I wear microfiber fingerlets while I play. My Strat sounds like shit, but boy... is it clean!

'I like to clean my guitar after every use'. What

[collyqually]

I throw my strat in with my clothes on laundry day.
2 birds with 1 stone!

[BooRadley]

I store mt Fender in the shower.
Never have to clean it....

Always check the tuners that they are not loose. Wood dries up in a dry environment and the nut on the tuner can become loose because of that.

"Extra oily skin"..did he just call us slime bags..

Fender microfiber cloth... Probably cost around $10 when you can get a pack of five for under a dollar.

How to quit guitar before you start: 15 - 20 minutes of guitar cleaning every time you play guitar...

Maybe it's good to have some sort of information on how conditioning is different for different types of fretboard woods. You don't want lemon oil on your maple fretboard, for instance, right?

[TheKeetabix]

love how he's showing you how to look after your guitar by using an old scratched and dented guitar as an example

[jeffreyweeks]

Glad to see Phil Anselmo is kickin it at Fender. Since he cut back on smoking he is sounding a lot better.

Very nice, thank you, with respect I propose a few adds.

1) If you have oily, sweaty hands like I do, I wash my hands (with care to not wet my finger callouses) before picking up my guitar, ESP. when waking up. I NEVER pick up my guitar after eating anything with my hands. If you pick up your guitar after eating greasy foods and no hand wash, why are you disrepecting your instrument like this?

2) When using a cloth (for that purpose) involving a spray, change cloths. Don't use the cloth you used to do your fretboard on your guitar body. There are different chemicals in different sprays. Mixing them on your guitar is probably not a good idea

Cleans his guitar after every use? Lol wow

[wingnutmcspazatron]

Fantastic video, easy to understand and straight to the point. I wish all instructional videos were like this. If you have a beautiful imstrument, I'd say it's worth keeping clean and watched over.

can i use fretboard remedy on my maple fretboard?

[glaxko]

Would the Fender microfiber cloth and Fender Quick Clean spray work on a Les Paul?
