
そう思うのは独自の3点ボルトオンネックの構造が全く同じだからです。
グレコ製品はフジゲンでも製造されていました。90年代だと思います。
ボディ部分はエピフォン製品と共用されていたと推察されます。
試奏で星座になれたら弾いてるの凄い…しかもソロパートまで
온세상이 봇치다...
ピカピカになっていく様子が見てて気持ち良いです
ナットが崩壊しなかったのがすごい...
very satisfying.. it is amazing how well those Gototh tuners shined back up :)
I really love your work. I found your TH-cam videos about two months ago or so. I'm really glad I did.
What you are doing it's something I want to start doing. My problem is that people with guitars and that kind of shape still think they her worth more than they are.
One person whose guitar was as bad if not worse shape than the one in this video wanted what he originally paid for it! He claimed it's a classic and he knows what it's worth.
After six months online trying to stop it. The price was dropping every single week. I refuse to buy it even when it dropped to what I originally offered him. Weeks before that he had sent me an email and told me we could work out a deal. I just never responded.
Look forward to watching more from you.
Exuberance of youth, misunderstanding of the buyers premium, I can couch it nice ways, so as not to bruise ego's,but it is what it is, in the world of "vintage", let alone antiques?.
Крутая гитара, вернувшаяся с того света. Красивая и аккуратная работа 👍
Relaxing videos, but man, I love your playing style. I anxiously await the end of the video to see what you will play next! Very nice, thanks.
I watched this twice and enjoyed it very much. The way the bolts are hidden in the neck pocket is ingenious.
グレコの鳴りは流石に素晴らしい。感動したということは、感動したということです。
Nice work!
Those frets need to be re-leveled and crowned. It might even be a good candidate for a full refret.
On a plywood guitar, why waste money..
金属ブラシの代わりに、金属部分にスプレーを使用します。韓国では「PB-1」という名前で販売されており、ギターのボディとネックの汚れもよく洗い流します。たばこの煙からだと思います。
Love to watch this (instruction)video. My only question is how to install all the wire(s) which where taken off. I don't have a clue where and how to do that. Are there instructions how to connect the wire on the exact right spot (again) I would love to see that.
Respect for the job you did.
I bet that think stunk like a casino with all that smoke caked on it.
Awesome job! Those Greco’s are real sleeper guitars. Keep up the good work
I love when a new video of yours comes to life! ありがとうございます
It came off great! Loved it
Greatest invention of the 20th century by far....the electric guitar.
il looks like Gibson les paul jimmy page signature . awesome copy Awesome restoration
何より楽器自身が喜んでいますね!
バンアパ川崎さんパートで夜の向こうへ、優勝です!!!
12:33 I've found a good way to clean these small parts is to use some fine beach sand mixed with water and some industrial hand cleaner. Put these all together into a small plastic jar and shake together until the parts are clean. Works very well and doesn't leave many deep scratches compared to a wire brush.
So, do a thousands of miles trip to a beach. Wash your guitar. Walk back for decades. Man, you are old and forgotten, before you can play, that way. Ah, you ARE a Greco?
@@voornaam3191 you ok bro? You can buy beach sand from a hardware store.
That's a great tip. The hand cleaner will have a more coarse abrasive and limonene, a strong natural solvent.
@@mrbuttons1243 when I first tried it, I figured that if the soap was mild enough for skin, it's would be ok for screws etc. At work, I have been rebuilding a large, poorly maintained CNC grinding machine which has many small parts I have cleaned this way. Very effective and leaves a lovely bright finish.
Haz-Mat suit? I've never seen such a filthy guitar. Sounds good -- worth the effort.
Oh my God...I have seen too many guitars like these in my career...
As ever you did a magnificent job...
What career is that exactly? 8vr had several close friends who were guitar repairmen/luthiers and this isn't something they see. I'm old, seen more old guitars than I can possibly remember and have not once seen guitars in this condition yet this guy finds them every week,how is that? This is total buuls**t, wake up.
@@TeleCaster66 A career that started back in 1980 after I had graduated from a luthiery school in my native France 🙂
You might be older than me but I'm not a kid anymore either although I wish I still was 🙂
I don't know which country you come from but in France and Europe in general ( and in Japan too it would seem ) people love to "customize" ( or completely mess up ) their guitars and then they'll often come crying to people like us to fix them...Either that or they'll find these on yard sales or "flea" markets...
That said maybe the Japanese have taken trashing guitars to a much higher level 🙂 who knows ?
Have a good day Sir
Excellent work as always. I am dying to get my hands on one of those that one sounded really good. I’m gonna keep my eye open. They don’t come around in my area very often at all. I will search for the right one but that one looks great. Good job man.
I watch these while I practise guitar. Makes my playing better. Or that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.
Estupendo, como siempre. Greco hizo algunos instrumentos muy buenos. Valía la pena rescatar esa guitarra. Ehorabuena.
Essa guitarra é absurdamente boa.
This baby (I'm guessing 1980) was in an atrocious state... Good job cleaning her up 👍🙏
Japanese Greco's are amazing! I'd love to find an LP Custom like this here in Europe, but they're very few and far between.
I don’t have too much knowledge in guitars. Would these guitars be considered lawsuit guitars?
This is a late 80’s/early 90’s model and was actually built in Korea. You can tell from the headstock markings. I have an early 80’s made in Japan Greco.
@@markusantonio4866 Greco was one of the companies prevalent in the lawsuit era but this guitar was built in the late 80’s or early 90’s.
Nice cleanup, but you should have levelled and recrowned the frets, and i would have tried to wash the dirt off the body and neck better using polishing paste and would not have used the wire brush on the gold plated parts.
Wow, I've been dicking with guitars for decades and never saw a bolt-on like that. Cool design, nice cleanup. Some of those lawsuit-era Grecos are cool as hell
綺麗になっていくのは見てて気持ちいいですね。
Βeautiful guitar after being cleaned up. I like the bolt on neck which looks like a set neck. Greco later began making high quality Zemaitis replicas, both electric and acoustic. Pretty expensive they are though. Like all Japan-made instruments these days.
Ok so great job, it cleaned up nicely but ain't gonna lie a fret cleaning and fresh set of strings is all it needed imo bro that patina was amazing haha!
That’s a cool old Greco and sneaky genius how they camouflaged the bolt on design they could’ve put a strap button on the one exposed neck screw and hid it even more.
I wonder if they thought early on Gibson were hiding neck hardware ? Possibly they built some of the early Grecos based off photographs ? I never realized that some of the Japanese bolt on LPs were like that, it’s very cool though.
I don’t think a well designed neck joint is in anyway inferior to set and neck through. In many ways a bolt on is better especially if you ever get into modding and changing bridges you might need to change your neck angle a bit.
Реплика Гибсона? Мастер - и есть мастер. Красивая работа
Do you ever mention the stories behind the guitars, like where you get them from or who they belong or belonged to?
Isn't it kind of strange that you never see a guitar that dirty from any other country like they are in Japan , please tell us how you make these guitars that dirty .
Purple power would knock all that grime off within seconds.
一見セットネックかと思いきやボルトオンだとはビックリw
Great job though surprised you didn't remove that pickup cover before using a wire brush to clean it. I would be concerned that a lot of the rust and bits would get down under the cover. Looks fantastic though
What a transformation! It looks amazing now.
Wow, can you describe the smell of this guitar, please? Looks like it stood next to a smoker for the last 40 years, or it hung above the ventilation fan for a deep fry cooker in a Mexican restaurant lol Will you ever go into detail, listing the cleaning supplies you use, and what English equivalents we can find out here? Thanks, and GREAT JOB!!!
I love how the cleaning was very gentle, until the guitar playing kicks in 😅
That was a difficult one! Looks awesome.
Still needs some fret work in order to be playable!
That poor thing was super funky! Wow! Fantastic rehab on a nice guitar.
I don't realize where you find those instruments, but amazing job!
“Find” might me a strong term, and wildly inaccurate.
被災ギターですかね。"EGC-550" ─ 懐かしい響き
Agreed
Indeed
that’s the shortest scale length i’ve ever seen on an electric guitar
finally! a person who plays Bocchi The Rock songs on a Les Paul like guitar instead of the usual pacifica
汚れの感じだと町の小さな居酒屋で、壁に飾ってあったような雰囲気ですね。
まるっきり同じ意見‼️タバコのヤニと油汚れ(笑)居酒屋か焼肉屋だね(笑)
I LOVE the demo pieces at the end of your videos!
Great job! The meticulous work and dedication is enjoying to watch.
Sooo...that was actually a bolt on neck? Very clever, but mostly deceiving. Thank you for letting us know about this "trick" when buying an overseas guitar!
That's one beautiful guitar...great job.
Terrific job on the guitar. Small criticism: Any junk guitar can be used to play heavy metal or thrash, whatever. There's not a lot of difference between brands when its loud. Could you please play some cool jazz or some ballad style music as a demo when you finish your clean ups, please? That Greco is actually a sweet guitar. We would love to hear its rich sounds. Thanks.
Это как де надо "довести"до такого состояния инструмент?
I agree, totally. I'd like to hear the full scope of the guitar's' voicing.
自分も汚ギターは大好きです❗️
国産の厚塗り塗装だと汚れがキレイに落ちちゃいますねー
ボディはもちろんですがキレイになった指板みるとめっちゃ嬉しくなります😂
The Arpeggio lick. 上手い!!!
リペアもギターも上手い
Is Grecko a good well made guitar?
How much is that guitar worth now? I'm fascinated with Japanese made guitars. I have a 1990 Made in Japan Charvel.
Imagine what the walls and ceiling of the cigarette smoker who owned that guitar's house looked like.
Where do you find these old beaten up guitars? Everyone had them, but you just never see them.
Was really hoping I were going to refret it
Super really too good..🙏👍!!
Ma dove le trovi queste chitarre puzzolenti? Comunque i tuoi video sono molto soddisfacenti.
I have to say, the rusty hardware and pickup covers do like kinda cool.
Great video!
I tried to find PiKAL LC-303 and PiKAL LC-202 from an American supplier and couldn't. If anyone knows what a State-side substitute would be, I would love to know of one.
This guitar has been stored in a public toilet. Gibson imitations don't deserve much more...
Omg Bocchi the rock 29:00
how do you find of these guitars my goodness
I don't understand why people hate their guitars so much. Where do you even find those victims of neglect and abuse?
Great video ❤
I can't believe it's working , you did great job.
it would be nice to add more info on the guitar, model and date of production.....
Great job! You took us on a world tour with your playing, especially at 30:00.
But couldn't you paste the handle so as a cutting board the rear screw?
bocchi?!?!
very satisfying to watch, thank you🙏
I was watching a very dirty japanese clip to watching you clean a very dirty japanese guitar
What a sweet looking rig I'm drooling 🤤 😢😅😂❤
You did a incredible job 👏
Железную фурнитуру щеткой почистил исключительно😉
Borther can you tell me in english that what can I use for glossy finish guitar body?
Hello, very nice repro but overall, excellent restoration. Bravo Man, more videos like this one !!!
Where do you find these guitars as I can’t find scrap like this anywhere in the uk 😂
Liked to have heard bridge pickup
I see that Greco made a better headstock than Gibson did
Where does one find these guitars in their condition like this ?
I believe this is a late 80’s/early 90’s model and is made in Korea.
Era li chissa in che posto se si sentiva sporca soffriva ma un giorno sei arrivato tu e hai portato la luce nella sua vita😪🌕
Muchas gracias por compartir. Muy util esta informacion.
Was this guitar in a house fire, or kept in a barn/pigeon coop?
Not sure how a guitar becomes in such a condition in the first place it looked as if it had quite a bit of use at period of it's life.
I can't imagine it being sold at an auction in that condition. How did you come by it?
It was purchased through an internet auction.
@@studioasyl LOL, Not that I have been to many auctions but I really didn't expect a guitar in such condition to be put up for auction. Well you you learn something every day.
Thanks for the reply.
I used to have one, nice Black Beauty Greco Les Paul, sounded so cool. But a close friend of mine stole it and sold it.
