Also saw this for sale and wondered if it was worth it. The case was quite an attractive offset. Decided I didn't have the budget so I'm delighted to have the chance to see what you can do with it. So far I totally with the ethos of your restoration. Looking forward to part 2.
That's so cool! Thanks for commenting, I was wondering if anyone else had seen this and had the same idea as me. I'm really glad you're enjoying the video. Part 2 coming very soon!
Awesome. Subscribed, and eagerly anticipating Part 2. I love the concept of sympathetic restoration. As a restorer myself, this is an education as well as anything else.
Thanks man! To be honest I don't come across this kind of deal every day either, and when this came up it was so crazy I thought it must be either a scam or a mistake. I took the risk anyway and here we are. It's not like I'm constantly on the hunt for deals like this, I just happened to be browsing Les Pauls on the bay. I hope you get lucky soon too. Part 2 out in the next week!
As someone who's scoured the "For Parts or Not Working" lisings on Ebay quite a lot, that is a spot on description. That said, I did get an outstanding 2007 Gibson SG husk for next to nothing. Because I already had most of the parts it would need in a spare parts bin, it cost less than a third to turn it into a really great guitar. That is the exception, not the rule however...
Absolutely. We could spend our lives hunting for the exceptions - on this occasion I just got a lucky break, right place, right time. Who knows then the next will come up! Thanks for watching and commenting!

I'll clarify the kind of values we're talking in part 2 but I'm not going to say exactly how much I paid for it as it wouldn't be fair to the seller.
Saw it on the LP FB, fun stuff
me too
Thanks man, thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching and for your kind comment dude! That's high praise!
awesome, can't wait for part 2
Thanks man, me neither! Not long now!
Man I never come across deals like that. I will continue to look. I will be watching you getting the parts and putting it together, nice score.

Great video! Exactly what I come to this channel for: guitar maintenance/restoration that can be done by anyone with a bit of nouse.
Thanks man as always for watching. Part 2 going up as soon as I have all the parts! Hopefully you'll dig the others I put up in the meantime :)
Part 2?
Should be up on Tuesday - it's taken way longer for the parts to come than I expected, sorry for the delay and thanks for your patience!
