I've sprayed and cleaned a lot of really gunked up fingerboards and bridges and sometimes a pair of disposable gloves are in order too
Oh yes, i have a big bottle of hand sanitizer and rubber gloves. Great comment bcrich581.
I wish Phil lived closer to me so I had a real pro to work on my guitars!
same man my guitars are in need
Buy a cheap beater guitar, do some work and become a pro yourself.
Actually I did that very thing. I bought a beater Jackson Dinky and learned how to adjust the truss rod on it, and perform a basic setup, but I don't have the time between work and two kids to become a pro at it. I'd rather use my spare time practicing guitar rather than working on them. :)
Do you live in the sticks or something? No pros to work on your guitar near you?
Where does he live?
Dude that's really awesome of you to do guitar repairs and inspections for free, a lot of guitar players out there have instruments that need fixing but can't afford to spend the $ to fix them.
YO I NEED a guitar setup pls
Check out fret guru on amazon, makes quality stuff.
Great video! I'm going to go and buy one of those tackle box. I have a small box but it's growing and no more room. lol
The only thing you're missing in that box is a feeler gauge set.
These are my favourite types of videos where you share your cleverness and years of experience with us. Maybe you should only do one live stream a month to give you more time for vids like this. :) These are the type of vids you did when you still owned your store.
I just wanted to let you know that of all the guitar related channels/content providers that I watch regularly, you are the most clear, concise, understandable and relatable. Sorry for the run on sentence lol. Thanks for what you do.
A dedicated restring toolbox is essential. For years I had my tools (wrenches, feeler gauge etc...) all over creation. Now with everything all in one place make things so much easier and convenient. Thanks Philip. Great info.
The only thing I would add is something that I believe I got from Dan Erlewine's book, and that is some strips of cut up plastic credit cards. When you get a new card, take the old one and cut it into strips longways. They are great for scraping fingerboards along the fret wire to remove caked on gunk and they don't damage the wood.
Thanks Phil for sharing your wisdom and knowledge.
Phil is the man. I'd gladly pay to have Phil set up my axe. All those years of experience. Phil Rawks!!!!
Love your tutorials, saved me a lot of hassle when putting in my Dimebucker pickup in my guitar!Thank you so much ,yours in my opinion is the best channel out there.
This is what a PRO with pride in his work looks like. Fantastic video! Very educational for guitar players anywhere.
Great idea for a guitar maintenance box Phil, I've gone right out and ordered one while watching your video. Fantastic!
I used to work for Gibson and never had a Gibson multi tool. You are awsome Philip and do great work with a great love to do what you do. : ]
Fantastic Idea and thanks for the tackle box tour, some really useful ideas for kit people should have if they want to maintain their guitars themselves. Top job!
Phil! I’ve been watching your videos, albeit not religiously, for years and the other day I went to get a tackle box to organize my stuff, I happen upon this video a couple days after and couldn’t believe i had bought the same exact thing for the same exact purpose. Amazing! Keep up the great work!
This is a great idea and useful video. Your channel keeps getting better. Good stuff.
Thank you for such a great informational video. I do have many of the tools you have and a few more seen that I need. Now to find that I will have out grown my little tool container.
A new tackle box is now on my shopping list. Thank you!
9 volt batteries for EMGs
This is a great video! This weekend I put my own tackle box together complete with my Know Your Gear sticker!
Hey Phil! Just got my stickers! Love the channel! Keep it up!
Me too!
The gator socket is nice, I have one in my guitar toolbox. Thanks for sharing, I will be adding some of this other stuff to my own repair kit. Cheers from Maine!
This is fantastic! You are doing a wonderful thing with this event and I am sure it's going to help many many guitarists. I hope this event comes to the Northeast (New England to be exact) so I can meet you in person!
Thank you Phillip. Your awesome guy. Love your channel
I can't believe I never thought of using a tackle box 🤦♂️ Thanks for the idea!
I agree with the comments about feeler gauges. I would have a needle nose pliers (maybe I missed it). They're useful for prebending the string to go around a Bigsby bar or top wrapping a stoptail.
Good video!
Fun video! Great job as usual, Phil.
awesome stuff Phil, wish i had something that detailed, very clean, very versatile, very nice. thanks for the vid
I ordered my KYG Gold top Tee shirt and Stickers this week!! Thank you for you videos AND YOU HELPFUL INFO THANK YOU AGAIN BROTHER!!!!
Thank you so much. I am wearing that shirt for the event.
I love your show Phillip. Very informative.
Breath mints, lots of hand sanitizer, and a white lab coat, pencil holder and your name and logo on the pocket.
Great tool box there Phill, and you gave me some some great ideas , for my tool box, Thank You very much, Cheers
Hey there Phil....The tackle box is a great idea; I'm always fumbling through the tool box I use for my guitar tools. Enjoy your videos and never disappointed with your content. Thanks....jimmy
Great tool box. I now need to make one.
This. Is. Awesome! I haven’t been successful in finding organizing tips for guitar gear. Phil to the rescue, thanks. And I just ordered some stickers so my new guitar tackle box will be appropriately blinged.
Missing - straight rule and feeler gauge (to check relief). I keep a set of strings with colored ball ends cut off about 3-4 inches from the ball end to use as free feeler gauges. Thanks for the tackle box idea, I need to get one to put all my tools into.
Phil, great video. Thanks for showing us all the details :)
Informative stuff! I am going to put together one of those for house calls
Excellent video! My tools are in a Tupperware container. Time to get a tackle box and organize my gear. Keep up the great work!
I wish I lived near your shop! Keep up the awesome work.
Great little setup.
Your videos have helped make a number of improvements on some of my guitars . The "Sharpen My Axe" video with the Squier prompted me to pick a couple of Squiers for "sharpening. Hope the Sam Ash in New Haven Ct. is on your re-string list when you come out East. Thanks again for your channel and keep up the good work.
I've been doing this with a regular tool box, thanks for the ideas tho 😂 please keep up what you are doing!!
I literally was about to make a little kit like this! Great timing 👍🏻
Great video! Thanks so much!
Great idea using a tackle box! Totally copying that idea, I've been using a shoebox. lol Thanks for the list and keep up the great videos!
I thought it said 9 months ago, not 9 minutes. Last time I was this early, Phil still had hair! 😉 Good video man!
I love excellent organization! 👍🏻
Small wedge shaped erasers, to be used to hold stop tail bridges, while restringing, Small light fret hammer for high frets & maybe a small piece of wood, to act a safe cushion in between the fret & hammer, Tapered wood blocks, to hold FR...
Hi Phil, nice toolkit. What does it all weigh? I'd suggest maybe adding a small gooseneck LED lamp with clip for lighting inside f-holes & soundholes, a mini-sized Swiss Army knife, & a well broken-in soft cotton bandana, The last two are just generally useful to have around anywhere.
I'd add: 9v Batteries, Needle nose pliers, Magnifying glass & Flashlight. This was great. You really thought of every possible scenario. The guitar-tech's dream checklist (minus the soldering). Love these type's of videos.
Be careful keeping steel wool and 9volt batteries in close proximity. The battery will catch the steel wool on fire.
The Ultimate Guitar Kit for Men
I have the same Stew Mac mini multi screw driver set. I've used mine so much that the name wore off the handle... Great for pickguard screws and adjusting pup height amongst many other jobs.
Hi Phil
I love your ch.
I also have in my ultimate kit is a NOMAD TOOL for cleaning under the strings at the bridge on all my acustioc guitars. I got mine from Sweetwater.
It also has a soft brush on the other end.
Thank again for all your fantistic vids.
Sincerly
Ken
Disposable dental micro applicators are extremely useful. You can buy 100s of them for $12. StewMac sells them as “micro swabs” and you only get 10 for $5.41!
Dental scalers can also be use and so can a few pairs of rubber gloves.
I have this double ended auto detailing brush that I had picked up at AutoZone or a similar parts store. The brush has a round wood handle, with black course bristles on one end and soft tan bristles on the other end. It's quite useful for getting into tight locations.
Hey phil can you make a video about good tour cases and good gig bags? Love the channel, keep the good work up!
Some items you may want to add to your kit:
1) cotton gloves
2) wax to help screws go in with less friction
3) Under-string fret cleaner pad
You should sell pre-filled tackle boxes with all your favourite gear - I for sure would buy one!
Excellent video and toolbox. It looks like you have all the tools anyone would need to restring, clean & polish, and setup a guitar. I think it may have been mentioned in other comments but perhaps I would add needle nose and regular pliers.
Hey Phil, was really surprised not to notice a pile of strings inside....
Seriously though, really comprehensive set of tools for everything short of a full on repair.
Too bad I'm in Asia and nowhere near Arizona.
Have a great event!
America's Guitar Tech!
Rewatching. Great idea
Phil! Great vid!
I believe the spiral brush in the Stewmac cleaning kit it to clean the inside of input/output jacks
Summer event in Arizona? Need some bottles of water and a large sweat towel. Good luck with the event Phil. 😅😅
I would have a small soldering iron! Thanks for the video!!!!!!
Hey, great video Phil!! I‘m sure you’ll mention though in your future videos to be careful with that steel wool. Pickups are magnetic and........well, you know the drill. Thanks again!
God, you're a great guy phil. Wish I lived in the US to come say hey! Oh well, hey from Australia! :)
And a couple nine volts for onboard preamps which are pretty common on basses and becoming more common on guitars as well
If you're really on a budget there are a really good selection of used tackle boxes available on E-bay as well and some of them are very cheap and have a lot of life left on them also lots of space on the lid of the tackle box to tape on a set of mini reference sheets to use as needed and on the inside of the lid as well.
I use an old Kenned tool box for my main stuff and a couple of smaller boxes for wiring stuff
Worth just hearing D'Addario pronounced correctly so many times.
I really thought you would have a stand alone pair of wire snips .and if your like me a good pair of glasses or magnifier. I enjoyed the video 👍🎸🤘
Nice, I have almost everything in there and the StewMac little tool kit is awesome for about $40 I think, worth every penny. This new one has a better case than the old version so if you read comments that say it is cheap they are referring to the old version. Now I will get my Walmart Tackle Box Lol
Did I miss feeler gauges? Nice to be able to check neck relief and nut height to ensure the truss rod hasn't moved. Great video Phil.
Love the tackle box. Maybe a small gas soldering iron would be useful for dry or bad joints?
Great vid Phil. Looking forward to the next one when you put the box/tools to use. You need to take the fam to Disney World so you can have similar event in Central FLA (business write off😉👍).
I had about 40% of the items, will be getting more based on your recommendations. I like the tackle box. But now we need Know Your Gear stickers made available again to slap on the box!!😉👍
OK, I've just seen this now, 2 1/2 years after it's post. Great one Phil ! When are you coming down to Aussie to do the same ?
The only things I would add: the tremelo bar springs, and a fret kisser
How did I miss this video.
There are enthousiasts in your neighborhood 😊 just gotta find them... He isn't doing this by himself... When you get together with others you can make things happen
At my local youth center we have a monthly "Repair Cafe" event... A volunteer comes by in a van filled with every tool he could possibly fit in there and people bring in their broken appliances
Then we try to figure out solutions to everyone's problems... It's nerd heaven
Hey Phil, HUGE THANKS for your channel and a massive shout from all your fans in New Zealand 🇳🇿!!! Just wondering if you sell these amazing kits? I’m sure that there would be a ton of folks keen on purchasing them. I know I would definitely buy one. Thanks again for the great content. Cheers Mate!!!
I'm going to the first restring event. For sure
Hi Phil, I am inspired by this video. I was wondering what to do with that old fishing tackle box up in the attic = get my guitar tools organized. I tried to DL your check list sheet, but the link is no bueno. Can you help me with that? I love your channel! Keep them coming!
Did i just watch a 30 min infomercial for Stew Mac? Good luck Phil!
You should check out music nomad F1 oil, works wonders on my rosewood
Hi Phil you should include a soft pencil eraser/rubber they work wonders cleaning up unfinished maple fretboards. I use one on my charvel. No issue with it damaging the frets so no needs to cover them up.
Also some ptfe tape works wonders with sloppy threads, like the fine adjusters on low end Floyd's.
Wire cutters , better than the Gibson one. Perhaps stand alone snips. Also needle nose pliers come in handy. Good video!
Philip, Will there be a schedule listed of where and when for the events. Is it just near you, or is D'addario coming to places like the Detroit Metro Area for example?
I must come to this. I hope I can make it. I could use some help with my guitar.
A contest to win a tool box would be cool!
Something that I don't see in your kit is a very fine sandpaper that will help you when the floyd rose system doesn't want to grab the string and it slips out a lot. Usually you can sand off the groves and fix the problem
Phil could you do a tour of your tool box you use for guitar repair?
Man i wish I could go!
I'm pretty sure I seen one of your videos years ago that you made about using a tackle box to keep your tools to work on guitars in. I have been using one ever since.
Will there be KYG shirts for sale at the restring events?
I use that same tackle box for makeup and jewelry.
Love your vids man. Any sharpen your axe soon?
A whole bunch of the Stew Mac stuff in this video (and other related refret/fret-dress/setup stuff) is on sale right now... FWIW.
