Looks good B! I always hit the exposed wood with the vinegar/ steel wool tea which gives it that aged grey look. Nice looking job… I’ve never played a Mustang…hmmm, no I have 12 electrics, don’t need another one! But wanting is another story!

Thank ya Sir! Yup! Was doing the steel wool and vinegar for a while till my GF got annoyed about it! Had to find a more pleasant alternative! And what's wrong with 13?! Cheers Mark! Happy Sat!

Nice work! It looks convincing, it matches the rest of the wear, and doesn't look phony or overdone. Back before Mustangs became hip, people were robbing them and plundering them for parts, mostly pickups and neck plates. If you're into saggy cathode biased amps with tube rectifiers like Tweeds and old Gibsons, mustang pickups work great in Strats because they're slightly underwound, and they cut down on the wooly flubbiness that you sometimes get with Tweeds. You get just a bit more clarity. Neck plates are worth a lot of money in some cases. An L series neck plate from a mustang can sometimes be worth $500 or more. Somebody probably cannibalized yours back before Kurt Cobain. Same thing with a pickup signed by Abigail Ybarra and dated 1964. My Mustang is a January 1965 honky tonk war horse that I've had since '97. I'm the second owner. The guy bought it brand new in Jacksonville FL, and gigged it all around the Gulf coast and down into Mexico for decades, and it shows. He had to use it for a defensive weapon in lots of rough places many times, and it shows. In spite of all this, it plays like butter and sounds phenomenal. Kids who grew up on Nirvana and Sonic Youth definitely appreciate it, but you can also see Duane Allman playing one in the Allman Joys era. It needs absolutely nothing, and making any kind of changes to it would be unthinkable. Again, hats off to you for a first rate job on your time traveller! CHEERS!

Thanks for the kind words J! Yea those plates now are fetching astronomical sums. Went hunting and called it once I saw an L plate going for 600 on fleabay. You gotta take some pics of that thing! Those southeast Fenders go through the humidity ringer. I bet that Mustang looks absolutely royal. Cheers J! And thanks for watching!

@@breilly66 My Dakota red is several shades darker than yours, probably from a half century's worth of being marinated in cigarette smoke and having enough beer spilled on it to fill an Olympic swimming pool. It's had a rough life but it was well taken care of, at least in the functional areas where it counts. I could send you pictures if you want to give me a place to send them besides KZitem.

Always such a pleasure to watch a master at his craft. Your end result is always breathtakingly convincing. Btw, a few years ago I had an issue with sputtering Gracey’s paint and Madison’s Music took care of me. Something to consider (:

Greatly appreciated Ramiro! Yea! They usually are so good! But admittedly when I messaged them, they didn't appear to be reading my messages. The responses just kept assuming I didn't know how to insert a cap. They went radio quiet silent when I asked for a replacement can. When they stopped responding I pushed on with the can. Basically modifying the nozzle to fit just hoping to get it shooting at all. I was lucky it threw anything really. Odd as I've been buying from them for a decade and they were always so good on customer service. They seemed uninterested. 🤔 Dude, thanks as always for sticking with this channel. It's growing, bit I remember loading vids and getting 5 views the first few days. And I feel like it's starting to get it's feet under it. ✊️

Thank you for filming and describing your work so well, really helpful. I'm in two minds about the freezer checking, but your results look great, did you heat the body at all with a hair dryer? ...and did you put it back in the freezer more than once?

wow, that WAS a great paintjob on a great old guitar.....but then to go back and make it look like a beat up POS...never understood that, it earned all those chips and dings, let it do so again or why even refinish it in the first place. that is straight up stolen valor....

If you saw mine, you wouldn't be able to say that because it's a time traveller that was gigged from Jacksonville all around the Gulf coast and into Mexico for decades. Beat up? Definitely. POS? No way today. I'm the second owner. The original owner did all of the wear that it has from 1965 to around 1994.
