TRASHED Gibson Les Paul Guitar is Rebuilt! - Complete Time lapse Video

Apr 24, 2020

I bought this Gibson Les Paul on eBay a couple of years ago, the previous owner had left it in a huge mess and what I thought might be a simple way to restore the top ended up being a

complete

deconstruction and

complete

rebuild. A couple of flaws in the body I found when I got into it, but overall I think this turned out really well, so, uh, so thank you. I've been playing with this for several years and really enjoy it. to beat it again, I played with it a little bit, the color is really nice, I think it's maybe a little dark, but if you remember, I had to hide some of the filler places where the wood was peeling and it was just kind. very messy, this spot right here has just a little bulge where the filling shrank while it was.

I probably could have put different pickups in here. I don't know one of the first games I rewinded and it sounds pretty good, but I think I could have done a little better job now that I've been rewinding so many, yeah, I have to rewind the wiring in general. This was a really challenging and

time

-consuming project. Getting out of that neck was a little scary to be honest. Then putting it all back together wasn't so bad, but once I realized I had to take the neck off and then redo the frets and everything, this became a major project, so it wasn't a repaint, but a complete. rebuild from scratch, but that's my Les Paul restoration.
