Vintage Electric Guitar Restoration - 1976 Old Semi-acoustic Guitar Repair

This is a restoration and repair video of a hollow-body (semi-acoustic) electric guitar that was made in Ukraine in 1976 (then it was a part of the USSR). Briefly about the restoration work I did on this guitar: Refinishing / Painting Tuning pegs replacement Electronics repair Headstock repair Making a pickguard Frets replacement Deep cleaning and moisturizing of the neck Bridge replacement Pickguard cutting Now in detail. I bought this Lviv guitar for $30. It was in really terrible condition. When I saw this dirty and rusty guitar for the first time, I immediately understood that it needed a complete refinish. As I understood, someone in the nineties modified it badly (as a clue I found an old bus ticket of already independent Ukraine inside). To get to the electronics, the previous "luthier" simply cut off a piece of the guitar and then covered the hole with a piece of plastic. The frets on the neck were almost flat so I had to replace them. The fingerboard on this guitar has almost no radius (yes, it's almost completely flat). I also had to restore the part of the headstock (it was cut with a saw because it was an obstacle for the non-original pegs). I also had to remove rust and old paint from the tailpiece. This guitar had a lot of holes from the previous bridges, pickguards, etc. Overall, there isn't a spot left on this guitar that I haven't restored. 00:00 Intro 00:20 Removing guitar parts (tailpiece, bridge, electronics, pickguard...) 01:41 Drilling holes for a new stoptail bridge (stopbar) 02:00 Removing old tuning pegs 02:13 Removing old frets 02:26 Expanding existing holes for new tuners 02:52 Removing old paint from the neck and body 03:51 Cosmetic restoration of pickups 04:58 Cleaning and gluing the plastic binding 05:24 Repair of a broken guitar headstock 06:24 New frets installation 07:09 Filling holes in the body, headstock and plastic binding restoration with putty 08:10 New finish - applying paint 09:39 New tuning pegs installation 10:19 Stoptail bridge (stopbar) installation 10:33 Removing old paint and rust from the tailpiece 10:58 Tailpiece and new strings installation 11:20 Installing strap buttons 11:25 Repair and installation of guitar electronics 11:58 Making and installing a new pickguard 12:50 Before and after and sound demonstration
