Why not making the same videos WITHOUT the constant “okey, cool, fair enough, yep, great, yeah, I see, cool, yep, okey, great, cool, yeah, great, yeah,...” just let the fine gentleman talk!
3000 is as high as you would ever need for metal, 3000 will give a mirror polish. I normally go from 400 -800 depending on how they are to begin with. Then 1200, 2000,3000.
Your Guitar Academy it's definitely helped! I've played for the best part of 20 years and never had the guts to setup my guitar until seeing those videos. Keep it up guys!
I like to keep my neck looking and feeling clean so that tip for people like who polish their frets on the regular really work for me. I hate the idea of making my frets play uneven on my new yamaha acoustic. to counteract this, I would use the heaviest grit on the last fret of the guitar. than work my way back to the first fret. the reason why is because guitars straight from the factory have a bit of fall away after the 12 fret to make playing to higher frets easier. so I'd use the same pad in the same area and only wipe my frets a certain number of times. since I'm doing most of the work with the first grit, I'd start out with 12 swipes between grits 1500 and 2400. than 10 swipes with grits 3200 - 4000, and than finally 8 swipes with grits 6000 to 12000. don't forget to tape of your fretboard so that you don't scratch the wood. I learned that one while working on a cheapo strat.
Hi Santiago - This video is part of a course of videos that you can either find here on UA-cam via the playlist or on our site: www.yourguitaracademy.com/courses/fretboard-maintenance Many thanks :)
Exactly, what a complete waste of time. Maybe title it, "How to prepare for a fret polish." Maybe he could have got to it if the interviewer would have stopped asking knuckleheaded questions.
Hey Yunn, yes they do love a good chat! This video is part of a wider series of videos, where you may find a little less chat and more action: www.yourguitaracademy.com/courses/james-collins/lessons/fretboard-maintenance
This should have been called "talking about polishing your frets "

Exactly! Probably a rookie that hasn't learned how silence from the interviewer makes a better interview.
Absolutely!
Thanks for saving me money!😎

These videos are great guys. Just got a new guitar and your videos have instilled some much needed confidence when making adjustments, cleaning etc.
Hi Robert! Cool! Very glad you like them and they've helped you improve your guitar by yourself! That's definitely the aim :) :)

Please stop interrupting!!!!
Totally agree! The interviewer like more to hear his own voice.
Its not live
Very informative. Ordered some micro mesh today. Hopefully i can bring my dull frets to life!
Flitz polish is the best I've found. A couple wipes and they are smooth and pretty.

Well planned video fellas!
Thanks Matthew!
Didn’t show any work...this is spinal tap?😁

We don’t need constant clarification from you, buddy. These videos would be so much more smooth with just the guitar tech! Still, decent.
Great tips!
"how to polish guitar frets" spends the entire 7-minute video NOT polishing the guitar frets

I skimmed this whole video and saw nothing. Thanks for yammering
Wayyy too much talk

Chemistry all over... Australia.
LOT OF FUCKING RAMBLIMG NOT A LOT OF DEMONSTRATING
If I can say anything nice, don’t say anything.....sorry!
Too much talking
Theres absolutely no reason to work up to even close to 12,000 grit - unnecessary. You'll hit a mirror finish long before that point.
3/4 of the way through the video and you guys are still talking what a waste of time mates!
Bro you talk too much let the luthier speak 🤦🏻♂️
Pointless video with zero value.
Ruined the experience by the interviewer (bloke) interrupting ; goddamn frustrating.
Yawnnnnnn
