If anyone has any problems with the discounts not working let me know. We did a couple tests to make sure it works because they normally do not do this. If you are having trouble You can also call in and do the order. I think you have to except cookies for it to work.

Phil is such a regular guy with such an irregular anoint of great information. I don't comment much, but it's always relaxing to listen to him and I know I'll always learn so much.

That Music Nomad string height gauge is by far the best one on the market. I have poor eyesight, the black and white and non reflective surface make it so much easier to see when measuring.

[trampasnewberry]

When he instructs I take notes. Thanks Phil.

I've never needed to have my guitars worked on because I learned how to do it myself watching Phil's and others videos. You can buy most of these tools for the cost of a set up. No brainer. REMEMBER! No one cares more about your guitar than you do.

Much anticipated, and long over-due, video. I only have to say, it did not disappoint in any way. Absolutely essential viewing for anyone considering owning a guitar, of any type. Thanks, Phil.

Great stuff. I need to start doing my own setups. Nice to have someone like you to point me in the right direction. Thanks.

I’ve been using Stew Mac tools for so many years that my tools say Stewart McDonald. I was turned on to them because the store is near my relatives in Ohio and they are all musicians. Love their tools and customer service. My highlight is one time I was having a problem and they actually had Dan Erlewine call me direct! Talk about going above and beyond!

The StewMac Z-files were total game changers for crowning, and the Fret Guru-2 string height gauge is actually the best one - it has even more functions than the one you showed, such as a fret height gauge. (And it is white on black like that one.)

Thanks, Phil, bought something on your advise, joined Stewmac the last time you had a killer deal, and now I just got another tool. You are the greatest thing since chunky peanut butter, buddy.
You're part of my therapy in this crazy world, and your kindness is the key.
I'll wear out long before you will, and I find great comfort in that.

Thanks for doing what you do man. Your my favorite YouTube guitar guy. Your channel ALWAYS makes me wanna pick up a guitar, and sometimes tear it apart also saved me a ton of $$$ maintaining my own gear. 🤘🤘

[FarrellMcGovern]

Tool videos, for any endeavour, is always worth watching!

[myopicautisticmetal]

I already own most of this stuff, I agree the micro mesh is priceless, I love the touch-up micro mesh sticks for quick fret polishing!

[lambchop]

Great content, Phil. And great opportunity for Stewmac discount. Thank you.

[DavidHBurkart]

Wow. Really appreciate the deal Phil. Stew Mac rately offers deals so this is a real bargain. Ready. Set.

[stonebrakerstudio]

Phil thank you for all the things you share and help the music industry & musicians

Those winders are great. I've had one for years and is the only thing I would choose to use to pull bridge pins. I also can't believe how useful those ESP spanners are. I generally use those for all nuts on pots and tuners.

[TommySG]

Most of my tools are from Stew Mac, to me they’re the Snap-On of the automotive industry. They really do make a huge difference, especially their files. I’ve purchased paints from here as well and every once in a while you’ll receive a dead can and they sent me a replacement straight away so the service is pretty good too imo 🤙
Thanks for sharing Phil.

You can get that D'Addario string winder/cutter for "free" if you use their points program. I think after 9 packs of strings I had enough points for it. It makes cutting the ball ends off of strings for a Floyd effortless. Otherwise, you can just snip the strings too quickly remove and wind the strings for any other guitar.

[tonyketterman]

I own about 90% of the tools Phil showed, just because of watch his videos over the years. :-)
