Vintage Japan semihollow guitar transformation
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ค. 2024
- This is my new project, in which I finally decided to completely repaint the guitar. I chose not the simplest shape of the body, and the overall condition left much to be desired. It's a Norma, an old Japanese guitar from around the 60s (from the Teisco, Kawai, etc. family). The color I chose was something I've been wanting to use for a long time and I think it turned out to be a great match with this guitar. It was my first time doing a full refinish, so your feedback is very important to me 😊

It is friday 9:30am eastern, I am off work eating pizza and drinking spiked cherry slushies for breakfast, when I see a new Tanya Shpachuk resto vid drops. What a wonderful morning.

12:41am, eastern as well. These videos are part of my bed time routine lol.
@@TanyaShpachuk Nice work - maybe shim the neck for better break angle and a tuneomatic for better intonation ?
@@BenPrevo- dude…I’m pretty sure Tanya knows what she’s doing…🙄. I’m also sure she doesn’t need me to defend her, but I found your suggestion so ‘duh’ I couldn’t let it go…
@@deaterk Bro is really baiting out musicians on a guitar video lmfaoo
The fact that she does all this shit and still maintains a perfect manicure is crazy. Skill beyond measure.

I have been fixing, restoring and refinishing guitars for about thirty years, so I know how much work this actually is. Fantastic job, you have a real talent for this work, you are an artist! Congratulations on this and the many more that will surely be coming!
Thank you so much!
Looks so cool 🎉 You really gave that neglected guitar a new life.
I really LOVE the top-down view of fret work. It gives a great example of what's actually happening to the frets. Beautiful color and awesome as always!
Wow!! Amazing relic job. Love the color too. Thanks for posting this great work. Always learn something new. 😊👍
Tanya, your knowledge and talent never ceases to amaze me.. Thanks for sharing.
I like it when people clean up as they go. It's an indication of good character.
@sharpwnflat6002:
You pretty much need to clean as you go.
If ya don't get rid of that all laquer you just scraped off, it'll get somewhere that you just finished scraping!
Why do the same work, over & over?!
Same with sawdust, filler, etc.
I love watching these types of videos while I build and repair guitars in my studio. Very comforting knowing someone else is out there feeling my pain....and joy...and contentment fixing these instruments.
Ha, yes! I love old crazy Japanese guitars, they’re the perfect thing for reworking, beautifying, experimenting, you name it. Sometimes you gotta get away from the idea of “what’s it worth” and just do something to it that makes you happy. Looking forward to the results!
Unbelievably cool! Wonderful color choice. And the "vintage" crackle finish turned out great. Reminds me of a 1965 shell pink J-bass I had for a while.
That came out beautiful. The transformation from what you started with to the finished guitar is amazing as usual.
You weren't kidding about Transformation. I was not expecting that! enjoyed the video again. Nice work.
That paint work was ........."MAGIC"!!!🤩🤩
So many times I've watch guitar restoration videos and everytime i've wanted them to sand off the old paint off of the headstock. You did it and you did it so nicely 😊😊
Jaw drops open when you start scraping off finish. Stays that way through the final demo play.
What an amazing project chronicle. Congratulations on doing such an awesome job transforming that old thing into something to be played and loved again.
What a beatiful job you did with the guitar! Made my day watching this. Thank you
Tanya, I love this video, from beginning to end, very inspiring. I love the hue, & the crackle finish, brilliant.
Wow! What a beautiful transition! Well done!
Wow what an amazing video!!! So much work and it turned out great!!!
Pleasure to watch you work, amazing job😊
I love how with each step I was taken by surprise completely and with every one I was falling more in love with this project!!! What a restoration!!
What a transformation! What a colour!
This is an amazing restoration. Very good job. Thumbs up!
I absolutely hate dealing with my guitars. I just want to play them. I even hate changing the strings. But for some reason I love to see a professional dismantling and repairing a guitar. It’s like therapeutic.
I had on of these in the 60's bright red, my first electric. Good little guitar it was.
Love the color and cracked finish! Perfect job as always!
Beautiful work! The end result was stunning!
Thanks, Tanya!
I did not see that coming....such a fantastic job, Tanya!❤❤❤
Beautiful work, well done !!
Bravo, a super job. Learn a few tricks every time I watch your channel!!
Wooow Tanya, I loved the crackle finish!! great job!!
What a series of twists 😄 Looks great! Cool to see some playing at the end too, often in your videos I wonder what they sound like when done 😁
Amazing meticulous work, beautiful guitar, it sounds classic 👏
It was great hearing all the work sounds, scraping, sanding etc. Great job!
Amazing job Tanya, the finish looks great
She Shpachuked this guitar good
Thank you for reviving the Japanese guitar!
Love from Japan.

Excellent work once again that was a really cool project
Nice and subtle relic job! Also the new pickups are a nice touch!
Thank you:)
I agree with the title of this video...totally insane...all of those steps of scrapping and sanding and then after all of that work to finally crack the entire finish...you're right I just didn't see that coming wow!🤣
Yup, it's was dumb though, not insane. Let's do a whole load of processes that are unnecessary and increase the labour and time by 10x. 🤣
@@baskingdragon Some people like it. I don't, you don't, but plenty do. It's their business. The job was well-done in any case.
@@baskingdragonAh, the ever-present armchair luthier. Maybe she just wanted to practice new techniques? At this point, relicing is a skill expected of modern guitar luthiers.
@@keithklassen5320 nicely said, it was well-done indeed...
i actually got excited w/ the wood, maybe because of knowing how much the Japanese love choosing just the right piece :)
Adding heat then sudden cooling = cracks. Put an empty glass cup in a microwave for 30 seconds on high then just dumb cold water and watch it shatter......
Turned out so good! I really like the new style :D
Блин indeed! Great job, Tanya! It looks fantastic and sounds so good! I have a couple of those old Japanese guitars laying around, I need to fix them up!
I didn't expect the craquelure finish. Now instead of over restored it looks like a well preserved 60 year old guitar. Very cool!
For a first time, this refinish/restoration is beyond fantastic! The result is stunning !
i love you work, your attention to detail is awesome
What an awesome transformation! Nice work.
Great work, great video!
Another bad ass video from Tanya. I love your attention to detail. Remarkable job!
Very nicely done! Beautiful result!
Awesome finish. Did not expect the checking but I think it looks great on that guitar and with that color.
Beautifully done!!
what a great instrument. great video of a great restoration. Thank you so much. And I did miss you
A wonderful example of skill and imagination coming together.
The attention to detail in both the craftmanship and video is fantastic. It's super inspiring on all levels.
Incredible transformation! The color looks fantastic.
Thank you!
It's so cool to see something old made new again, you're a true artist Tanya!😊👍👍
That is such a fantastic colour!
Once again you've done an incredible job :) you are one talented lady :)
At first I thought the colour was an insane choice, but as the video progressed it became clear that it's absolutely awesome!
Killer work and it sounds good too! Love the color!!
I love these old guitars! That was a wonderful restoration.
It's such a great pleasure to watch this and learn from your incredible skills 🤘
Great job, as always, Tanya!
Wow, beautiful. Love that crazed finish, it’s ready for a 60’s garage band.
Wow! What a transformation Tanya! 👏👏👏
Really nice work! It looks totally amazing 🤩 Super brave choice of colour 👍
Thank you so much
Do love your work! ... you threat every instrument like it was your own .... you never stop to impress me gratz!!!
Very nice work! Your skills are amazing, really!
what an absolute pleasure to watch. thank you
Beautiful color! Fantastic restoration, Tanya.
Outstanding stuff.
Thanks for showing every step on this video. I want to be able to do this myself!
Wow that color and crackling looked gorgeous
Beautiful work as always :)
great choice of finish! looks killer!
Wow very nice work and it sounds great.
Looks and sounds amazing! Great job!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Solid work!
Excellent work. I enjoyed watching this guitar get reborn into something else.
The work you do is very impressive!
You did a beautiful job !
This is fantastic!!!
Adjustable saddles would be a gigantic improvement. Great Work!
The crackle finish was awesome! Liked the 60s garage rock style playing at the end of the video as well, really suits that guitar.
It came out gorgeous! I wasn't sure what direction you were going to take it, but it's better than anything I had imagined.
Fantastic love your work.
Wow, you're an amazing craftsperson!
That squeal when you dropped the frets made me laugh!
Very nice work young lady.
Impressive work as always
I love your work!
I think for a 1960's guitar I would've restored to it's original luster for preference. Outstanding work either way. I have no problem with the color though. The guitar is 60+ years old and something from that era needs to go back to what it once was. That said, I can't restore it to either version of what it now is. So don't take this as criticism, it's beautiful either way. I just wish I didn't know what the original looked like. Just my OCD. If I had seen the end result and never knew it was a natural woodie, I would've assumed it was a painted sparkle finish. The gold foils sounded good in the demo. And that was good that I didn't hear it demo as original 1960's, that's if it even worked. Nothing to compare as a frame of reference there, it sounds like I would've expected a 1960's Department store Teisco to sound. I do like the Valco Airline/Harmony/Kay/Danelectro/Supro/National/Silvertone (did I miss a brand ?).
Oh... The forced crackling in the lacquer... nice twist indeed! Bravo.
Thank you!
You did a fantastic job on that guitar! I like it a lot!
Your intuition was completely correct for this restoration and you nailed it bro. 10 on a 10 scale🤘🌞
Excellent job! Excellent video!
I like seeing the different guitars that come across your workbench.
Awesome Job, Tanya!!!😎👍
Love that color.. as everyone else has said excellent job bringing this guitar back to life with a nice makeover!!!!
I really enjoy these videos I have a 1970 epiphone ET-270 i bought a couple years back and I have it stored rn but i really been wanting to take it to get worked on but haven’t found anyone who does a great job like you .
Always loved watching people who are good at their job do their work. Laying a floor, fixing a car, baking a cake. I'mma watch if I can. These videos are basically that on steroids for me! Built myself a guitar in a highschool project and always dreamt of doing another, but this will defo do in the short term! Love the videos!
Fascinating documentary video. I love the results. I am full of questions about the stages of the aged finishing process and the products used. Thanks, very inspirational.
