It looks so good! I love vintage-looking goldtop so much so I'm glad we can finally see a real Goldtop relic video walkthrough. To be honest, it looks way better than what murphy lab has done on goldtops.
Dr., when you first began tapping the maple top with the metal rod my first, involuntary reaction was, "Hey, that could dent it!", then I realized what was happening. You stay safe over there.
Thanks for the video. Great! Can you do a silverburst paint job, like the Adam Jones Les Paul custom? That would be interesting to watch. Greetings from Norway!!
You are a true artist!!! Best goldtop relic I have ever seen! What is the color of the green anilin dye? Unless it’s another kind of dye? Thanks for posting this!!!

Thank you. I am not a supporter of the relic of the working part of the neck, as this affects the convenience of the game. But for Strаts and Tele, I just don't use varnish on the working part of the neck. The wood is left open.
@@8BombCustom That makes sense. I've an old heavily play 1986 Les Paul that has almost no finish on the neck, in that respect it does feel like a Fender (at least my left-hand thumb thinks so.
@@hkguitar1984 The big problem with Gibson, I mean modern guitars, is their soft and sticky nitro finish. But uncoated mahogany neck is not as smooth as maple. Maple is well polished and has no pores in the wood, so unvarnished and polished maple necks are very pleasant to the touch and very fast. I prefer a thin layer of hard nitro without plasticizers for mahogany. Then, when nitro shrinking, the texture of the wood comes through a little and a microlayer of air is obtained between the hand and the neck. Just as if the back of the neck was matted with sandpaper.
@@8BombCustom Agreed. Over the years I'd had to re-apply a flash coat of lacquer over the back of the neck to protect it from humidity/moisture. What you've explained (air layer) is part of the idea behind the "Z-Glide" necks designed by Dean Zelinsky. Love you content, lots of really good information. While I'm not a builder I do modify and repair instruments for friends. I enjoy working on guitars as much as playing them. Be Well Sir, and again, Thank You

It depends on the hardness of the nitro, the preparation, the degree of drying and the effect I want to get. The time can be from one hour to several cycles of 12 hours.

It depends on the varnish, how dry it is, the temperature and the effect I want to achieve. Sometimes 1 hour is enough, sometimes several cycles of 8 hours. If the neck is made of properly selected wood, then it is safe.

does tapping the surface with the metal rod after coming out of the freezer helps the checkings to form?
Yes.

May I ask about your refrigerator method for surface cracking?
Temperature and duration?

What model is it? And how are you making it green up?

Such a beautiful job.
You've captured the aged caramel color often seen on original vintage instruments.
Will you relic the back of the neck?

How long do you leave it in the freezer for?

How long do you leave a guitar in the freezer for checking purpose? Won't it cause warped neck?
It depends on the varnish, how dry it is, the temperature and the effect I want to achieve. Sometimes 1 hour is enough, sometimes several cycles of 8 hours. If the neck is made of properly selected wood, then it is safe.

Hi, where are you from? I would like to repaint my new Standard les paul. I AM FROM EUROPE
Hi. Im from Belarus. Unfortunately now i can’t take orders for repainting from aboard

Thank you. It was watercolor paint
gold top is the hardest to relic because its hard to replicate the greenish to my opinion but good works nonetheless, bravo!
Truth. . Thank you
