Yup, made in Nashville 10 January 1995, production number 502.

Now I don't feel so bad for them doing this to it 🤔

Oh quite more recent than I thought, looking at the tailpiece.

...I thought that guitar would be much much older than as mentioned...

Thanks, I was thinking it was older than that. I know Gibson did some funky stuff with their serial numbers in the 1960s and 70s making some of their guitars difficult to date.

Quando ele deixou somente na madeira,ficou linda...quando passou o prime ,ficou muito melhor....a pintura ficou boa demais,mas prefiro madeira

Yeah the colour is shit

You fucked up the SG with the paintjob!

definitely woulld have done a wood stain.

I was so excited to see that clear coat go on the natural wood and then he brought out the spray paint can… so disappointing

I thought the same but those filler plugs might have been a problem

I have used bamboo skewers for the same task. It ruins the grain pattern.

Original as in what the guitar originally came as, or from the video? I say this because it's not the original finish and honestly, it looks like crap.

Agreed. I would have like to see it get grain fill and a gloss clear coat but not bad.

I’d like to see u do better@@Masterfighterx

@@ou8126he’s talking about the doodoo brown that it started with. It was a cherry finish, but someone painted it over with what looked like oil house paint. You could see the brush strokes and all. Calm your tits

I was hoping for a clear coat or tru/tung oil finish, but I'm a sucker for wood grain. As it was it came out really well!

zupełnie zgadzam się z twoja opinią wystarczyło pomalować bezbarwnym lakierem a nie malować jak płot to jest profanacja tak pięknego drewna trzeba mieć smak pozdrawiam

SG 's don't look as good as a strat when heavily worn , but I prefer a new looking SG anyday !

Why? What is attractive about a guitar that looks like trash? Makes no sense to me.

@@okbouncer24 A worn guitar is often a guitar that’s been played a lot. Ask Willie Nelson and his guitar, Trigger.

@@geraldhills41 I would have just lightly sanded it, especially where the paint was peeling, and then put a matte sealer on it. The electronics would all be replaced, of course, but I like the road-worn look when it’s real.

@@benkenon I get that. However, he is the one who wore it out. It's his story that guitar tells. Nobody else's. Makes no sense for anybody else to play it because of that. I don't understand custom shop guitars as well. Why take a perfectly new guitar and beat it up and make it look old just because you want it to look like Willie Nelson's guitar? Why not buy a new one and create your own story. Just because a guitar has been beaten up and not taken care of does not mean you should leave it that way. Restore it and give it a new life and let someone create a new story on top of the story that already exist? That's just me. I would never want to play an ugly instrument.

This is the info I was looking for in the comments. Nice looking bridge, I haven't seen one before, or noticed anyway, and I'm pretty long in the tooth lol. I learned something today, thanks.

I agree. Awesome guitar as original.

typical jap style.. clever, but no feeling... like a computer game...

I wish they had at least done this with the beautiful back of the guitar, which looked beautiful and was fairly pristine. Yet they could have still had the color up front, if they wanted.

レリックが嫌なのでは？ 持ち主の自由

I wouldn't have been able to paint that mahogany. I would have left it natural or cherry and put on a bigsby to cover a bunch of the holes. Nice work though.

Eh, it was made in 1995 going by the serial number. Not particularly valuable, so a good guitar to refinish.

​@@jessebusenそのとおりだね。カッコいいギターになって羨ましい

Made in 1995??!! What, did they store it in a shed with no case the entire time??? 😂

I agree. That grain is beautiful; cherry or maybe a thin color. @@mrbuttons1243

Pelham blue is the color. Great turnaround.

​@@mitchmurrell753Yeah but it's like the color of aged/oxidized Pelham blue...great turnaround for sure.

Not new at all. Same guitar just restored.

You don't make sense. How can you evaluate craftsmanship and technical understanding if you don't have any. It's a paradox.

His guitar, his choice.

Pelham blue?

@@atomicrocker Pelham blue is infinitely more interesting than red or black on these.

@@Viper505repiV1 Ha ha, I have both colors.

Guitar repair skill: 100 Cab repair skill: 0 🤷‍♂

Clever comment Btw those screws are not usable anymore

He sanded out the belt marks. You should never refinish the belt marks. That's how you know a guitar was played. 😢

Repainting such a guitar is a crime. it's like repainting the façade of historical a building.

@@OVS888 There were spots that needed some love - like the back of the neck. And the peeling paint needed correction. But for the most part I completely agree with you.

An SG is cool no matter what.

Hey dude,..u have ruin the history of this guitar ...and u filmed you're destruction.of a instrument That traveled many miles.

How did one afford such a guitar back then?

@@s.i.s.t.m When I was in eighth grade, I rented a Gibson LGO Acoustic for $17 a month from a local music store that I took lessons from. That money applied towards my SG. That was $170 for the 10 months. I got the Gibson and a 15 W Ampeg jet for $360. I worked off the 190 balance and our family’s Italian restaurant for the summer of 66.

@@jammergreg what a cool story, thanks for sharing!

The time effort, new tools and maybe a lack of know how, plus maybe never going to happy with the result going for the standard/custom finish. Stick with what you can do, and work your way up with cheaper guitars?

I would have kept the wood grain. I have a 72 which is all original and in much better condition

Mahogany definitely needs grain filler

I thought it was an ABSOLUTE CRIME to cover it with paint when it could have had SUCH a beautiful natural wood finish

yup@@L8rCloud

With all that covered up holes? 🤨

I also prefer the natural color of wood and I think the result would have been impressive given the great effort he put in

I would have cleaned it up so it was playable and stayed in tune and left it as is. The original beat up look was really unique. I’m not into relic guitars but sg imo are the only guitars that look good like that. Maybe a tele or Strat as well. I would love to find a beat sg like that. I have a 61 and a special that are all glossy and shiny and new. Would love to add a beater to the collection. Where would one find one like that? eBay?

I happen to have that tailpiece on a 79 SG. It's called a Bowen Handle. and yeah,,that one is missing handle and mine has a big spring that I don't see here.

Does it also allow you to raise the action for slide playing?

@@allenbetz1175 i wouldn't think so. If you want a quick and easy tool to setup your guitar for slide, check out the Grover GP1103 "Perfect" guitar extension nut. Goes over existing nut and raises action across the board. Quick and easy to remove and restore your guitar to normal string height
