Gibson Les Paul Deluxe Goldtop Vintage Guitar made in 1974 on my Luthier Workbench.
This amazing Guitar has a hidden s secret.....
After the inspection I have noticed that there are a lot of unusual details. There are a lot of scratches and sanding marks all over the Instrument and at first I thought uhhh... this looks really goofy and it took me a while to get behind the Story of this Instrument .
The owner who got this beautiful Instrument in this condition asked me to take care about this heavy played Guitar. I decided to level the Frets and to make a nice new Bone Nut. You can follow the whole repair/ restoration process in this Video and I have to say this is like a low budget maintenance to get this beautiful Guitar playable again. The replaced Frets a pretty worn down and there is not a lot of life left........ I will also explain and show a couple of "Luthier Hacks" in this Video. So if you are interested in my Luthier Craftsmanship stay tuned and enjoy the Video. I love doing stuff like that - if you are interested in more of my Luthier life Projects, please feel free to check out my other extended Workshop Videos on this channel.
Enjoy watching and sharing.

Well done! Making a correct guitar nut is a vitally important aspect of building and repairing. It's really an art, and many luthiers just don't understand.

I started playing guitar in 1974. So gold top deluxe hasa special place in my heart. I wish I'd bought a player grade one back when people didn't value them as much as now.

I also think that some of the pricing on older instruments are vrazy outrageous.. i thought spending $2000 on a bass was very pricey but I couldn't imagine spending anything over that. Believe me I'd love to own a 59 Les Paul but I'll never see that haha Cheers...
