You are the man. I wish you were my neighbor.
When it was broken it ceased to be a guitar. You made it sing again. I’m impressed! Great work!
Phenomenal job Big D. Well done. I remember seeing this at the outset and thinking, no chance.... I was very wrong. Hugely impressive
thank you
The amount of work that went into this is just mind blowing. Lots of thinking outside of the box too which is just priceless content to put out there for everyone, well done!
thanks!
Dude, that routing jig you made for the back of the neck was insane. Great work, man, you just made that a better guitar than it was before. That neck is absolutely gorgeous.
thanks buddy!
Seeing this video gives me cold chills. I have one of these that I bought new in 1980 and have owned it for 44 years.
This guy is a woodworking genius hands down!!!
thank you!
While I was watching this video I kept saying "wow!... wow!...'. What you did to make the repair was amazing! You should feel very proud of what you accomplished.
The amount of work and time it took you to resurrect that guitar is mind blowing. You are incredibly honest in your critique, but I think that’s what has made you a craftsman. You should be proud.
thank you!
Always jaw dropping skills, keeping a great guitar alive for many years, always worth the struggles, incredible.
Fantastic refit Derek! Be proud of your work! It is fabulous!
wow, you did woodwork I did not know was possible. like grafting a neck back together into one cohesive piece. so much work.
Good to see you have the tools and the PATIENCE! Beautiful.
You have came a helluva long way since Chicago,man.Congratulations on your persistence and success.
Keep up the fantastic work.
Jawdropping work. I was sort of laughing at the fact that you have so many crazy tools but a pair of scissors does the trick to get the post out. I would do the same! Amazing restoration.
I hope the owner of this guitar understands what just happened here... you brought this guitar back to life! Great work man!
Beautiful work, sir. I’ve watched a bunch of your vids and you always impress. I’m inspired to begin working on some guitars of my own that have needed repairs for many years. When I screw them up, I’ll reach out to you to fix my mistakes. Lol
My hats off you brother. Great job on resurrecting the beauty! 💪🏻
This man can literally make a brand new high end Guitar of his own.... This very repairing process is a lot difficult than making a new one....
yes so much harer
The all-in-one vid is a great addition. It was a marathon timeline getting this big job done.
thank you
The video I’ve been waiting to watch. Excited!
"I am amazed at the level of skill that you have in repairing this work of art, a Gibson Les Paul 25/50 Custom guitar!"
Really good job! It's so painful to see that previous repairs can cause more harm if done wrong. Sadly I face this regularly. I'm partially cleaning up previous repairs before actually starting the repair or restoring.
What an outstanding repair and redo of this guitar and the video are awesome !
The fact that almost of the imperfections you mentioned are tiny cosmetic concerns after the kind of work you had to do to this thing is nothing short of incredible
The knowledge & skill displayed here is unreal. I can’t imagine the cost for a repair of this magnitude and craftsmanship.
Saw you on reddit, I'm digging the content. You do great work and it shows.
thank you!
Wow just wow. I'm speechless! Awesome!
Stunning work Sir!!! You are a true artist.
I had one of these for 15 years and sold it. It was in immaculate shape for its age. The pickups were beyond hot. I had to replace a tuner that got broken. Was lucky to find another one that was of the same vintage. The tuners were only made for that guitar.
Sad to see this one so broke, but really great job fixing it!!! Really great job.
thank you
Super cool guitar to repair, you really did an amazing job. Thank you for sharing this.
My ‘77 Les Paul Deluxe has maple veneer under the maple top like that as well. Apparently very common. I didn’t know it for years until someone said a lot of Les Pauls from then had that, and took a look for myself.
Really great repair. One heck of a lot of work. Like the idea of fretting it without the nibs. Nibs are cool, but I like the extra playing surface of overhanging the fret end on the binding. Gonna have whoever I find to refret mine do the same.
Always impressive watching a craftsman at work.
I really congratulate your effort and persistence. You deserve an A plus+ score!!! 👍👍👏👏
wow... amigo es la mejor restauracion de un brazo roto que he visto... lo hiciste muy bien.. felicitaciones!!
I wish I paid more attention in woodwork class, that was outstanding, brilliant job 👍👍
haha
Wow, that turned out incredible!
Truly an astonishing piece of work Derek.
thank you
Dude, this came out beautifully. I've never seen a bridge like that and I am all sorts of intrigued by it.
That job is simply fantastic!!
If there is something nicer than play guitar, is to play a broken guitar that fixed yourself. Congrats dude, that's some flawless work!!
i'm exhausted just watching the video. great completion
Wow, that’s a fantastic job !! ✨👍
Great work- beautiful sounding guitar with a real history...it's a survivor!
thank you!!!
Stellar Repair! 👍🤘🏼
You truly are a straight up Professional , I’ve only heard of luthiers like you man..great work! GOAT status!
So impressed with all the made jigs to do the work and the skill too pal 👍🏻👏🏻
Man, it's not just repair, it's god damn restoration, completely another level of skills or craftsmanship, whatever you call it. Some dudes just say: nah, it's beyond repair, i'll buy/make new one... But this one was something different))). You save this guitar and it's still the same guitar)))). Almost ;)
Fantastic work, Derek!
Fret-over-binding is the way to go. It's more playable than the standard Gibson installation practice.
awesome work, awesome backing tracks
Another great restore project! Derek, the amount of work and passion you put in is so great to see. You do full rebuild stuff a lot of people wouldn't touch. The neckwork alone was impressive and very well done, and it blends right in well. I wouldn't worry too much about the cosmetics. Don't sweat the small details too much! You saved a guitar that may have been retired forever and made it playable again and that is the most important thing. It a nice player's grade axe now and is not so valuable it has to be babied. The owner will treasure it though anyways, I just know it. If the owner picks it up again and again and enjoys it than it was all worth it. I love fully bound Gibsons. It may be extra work but the look is so classy and cool! It's still a wicked stunnah as we say up here in Maine! Haha..
Beautiful!
Epic repair. Truly inspiring 🙏
Masterful job! Wow!
EPIC! VERY IMPRESSIVE WORK!
Dude that restoration is insane... Especially the neck!!! Wow. Take a bow!!
thank you!
Wow, I just play them. You have a LOT of skill at this dude. GREAT job and nice video.
That repair is damn immaculate! Very impressive work.
thank you
Sincerely hope you get a dedicated workshop. The calibre of your work demands it.
Really nicely done!
At this state you pretty much rebuilt the whole neck! Nicely done👍
Nice job! Beautiful.
Outstanding!!!
Wonderful job.
Everything looks great!!!
Nice job! I didn’t realize you had such good guitar chops! Love the T-shirt!
Amazing job
I had one of those guitars they are beautiful and play awesome!!! Good job!!!
Looks great. Quite a restore.
Thanks!
Dude that was some straight up Dan Erlewine shit right there! I've been watching your videos for years, seen you build some killer guitars but honestly this repair (restoration) was by far the most impressive thing I've seen you accomplish, congratulations man! I mostly build electric guitars but I will do repairs for people that don't irritate the hell out of me so I fully understand what goes into a project like this, people aren't seeing the 4 hours you spent on one jig you may never use again just to accomplish one rout or cut, it's intense work to say the least. You killed it Big D!
Excellent work!
So satisfying to watch. There were moments there (not having a clue myself) where I was thinking ‘noooo man, nooooo’. All came together like a Bob Ross painting!
happy little splinters of wood
You do beautiful 😍 work 🎸 my friend! I can tell you're VERY passionate about your work too! Bringing that gibson back to life!
Keep it up! 🤘🤘👍
Incredible Job.. Wish i had the patience and knowhow for this type of work ...
Derek, When you play a beauty like this, smile. You did a fantastic job.
I should have!!! I needed Justin to play this one
You are a master of the jigs. Very clever
Que trabalho incrível 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What a rebuild!!! amazing!!!
thank you
Damn, that was impressive! Very nice.
Magic! Miracle hands!
That was a job very well done!
That's an incredible job, congrats!
thank you
Quality work dude !
Much appreciated!
To pay someone with the repair skills you displayed would cost almost as much as that guitar is worth! You'd really have to love it...
I had a 25/50 once upon a time-only Les Paul I ever had. Alas, my fridge died at just the wrong time…. I recall that mine had darker wood along the outside two pieces of the neck, and the center piece was lighter and more curly. You flat-out missed on the inlay alignment, but so what. Great restoration overall. That was a real tough one, for sure!
That was amazing.
A very interesting video as I have a 25/50 which I have owned from new. It was fascinating to see under the fretboard etc. I enjoyed that.
Outstanding
Killer work and jigs for days!
Beautiful work man
Pretty amazing. You really did give this babe a second life !
That's a great repair job. It's good to see non-creeping hide glue being used in the right places, where other people use regular Titebond.
yea never know if I have to pop the neck again...
amazing job man !!! you are a magician 🤤
incredible
What fantastic job wow
Well done.
Great T-Shirt ! Thanks for support
What a craftsman!
It's like watching a wizard at work. Amazing stuff.
