Budget Gibson Les Paul Studio Restoration
I bought a white Les Paul Studio that had a solid, but really bad looking neck repair so I thought I'd give it a little restoration. The pickup covers were the wrong size so I changed them. The bridge pickup was very low output but I put it in the neck where it sounds so much better. Apart from a few cracks in the lacquer it looks nearly new now!

Gibson Les Paul Studio, Fake Binding and Restoration
Просмотров 10 тыс.3 года назад
My '93 Gibson Les Paul Studio was looking a bit sad so I thought I'd give it a new look with fake or faux binding, scrapping of the lacquer edge to expose the maple underneath and some new cream plastics to give it that LP Standard look. While I was at it, there was some sharp fret sprout at the fingerboard edge so I made the fret ends a nice smooth spherical shape, really comfortable to play. ...
My Rory Gallagher Tribute Replica
Просмотров 1,7 тыс.3 года назад
I take you through the making of my Rory Gallagher Replica. I didn't want to make a full Rory as it meant I would have to scrape away about 90% of the finish and as the Glarry Stratocaster copy I used had 4 pieces of basswood in different shades, it wouldn't look good! So I reversed the wear pattern and came up with my own tribute design ;0)
Vintage Staining and finishing a maple neck
Просмотров 25 тыс.3 года назад
Sorting up a Gear4Music bass guitar, as it only had a light sand and seal coating on the guitar neck. I give it a nice vintage style stain and finish with Tru-Oil. The fretboard edges were also very sharp so I gave them a nice rolled feel too.
PRS Custom 24 SE Restoration and Setup
Просмотров 9733 года назад
I got a 2013 PRS Custom 24 SE as a surviving covid present for myself! The previous owner had unwisely screwed on a GK3 Synth pickup instead of using the double sided tape, leaving three nasty holes in the top. I got it for a good price so I set out to restore it and set it up. I also done a sound test using a Shure SM57 mike into Audacity on my PC, markedly improving the sound over the camera ...
Strat copy to Strat Killer!!
Просмотров 2,2 тыс.3 года назад
A friend bought a nice old Strat copy guitar, he already has a '79 Fender Stratocaster but thought this would be nice to hang on his wall. It was well made and I saw the potential in it for a really good guitar. After a fret level, crown and polish I smoothed the fret edges and rolled the fingerboard as well. Then I upgraded the electronics. I changed the pots, capacitors and added a treble ble...

My unboxing and first tests on a S/H LINE 6 Variax 600, 50 different sound combinations from loads of vintage and classic guitars and it throws in a few odd ones too like a dobro, banjo and sitar! These are going for a fraction of the new price, check them out they could surprise you ;0)
Still got the blues - Gary Moore cover

One of the greatest solo's in a mainstream ballad, if not the best . I hope I can do it a little justice. Played on my Gibson Les Paul Standard into a Boss Katana 100w 2 x12" direct USB out into my PC. Enjoy ;0)
Roland GR-20 v GR-55 Guitar Synthesizer Comparison
Просмотров 23 тыс.3 года назад
A comparison and sound tests between my Roland GR-20 and GR-55 Guitar Synthesizers. The GR-55 is still currently available but you can still find the GR-20 on Ebay and Reverb at a good price, still a good buy if you just need some extra sounds or string pads etc, at the touch of a button. The GR-55 is more sophisticated and has more sound sources, including guitar, amp and effect pedal modeling...

Old Acoustic Guitar Restoration

A quick restoration of an old Jim Deacon acoustic guitar. Jim Deacon was the brand name of SMIRA (Scottish Musical Instrument Retailers Association) who sourced the instruments direct from factories in the far east in the 90s. (Most of them from OEM manufacturers like Cort or Samick)

A trip with my Mavic drone up the Glens and Lochs on the west coast of Scotland. Featuring the villages of Luss on the beautiful Loch Lomond. The former fishing village of Tarbert, Loch Fyne and Campbeltown, Kintyre at the bottom end of Argyll. There are picturesque villages and beautiful scenery all over the west coast, like Arrochar, Inveraray and lochgilphead, this is just a small taste ;0)

My Gibson Les Paul Standard, I went to buy strings and came out with this! I remembered the strings too though. Its a 2016 Standard T model with a really nice AAA maple top and a dark dessert burst finish. I play the Gary Moore, Still got the blues solo through my Boss Katana 100w 2x12" direct into the USB PC input to let you see how it sounds. I also post the Katana settings if you like the so...

    Well, 8 years have past, and guess what ? You can still get a real lemon if you buy a Chibson. However there are builders in China who are doing remarkably good work. It all depends on who built your guitar. For $ 300.00 Can. It is worth a shot. You never know. I have a Chibson Les Paul Custom, that is built every bit as good as Epiphone, at half the price

    Word of advice don't buy anything from G4M . Their aftersales service is disgraceful . I had an issue with a PRS guitar and they refused to acknowledge it was a manufacturing defect. PRS got the guitar and agreed it was a manufacturing fault and replaced it with a new Guitar. G4M did nothing . Thank you PRS. People you have been warned.

    I like them both yet I find the Gr20 better organized and easy to navigate. The other one offers inmense ops, yet doesn´t seem to have any order in the system. Like groups of similar sounds bunched together. Gr 20 gives you those grous lie organ, piano, winds, flutes, sinth. etc
