Some guitars get so much history on them that they simply need a bit of a clean up. Nice work. The typical used marks that give the instrument its character are all still there.
This was Bill’s first foray into guitar production. He had collaborated with some companies in the past to make guitars (Framus being one that comes to mind). This venture eventually failed but he would return to guitar manufacturing under the Wilde brand name.
I like the channel very much. It's very satisfying to watch you working on the guitars 🎸. I have one question that is intriguing me : where do you find all these guitars that are always covered in stickers and writings and strange paint job...??? Because it's repeating itself a lot in your videos. I'm not accusing you of anything- I'd love to know the answer. Thank you in advance.
FACT: Bill Lawrence pickups were SO good that he only needed one single coil pickup to do the job in HIS guitars! (which up to this video I never knew he made!)
It was news to me as well. Great job on the overhaul. Going through the BLs online, the "average" price of his guitars rounds out to $850.00. Not bad at all. Great video.
Things I would like to see you doing in your next videos: - A full fretwork (fret filing, crowning and polishing) - I'll love to see you restoring your MESA speaker cabinet
I commend you for using the correct size screwdriver for each screw on this restore. I have seen many other videos where the person working uses the same screwdriver for any screw. It ruins the screw heads. I always stop the video when I see that reckless behavior. Good job!
ヘッド裏のSTILL of the NIGHTは、ホワイトスネイクじゃなくてレッドウォリアーズのほうだろうなｗ 当時の同価格帯なら、近年ジャパビンとか持ち上げられているフェンダージャパンやフェルナンデスより、ビルローレンスのほうが音も品質も高かった印象。ピックアップも、このブラックラベルのほかｌ、L-250、L-500と名機揃い。
Moridaira Co., Ltd used be a Distributor of Bill Lawrence pickups in Japan since 80's Few years later, They got a license of making "Bill Lawrence guitars"(Of Course for Japanese market only) This one is a signature model of Japanese famous guitarist. And according to their HP, they have still a license of "Bill Lawrence guitars". ruclips.net/video/JMk8hfclT_Y/видео.html
I must admit, I preferred the style of the old, scuffed guitar. Although I understand that this is a restoration, it's a bit of a shame to see a guitar that has been through so much lose all the marks of time and use. There's a certain charm and character that comes with wear and tear, and it's part of what makes each instrument unique and special. Nevertheless, the craftsmanship in this restoration is impressive, and it's great to see this guitar brought back to life!
Except he kept the normal wear and tear. Even when finished the guitar clearly has scratches, scuffs and dings on it. He just removed all the juvenile crap the last owner put all over it, gave it a good clean and removed some corrosion from the metal parts. He reused every part. It’s the definition of a “sympathetic” restoration.
It’s not been through that much… it was a present for a spoiled teenager… No young person who’s bought a guitar with money from a job they didn’t like doing writes a bunch of stuff in a foreign language on it…it has some ware from falling over in a small Japanese bedroom, but it looks like the acceptable wear that you would find on a 20 year old instrument. The guitar looks much better now… anyone can use it… not just people in a contrived pop faux punk group…the type of people that think clumsy, lazy wear and tear represents ideas, “character” and that they more “special” than other people…
Another wonderful job on your part, sir! I can't get over what makes some people want to deface their instruments like that. 別の素晴らしい仕事、先生！一部の人々がそのような楽器を汚したいと思うものを乗り越えることはできません。
Hello Friend, nice restoration as usual and also discovering some brands of guitars is very enjoyable. This Strat type guitar has a tremendous sound despite its single pickup ! Well done Man, see you next video...
There's something to the look of the single unangled bridge pickup that's quite visually appealing. Really if there's any pickup that needs to be angled on a Fender it's the neck pickup. I rearranged a pickguard on a strat I got like that with a straight bridge and middle pickup and an angled neck away from the bass strings. It's the most balanced strat I've ever played; no wolf-tone on the neck and no piercing high end at the bridge, perfection👌
An excellent restoration, as usual Sir! @19:22, You soldered a lug and grounded the single-coil pickup to the pickup cavity's shielding paint. Can I ask why you chose to do so, instead of (typically) grounding the pickup to the guitar's tremolo "claw"?
When I see something like this, I remember working my butt off all summer, and well into the fall to buy a red Fender Mustang dated July 1965. It was 9 years old and I was 14. I took meticulous care of that guitar because I had worked so hard for it. When I see this, my first thought is that it was given to whoever it was that did this to it, or he stole it. That which is too easily obtained is often too lightly esteemed. The other possibility is that he spent more time with the glass pipe than with the guitar.
Not a bad sounding guitar 🎸 with just a single coil pickup in the bridge position.. I normally see a humbucker in the bridge position but it still rocks..Great cleanup by the way..👍😁🤘🎤🎶🎵
Beautiful! A request??? When you show us a bottle (Kanji, Hiragana or Katakana) and no English on the label... could you put an English label on the screen so we know what you are using? Not a big problem if you can't. Thank You and Best Regards and Best Wishes!
Nice clean up.. If you’d wanted to clean up the neck plate or any of the black parts. You could’ve buffed the neck plate and taken the pits out and re blackened them with “ Gun Blue” . Just some extra info. that I thought that you’d like to know.
If it's a low budget guitar with that much damage, I'll always repaint it. If it's a rarer, or higher end guitar or bass, I'll just restore the paint. I love this channel!!!
Can't lie, i actually liked and preferred the writing, it actually gave the axe some personality, like its been through and seen some shit. I definitely would of upgraded hardware and electrics but left the body and pickguard.
The instrument hasn’t “seen any shit”..a spoiled Japanese teenager probably received the guitar as a present from his parents.. he wrote a bunch of gobeldegook on it in English thinking that the west is cool and punk, when in reality it’s woke, conformist and broken.. This guitar sat in a bedroom looking western and faux rebellious …maybe it was use in a shit Greenday type pop punk band that played in comfortable venues a short distance from campus…Maybe two Japanese women with childish brightly coloured hair were in the audience… The girls weren’t attractive and no one from the band had sex with them… The hardware on this instrument is perfectly acceptable…
Kannst Du es mir Glauben dass ich erst Schimpfen tue weil man diese Instrumente misshandelt und wenn Du sie wieder aufarbeitet hast ... Mich tierisch freue 😊 ?
Why just why do people do this if u are finished playing a guitar or are bored of it donate it to a kid who can't afford a new 1,its just wrong....... Amazing transformation as always👍

モリダイラ製ビル持ってました！いいギターだったな〜。あと、25:52のshotmakerのリフ超好きです。
Bill Lawrence made really great and affordable stuff for working musicians back in the 70s & 80s, but never knew he made a complete guitar

主さんの楽器への愛を感じる👏
いつも楽しく拝見させていただいてます。
懐かしのシャケモデル、見事に綺麗になりました。👍😀
サウンドも最高です。👍👍🍀
Nice minimalistic guitar, it sounds great. I really like your unorthodox demo.
FACT: Bill Lawrence pickups were SO good that he only needed one single coil pickup to do the job in HIS guitars! (which up to this video I never knew he made!)
I knew Bill Lawrence was known for his amazing sounding pickups. I didn't know he built guitars too. Very nice, good Sir!
It was news to me as well. Great job on the overhaul. Going through the BLs online, the "average" price of his guitars rounds out to $850.00. Not bad at all. Great video.
My understanding is that he Did Not. But was unable to have his name taken off these Guitars.
This was bot the same Bill Lawrence of pickup fame.
レッドウォーリアーズのシャケモデルだ!!尖りすぎたスペックだからおぼえてる!!
Great job! It would have been nice to change the pick guard and add more pickups
8:17 my favourite part in these videos, frets gleaming and beautiful👍
You really brought it back to life. Also, Washer by Slint? YES
今日もスッキリしました♥️
今見るとシャケmodelは潔くてカッコ良い⭕️当時は1シングルで寂しく感じたけど、実際そんなにP.U 切り替えってしないし、十分ライブで活躍すると理解したのは大人なってからだったw w今こそ欲しい😅
ジャックカバーの裏にもマジックで書かれているのは予想外だった(笑)
I'm catching up on all your videos and look forward to watching this one. I particularly enjoyed the Guyatone guitar with the katana headstock.
Things I would like to see you doing in your next videos:
- A full fretwork (fret filing, crowning and polishing)
- I'll love to see you restoring your MESA speaker cabinet
オリジネーターな素晴らしいギタリスト ギターの持ち味も最高に引き出してますわ😊
かつて所有していました。考えてみると30年くらい前のモデルなんですよね！
キレイにしてくれて、自分のギターではないのに、なんだか「ありがとう」って気持ちですｗ
Always a treat when you post a new video. You do excellent work, thank you for sharing it with us!
I commend you for using the correct size screwdriver for each screw on this restore. I have seen many other videos where the person working uses the same screwdriver for any screw. It ruins the screw heads. I always stop the video when I see that reckless behavior. Good job!
きれいになるのもスゴいけど、音に雰囲気が有りまくる！
ヘッド裏のSTILL of the NIGHTは、ホワイトスネイクじゃなくてレッドウォリアーズのほうだろうなｗ
当時の同価格帯なら、近年ジャパビンとか持ち上げられているフェンダージャパンやフェルナンデスより、ビルローレンスのほうが音も品質も高かった印象。ピックアップも、このブラックラベルのほかｌ、L-250、L-500と名機揃い。
数年前に同ギターを試奏したらフレットは太く22フレット、ネックも厚みがあり2点止ブリッジ、ＰＵカバー無、とフェンダーのヴィンテージ調ストラトキャスターとはまるで別物でしたね。ＰＵカバーがないのが激しく弾くとＰＵを痛めそうでなんで？カバーレスなのかな。
I didn't know that Bill Lawrence ever built whole guitars. His pickups are legendary - that should be a fine sounding guitar.
They sold them in Japan. I don’t think it’s built by Bill himself, but he probably licensed his name.
This particolar model was called Essential
Absolutely. I had a strat with a dual rail humbucker from Bill way back in the early eighties. Best sound ever!
@@GYYYO Thanks for the info!

And that’s why man invented the camera. Document the past and move on. Buy the refurbished guitar then make it your own.

Beautiful finish color hidden by all the Marker writings revealed.
分解して初めて知りました、本はスリーシングルボディだったんですね？
てっきりリアピックアップのみのザグリだと思ってました。🤔
Excellent work as usual!👌🏼
Sounds proper to play some SLINT on it. Nice to hear some spiderland tunes randomly on youtube today :D
Another wonderful job on your part, sir! I can't get over what makes some people want to deface their instruments like that.
別の素晴らしい仕事、先生！一部の人々がそのような楽器を汚したいと思うものを乗り越えることはできません。
Great job. The guitar is like new .The master's hands are gold.🤩👍
That was: when a cheap guitar meets a dirty, irresponsible owner.
Nice work rescuing the guitar!
What a great job in the guitar, congrats!!!
Exquisite work. That blue finish is lovely
手間がスゴいですね。
楽器屋のリペアだったら錆びたネジは捨てて新しいのに替えるかそのまま使うと思う。ピックアップキャビティに導電塗料まで塗って、メーカー出荷時より品質上げてるのも感心します。
シングル1発、1Volの清いシャケモデル、キャビティはどうなっているのかずっと気になってたのでスッキリしました。
Hello Friend, nice restoration as usual and also discovering some brands of guitars is very enjoyable. This Strat type guitar has a tremendous sound despite its single pickup ! Well done Man, see you next video...
good old coalesce, nice one!
You are a truly cleaning artist!
You are a professional guitar cleaner. No fixing here, just scrubbing, ahah! Just kidding! Awesome work!
やっぱビル・ローレンスのギター、カッコいい！
あのカギみたいなヘッド、大好き！
どこかパテント取って復活させないかな？
黒い方をリサイクルショップで買ったけど、本当はこっちの色のが欲しかった……
A Bill Lawerence! I only ever heard of these guitars. I’ve never actually seen one. Yes folks, these are that rare.
If they're that rare...then why are there tons of them for sale on Ebay right now, lol. 🤔
@@HouseOfWoe I must have been thinking of the Wilde brand he produced. These look really similar.
Dude, you make great meditation videos, keep it up!
What a beautiful emo song in the end of the video ❤

Great job 👍

He grounded the conductive black paint and the claw.
Great relic, was
おお、懐かしい！
シャケモデルじゃん！
When I see something like this, I remember working my butt off all summer, and well into the fall to buy a red Fender Mustang dated July 1965. It was 9 years old and I was 14. I took meticulous care of that guitar because I had worked so hard for it.

Okay, Slint, now i'm in love!
Not a bad sounding guitar 🎸 with just a single coil pickup in the bridge position.. I normally see a humbucker in the bridge position but it still rocks..Great cleanup by the way..👍😁🤘🎤🎶🎵
Request please! put English subtitles, when showing the bottles with all Japanese text
Great job. Everyone: the springs should be straight. When you angle them like that the middle one does nothing.
ギターをレストアする系の動画見てると毎回思うけど一体どこからこんなギターを見つけてくるんだw
Lots of potential for mods as well
amazing work, mate. do you remember what tune you've been playing in first trial part? I can't remember what is it((
I like the wore off finish of the guitar
This is awesome
Beatiful job! I'd like to try a strat like that.
Beautiful! A request??? When you show us a bottle (Kanji, Hiragana or Katakana) and no English on the label... could you put an English label on the screen so we know what you are using? Not a big problem if you can't. Thank You and Best Regards and Best Wishes!
I pause the video and use Google lens translator with my smartphone.
シャケモデルか懐かしい
特徴的なシングルピックアップ配置とカラー、ヘッド見るまでビル・ローレンスってメーカー忘れてました。
I like the Slint riff!
AMAZING WORK! GREETINGS FROM ARGENTINA🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Nice clean up..
If you’d wanted to clean up the neck plate or any of the black parts. You could’ve buffed the neck plate and taken the pits out and re blackened them with “ Gun Blue” . Just some extra info. that I thought that you’d like to know.
Loving the Slint :)
If it's a low budget guitar with that much damage, I'll always repaint it. If it's a rarer, or higher end guitar or bass, I'll just restore the paint.
I love this channel!!!
I highly doubt he keeps any of the guitars he restores... he must restore them and resell them, refinishing them wouldn't make sense.
Can't lie, i actually liked and preferred the writing, it actually gave the axe some personality, like its been through and seen some shit. I definitely would of upgraded hardware and electrics but left the body and pickguard.

ビルローレンス、、懐かしい、、もうないですよね？🤔
Kannst Du es mir Glauben dass ich erst Schimpfen tue weil man diese Instrumente misshandelt und wenn Du sie wieder aufarbeitet hast ... Mich tierisch freue 😊 ?
彈得有內容!不會像很多吉他手彈很快但都不想自己彈得意義是甚麼?
シングルPU1発とヴォリュームのみは中々ユニークですね。
シャケモデルね。昔友達が使ってたな
おっ、ザグリは3Sだったのね
このザグリだとH-S-Hだよ。
当時、ビルローレンスのギターって品質の割に他の国産メーカーと比べても安かったから、汎用性のあるボディをストラトタイプのギター全般に使ってたんだと思う。
はい、よくよく見るとハム入りますね。H-S-H です。失礼しました。
こういう懐かしいギターを見ると、35年くらい前の事を思い出して
しまいますね。
goodjob😄😄😄
Nice Roland Jazz Chorus amp, too.
シャケモデルじゃないですか。！🙂🙂🙂
Personally I would of kept the writing on the guitar because of how cool it looks
Childish.
Where do you find these guitars? Do you find them locally or on ebay/reverb?
I'm curious also. I could never find that many "customized" guitars if I tried...
少なくともこのギターは、日本のネットオークションで売られていたのを見ました。
日本にはとんでもない状態の中古ギターがたくさんあるのです…
You are really good. 👍

どこからこんなギター見つけてきたんや…

とか打っても出ないレベル
多分「酷い事されて放棄されたギター」を扱う闇サイトがあるんだよ。😅この「ビル・ローレンス」は現行当時は廉価ギター扱いだったけど、今は状態が良ければ高値で取り引きされてる。ビルさんはPU界の重鎮だからね。これは小暮「シャケ」武彦モデル。1PUで人気があった。
しかし、こういった「英語だらけの落書き」するのは、英語が喋れなくてコンプレックスがある奴に多い。
シャケモデルですね💦
Who does that to a guitar? An example of the involution of the human species
Let this be a lesson kids - when you're thinking of putting a "way cool" sticker or writing on your guitar - DON'T!
I think the previous owner was a Blur fan?
Oh, I know that at 23:49, but what it is…? Slint ?
yes!
Difference with "play guitar" and "play with guitar"
好看的琴^^
幸好你沒有把拾音器改成SSH~
我喜歡這樣的配置
Why just why do people do this if u are finished playing a guitar or are bored of it donate it to a kid who can't afford a new 1,its just wrong....... Amazing transformation as always👍
Those are song names. I'm pretty sure he did that because it's just a normal boring strat and he wanted it to be more punk.
