I don't watch many but I have started watching this guy the last few days, love his videos, he is a funny guy and think he is pretty inspiring to be honest, love people who start a business from nothing and make a success of it.

I'm jealous more than anything but I quite like https://www.youtube.com/@DarkoAudio (https://www.youtube.com/@DarkoAudio)
He reviews high-end HiFi equipment in his apartment. The various companies send him the gear so he never has to leave his apartment unless he's doing 'moody' photos of him wearing headphones. He also has a Patreon page where people donate him money to keep doing what he's doing.
Why can't I get a job like that! :'( :'( :'(

This has put me off buying a ford as my next taxi. Had a great ford focus years ago, bulletproof but it was a 1.6 petrol.

Thanks, Doc. If you want any stringed instrument (apart from Mandolin) looked after I'd highly recommend Gian-Mario down in Mariner's Port, at the bottom of Kilbarrack Road.

what is the concensus with regard to gettin guitars restored.
i'd imagine a lorra guitar people would want a 30 year old played guitar to look like a 30 year old played guitar. i'd imagine fuckin with it's natural patina is akin to cleaning an antique coin destroyin it's natural aged lustre, history, provenance etc.
for instance you'd never restore the finish of rory gallagher's bashed and battered stratocastor to it's perfect sunburst finish.

The wood or laminates are as is. The central truss rod warped as a result of being in the attic. The differences between hot and cold caused the string to expand and contract. This caused tension on the neck of the guitar.
He obviously applied his skill and straightened the neck. After that, he replaced the brass frets and filed down the edges of the frets for a smoother transition. He also replaced the bone bridge as the original was almost cut in half from the strings placing undue stress on the bridge.

Introduced 1974
Discontinued 1978; 45 years ago
Related brands Ibanez
Markets Japan, United States
Penco was a brand of guitars owned and manufactured by the Hoshino Gakki Co. in its factory of Nagoya, Japan. Ibanez guitars was another brand owned and manufactured by Hoshino Gakki. In the United States, Penco guitars were distributed by the Philadelphia Music Company.
Penco line of products consisted of electric and acoustic guitars, most of them were copies (also known as "lawsuit guitars") of renowned US guitar like Fender or Gibson, produced by Japanese companies in the 1970s.[1] The term "lawsuit guitar" originated after a lawsuit filed by Norlin (Gibson's parent company) against Elger (owner of Ibanez) over trademark infringent in 1977.[2]
History
The Penco brand was of relatively high quality. Their acoustics were usually but not always made with laminated back and sides and often laminated tops. Penco made Martin and Gibson style acoustic guitars. Reverse engineered and built to spec, Penco produced some of the closest replicas of the Martin D-28, D-35, D-41, D-45, and D-45 12 models in existence today. Penco also made bolt neck copies of Gibson's Les Paul and SG guitars and basses, Rickenbacker 4001 basses, Fender Stratocaster/Fender Telecaster copies, Fender Jazz Bass copies; and the odd mandolin and banjo.
They also made 12-string acoustic guitars. The Penco brand was also put on "lawsuit" Korina-finished Gibson Explorer-styled guitars. These were identical to the Ibanez Destroyer and the Greco Destroyer of the same period. The Ibanez line was distributed on the West coast of the U.S., while the Greco was exclusively for Japan, and Penco was distributed on the East coast of the U.S. There is bit of variance between the Penco acoustic models depending on what year the guitar was manufactured. A Penco A22M may or may not have an adjustable saddle via thumbscrews. Also some of the models have book matched backs while others maybe tri-backed.
Most Penco acoustics had solid spruce tops and laminated backs and sides of maple or rosewood depending on the model. The A24 is a 12 string acoustic guitar, with a solid –but relatively thin– spruce top, rosewood sides and back and a mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard. They had a zero fret and a screw adjustable bridge modeled after the Gibson Heritage Jumbo bridge of that period. They sold new for around $140 in the mid-1970s. The A10 was a solid top AA or AAA size Rosewood Laminated back and possibly their first acoustic model.
The Penco A25 12-string acoustic guitar had a solid spruce top with solid rosewood back and sides. The back was a 4 piece book-matched back.

Octy, you'd be a big fan of "Trigger" Willie Nelson's Martin N-20. Two huge holes, but he wouldn't change it for the world!! rofl
