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 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. 🤷
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.
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.
Kudo's to your excellent and artistic work here! 👍 Just curious what does a SG with this type of repair sell for? Just want to hear/compare what it would have been worth vs what a repair such as this one does to the price? in other words how much of it's original value did it lose due to being a now repaired SG?
I can be pedantic too: Stanley is a brand name and these aren't Stanley brand blades, so I guess the generic 'Utility Knife Blade' is what we should be referring to them as. Razor Blade just sounds better to say.
That Iron Man intro is missing the E note on the D string. It’s a similar sound to how the notes rub on Whole Lotta Love. Just thought you should know.
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.
I have always loved SG's but never bought one . I like to Shred and dont remember any of my 80's Guitar Hero's like Lynch or DeMartini shredding on a SG why I wonder ???
More than a few people have replaced or reinstalled humbucker covers only to find their pickup now sounds like GARBAGE. Don't let Colin trick you into thinking it goes perfect every time. It doesnt. People get squealing and all sorts of issues after swapping covers. Even after putting new wax in the cover to help it deaden the vibrations, their pickup never works right again. Don't make the mistake of ruining your pickup because you've been lead to believe it's a painless procedure that works 100% of the time. It does not. I wanted to swap magnets in mine. After reading all 9f the stories about all of the issues people have had I chose not to. I can't afford to ruin my pickups on accident. So I won't be changing magnets. Oh well. And it wasn't just first timers modifying their pickups that were having their pickups ruined. It was people with all different amounts of experience. A lot. A little. It doesn't matter. It can happen to all of us.
I have an Epiphone SG Modern that was shipped to me and regrettably arrived with a very similar break at the body. Due to an illness I was unable to return it to the company I purchased it from in a timely manner..nRather than go to war with them, I wonder if you know anyone in the USA capable of this type of repair.. New the guitar cost $550 so I need to keep the repair fairly reasonable. The neck has an Ebony fretboard so if all possible I’d like to save the neck. Any recommendations for me? I live in Virginia so someone on the East Coast would be preferable.
A quick question possibly for Too Afraid To Ask - Can the Graphtech saddles improve tuning stability on guitars with regular Tune-O-Matic bridge? According to Graphtech they decrease string breakage. That sounds plausible and if true, they should improve tuning stability as well.
You didn’t say what you got the axe for. It would be interesting to know how much if anything you saved by purchasing a broken one and repairing it yourself.
I drilled out a piece of wood from a curtain pole with two different diameters top (top snug for bolt) and bottom and placed a bolt in the hole and took out my posts that way (glued some material to the bottom to stop any marking on the body) 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
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!
oh no dont paint it a solid color because it may appear as something its not "unrepaired". but the shiny stuff sure do what you can to deceive. lol irony much? of course great job great work.

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!
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.
@@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.
That song brings back memories of my first good rock band.
The hard work you put into this really shows in the end product. Very impressive!
Couldn’t resist doing Sabbath could you 😂🤟
Reminds me of my late 60s standard. Its an awesome looking guitar!
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...
Nice job on the restoration Colin. \m/ Sounds great!
Video idea: History of short-scale guitars, famous players, and their uses.
A certain Canadian: (throws the gibson in the trash)
Colin: (takes the gibson and fixes it to whole)
As lord Angus and Iommi intend.
When I was watching the sponsor spot, I could have sworn I heard our favorite orangutan with pubes for hair yelling "POWAH" in the distance.
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.
Sweet thanks
Fair play!
I never got to do it but the headstock broke on my friends sg and I had plans to convert it into a headless
Excellent work! ❤
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!
I’m just here for the algorithm.
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.

top tier work!
Your builds and repairs really inspired me to take luthier work as both a hobby and a way to make some money. Thanks Colin.
Awesome repair job, Colin. Well done.
Kudo's to your excellent and artistic work here! 👍 Just curious what does a SG with this type of repair
sell for? Just want to hear/compare what it would have been worth vs what a repair such as this one does to the price?
in other words how much of it's original value did it lose due to being a now repaired SG?
I like that Vibrola that goes up to the bridge. Did you have to drill to attach it to the guitar or is it a drop in? I want one for my 66 reissue sg.
That's no a razor blade. That's a Stanley blade. Just being pedantic!!!
I can be pedantic too: Stanley is a brand name and these aren't Stanley brand blades, so I guess the generic 'Utility Knife Blade' is what we should be referring to them as.
Razor Blade just sounds better to say.
I wish I could double subscribe to you with videos like this. I love that you don't give up on an axe.
Yay! The SG is risen and totally shreds!
Nice bit of iron man there Colin
YEHHHH FINALLY
"Heading out to that Highway"
Was that a Judas Priest reference Colin?
I got nothing to lose at all, making that reference.
That Iron Man intro is missing the E note on the D string. It’s a similar sound to how the notes rub on Whole Lotta Love. Just thought you should know.
Listen again, because it's in there.
@@ScienceofLoud - Ah ok. I didn’t see you do it in the video.
You should name the guitat Fawkes as in Dumbledore's Phoenix from Harry Potter
Fair play to you Colin this is an absolute triumph and a pleasure to watch
Great restoration, and congrats on having Omaze as a sponsor. Certainly seems like a step up from most guitar RUclipsrs.
Call me biased but you’ve obviously got Celtic Blood which gives you the advantage moChora. Nice job brother.
Great repaur job. Even Ted \|Woodford would have appreciated this one.
cant waittttt!! is the huricane still alive tho?
I absolutely enjoy the detailed recount of the restoration experience!
May this comment help with the algorithm.
Wait. Did Geezer use a pick?
What are the humbucker pickups on this model?
Is it the '57 classic humbuckers?
Hi Colin,
Where did you get the humbucker pickguard for your SG?
I could do with a new one myself
Regards
JJ
I watched all these videos and it definitely sounds better after you put the P90s in it in the later videos
Love all the work except the addition of a vibrola. Excellent work.
Kinda late gang here, but finally!
Hope you play some SABBATH with the P-90s in Pt. 3, since that's what Iommi's Monkey guitar has.
You turned a 2005 Gibson SG into a 1969 Gibson SG genius
That was brilliant that! Especially the playing at the end! Thanks for that!
Great job 👏 Is it possible for the neck to crack due to string tension ?
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.

“And if I were Jeremy Clarkson, I might know what any of that means.”
Same buddy
There is no comparison between an SG with PAF style humbuckers and one with P90's. everyone needs one of each

It may be that the graphtech saddles are a softer material then the oem metal saddles preventing them from snapping the strings.
Hey Colin. Why not put a P90 in the neck but keep the humbucker in the bridge?
You didn’t say what you got the axe for.
It would be interesting to know how much if anything you saved by purchasing a broken one and repairing it yourself.
Lovely restoration, I think you overdid the aging on the vibrola a little, especially because it has such a lovely engraving (kudos!!)
I drilled out a piece of wood from a curtain pole with two different diameters top (top snug for bolt) and bottom and placed a bolt in the hole and took out my posts that way (glued some material to the bottom to stop any marking on the body) 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Finally a new video to enjoy my whisky with 💪🏻💪🏻

oh no dont paint it a solid color because it may appear as something its not "unrepaired". but the shiny stuff sure do what you can to deceive. lol irony much? of course great job great work.
Wow. Great sounds and great fix!
You don't need a vibrola on an sg, just flex your gut, viola!!
after your hear the p90 in the neck you need to make a humbi and p90 Pickguard too
What was the guitar tool he used to remove the bushes off the guitar body?
Everybody knows nickel > chrome
You've done an amazing job getting that neck back onto the body.
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
That’s a £4000 Mod Shop guitar now.
Just now i realize colin must watch twoodford
Great black sabbath cover that sg sounds great. Great job
Put that thing in b standard and rip some Electric Wizard
Where did you take the wood used for fill the stop tail hole? another sg? :P
Comment for RUclips viability
I used to watch Bob Ross, now I watch Colin Scott.
all the algoritthms.
Nice job on the Iron Man cover, Colin.
Holy smokes is that sweet or what? Great job
Been waiting for this conclusion!
Decided today I need notifications for this channel
I do wish you would show BcRich a lil' Love
It's amazing what Gibson was able to do with a toilet seat lid
Great video! Like the haircut!
I like this guitar a lot. Very good job.
Best guitar channel around 👌
Great video. Cheers
Can't wait for the P90 setting!
Great work ..Sounds super !
looks great! can't see the repair at a distance.
That's some fantastic Sabbath!
Yeah! Best video you’ve ever made!
Nicely done.👍☘️🇺🇦
Where did you get the tool to take out the inserts for the bridge ? Very curious about that. I need something like this. :-)
Also where can i find part 3 ?
Great job there Colin well done !
Nice Clarkson reference...lol
Absolutely BADASS
My inner Iommi is grinning
that looks absolutely killer
