To answer people asking about Greg’s info: He’s retired and isn’t looking to take on a bunch of projects, so we left contact info off intentionally. He could easily do this full time and he’d have a great business but until he wants that we’ll keep it low key. ;)

Yeh make it happen

That guy is an artist! That Kramer turned out beautiful!

Learning to work on guitars is a great skill for a player. I’ve found it not only saves a lot of money, but allows you to have that elusive guitar that feels, sounds, and plays just how you want it.

You are clearly so amped up about his skills and the outcome of his work. I loved seeing how you could hardly contain your excitement😂

Great interview. I love listening to people talk about the things they are passionate about.

Those are some fine looking guitars. I love what he did with them.

Great custom job! Greg’s artistry really shines through

Yess! I've been looking forward to this one :-)

This is super cool ! Thanks Mike ! Cheers from NoDak !

Cool Mike! Love Greg!

I'm currently reshaping and putting a blowtorch burn finish on my PRS. Already reshaped and now doing more. If I'm lucky, it won't resemble a PRS at all when I'm done.

How burned? I was thinking of lighting my epiphone special ii on fire but decided to try it on a first act first.

Lol, i remember being around 6 or 7 and my mom coming into the living room to the phone in pieces. Luckily, i was able to put it back together. I also got in trouble because i took the neighbors lawn mower engine when i was ten because i wanted to build a robot. I got in so much trouble. But the neighbor was nice, and i never touched anyone's property again. So it's not the worst lesson to have learned. But as soon as i buy my house I'm finding an old c&c machine and making my own guitar. Pickups, too. I'm buying the machine for my birthday.

Nice, love this kind of stuff. I ordered a Jem clone DIY kit from Alibaba.... and ended up getting a semi-hollow dual humbucker bigsby telecaster... I'm in the second process of painting it. It's got a nice wood grain on it that I I've painted with thinned acrylic so you still see that. It's a lighter purple. The body is a dirty oil color really dark brown/grey. I'm about to sand down the first coat of clear to smooth it out. Going to finish that then get started on the neck. The kit was $140, but I bet I can build it better than a cheap off the shelf jobby. Love how both of your guitars came out. Getting it just right is the fun part of owning guitars.

That’s some amazing craftsmanship. I’ve not seen reshaping before. The paint and gloss is amazing, but doing the weight relief and body changes really make these unique.

Another mechanical engineer here with a P.E. that is into guitars. Made one as a high school project. This video just might motivate me to pull it out and do some fixes/improvements to it.

Love this guy,i took apart clocks at 5 years old and put them back together too

Goddamn Mike I’m jealous! That frankenstein Kramer is for me the perfect nod to Eddy while being pretty unique on its own, and sooo beautiful. Really putting the “art” in “the art of guitar”. Would love to see more stuff on 80s shred using that beast :)

There's so much blood in the cracks of Paul's Iceman. One of my favorite guitars.

I think you are correct about the Les Paul Junior. I have a 1955 Les Paul Special, and the neck is well worn/thinner. I love the feel. Also in the Mpls area hehe. Car storage = bad idea.

beautiful guitar

Mike, you are so fortunate to know someone like Greg…in my area a good luthier is as rare as hen’s teeth 🫤

Love the guitars Mike! Reverse EVH is the coolest guitar ever hands down! Appreciate you Brother!

I saw a kramer with those "designed by seymour duncan" pickups and a floyd rose 2 (the string through one) at a pawn shop with a replaced neck, it was interesting, and your custom van halen thing reminded me of that.

I wish my Kramer Striker looked that good. Sweet !!

Greg sure did a beautiful job on those guitars - I’m jealous

Those guitars look great. I hope they play as good as they look.

That B.C. Rich is one of my favourite guitar designs ever. Though, I would probably stick a neck with a pointier headstock on it, maybe a Jackson or Kramer. A bit like buying a watch: you're buying the watch, not the strap - you're buying the guitar, not the neck! 😅

Hey Mike, next time your guest keeps pushing the mic away, why not push yours away and boost the signal? Cool guy, beautiful guitars.

The finish on the BC Rich guitar looks like one of Duran Duran’s album covers.

Mike trying to "talk tech" with a real tech is pretty entertaining.

This application reminds me of Duran Duran album cover Rio.

Gday mate.

Wait. No mention of his name, or company so we can contact him to work on our stuff? I see there’s a reply from you about that. I’ll check it out.

Halfway through the video and wondering how to contact the artist to work on my guitar..any contact info? Thanks and great content bro!

I always associate Nagel with the 80s!

This place looks like the waiting room of a dental office. Makes sense I guess.

$1k for all of the work on that Kramer? No way! That's easily a $4k guitar if you bought it new.

Black spiderman is just venom

This guy clearly does great work but the VH guitar,,, No. Where you going to play that thing without looking like a total poser? I suppose if there's a market you meet the demand.

It's all subjective. I think it looks really nice and the idea of the 'negative' of the original has come out great. Would rather have this than a frankenstrat clone that anyone can buy off the shelf. Also, the idea of looking like a 'poser' - who cares. You're only a poser if you do something purely for looks, but this is all about having a great final instrument that you enjoy playing and are proud to own. Nothing wrong with that.
