After using the wood dye to colour match the neck repair, it would be best to removes the masking tape from the back of the neck before the clear coat. You can mist coat to either side of the repair to blend more seamlessly with the original lacquer and avoid the hard line that was left by the masking.
This bass is absolutely beautiful! I'll never understand people putting stickers on wonderful instruments like this... Awesome restoration as always, especially for the broken headstock, you did a great job here.
In the 80's, our bassist found a news paper headline that said "The Government has aids research funding approval"... So she cut out "The government has aids" and clear coated it to her bass. Was it a bad idea, yea, but everyone who saw that bass remembered it. So I get it. But I also love restoring them so win win really LOL
Dear Friend, thank you so much for this video ! I was not aware that an Epiphone Flying V has been produced. As usual, you demonstrate an incredible skill, with calm and patience : the repair and the revarnishing of the neck are daring and fabulous, also the overall restoration is outstanding ! Thanks again, see you next video...
I was so happy to see those stickers come off of there. 😄 I've never played an Epiphone but I had no idea they made a flying V bass. Beautiful instrument, amazing work.
Interestingly, I thought that about the neck dive until I actually bought a Flying V, built by Burny in Japan. The secret is to move the strap button into the crook of the "V" just behind the bidge. Worked particulaly well with my bass.
@@danieldupuys2002 I know! Gibson used to build guitars with a scarf joint neck, a much better and stronger design in my opinion. Why they quit doing that is a mystery other than maybe a cost cutting measure. I love Gibson guitars but in the last 25 or so years they’ve done some silly shit and yes, they haven’t quite got their defects under control as they are still cranking out guitars with finish problems.
DUDE!!! the ground wire wasnt in place when you hammered in the bridge pin!!! Nice work but why do a perfect refinish on the neck and not at least put some clearcoat on the big gouges outta the body?
Epiphone siendo Epiphone y despegando o quebrando el mástil... muy buen arreglo, Titebond, prensa, y a otra cosa, por suerte no tuviste que armarle un taco trapezoidal, se despegó limpio.
I have done this with several garage sale guitars even one I saw sticking out of a dumpster at our apartment building! Gave all but one to kids that wanted to learn but could not afford a guitar!
The brass scratchplate screws are very pretty, but look just a tiny bit oversized to me. I guess its very hard to get the exact right ones. Maybe a little more countersinking on the 'plate could sit them more flush? Anyway looks nice. Was longing to hear it played solidly with a pick at the end!
Have a Washburn xb500 with a broken neck. The luthier said the glue would only last so long but gluing over glue would only last so long. Had it reglued a few times but just stopped playing it when it split the last time and permanent solution?
Given the tools you have, or in this case don't have, you do spectacular work. I personally would have refinished the entire neck, but I suspect you did it that way to show its battle scars. I also appreciate that you left all of its wear and tear intact, choosing to clean, instead of completely refinishing. With regard to the pick guard, may I suggest dipping it in a bath of hydrogen peroxide and exposing it to UV light; it will completely remove all of the yellowing and make it white again. Well done, it plays beautifully.
I'm a bass player and didn't even know epiphone made a flying v bass lol. I've never been a fan of playing that shape, but they do look cool. I'm also kind of surprised they used all brass hardware on it, even including the nut. It works on it.
You're never gonna have that problem with a Fender. The curse of the broken Gibson neck or headstock. You'd think after all the decades of breakage Gibson would try and correct the problem. I guess it's Gibson's tradition in guitar design. Nice repair job! Unfortunately no matter how well the repair job is, they're never quite the same after.
Construtive criticism: Sorry but the paint in the back of neck result in a very bad work... You should paint all neck. And all your works you didnt remove the yellow on the old white plastic. Its could be done with a UV light (ODD Thinkering Channel teachs how to do) You didnt remove the rust properly on the metallic parts and you could replace the nickel plating in some restorations too. Restore Channels teachs how to do. You should polish the paints to remove the risks, marks with sandpapers 3000, 5000 and then polish... Your videos with this tips will be perfect...
When I saw how badly off that poor thing's neck was, I was horrified! But I had faith in your skills and as always you came through and brought this thing back from the dead. Excellent work, and I liked the more jazz and funk oriented lines you were playing as well. その貧しいものの首がどれほどひどく離れているかを見たとき、私は恐ろしくなりました！しかし、私はあなたのスキルを信じていたので、いつものようにあなたはやって来て、このことを死から連れ戻しました。素晴らしい仕事、そして私はあなたが演奏していたより多くのジャズとファンク志向のラインが好きでした。
The main value in the guitar is wood, everything else can be replaced. But the metal will gradually rise in price, there is less and less metal left in the world. I think in 100 years the guitar will be a very expensive commodity
The use of some of the tools when disassembling the instrument, almost made me sick 😱 And I would highly recommend a fret levelling after a neck repair… Just to polish the frets will not do it, when it comes to playability! And to achieve that kind of gloss on the laquer and the pick guard, without a machine, seems very unlikely. Also the ”gold” on the hard ware usually is so thin that if it is corrided, it polishes of…
You pretty much seem like you know what you are doing but you glue the nut to the rosewood of the fretboard not to the neck , that way if you need to take the nut back off you can just put a piece of wood in front of the nut and gently tap it and it will pop off with out taking any wood from the neck
前のオーナーはパンクスでガーゼとかのステッカーが貼ってあるくらいだから結構なおっさんと見た
ネックは折れてるというか昔よく見かけたスカーフジョイントってやつですね

I don't know who's trashing all these guitars, but it sure is fun watching you bring them back.
I love how tranquil these videos feel due to the lack of any background music of sounds.
This bass is absolutely beautiful! I'll never understand people putting stickers on wonderful instruments like this...
Awesome restoration as always, especially for the broken headstock, you did a great job here.
Punk Rock!!!!!
Stickers are like tattoos, they mean something to remember.
@@trolley4388 A good answer. I completely agree with you.
It’s an epiphone…trust me that’s the reason

90年代後半から2000年代初頭に販売されていたコリーナ材を使用していたモデルですね。これは後期型だと思いますが。
安価ですが人気で市場に出ることがあまりないモデルですので修理してもらってベースも喜んでると思います。
Cleanest neckbreak on a Gibson/Epiphone ever.
Love the cup to remove the post technique.
I like that you let alot of the old character remain on the instruments you repair.

I liked them, plus there were some good bands on the back. They tell a story of where this bass has been and what music it played.
@@diabeticmonkeyit’s cheesy.
@@GilaMonster971 To each their own
@@diabeticmonkey and neither of our opinions matter, we are not the one restoring the bass.
@@GilaMonster971 Exactly
Beautiful job!!! but why did you leave that chunk taken out the top of the body?
that Tragedy sticker tells me all I need to know about this beauty's crust punk past haha. wonderful work!
Quick tip, i always use parchment paper when gluing up a joint. That way your block wont become glued too in case to much glue squeezes out.
Use packing tape on the block. Does the same thing.
Love the neck repair, however, it's not broken but seems to have disolved. Funny you use Tite-Bond in Japan, thougt Nippon has better stuff.
Beautiful Job. The neck dive on that has to be legendary.
Interestingly, I thought that about the neck dive until I actually bought a Flying V, built by Burny in Japan. The secret is to move the strap button into the crook of the "V" just behind the bidge. Worked particulaly well with my bass.
Never use a straight tape to limit painting areas. Let the spray make the blend by itself
How you rescued that head was excellent work. The bass solo put that head to its test.
Cleaned up nicely 😊
Nice work for what you did. Kind of wish you'd have gone all the way and refinished the body, and maybe even touched up the headstock.
this is my dream guitar!
Cool V! The body wood looks like Philippine Mahogany I made a coffee table out of once?
How could someone trash such a beautiful bass?😭
Thankfully you restored it
The repair costs more than the bass is worth.
Epiphones always have issues with necks 😪
That trick with the tele cup socket and control plate is genius!
Thats one clean scarf joint break.😮
Awesome video.
You should have at least left that Tragedy sticker on there.
Bennie and the Jets! Nice... How do you find so many screwed up guitars??
Nice work! That neck was not broken. That is what’s known as a scarf joint and it looks to me like it just came unglued.
Yes, its the Epiphone neck design, better than The one piece Gibson one, look at the Les paul defects.

Brilliant restoration, but you missed a few bits on the end of the bass, I'd of had to sort that bit of scruffed wood out
Great job especially fixing the broken neck.. Nice bass..
DUDE!!! the ground wire wasnt in place when you hammered in the bridge pin!!!
Nice work but why do a perfect refinish on the neck and not at least put some clearcoat on the big gouges outta the body?
olfa exacto knife, Ive been using mine 12 years
Nice work but didn’t see the ground replaced?

Outstanding work. What a beautiful old V bass.
Excellent restoration!!!
I have done this with several garage sale guitars even one I saw sticking out of a dumpster at our apartment building!
Gave all but one to kids that wanted to learn but could not afford a guitar!
Pretty awesome base even before restoration
was the break in the scarf joint seems suck a clean break
That's a really nice repair and the use of the dye just made perfect sense. Really nice technique on this one. Cheers!

Do you keep every guitar you restore? How many do you have now? Love your work and your channel!
Beautiful repair
Great job!
Beautiful guitar!
Espero con ansias todos los días un vídeo nuevo.. Muy bien trabajo como siempre
Awesome work but, I noticed you didn't replace the missing truss rod. Hopefully the neck won't twist too bad over time.
The truss rod is there, you can see it at 5:25.
I love your videos. They are so satisfying too to watch, and educational for someone like me who likes to see “how stuff works”.
But, you didn't actually repair any of the wood damage? Now its just a clean beat up bass.
GORILAZ Bass. A beautiful restoration 🙏 Be a great bass to play. Sugoi Arigato ✌️🇦🇺

Any permanent solution?. rather.
Naked Eggs is a fantastic band name. How did this have such a clean scarf joint break? It's almost like they just forgot to glue the head on.
Outstanding restoration, as usual!
I gotta say though, that Tragedy sticker would have stayed if it was up to me 😎
I'm pickin up "guitar player trying to play bass" vibes at the end.
A lovely job of restoration...I was wondering if you had planned the body repair later i.e. surface chips
Este baixista vai ter, sérios problemas nô punco nô futuro.😁
awesome restoration
A Flying V bass? That looks so cool.
*Wow, great Job, You are genius !*
Very nice neck fix! Beautiful bass
This makes me want one of those. Nice work!

neck break a bit too clean??
Best renaissance of a guitar so far! Are the metal parts brass or gold-plated?
I love that bass
You’re amazing
Love it... Great job Man...
What a great job in this bass, congrats!!!!!
yet another outstanding piece of work. very well done
Not a broken neck, it was just an unglued neck, there is a big difference.
Yep, typical chinese QC
my dream bass! Gorillaz style!

That didn't look like a real Gibson break, that was a typical Asian made scarf joint break.

Saludos y buenas noches desde Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 ¿tiene en tú colección o has limpiado una jay turser ?
Question: where do you find these guitars and basses in such need of a clean-up and repair?
Beautiful job! And really cool bass!
懐かしい。昔このエピフォンのVベ使ってました。カッコイイんだけどベースとしてはいまいちなんですよね。
ピックを使えばドライブ感はよく出るんだけど、低音域が物足りなかった。スラップもやりづらいしね。
Looks beautiful !!
Where are you found this guitars???
앉은 상태에서 플라잉 V를 연주하려면 오른쪽 다리에 화살표처럼 노크를 놓으십시오.
Awesome work! I love these restorations 💯

why do people put stickers on their guitars? they always look worse than before. thank you for throwing them into the bin, it looks beautiful now
How does that head of the neck break
Welp it had a Van Halen sticker on it, now you gotta put a kahler whammy bar on it, and play eruption.
Gauze, Tomorrow and Exclaim? Someone has great taste in Japanese HC! ✌️
WOWWW HOW DID YOU FIND A FLYING V BASS?? IN BRAZIL ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ONE, I NEED. good vídeo man, i love it
magnifico hermano estaba todo pegao viendolo
Such a big body of that bass.
why would you you remove those stickers?
凄ーい！欲しいこのベース！
私ギタリストですが(*^^*)
