Not much of a commenter, but I gotta take some time out to just say thank you. Your channel always brings education in an easy to understand format. Over the past year I’ve learned so many tips to better my life long passion. Cheers.

I know Phil said these videos don’t do as well as his chats, but I must say these are my favorite! I love the instructional video’s. Thank’s man!

[johnl.donofrio]

Excellent video. The Peterson strobe is worth every penny. I do understand the expense for a beginner. This is the kind of video that gives beginners the courage to try their own work.

[ChristopherStandardTime]

i appreciate your consistent willingness to address the basics. too many musicians act as gatekeepers instead of being free with information, and you are refreshingly different, phil. thanks.

Trying to become a guitar nerd at 60, I have holes in my knowledge you could drive an Explorer through. But your content really helps! Gonna get a T-shirt as a token of my gratitude.

[monstrok]

Thanks Phil! I wish I had this information when I started playing a few decades ago. Now I work on my own guitars and these suggestions will handle nearly all light maintenance and adjustments!

These cheap tools and tuners can be found on Reverb too. I saw a rocker, gage, and notched straight edge for around $18 total. I bought them and use them. Work great! So cheap

My mom and pop guitar shop went out of business, and guitar center is kind of sketchy lol. Thanks for the video, this is a great place to start

You should have 1M subscribers. I did my first fret job with the stewmac fret file watching your videos on my epiphone yellow tv. Now I fell the need to it on the other guitars ! Thanks buddy

[monco]

Thanks Phil, hope this isn't one of those videos YouTube 'punishes' you for. Very useful and much appreciated.

[PlayFloyd_IN]

This is probably the best guitar related public service channel. You're the man Phil!

[PooNinja]

All great choices, again my favorite tools are fingers!

[garcemac]

That handle with the sockets built in is brilliant.

Over the years I've acquired, what I consider, a lot of guitars. I'm not really a collector. Each one has a purpose and I use them all the time but if you have stuff, you need to take care of it. I already have some of these things but this video will certainly help me fill in the gaps. Thank you for another excellent video.

[Illmyst]

Made my kit from various harbor freight tools. They are more than capable for Instrument repair and maintenance.

[jamesclerk]

Just found your channel today and already about 10 videos deep now 😄 Great videos, very helpful and thorough.

[billyjoseph]

Great! I appreciate the increased speed of your Vid. Short fast and informative! Keep up ! Sweet!

[ImNotOld_ImVintage]

Good timing on this video. I was just putting together an order for building up a pre-loaded pick guard. I may as well add some tools to the order to save on shipping.

[ArturBrzozowski]

This video is gold

For string height I'm using feeler gauges but I might convert on the tool you're showing just for time saving sake

my 6" ruler with 64ths is my best setup friend.
