- i bought this guitar years ago and aways enjoyed how it plays and sounded but it is pretty plain looking so i veneered the top and moved the input jack to the side,i put it back together to finish this video but in a few weeks when the finish is completely dry ill take it back apart and buff and polish the finish
thanks for watching
thank you for watching My videos are for entertainment only. Woodworking can be dangerous. The methods I use are my methods, and are not necessarily correct or safe! If in doubt, DON'T DO IT, it is best to learn more before you start. And always remember to read, understand and follow, all the manufacturers instructions that come with your tools. Always wear all necessary protection equipment, the safety in your workshop is your responsibility,
Be safe and have fun,happy making
Sir you have given me the confidence to veneer my Les Paul jr and my tesico sg. Though that could use a couple layers to bring it back up to thickness.
Wow you did amazing things crafting that top. But I cannot help thinking that some black stain would have been spot on.
How would you re -veneer a schecter s1 elite with abalone binding?

Thats looks pretty awesome
Trying to do the same on a beat up Epiphone sg. The previous owner decided to take a chisel to sections of the body.
Was it spray adhesive you used for the veneer? I had read spray adhesive wasn’t a great choice for veneer, but seems to have worked great.
What type of finish did you use. Lacquer?
I used spray glue but I don't think I will if I do it again ,it worked but I had to reglue some edges ,yes laquer for the finish , thanks for watching
What do you charge to do this??
So you used the spray adhesive! Have you had good luck with it in the past and any particular brand of glue to use?
I've only tried this twice , regular wood glue left ripples in the veneer so for me it didn't work,so I'd say any good contact adhesive is my go to
@@sdmcustoms What brand do you recommend?
Awesome stuff
Thank you
Nice!
Thank you

Thanks I just use spray on contact adhesive
I find Etsy is a good place for veneers
Thanks for watching
what tools are you using? I want to do this myself but I don't know how to make good cuts on the veneer.
What kind of glue did you use by chance?
Plz eggsplain how you knew where to cut the holes for the pickup cavities. Did you use a template?
You can push on the veneer and feel where the cavity is or a paper template referenced off the neck pocket works too
@@sdmcustoms thx
But how to make the veneer sticks tpnthe bevel parts?
Glue
Pretty kewl
Is that your guitar playing as well?
Thanks,no I'm trying to get some sound bite/ playing videos done but can't seem to get the sound quality
@@sdmcustoms So it started to play more muddy? Veneer vs solid paint looks to be a tricky question... Sound vs looks
Because of my camera audio not the guitar
@@sdmcustoms So the guitar sounds the same?
Yes
💖💯😎👍⭐🎄
Where did you get the veneer? Great video and final product. Would have been a little better if you had done a voice over or something. Just a thought. But yeah, would love to know where you got the veneer.
Thank you , its all pretty self explanatory .
i got it off Etsy
Stopped watching at about 30 seconds. Annoying music.
Awesome! Well done
