I had the same guitar back in the late 70s. It looked the same except it had the Ibanez knobs with the black rubber around them for a better grip. I put a DiMarzio in the bridge back then. It was a great guitar. I believe they called this the Violin finish.

'Some' of the 80s jap stuff was absolutely blistering good and on par with the USA made stuff ( cost cutting in the 80s killed quality)

Save the Nibs? Did you mention what kind of Frets your are putting in?

You had the finger board off, that would have been the ideal time to install frets and bind the neck. A much easier way to build the fingerboard, as well as making binding fret end nibs. BTW, that's the way them make them at the factory.

Dude! Your bench is a mess!

In 2016 the pickguard should have 2 5/16 pickup spacing it gets changed every few years.. Go figure Gibson has been saying they're the closest replica ever made since 1999 and yet it's different every single year and not smart people still hand over $5,000-$7,000 thinking they're getting the best replica ever made until the next year rolls around and a new even more accurate reissue comes out.. It's a joke! Gibson is the shadiest guitar company on earth, they make chna Chibson builders look like saints... A 1999 r9 pickguard won't fit a 2004,A 2004 pg won't fit a 2016,a 2016 will fit a 2024 but not perfectly.. And cream tone plastic is accurate, Gibson gets the color wrong ..In 1959 it was a bone white (that's the reason they called paf double whites) cream came around much later.. The cream was a result of companies looking at old aged plastic and trying to mimic the color, but originally it was almost a perfect white and because the plastic (vinyl and butyrate) ages on the inside and outside at the same time there's no way to accurately make a perfect replica of the color.. Even if we cut a 59 M69 ring in half we wouldn't see a perfect representation of the color because they age all the way through.. However, through pictures that just recently been found of 52-60 lp's and so on we can see it's actually a bone white color and not cream and Gibson as well as others have gotten it wrong the whole time... Sorry for the long reply..

Since you were doing binding and frets, why not do it old school with binding over the fret ends…?

Do you stain the binding in an attempt to make it a closer match?

Oh yes it’s coming together!

I had a hagstorm Viking many years ago and my friend Ginger from ( the wildhearts ) uses one and who says a 335 style guitar cant be used for punk rock!

You worked for Rondo? I have 3 Agile AL Lp clones within reach right now. I also have 2 SX T styles in the closet behind me.

Super glue tends to dry out over time and become brittle. At least that's my twenty plus years experience with it.

Blort!

Long form oh yes! 😆

Love love that squeeze out action🎉

It probably needs that brass for sustain. I made a walnut guitar body to surprise my Master Luthier. Upon seeing it he said, “That;s real nice Tony but it’s dead”. I said what do you mean. He said, “ walnut’s not a resonant wood. You never see guitars made out of it because it’s dead as rubber! It won’t have any sustain. He was right. He;d done it for 50 years. His pine bodied Teles were legendary around Shreveport Louisiana. Al Collinsworth.

I wish you lived in my neighborhood!

Nice playing, guitar and t-shirt. Social D would likely approve

You do great work and love this series. I bought this guitar from a friend that I was in a band with, he bought it at Guitar Indianapolis and I owned it for about 14 years, the neck originally was bare wood on the back with a red stinger on back of the headstock like Zach Wild, I had my guitar tech to stain and lacquer the back and match it up, I used it for my Ace Frehley gig that I used to do. The neck was a mystery and didn't think the guitar would be worth much so I had the middle pickup routed. But now that you have been taking the neck apart, I do think it was an acoustic neck from previous comments.

Sounds great!

Currently re fretting a late 60s strat with the dredded stainless steel frets ( kills ya tools ) the customer is a gigging guitarist and hes told people hes going stainless ( thisxis thex2nd time ive re fretted this guitar) and some fender snobs are telling him its wrong! Ive told him to show people and tell them they are standard nickel frets and no one could tell the difference!

we chase misprinted lies…

Fantastic, my man !

Get a steadycam or stand, 10 seconds in and getting queesy already...

Faster please

You said you used to work for Agile so... Is the chibson of any worse or better overall quality and value compared to the Agile LP looking thing?

Creativity is knowing when to stop. 😂

Was already using the tooth pick in the fret slot before I saw this. And no, not gonna say you do anything wrong because frankly I do so many things "wrong" but as long as it works who cares

Every once in a while, Slash breaks out a red Mockingbird with a Floyd Rose tremolo.

Great song choice

Great sounding Martin

I've loved that guitar since I saw Rick Derringer playing one.

Nice! 🤘🏼😎

That’s just beautiful. I have 2 B.C. Guitars from 1980

Wow shine❤

Yessssirrrr!!!!!

Nice work must feel good to get that behind you 😊

Hi, I’m your newest subscriber. Can you tell me where you’re located? I need a good guitar guy thanks.

The 3 Mimi toggles work in this order the closest to the chicken head knob is the phaser ( pickup selector has to be in the middle position) the other 2 are as follows middle is coil tap for neck pup and the one closest to the tone knob is the coil tap for the bridge pup. Plus all the electronics are passive until you flip the mini toggle on for the booster and the chicken head is a 5 position tone filter

The only guitar I's consider selling my Les Pauls for. I've got a 1980 Eagle deluxe bass. Top shelf craftsmanship. Only problem is finding a tech in my area who knows how to deal with these.

You shiw the basics but you dont shoe the real work like tolerances of fretboard thickness at each end and glue up and final set up with neck relief and the hard work
