Next video is how to fix a broken headstock after you clean your guitar like this!
I was getting crazy anxiety. Missed the entire video cuz I was just staring at that headstock sitting on the table like that.
Pretty bad tutorial after having to watch it a second time while forcing my OCD mind to not focus on the headstock. Basically no better than any other vid. But at least others support the neck...THE RIGHT WAY.
Not gonna lie...my prunes shriveled when I saw no neck support. Dude certainly trusts that headstock angle....
yeah came here for a tip or two but pft fuck that who does that to a lp neck support is a must
You're right...I stopped the video... how can I trust this guy to tell me how to clean it if he's resting the neck at an adverse angle...you gotta cradle that baby !!! Anyway I already know how to clean a guitar and Hardware.... fuck it... I can barely hear him anyway
Me too, my neck is still tight from seeing that! And then he dumps oil onto the fretboard straight from the bottle. Double plus ungood.
dude he works for gibson I think he knows what hes doing lmao. The guitar isnt gonna snap over the weight of itself....
@@brosettastone7520 and I work for a healthcare organization, so let me give you anesthesia
... Yeah, just because he works at Gibson doesn't make it right.
Cleaning the cleanest guitar on youtube
can it be a debit card?
Yes, but you'll need the 4 digit code.
I tried to use my vintage Babe Ruth card, but it didn't work. I used a hammer instead.
Not American Express , Sorry
Debit cards have a chromoly hybrid center which binds the two halves and visa logo together - it will cause the guitar to not rock as loud out of a marshal stack. Amazon gift cards are quantum-coated which actually strips the fretboards of gunk and are used by 90% of guitar players - but never use on rosewood, ebony, or maple fretboards - and never with a guitar with a maple neck.
@@Red_Dead_Director card sniffer!
That is one of the best looking Les Pauls I’ve ever seen. Finish is beautiful and that dark rosewood is really nice.
The way he lets the head of a gibson rest on the table without any neck support is so scary.
From the 720p video uploaded here, I thought at first this was from like 8 years ago till I saw the date on it.
Allen Freeman even my cheap phone camera has a 1080p full HD recording 😂
Great video. I appreciate it. Some really good and simple ideas on cleaning the guitar. Cool. Thanks for sharing.
January 15th or 16th and May 14th are the days I take literally half a day cleaning and conditioning my guitars. They hang in a climate controlled garage but humidity and season change is a factor that demands that I oil the fingerboards and make any neck adjustments due to outdoor climate change. 3,000 - 4,000 dollar guitars should be treated like a car and the twice a year tune up is the best way I have been able to keep them from drying out etc - learned my lesson the hard way when ebony fingerboard started cracking on a beautiful martin that got really dry during cold winter prior to climate control being added to garage man cave. Another thing I learned is to never leave a Capo on a guitar when you hang it up and forget about it - The same Martin had a capo in the 3rd fret and just hung there in a dry and freezing winter, only to be alarmed when I grabbed it because I got into an acoustic phase (Which happens back and fourth with electric and there is no science to when someone switches between the two). The capo caused the binding on neck to pinch in a bit and was not smooth flat, although it didn't effect playability - After taking care of that guitar regularly it somehow expanded back to almost normal. Its like my cigar humidor i lost interest in and beautiful cohibas all dry. two years later I was able to resurrect them in a similar fashion to the martin's rebirth. Not going to experiment and find out what happens when i neglect an es-355 or les paul custom. Guitars are like an extension if their owner. Just don't get depressed and neglect them like I did with my glow fish coffee table tank years ago.
My precious Lily would have a headstock rest, or even a couple cusions or kitchen rolls.
Gotta treat a standard from the 60s like.. a standard from the 60s
I bought Gibson Vintage Reissue Restoration Kit
and when I used Restorative Finish Cream
on my guitar Les Paul Deluxe 2015
appeared streaks (like fog) that are difficult to remove :(
What does it mean???
My 50 year old SG has 'fog' after I wiped it down with some wood polish. Any idea how to remove the fog?
I didn't know Rod Stewart works for Gibson.
How to make a deep clean on golden hardware? What product do I should use? #HarmonyCentral
What products were used in this video?
Ah so this is what the saw guy gets up to in his spare time..
Did he forget to mention about stamping on the middle of the fretboard and then bandsawing the body in half?
I can't believe you are not supporting the neck
This video makes me realize Im a guitar player; not a musician.
He didn't even wait for a minute 😓😓😓😓
Someone bought a Gibson shirt
Does he really work for Gibson 🧐🤔
The neck support was used to prop the guitar up so we could see it better, not for the neck though. Too funny.
You forgot to show how to get the rust and gunk off the pickups? Why?
Why he cleaning a brand new guitar......... LOL
Free cleaning kit for watching
Episode 11 of K-ON
YES
I don't handle or clean my Fender that way.
Didn’t do the pickups
Jesus!!! Is this a proper way to clean guitars??. I can't imagine how's his improper way to do it!
Is wd40 ideal for cleaning fret boards?
HELL no
Wat the fuck no neck support! Com on man.
no neck support? really?
Not gonna bother showing the best way to clean the frets themselves?
how about a Chisel instead of a Credit Card? - I dont like Banks! - :)
I hate banks too - I found a SNAP card works really well!
Never put gibson guitar like that. Cannot trust any word after that. Bfs
No neck support from official Gibson tech? I wouldn't trust this dude with my guitar that's for sure!
Tip: Next time show a dirty guitar being cleaned, not a brand new one that you just run your brushes and cloths across and it makes no difference.
For me, useless video. Expected A LOT more from official Gibson technician.
