Great repair Colin, once the colour was on and left for a while it was very difficult to see the repair at all. You'd only notice it up really close. You brought it 'back from the dead'!!! Weird break on an SG, especially the Standard, since it has a bigger lump of wood where the neck joins compared to say a '61. It's usually the headstock that breaks, because the mahogany (despite being a hardwood) always seems to be soft and brittle to me. It's supposed to very strong, but that's not been my experience. Maybe it the type of mahogany they use. Gibson aren't really 'road' guitars, because they need a lot of care and are pretty fragile it seems, especially with that headstock pitch!!! If you have a 'gorilla grip', they aren't the guitar for you!!!
On yellowing plastics: I have many vintage keyboards for PC (two of them are in daily use), and if the pickguards are made out of ABS, then you can try yellowing the white parts with some extra UV light, but it might not be a few-day job.
@@JonManProductions it only whitens plastic if some oxidizing agents are present, like hydrogen-peroxide. Otherwise it just yellows plastic as normal, and is the main reason why plastic yellows in the first place.
Excellent job My Scotsman! I wouldn't bother with the P90's in this guitar as these PUP's suit the guitar very well. Impressed by your wood working skills.
Very nice repair. I have a Westfield, very basic SG Guitar, but it is a solid build/copy of this guitar without the vibrato - I would love to add that to my Westfield, bought very cheaply as a project guitar. Also, I note that you wind pickups. A few years ago and they pass quickly for me now as I am well over 60. I found someone in the Scottish western isles winding their own pickups. I mentioned this in a comment on Irish guitarist KDH Video, and found that I could no longer find the Pickup Winder. But, KDH is interested in people who wind pickups, I like his channel, and I like your channel too.
Great video Colin. The SG is definitely my favourite Gibson guitar ever. Love the other ones but, this is their most modern guitars even today. I own around 15 guitars and several have a slim neck including, an Ibanez RG Prestige with the Wizard neck, a Chapman Pro Ghost Fret(similar neck to the Ibanez), Jackson soloist, Jackson King V, a les Paul Modern with the asymmetrical neck and I always keep going back to the SG. For me it is perfection. Yes a little bit of neck dive. But if you can’t hold up the neck of an SG because it’s to heavy or annoying whilst playing a gig you are a very weak person or caught up in the hype of guitar player bullshit mythology. Best and easiest guitar I have ever played and alway worth the neck repair. And of course, this is only my opinion and others are always going to feel differently. Thanks for the video mate.
Mate that was top notch work! I commented on part one, it was already looking like a great repair but in this part you really drove it home. Bloody amazing work, seriously!
Love your work restoring the SG. The SG was the last guitar I used in session work in LA. I have a real connection there. Thanks for bringing back memories.
That solo was AMAZING!!!!! Maybe I’m a bit biased because Iron Man is one of my favorite Sabbath songs but it was a real treat to hear you play that! Also if I tried the intro on my Strat I’m pretty sure the whammy bar would break off lol! You have perfect tone and technique!
Excellent repair job! Not so sure about antiquing the pickup covers and beautifully engraved tailpiece. Maybe it was the filming, etc. On camera, those parts looked like they were covered in grease. I imagine they look much better in person. 🤷
Fantastic work man! As an amateur luthier I have seen good neck break repairs and bad repairs. Your repair job on this SG is as good as I have ever seen! As you mentioned, if this was a painted guitar the repair would be invisible.
Loved you're bevels in the previous video, and the finish work here. Just got an 05 standard and it has a whole ass buckle glued to the body 😅. Easiest thing to do is utilize the posts for a b5 with a vibramate but I was thinking about fashioning a GT hood scoop inspired tailpiece.
Beautiful job my friend 👌A little tip for strip sanding is to change the direction of eatch pull, makes it easier the remove the scratches left by the previous grit of paper and a smoother and shinier finish.
Gorgeously restored guitar, and as always some extremely good video production. The tone is already good and I'm not sure about the p90 swap but it'll give it a more sharper sound. I'd have to take a proper listen to really tell, which I'm looking forward to.
superb work as usual... so glad to see you age the new hardware and that etched vibrola cover is gorgeous! a lot of new guitars I see being reviewed online have a vintage looking finish on the body with super shiny chrome hardware and it just ruins the overall look. nothing looks cheaper than chrome. so again, glad to see you share the same aesthetic tastes as myself.

Never mind "Does it Djent?" The question is "Does it Doom?" and all evidence suggests it very much does.
There's a youtube channel for that lol
Does it Doom is my buddy I order T-shirts from him and he always sends me two for the price of one
Out of curiosity, are we talking Doom Metal or iD Software's Doom. Hard to know on RUclips lol.
@@scottcollins5240 I'm happy with either, to be honest
The new metal parts looked so good, didn't need to age them, the body of the guitar shines like new and the iron is rusty
me: not a big fan of SGs
Colin: repairs broken SG and turns it into a monster cool SG
me: GASes for an SG
damn you, Colin!!
Treat yourself, you deserve it!
Absolutly epic restoration. The engraving on the vibrola is very cool!
The hard work you put into this really shows in the end product. Very impressive!
On yellowing plastics:
I have many vintage keyboards for PC (two of them are in daily use), and if the pickguards are made out of ABS, then you can try yellowing the white parts with some extra UV light, but it might not be a few-day job.
I thought UV was used for retrobrite treatments? unless UV on its own yellows plastics.

Excellent job My Scotsman! I wouldn't bother with the P90's in this guitar as these PUP's suit the guitar very well. Impressed by your wood working skills.
Nice job on the restoration Colin. \m/ Sounds great!
Video idea: History of short-scale guitars, famous players, and their uses.
Yay! The SG is risen and totally shreds!
Your builds and repairs really inspired me to take luthier work as both a hobby and a way to make some money. Thanks Colin.
I absolutely enjoy the detailed recount of the restoration experience!
May this comment help with the algorithm.
Love all the work except the addition of a vibrola. Excellent work.
I wish I could double subscribe to you with videos like this. I love that you don't give up on an axe.
oh ive been waiting for this episode!
also ive been thinking of starting luthiering as a "hobby", partly inspired by you
so thank you Colin!
That song brings back memories of my first good rock band.
You've done an amazing job getting that neck back onto the body.
You turned a 2005 Gibson SG into a 1969 Gibson SG genius
Great restoration, and congrats on having Omaze as a sponsor. Certainly seems like a step up from most guitar RUclipsrs.

Best guitar channel around 👌
That was brilliant that! Especially the playing at the end! Thanks for that!
Decided today I need notifications for this channel

Fair play to you Colin this is an absolute triumph and a pleasure to watch
Awesome repair job, Colin. Well done.
You're a Master at your craft.
Sweet! I’ve been working on ‘Iron Man’ for months. So jealous of your chops and repair skills!
Mate that was top notch work! I commented on part one, it was already looking like a great repair but in this part you really drove it home. Bloody amazing work, seriously!
Finally a new video to enjoy my whisky with 💪🏻💪🏻
Love your work restoring the SG. The SG was the last guitar I used in session work in LA. I have a real connection there. Thanks for bringing back memories.
that looks absolutely killer
Can't wait for the P90 setting!
Reminds me of my late 60s standard. Its an awesome looking guitar!
Great job all around! I appreciate all you put into producing this video- background, repair and demo with the HB p/u’s . New subscriber here
Lovely restoration, I think you overdid the aging on the vibrola a little, especially because it has such a lovely engraving (kudos!!)
Great black sabbath cover that sg sounds great. Great job
That solo was AMAZING!!!!! Maybe I’m a bit biased because Iron Man is one of my favorite Sabbath songs but it was a real treat to hear you play that! Also if I tried the intro on my Strat I’m pretty sure the whammy bar would break off lol! You have perfect tone and technique!
This is such a great project. None vintage guitar design more mojo than an SG. Great cover as well!
Great job - and always great to hear some classic Sabbaff!
That's some fantastic Sabbath!
Honestly, superb work with the finish blending, even professionals can have difficulty with that, especially with transparent finishes like this.
Yeah! Best video you’ve ever made!
Wonderful results: the repair is barely visible and the tones are awesome !!👍🏻👏🏻🤘🏻
Great job there Colin well done !
YES, finally here!
What an awesome job.
Couldn’t resist doing Sabbath could you 😂🤟
The sound of the guitar is mood! great restoration!
I've been waiting for this day! Didn't disappoint!
Great video. Cheers
Superb job fella.
That looks fantastic!
Thanks Mr.CS as an SG enjoyer i really appreciate this video.
Wow. Great sounds and great fix!
Great job and I totally agree on not trying to hide the repair. It adds to the history of the guitar
I like this guitar a lot. Very good job.
What?? No funny blooper ending? Great video.. love the details, especially the acid oxidation! Looks and sounds... KILLAH! 🤘😎🎸🐦
Vintage voiced hot stack P90s with metal covers and overvound PAFs (T-tops) are *THE* SG pickups. Can't imagine why you'd want anything else
Great repaur job. Even Ted \|Woodford would have appreciated this one.
Excellent repair job! Not so sure about antiquing the pickup covers and beautifully engraved tailpiece. Maybe it was the filming, etc. On camera, those parts looked like they were covered in grease. I imagine they look much better in person. 🤷
same. I thought the vibrola looked horrible with the aging after being so beautifully carved
@@meriwoo7382 Yeah, relicing is pretty darn stupid. the shirt will get old soon enough, just play the damn thing...
Great work. And great playing at the end.
Was wondering if I missed the second installment! Guess not. Great restoration!
Turned out great 👍
Fantastic work man! As an amateur luthier I have seen good neck break repairs and bad repairs. Your repair job on this SG is as good as I have ever seen! As you mentioned, if this was a painted guitar the repair would be invisible.
Been waiting for this so bad! Great work man!
Fantastic job!
Excellent work! ❤
Fantastic results, Colin!
Nice job on the Iron Man cover, Colin.
Loved you're bevels in the previous video, and the finish work here.

Excellent work! A new life for the guitar!
Looks and sounds great, gem of a guitar!
Stellar job Colin!
Sweet thanks
Incredible work.
Awesome job on this Colin !!
Yes! What a fantastic way to start the day, I've been looking forward to this! Final product looks amazing, great work!
Absolutely BADASS
Wow. What an awesome repair job. Subscribed. Keep the content coming.
Wow great work...really enjoyed the series so far
Top job. Excellent demo. Nuff said.
Been waiting for this conclusion!
Man, that turned out killer! Can I suggest a set of witch hat knobs to bring the whole thing together?
Dude you are a genius 👏
Gorgeously restored guitar, and as always some extremely good video production.
The tone is already good and I'm not sure about the p90 swap but it'll give it a more sharper sound.
I'd have to take a proper listen to really tell, which I'm looking forward to.
Fair play!
Absolutely awesome work, Colin.
superb work as usual... so glad to see you age the new hardware and that etched vibrola cover is gorgeous! a lot of new guitars I see being reviewed online have a vintage looking finish on the body with super shiny chrome hardware and it just ruins the overall look. nothing looks cheaper than chrome. so again, glad to see you share the same aesthetic tastes as myself.
Great work ..Sounds super !
Man, thats was just an incredible fix. It sounds great too. I think you know it in this one🤗
Awesome job, and great playing!
Amazing work, mate.
A certain Canadian: (throws the gibson in the trash)
Colin: (takes the gibson and fixes it to whole)
As lord Angus and Iommi intend.
Great video! Like the haircut!
looks great! can't see the repair at a distance.
Awesome job! Looks and sounds great.
Sgoinneil! A fantastic restoration.
Holy smokes is that sweet or what? Great job
Hey we have the same coffin ring haha and the tone of the guitar sounds rad dude
