That scared the shit out of me when you were rubbing over the signature with lighter fluid and sandpaper! You need balls to work on other peoples guitars and a lot of confidence Thanks for the video Scott ❤ from England

My brother got his autograph at his book signing for one his Astronomy books about the Big Bang that he studied for his Doctorate, super nice guy.

I've got a bridge that looks a lot like that one on a charvel I didn't know it was a Wilkinson I never knew what it was works really good rock on Scott. 👍

You are THE MAN when it comes to anything guitar finish related. I keep saying this, but Scottie, I watch tons of guitar repair and build videos and no one, not even close, does the level of quality you put into every finish job. You have so many different potions and compounds, plus every grit of sandpaper/polishing pad, known to man. Really impressive work and something to be proud of. Great job!

Wow, thanks!

I can relate. I spent the last two days working a nitro finish on a scratch acoustic build. My hand is mud.

Wizard with the finish well done

Awesome video! I picked one of these up a few months ago, and it quickly became my favorite guitar. Love the pickups, electronics, and shorter scale neck.

Rock on!

Imho you are crazy to take on this project. It’s a sharpie for goodness sakes. One wrong swipe and… but you rocked it!

cool guitar ,back in 2005 I won a Autographed Guitar of Jimi page and Robert Plant from the Local Rock Station its been in the case ,its a Kramer which im pretty sure Jimi has never played but still pretty cool ,I plan on making a case for it with a glass front to display it I dont think I will ever play it I have but just a few strums

You're a braver man than me

The trem on the original Red Special has springs under the D shaped plastic plate. The Wilkinson trem doesn't have this so on this guitar it's only there for looks.

If you mess it up, you could always get Brian to sign it again 🫤

Hell Yeah 👍🏻

I wonder why you didn't do the same scratching and finish over the whole front of the guitar? that would have completely elimininated the witness line...and maybe would have been less work overall.. though hindsight is a beautiful thing. but now I know how to preserve my Joe Satriani autographed RG

Pucker factor 9 But good job

Interesting that the signature on the body looks nothing like the signature on the head-stock...🤨

Is this guitar neck heavy?

Question (and pardon my lack of knowing): Is there a reason you didm't use a powered buffer for the final finish? Would that have made it easier, or is that a no-no?

Maybe that would have helped!
