I just cant past by this one. Looks like it lay down in someone's garage for couple of decades :)
And here I`m bringing it back to life! I am very pleased how it turns out. What yours thoughts about it?

Thanks to ​⁠‪@mr.k1t‬ for the test ☺️

Also we launch YT sponsorship, and already have educational content about fretworks.

    In a world where people intentionally 'relic' guitars, it is wonderful to see someone restoring a guitar's glory. Incredible work!
  • @selenahuf9747
    I love that there’s no awful background music like most other YT videos. Just the sounds of the workshop. Keep up the wonderful work 🥰
  • @tbeard5458
    I love that you don't go nuts on refinishing or repairing flaws. The guitar's character is left intact, it's a lot cleaner but the age is allowed to come through. Fantastic work :)
  • @robertbecker804
    No music, no complaining . Just the sound of an artist at work.Wonderful to watch and actually very soothing. Beautiful job!
  • @YNGWIE998
    That was the most absorbing, interesting 29 minutes I have ever spent on YouTube. I envy the job you do, you are a true craftswoman.
  • @Nightmerica
    Oh wow. My dad had a Japanese made guitar from that period similar to this. It’s great to see something like this brought back to life rather than just thrown out. Fantastic job restoring it!

    No intrusive loud background music, no annoy SUBSCRIBE bells whistles or clicks, no BS at all! Why aren't there more of these types of clips on the Tube you, this young woman covered all bases, thank you so very much for this uplifting video.

    This is what restorers do. There’s something soothing about making old things new! Don’t throw away the old, just because Thier old.
  • @dadawes
    Always a privilege to watch such craftsmanship. Returning and reinstalling the praiseworthiness of the instrument when it was new. Beautiful work!

    I'm an amateur luthier, (I've done many many hours of work on my instruments out of frustration of them not being perfectly how I want them/ just upgrading and repairing them. It's always nice to see someone who does this for a living doing the same things I came up with and did. It's reassuring lol
  • I really appreciate you not putting a single drop of paint on it. Just the original finish cleaned and polished. I wish more restoration videos were like this.
  • An absolute treat watching this guitar be restored. You're a fantastic Luthier! Great job :face-fuchsia-tongue-out: And this showcases the amount of time and effort a Luthier puts into guitar, really gives a person perspective why it costs so much when it's done right!
  • Just seeing the care and attention to detail in this poor instrument is amazing. Nothing is beyond hope if you really put in the effort. Thanks for sharing this!
  • @finmac5548
    This is amazing Tanya!! The depth of this restoration and attention to detail is stunning! Even the tiniest screws get cleaned and polished to keep everything as original as possible….fully restored but keeping the guitar’s vintage appeal and a nice level of patina! A joy to watch your breathtaking skill and craft….it’s nice to see your face make an appearance too for a change!!😊 You are a master at your craft….genius!! 🫡🫡🫡
  • Well done, Tanya! This was so pleasing to witness. It is wonderful to watch you give new life to a beautiful instrument! Thank you for sharing this with us!
  • I love that you restored it and didn't change anything that wasn't necessary. I enjoy watching you work. Your skills are sxceptional.
  • @roncakes
    Great work! Your work probably added another 50 years of life to the guitar. I alway enjoy your videos they are quiet and calming.
  • @pvdguitars2951
    I am a big fan of all your work. This must be my favorite restoration project. Absolutely mind blowing!
  • @toothace3
    Nicely done!! Love seeing these old "classics" brought back to life!
  • @CFCMahomet
    As someone who loves to rehab old bikes, taking them from rust to restored, I really appreciate your work.
