Tip from my own experience, so that it doesn't happen to you one day and have to learn the hard way :) At 01:40, if you see you can't easily get the nut out, never bang it in that direction like you do in the video, as you risk breaking the upper lip above the nut, that last remaining thin piece of fretboard right before the beginning of the downwards slope leading to the trussrod access hole. Trust me, it breaks way easier than you think. Once it happens to you, you'll wonder how come you didn't break it in any of the previous times :) Always bang against it sideways, with a small edge similar to a thick in-line screwdriver, just to nudge it out of place, while being careful not to have it slip/miss and hit the side of the neck. I find that 20 easy knocks are way better and safer than being in a hurry, wanting to do it all in 1 shot.

I actually like the cherry sunburst type of finish, even though it is a finish Fender never offered...so, when you see it, you know it can not be a factory finish. I actually like the 2-color sunburst much more than 60's style sunburst...even though, again, you will never see a factory 2-color SB with a rosewood fretboard...I just think it's a very attractive look.

Please put your description in English too :) super satisfying to watch your nice work!

What method did you do in between the sunburst before spraying the green? So, after you sprayed the sunburst, before you sprayed the green did you spray a clear lacquer over the sunburst then lightly sand that, then spray the green?

Looked better before! I was expecting a great relic job done to a multilayer finish! guess not!

The two colors rarely seen on Fenders,- darker green and blue. I can remember when the two factory pink shades were rare & unusual, before they became popular a decade ago.Tastes have broadened with finishes just as they have with generally acceptable sounds.Pink is like Fuzz; the same conservative dudes that criticized one, wouldn't dream of playing the other.Now the argument seems the " authenticity " of intentional relicing, but as you should have already learned, few are more transparently fake as those who make claims to supposed authenticity. Beautiful work; quality still can't be rushed.

was that soldering flux he used to remove the frets? After cringing at the taking a good looking guitar and abusing it to remove the finish and paint (great techniques by the way) I would of been happy after he applied the clear coat. I feel that beautiful wood should never be covered in paint.

こんにちは。 フレットにハンダを付けているのは、温めるためです。フレットが接着されている場合などはとても効果的なフレットの抜き方です。 フレットを抜く際に一番大切なのは、指板の木をめくらないことです。 しかし現実問題フレットと指板は癒着？では無いかもしれないのですが、くっついていることが多いです。それを解くためにハンダで温めます。 今回は接着されているわけではないと思うのですが、温めないで抜いたときと温めて抜いたとき、どちらが木をめくらないか確かめたところ温めたほうがいいという結論でしたので、温めました。 まあ、実際やってみると温めたほうが木がめくれにくく、抜きやすいと作業していると感じます。 欠点として、指板に熱を加えるのがあまり良くないというのがあります。 ですので、短時間でほんの少し熱を加えるイメージで作業しています。

It's sort of confusing. It WAS a sunburst. You stripped it all off only to respray it sunburst, then green, then relic to reveal sunburst. So in effect an old Sunburst with a green respray. WHY not just leave the original color with the imperfections/dings/etc and prep that and spray green? Same or better relic effect IMHO with far less work.

you don't want to build up a layer of finish at the edge of the neck pocket, either finish it all evenly or tape it ALL off.. remember the neck heel sits in that pocket and its completely flat where it mates up in the pocket, what's going to happen if you leave a layer of finish build up around the edge of the neck pocket is the neck will not sit complete into the heel pocket, therefore you will sacrifice sustain and tone which = resonance, wood to wood is always best IMHO, no sealer nothing curious why it was strippd it looked great to me? you just devalued it 40% or more
