I had a couple old 20s & 30s radios with the big wood cabinets the size of steamer trunks that I wanted to clean up. Murphy's Oil Soap is the thing to use. Comes in a liquid concentrate and already mixed. Works great and doesn't hurt varnish or shellac. Smells good, too.

My first guitar was a 70s Mustang that we found at a flea market. It had black lacquer over that polyester dip coat. The lacquer was badly cracked and wiped off with acetone but the acetone didn’t affect the polyester at all. The sealer was so thick that you could see light between your finger and the wood that seemed to be about 2mm.
Sup Dave...i actually got me start in the paint and art world bizz 40 years ago by painting the Fender logo in paint for Ric Ocasek (the Cars) on his headstock cause he didn't like the sticker. Some folks just like the added touch. Rock on and nice work with a smile you do. H.L.
I love that we can get Fender water slide decals. I have replaced a few myself. I’ve done a few “Les Paul Model” decals, even though they’re screen printed at the factory . They look great after a few coats of nitro. Can’t even tell a repair was done. That being said, I don’t like the thought of scammers getting one over on an uneducated guitar buyer. It happens. Great jorb there Davie!
Gooched: The word that means absolutely anything you like. From finding a fly in your soup to dropping a $50 K guitar into a pool full of piranha. love it. Dave you gotta be the best fixer in the business buddy.
I love Dave! Hes the twin brother of the guy who used to Dyno tune my race bikes. Super crabby, with zero tolerance for idiocy, but nobody better at what he did!
weren't some of your video's from years back refinish films that you did behind a plastic screen using an airbrush? I ask because I was looking for them for tips on how to do mine on a 3 P-90 guitar headstock a few months back. I see now that I'm going to have to do more coats to make it nice, thick, and shiny like you mentioned. 23:01 Liked & shared 8-|
hahaha..."a poop stain in your shorts".."turd brown" those jems will keep me going all day...A real pro job Dave, well done fella...the most bizzarre clean up I have ever done was beef blood that had dripped onto a very expensive vinyl record, after going through all the usual suspects with solvents, soaps and water...I ended up eating it away with organic bio yoghurt.
Why O why did you say rock hard? My wife heard that and ordered a few bottles leaving me with very high anxiety and afraid to go to sleep! Thanks Dave!! Great job though. That looked tricky. **note to self** Always earphones!!
"Alcohol is the winner" grabs the Ronsinol .... "Alcohol is the winner" grabs the Goo-Gone ..... "Alcohol's the winner" reminisces on Easy-Off Oven Fuckin Cleaner. Quit smokin pot bruh
Question: When you get this type of work, where there is damage/tooling/aging from either prior owners/manufacturers/repairmen, do you ever need to ask the owner if they want to keep that look left from its history? I could imagine someone wanting that completely gone, or also leaving it there. Some of these vids over the years feel like art restoration, how/when do you/they decide what is left untouched?
I'm also putting on a Fender headstock decal that I am putting on. It looks like there was another decal on it bur somebody scraped it of. Looks like it once was a"uire" decal. Dawn dish soap and water clean that decal right up
Back in the 70's Fender used a different finish than they had in the 50's and 60's. An unfortunate side effect was that it reacted badly with the headstock decals, when it was applied over them. (sort of what you stated in the video) So they continued to use the new, durable poly finish on the rest of the guitar and used the old lacquer to the headstocks so they could apply a decal, then clear over it. I have a late 70's strat that has this same different aged finishes effect.
Yeah, in this case especially, the logo don't matter. The paint being gone and all. As long as the correct logo replacement is used and application matches that of the original. Just like replacing the badges on a restro car, you don't want to, original is always best but as long as it's the right part and right fit and is not being passed off as something it isn't then it's ok.
Dave, if you ever need to do this again, maybe consider using an Automotive "Caramel" wheel. Basically a rubber wheel that body shops use to remove decals on car bodies, it smells like Caramel!!
Joby, 409 is truly harsh stuff. My go-to cleaner for smoke residue is OxyClean crystals dissolved in warm water, with a little bit of dish soap added. I don't know how safe it is for an unpainted wood surface, but it's excellent for cleaning my deck planking and (stained) cedar siding. Most wood cleaners for decks and siding are just overpriced chlorine laundry bleach.
I wonder if Goo Gone would work on that. It's well known that Goo is just short for Gooch. EDIT: Heh. You tried it like 1 minute into the video after I posted this. :)
i learn on all these videos and thank you dave for the education. that said, on a 70s guitar, doesnt this refinish and redecal ruin the value? all these people that like originality this just seems it would kill it. course i know its a jazz base not a P bass
Hey Dave, I'm still laughing my ass off because my wife just came down stairs from the kitchen which is full of smoke from her burning the grilled sausages and she says "that fucking Dave has been here and we've been gooched". Previously she has watch one of your vids and asked " what does gooched mean?" I told her anything she liked it to mean where there's been a major screw up. See what you have started now.

The headstock edges are probably nitro overspray.

Did you consider the logo complete after another 3 coats, or did you sand it to level it off and then respray more coats?

ease Sr. you a not luthier donchya?
Looks just like "polishing a turd" !
A Clockwork Orange reference droog.
Goo Gone removes decals nicely
"Any job large or small do it right or not at all."
you use American logo or UK logo?
You look and sound to young to have remembered the day Jimi passed
Would turpentine or artificial turpentine kill the lacquer?
Don't use alcohol for this, but toothpaste with cotton.
I wonder if Goo Gone would work on that. It's well known that Goo is just short for Gooch.

hahha so when someone shoots their goo that's a gooch? lol

Removing the finish on your headstock with a angle grinder??? I don't think I could implement that!
Why is it so...that my 2 favourite youtube channels are bass players named Dave?(When i'm a guitarist haha) ruclips.net/channel/UCgFvT6pUq9HLOvKBYERzXSQ
I think Fender logos from the 70s are the best looking ones to me
💙👊😎
4:00 tobacco burst
Peroxide or white vinegar
I usually give it the sniff test to see where I've been and haven't been...
Dammit, my dog hacked my account again!
Fender sealed headstock decals with nitro even after they moved to poly. At a guess they used low quality nitro over time.
Dave, Ronson lighter fluid? Easy-Off oven cleaner? Talk about product placement. Are you going "commercial" on us now? Say it ain't so.
@18:13 Probably an angle grinder. Haha.
When Fender used to have real wood underneath the finish. Not scrap wood of today
Whats with the comment Jumping Ship? More please
Man fingers no man
Leanardo di Stinky...
just paint the headstock black
Try a bottle of rye.
