I don't understand how an owner can treat a guitar so badly. Luckily you have been able to bring it back to life. congratulations. greetings from Buenos Aires
I agree, it gave it so much character. The guitar was actually pretty cool all burnt up, with a matching melted neck. You can still see the fender logo fine I think it would've been cool to keep it all burnt up but obviously that's going to hurt the resale...I'm sure his intention was to sell it after restoring it. Just looks very basic after the restore. But on the bright side there's virtually no trace it was ever burned up. Personally, I would've kept it in its burned state. It tells a story and gives the guitar alot of character...
@@diddydoo5299 Right? Some pretty bad ass character. It’s really no different than an extremely relic’ed guitar but with very uncommon wear. I bet if Fender made a “Melted Strat” as a custom shop limited run they would sell out instantly for thousands a piece. 🤣
That is TRUE recyclying! You threw out the pick guard and the knobs and that is it. (For good reason.) Now that guitar is ready for another 50+ years of enjoyment. Nice job on the screws and all the metal parts. Amazing work!
I worked in musical instrument restoration for years. Curious how you get direct burn marks on the front and back of the body??? Im calling shenanigans on this whole video.
Hello Friend, what an amazing restoration ! This US Strat has regained its original beauty grace to your astounding skill ! Not to mention any tiny detail like the label beneath the pickguard. Any of your videos are great moments of delight, thank you for enjoying everyone, see you soon !
Asyl, this is aweome. I especially appreciate how you left the headstock slightly scarred in memory of the guitars prior experience as a testing ground for a blowtorch. You are the man.
That was beautiful, great restoration job! It hacks me off to no end that someone would let a USA made Fender Strat get that decrepit, but your restoration saved it! Hopefully the next person who owns it will appreciate it all the more.
Sei super bravo riporti in vita trumenti che erano defunti ora sono tornati dall'aldila complimenti x la tua grande passione io ho una chirarra simile sempre made in usa modello corona super super video
I winced at the sight of that American made beauty in such sad shape! But as always, you resurrected it and made it breathe and walk and run again, as I knew you would. Great work as always! 私は、そのアメリカ人が美しさをこのような悲しい形で見せて顔をしかめました！しかし、いつものように、あなたはそれを復活させ、あなたが知っていたように、それを呼吸して歩き、再び走らせました。いつものように素晴らしい仕事！
Wonderful restoration but even better choices of riffs to demonstrate it with! I thought riffs in other videos sounded Rodan-like and hearing slint on this one confirms to me that I enjoy your playing as much as your repair/restoration!
In 1921, Myra Brooks Welch wrote a poem called “The Touch of the Master’s Hand”. The poem tells the story of an old and battered violin that was to be auctioned but the highest bid the auctioneer could get for the instrument was a mere $3. That is, until a master violinist stepped forward and played the violin. It sounded so beautiful in his hands that it eventually sold in the auction for $3,000. You are the master today. You salvaged a rare, 60th anniversary Stratocaster that had been abused, neglected, and set on fire. You turned a tragedy into a treasure. Congratulations!
Gorgeous restoration - so happy that you decided to go back to its aged natural finish look... such lovely wood grain - always feel bad to see it covered up with paint - especially after all of what this one went thru... Great job !
On the end of the guitar where you put in dowels where the strap buttons had broken off, if you have that situation again, I would suggest putting the body in a vise and routing a groove and then install a piece of matching wood. Great work overall!
Is very interesting than in 2006, the American Deluxe Strat bodies were made in Mexico. The little round holes in neck pocket and under pickguard are specific for the cnc in mexican Fender factory.
I love your work :) Great videos.. I saw, when you peeled that label off the original scratch plate, that the RF shielding was coming with it. Such a shame you couldn't swap that shielding over, would have preserved so much more of the original tone :)
I'm not a Fender fan by any means. But the burn scars on this guitar before you started looked cool. But! You did make look brand new!! Standing Ovation to you. Keep up the great work!
El relic natural aveces puede verse hermoso, pero hecho a proposito y no por un profesional se ve desastroso. La restauracion es simplemente hermosa. Me deleito en estos videos. Un magnifico trabajo.
Your work is amazing. These videos are not only informative and interesting but also very relaxing. I love watching old beat up instruments be transformed into something new and beautiful.
Am I the only one who finds this type of damage unreal??? I've been watching several videos from this channel lately and it seems more like it was done on purpose to make the video. You know what I mean... Great work anyway!!😉
0:35 Note the trem block. 3 springs. Adjusted to dive bomb. Tuners. Pickups. Not touched. And: Input jack. PRISTINE. Again: PRISTINE (not even a scratch or gouge on an old "played" instrument) This is a real one off of an absolute horrendous hack/relic with 1,000% shock value but still plug 'n' play. Obviously a rich kid who anonymously let it go and moved on, perhaps gaining some maturity in the process. The attacks on the plastic etc can't be interpreted as to why or wheretofore. As well as the finish melting which renders close to ruining the vaunted ash. Again mere aesthetic but very very VERY angry. I've watched this channel for a few years and fully disagree with ALL of your comments suggesting that he's salting the fields for a few bucks and/or drama. Why? His passion is real. His results are to be expected. Not perfect (ever) on the collectables but OVER THE TOP on the lawsuit copies where he has more "room". Cheers! ------------ 53 yrs experience here, but just my humble opinion. ------------ Edit: 5:09 I'm replying to your comments as I go. I did not see this as I made first reply. Note how the original owner(s) floated the position of the bottom strap point for some form of "hang" posit. Phenomenal, irrefutable evidence of individual "customization". And very personal! Let's proceed...
Whether it was done on purpose or not doesn’t matter 😂 it’s a restoration video and he’s restoring it 😂 idk why people get mad when they’re fake. It’s getting restored isn’t it ?
This is the second restoration video you’ve played Slint riffs! Well done
It's really messed up that someone would abuse a US made 60th anniversary model like that.😵 Another outstanding restoration my friend!👍👍
I would have loved to see the burned parts preserved, it was so peculiar.
For what reason? Preserved how?
Cause he took a blow torch to it, fire doesn't act like that.
Stratocaster is such a timelessly elegant beautiful machine. This Phenix rose from the ashes
完成後の演奏コーナーも楽しみです、スリント、シェラック良いですね。

It's not been treated badly😂 it's a fake restoration job.
house fire bro
I almost cried when I seen what this is and how bad it was
Wow I never thought a tortoise shell pickgaurd would look so cool partially melted like that!

Νο, damaged guitars don't look cool to me. A skilful restoration like this here is cool.
@@theo9952 what "is cool" is up to interpretation. To each their own.

Awesome restoration and I was pleasantly surprised to see you play some Birds in Row at the end.
Love the Slint riff! And an awesome renovation as well
You did such an incredible job restoring this guitar, and then you went and played Slint and Birds In Row! Incredible!
He probably burnt it in the first place😂

At first I was thinking fix the headstock. Then when it all came together it is perfect.
That was beautiful, great restoration job!

Probably a teenager.
It's a 2006 American Deluxe.
That Strat should be called “The Phoenix.” It arose from the ashes. Excellent work!
corny ahh niqqa
I do not understand why anyone would choose to abuse a classic Strat like this. Your restoration is beautiful. We’ll done!
It's not a classic its an ash lite from 2006 ish
Maybe he was playing some Jimi Hendrix
funny. I don't understand why anyone would want to restore a testament to rock and roll like a burnt guitar !!!
@@danrleiluiz1997 someone being too intense while cosplaying jimi hendrix
So they can "restore" it for youtube views.

And you played Slint! That was very unexpected. The guitar looks great.
“Slint” What is the meaning of slint???
Amazing work and your attention to detail is bar none. I'm truly impressed. Keep on keeping on
ギター喜んでますよ．素晴らしい。
fantastic detailed restoration job. beautiful guitar now
I winced at the sight of that American made beauty in such sad shape! But as always, you resurrected it and made it breathe and walk and run again, as I knew you would. Great work as always!

Outstanding restoration of a badly damaged strat. That ole gal deserved to be treated with the respect to gave her.
Gorgeous restoration - so happy that you decided to go back to its aged natural finish look... such lovely wood grain - always feel bad to see it covered up with paint - especially after all of what this one went thru... Great job !
Great work on this guitar. You made it beautiful again and the wood was really nice. You did an awesome job on the restoration of this guitar. 🤩👍
I'm SO glad you rewired that mess. You have great skill!
Slint and Shellac at the end... cherry on top. Great work!
Watching the whole process is incredibly mesmerizing and satisfying until the guy starts playing.
One of your best restorations yet man keep up the awesome work!
So glad I found this channel, I can tell you love these guitar by the care and effort you put in to them. Beautiful work my friend.
What a gorgeous refurb! But the Slint at the end is the real treat.
本当に素晴らしい。
ストラトが喜んでる。。
You did an awesome job restoring this gem man. So glad you decided to give a more natural aged finish look.. Preserve all the beautiful wood grain.
Heartening to see a fender strat restored like that, immaculate work.
Nice to see an actual US Fender and not a cheap foreign knock-off.
How can anybody distroy such a beautiful instrument. Unbelievable. You did a good job. Thank you. I learned a lot.
indeed,
It could have been accidental
Evil women
My favorite video of yours so far. Nice job!!
Wow! You worked some magic on this guitar. Great job
Beautiful job very nice finish on that Stratocaster
Some might gasp in horror at this removal of "extreme relic'ing." Great work, and great restoration!
Я ахнул
That's not extreme relicing-it's dumbassery 😂
wow it turned out nice i like how the burnt part scraps right off another guitar id be happy to own
A wonderful restoration once again. Well done.
From Jimi Hendrix back to new! Well done!
コレは【愛に他ならない❣️】ギターが人によってはこんなにも…って思いましたよ❗️いつも感心していますが、最後にソレを引く時に楽器によって【愛の形が絶妙に演奏に出ている】と❗️🌍
What a way to treat a real Made in America Fender Guitar!
Its very relaxing to watch you working. Pls add more videos, great job!
お見事です！素晴らしく美しい仕事です。
WOW nice work on that one you brang it back from the dead.
love that we got some Slint riffs in the last two vids...
One of my favorite Strat color combos. Well done.
I always come for the restoration but stay for the riffs. Love the botch at the end
I can't believe the scorching didn't get to the wood! Very nice job.
of coure it did.. u use a warmpistol
Love that you decided NOT to paint it…that stain and lacquer finish really makes that alder grain pop. Wonderful job, as usual.
Like how you left the burn marks on the headstock & didn't go deeper with that piece of the resto,... those scars tell a story.
Great work! I really like that you left the marks on the headstock, Adds character and history.
Breadcrumb Trail, by Slint...was NOT expecting that. Right on!
On the end of the guitar where you put in dowels where the strap buttons had broken off, if you have that situation again, I would suggest putting the body in a vise and routing a groove and then install a piece of matching wood. Great work overall!
Is very interesting than in 2006, the American Deluxe Strat bodies were made in Mexico. The little round holes in neck pocket and under pickguard are specific for the cnc in mexican Fender factory.
An absolutely stunning transformation. First class job here in bringing that guitar back to being beautiful. Great work.
Congrats not only for the restoration job, but for all the love you gave to that guitar. All that guitar needed Was love.
Awesome job but why do the saddles not have the fender name on them?
Ouch!!😢.. Beautiful gorgeous guitar now 😮
It looks good!! You did a great job!
Wow, great work! So satisfying to watch too. Subscribed!
I love your work :) Great videos.. I saw, when you peeled that label off the original scratch plate, that the RF shielding was coming with it. Such a shame you couldn't swap that shielding over, would have preserved so much more of the original tone :)
Great work, now it looks so much better and probably plays better too. Well done and great job, well done.
Sure would be nice to find a 2006 Fender Deluxe Strat like that... Nice job
I'm not a Fender fan by any means. But the burn scars on this guitar before you started looked cool. But! You did make look brand new!! Standing Ovation to you. Keep up the great work!
the burnt pickguard was kinda cool tho, maybe it could be scalvaged? Great video btw. New comfort channel hehehe
Best one of yours I've seen to date! It came out so beautiful. Fant
Damn nice to hear some Mineral in that demo
Wow! Amazing work!
Not to bad of fire damage, I think it would have looks sweet with the burn damage made into like a lava flow. Nice job on it also
You are a magician... I suppose that in order to refinish a guitar like this we need top $$$ ... Nice work
Slint!
Very nice job sir!
El relic natural aveces puede verse hermoso, pero hecho a proposito y no por un profesional se ve desastroso. La restauracion es simplemente hermosa. Me deleito en estos videos. Un magnifico trabajo.
I mean, great job! Nice to whatch you work. But as it was, burnt, it was just beautiful!!! I am gonna buy a cheap one and try to make it burnt!
This might sound random, but I like your soldering. 🙂 I've seen so many bad solder joints.
Pretty good paint finish for outside in the wind ..
That is a horrible way to treat a 60th Anniversary guitar. Nice job, man!
Very nice to watch you unrelic guitars, you are a master.
Some of your better work! Nice job.
If you asked me if it would be possible to restore it I would say to much damage but WOW very cool skills well done

Keep on Your good work, thanx for showing!

Very neat! The most satisfying so far. Thank you!
Stunning work. Maybe better than new. 🤘🏼

I liked the immediate slint intro
Great job 👍 looks and sounds sweet.
