Really cool restoration of a Les Paul, struck by Russian drone, brought back by luthier Tanya Shpachuk
This is a really cool series of YouTube videos by Tanya Shpachuck. The full restoration is linked in the first video in the series, which I've linked here. This is the story:
"This Gibson was hit by a Russian drone in the Kyiv region, in the village of Hlevakha. Seeing the damage was heartbreaking - parts of the headstock had cracked, the finish burned, and some of the inlays had fallen out. They destroy our cities, our homes, our parks, our schools, our culture - but we will rebuild everything, no matter what it takes. Being able to take part in this restoration feels like more than just fixing a guitar. It’s about bringing back a piece of our history, a piece of beauty, and a piece of hope. I’ll do everything I can to make this guitar sing again, to honor its story, and to remind everyone that even after destruction, creativity and resilience will always find a way."
This video documents the emotional restoration of a Gibson Les Paul that was damaged by a Russian drone in the Kyiv region. The project symbolizes resilience and hope, aiming to restore a piece of history and culture amidst destruction. The creator invites support through various means, including merchandise, Patreon, YouTube sponsorship, and PayPal.
