When you used the opener upper on the control cavity it made a crack on the other side. I see it went away after you clamped it. You might try Zpoxy instead of wood glue as it will run into the crack better and you might not need the opener upper. Great video

Hey Sean, this reminds me of my early years when I repaired, restored, refinished furniture. Mostly antique furniture. You really are a special man, because alot of people don't,won't share their knowledge. Knowledge isn't worth much imho if you don't share it. I commend you my brother!✌️❤️😎

Love how it’s shaping up! Btw, what are you doing with the broken headstock? Maybe you can make something out of it like a top of a box for picks/capos/etc. Or perhaps something to hang on a wall. Or maybe something artsy fartsy, lol. It should be used somehow so we symbolically show Gibson not to waste any part of a perfectly good guitar just because of a double or serial number or whatever.

@Nonexistanthuman 6 ай бұрын

I like how you gave the guitar its serial number back. It may have been abandoned but it still have its serial number along with a scarred touch. Alot cooler to me than having it brought back to new condition

In antique furniture restoration when we have bruised dented wood you place a small wet pad of cloth on top of the dent and put a hot iron on the cloth. The steam brings out the dent

great video, as always, fine sir! i was a professional painter / pinstriper for 25 yrs... always used a compressor and spray guns... but boy, i'll tell ya, i've been amazed at some of the results i've been getting with just rattle cans over the past 5 yrs or so. rattle spray paint has really improved. that old dis-owned Gibby from Brad has turned out great, buddy! major headstock upgrade, too!

Sean, I got little bit to say here. are we going to see and hear the final product? The “dumpster Paul” is the perfect name. Damn Gibson for doing that to perfectly good guitars when so many kids out there have no access to musical instruments. Damn waste! I enjoy watching your vids which mean Kathy does alright with the videoing in my humble opinion. I hope to see the final video on this Dumpster Paul. I am about to put a humbucker in the neck position in my 62 AVRI telecaster. Have a great day! I’ve learned a lot

Once the coating was sanded off I would have tried swelling the dents back up with water. I’ve done this in the past building guitars and accidentally putting a dent in the body dropping a tool on it. I learned the water trick from an old timer. I used q-tips. Great to see it in caring hands now.

@scarmyguitar 6 ай бұрын

Yeah I used to steam dents out too, but I've found that 5 yrs later those dents will start showing under the paint because the pressure from the dent in that area made the wood softer than the rest so that area ages differently, I guess. Not sure but they sure do come back. Best to fill em when painting is my experience.

using a little suction cup like a plunger is a quick way to push glue into cracks.

@DividedWeFall1000 4 ай бұрын

Not sure why you just didn't use wood putty to fill in the damage on the Guitar Body?

@coppertopv365 4 ай бұрын

I am going to guess it's because he had to sand the top down anyway, and bondo is a bit harder, bondo can be sanded down and be repainted. Not sure how just slapping wood filler in would help, you also have to clean out the damaged gouges. . The whole top does need to be painted anyways, because of the repair work needed, likely the back side as well. Wood glue some areas like he did, but bondo makes sense to me on the surface stuff if you're painting and want it smoothed an proper.

What a great score! Another great cheat for clamping up a custom head stock veneer is to use a granite tile against the veneer side and scrap wood on the back! I used this technique on my Hagstrom 12 string electric and it worked great! As for restoring it, screw that! A Scar My Guitar "Deluxe" is WAY more unique! Looking good so far, I hope it plays like a dream for ya when it's done!
