I can't believe I just watched a guy clean his guitar for 15 minutes -- and enjoyed every minute of it. This is the perfect blend of entertainment, education, and advertising. I genuinely learned a few things, saw some nice products I didn't even know existed, and laughed all along the way.
I love Music Nomad stuff. I’ve had nothing but great experiences with them. Last year I sent them some old strings for some research they are doing and they sent me a handful of their products for free!
I have become a HUGE fan of the MusicNomad products. Everything I have purchased from them is worth it's weight in gold. And I agree about the F1 oil for the fretboard. Love it!!
I've been using that F-one fretboard oil for a while, it's very good. Also a good tip for tuning stability is to use music nomad's nut oil (similar to "Nut Sauce") on the nut and bridge. Works wonders.
I have always had access to an abundance of tools, first my Dad's and then my own. How popular and desired is the ESP tool, especially with the, "safety," coating of attaching a thick, non-abrasive felt-like fabric, or a more rubber-like coating. ????? Also, PHIL, you mentioned UV protection for the one product. Will it protect against both UV-A AND UV-B? Does it impart it's protection property to just the finish upper layers (preventing the milky, hazy, or dull appearance), does it penetrate deep in the finish (preventing the drying, cracking, and tendency for some finishes to become almost the appearance of fine sand, or particulate), and the HUGE QUESTION, does it impart UV-A and/or UV-B protection to the wood itself? Will it protect the wood with only oil finish, or either traditional or modern nitro finishes, or even penetrate deep enough, or just by way of applying to the surface, protect wood with a thin or thick poly finish. I use a lot of VERY INTENSELY COLORED woods, many exotics, Bloodwood, Red Marblewood, Yellowheart, Redheart, Purpleheart, Padauk, Cocobolo, Bubinga, which fade with UV exposure, and what's does the manufacturer say about protection from UV induced color fading? And, would you, in your experience tend to believe their claim? Thank you
I’ve already purchased the Guitar Nomad polish and fret oil plus some their microfiber clothes. Great products and is my number one guitar care product!!! Thanks Philip and AMS!!!🎸🎸🎸😁
I really like their fretboard oil f-one. Works great and lasts a long time. Smooth sailing after using it. Havent tried all their products but i swear by their f-1 oil. Very nice kit!! I want one! Rock on!
the octo wrench is a clutch tool, i get so much done with just the simple 4-in-1 version that i have... didn't know they have a full kit, it's definitely something to consider, thanks for showing it to me...
For the fret polish i just carefully line really thin coat of em on top of the darn fret. Btw the wrench is better then esp. Well even if i am a dealer of this. It sure were a darn good product. The one polish and cleaner is extremely good cleaner for gloss finish. The string oil were there to just make things slinky oil. Better then fast fret. F one oil is extremely good fb conditioner.
I've talked to both Suhr & Fender and they said "Just wipe it down with soft cloth" - Do nothing. The oils from your hands are enough. I have 2 Maple's myself.
I had Walnut fretboard that both the seller and maker of the guitar recommended the F-1 oil on its fretboard. The walnut soaked it up and did the trick! Dave from Kansas
I got all their stuff after getting rid of my 21 year old gear. I got both toolkits and the setup tools because I do my own nut replacements and setups on all 7 of my PRS. Love their stuff! I am getting into testing out their cleaners, waxes and fretboard care items next. I have been using the stuff PRS sells which is probably made by the same companies.... I have been playing and working on my own and others instruments for about 35 years and I will attest these products are top notch!
I've been using their Fretboard Feed (sic) for a while, very pleased with it. I used to use woodwind "Bore Oil"... Their collection of truss rod adjusters look very handy - I can never find the one I want at the time that I need it! Best, Pete
Most guitar shops us Meguiar’s no 9 swirl remover no 7 show car glaze and no 34 finish spray .... you get years and years worth for low money (on Amazon ) .... search Meguiar’s Guitar on line.
I'm on my 3rd guitar from AMS. My music man, Gibson exployer, and charvel Joe Dulplainer Gojira tele. It's great they do monthly payments if you can't afford 800 1200 1800$ out the pocket. 3yrs with them. Plus you establish good credit. Thanks phil. 3 thumbs up.
I use the Music Nomad Guitar Detailer, works on satin/matte/open pore finishes and according to the Amazon listing the F-one works on unfinished maple.
For Satin finishes it's best on liquids to not use a polish or wax, so MusicNomad has a Guitar Detailer which is a straight cleaner for Matte/Satin. Unfinished Maple F-ONE Oil works great, if finished Guitar Detailer.
Really good Video Phil, I use the music nomad as my prefered guitar clean tools. Also last NAMM they have me a Fret Polish cream too, and that is so great. It feels like butter When you do a bend.
I love Music Nomad stuff. I use: F-One oil, Clippers, String winder, Fret polish kit, String cleaner, Guitar one polish & Nomad tool set = all work great for me. oNe LovE from NYC
Great video, have all these products but it's nice to see an expert use them. I do wish you did a fret polish too though, I've been lazy but really need to fret polish an older guitar I had while living by the ocean, so corrosion on the frets, so needs a good polish.
We have a fret polish called FRINE fret polish and comes with Fretguards and a cloth all in one Fret Polishing Kit, AMS carries it. It's part number MN124. You will love it.
Hey Phil, you said in one of your Q&A that with the research you did on guitar care products, you would now only use Music Nomad or another-brand-that-I-do-not-remember products. Are you planing to make a video on this subject? Thanks for all the usefull information you share with us!
For Satin finishes it's best to not use a polish or wax, so MusicNomad has a product called Guitar Detailer which is a straight cleaner for Matte/Satin. Hope that helps.
the polish smells like bubble gum. I really like it :) the nomad tool is awesome, I recommend it, and the f one oil. I really enjoy music nomad guitar accessories. I highly recommend them.
I really like your videos, it's not a lot of b.s. and I have learned a lot of new things, also I would like to know where your store is. I live in Glendale. Thanks, keep up the great work.
It was a tad Sham Wow-ish, but the self deprecating acknowledgment helped. For the amount of product 'demonstrated' you would have expected AMS to have offered up more than a single giveaway pack.
Great video series Phillip. I use and purchase exclusively from American Musical supply and those cleaning products are fantastic. I do have an Ernie Ball tool kit from AMS. Most young players don't give it a second thought about cleaning or setting up your guitars. Thank you for a great presentation.
Im still a bit confused by the difference between the “Guitar Polish” and “The One.” Did i get that right that basically the polish is just for shinning up the finish and hardware every now and then and the One is more to get the dirt and oils off and can be used routinely?
James, the Pro Strength Guitar Polish is more a deep clean and polish you can do every few months, while the Guitar ONE is more of a maintaining product in between shows and rehearsals that also has Wax in it so it protects the finish from all the elements out there from binding to the finish. The Polish also is more effective on polishing oxidized hardware. Be careful on gold hardware as some are really thin plating and would not use on thin gold plating. The Polish is also best for gummy vintage Nitro as better with a paste polish than a liquid spray (Guitar One). Hope that helps.
Any tips for polishing a satin-finished Les Paul? Not trying for super high gloss, just a little shine. I've tried the StewMac Preservation Polish, it didn't help. Thanks!
There was a commercial about some dude shaving his balls that played before you video played. Freaking TH-cam, They should change their name to YouSuck now. Cool video.
I can't believe I just watched a guy clean his guitar for 15 minutes -- and enjoyed every minute of it. This is the perfect blend of entertainment, education, and advertising. I genuinely learned a few things, saw some nice products I didn't even know existed, and laughed all along the way.
Plus it’s a good products :)
I feel the same way!
I even got my wife to watch it with me and stayed interested too! Lol!
😎👍🎸
I love Music Nomad stuff. I’ve had nothing but great experiences with them. Last year I sent them some old strings for some research they are doing and they sent me a handful of their products for free!
Very cool!
Phillip McKnight also big fan of the comedy in this one Phil!
David Letterman would have been proud of those glass-shattering fx
The Nomad Neck Cradle is the epitome of genius. Love that fn thing.
I have become a HUGE fan of the MusicNomad products. Everything I have purchased from them is worth it's weight in gold. And I agree about the F1 oil for the fretboard. Love it!!
This looks much easier and more practical than soaking my guitar in the bath tub, thanks Phil!
@@lueysixty-six7300 Well ya see theres your mistake...Never have your Les Paul and your dog in the shower at the same time silly!
Still better than a garden hose
Wickednative I just go down to the beach and put it in the salt water for a minute or two, really cleans the guitar nicely
I play my guitar in the shower so it always stays clean.
Been using the Guitar 1 after every gig, and string change, for two years. Wasn't aware of the whole kit; thanks for sharing.
No problem!
I've been using that F-one fretboard oil for a while, it's very good. Also a good tip for tuning stability is to use music nomad's nut oil (similar to "Nut Sauce") on the nut and bridge. Works wonders.
I love their fret polish product! Music Nomad products are awesome!
Great idea adding a rubber base to the ESP wrench. No more fear of accidentally relicing the guitar!
I have always had access to an abundance of tools, first my Dad's and then my own. How popular and desired is the ESP tool, especially with the, "safety," coating of attaching a thick, non-abrasive felt-like fabric, or a more rubber-like coating.

Found out about Music Nomad products when I purchased my first guitar and am so grateful I did. Quality is excellent!!!
I've been using music nomads for a few years now and love their products. Good video Sir 👍.
I absolutely love music nomad. I have nearly all their guitar care products.
i bought the polish and oil as my first ever guitar care product. very very great!
I swear by that f-one oil. Stuffs magic.
That oil is a dream i gotta check out the polish
Love the Letterman-esque style sound effects- had me cracking up!

Thanks for the great video . I use the Music Nomad fret board oil and the Music Nomad spry cleaner wax, Great products!
For the fret polish i just carefully line really thin coat of em on top of the darn fret.

Hi Phil, I appreciate this video, however could you comment on cleaning and treating maple fretboards. Thanks
Great suggestion!
I've talked to both Suhr & Fender and they said "Just wipe it down with soft cloth" - Do nothing. The oils from your hands are enough. I have 2 Maple's myself.
@@michael_caz_nyc awesome, thanks
Howdot I’ve found as well, if there is a lot of crap on the fretboard,a dry cotton bud gets first off really well
@@calebo29536 thanks
So far I like Music Nomad products. Seems their product line is ever growing.
Braver man than I. IF I HAD a JM Suhr, it would be last guitar I would try out new cleaners and tools with. Maybe a Squier...or a Glarry!
got the new toolkit for christmas this year from my in-laws. LOVE it.
How funny I just bought that neck rest yesterday. I also got some fret/guitar cleaner and some new locking tuners! 👍🏼

Love that guitar Phil awesome I want to get one some Day but I love my Jackson Dinky😎🤘✊
Thanks Phil, learned a couple of things i wasn't doing while cleaning my guitar. Sad that the giveaway is US only though.
I have the blue thingie that I bought in the USA last time works well actually.
Quote of the year we are guitar players we play dead trees😂
Love the conditioner. Been great.
Loved this video!
Thank you!!
I need this! I have a cheaper guitar upgrade project lined up.
Thanks Phil
Thanks for this video, very useful !

Yes, and I plan to talk about why as well.
Awsome! thanks Phil
The fun sarcasm coming across nicely. Well done. ;)
First time being exposed to these products. I will be purchasing them in the near future! Thanks Phil!
I’d use music Nomad for all my poly finish guitars but use virtuoso polish and cleaner for your nitro finishes.
You rock, dude
That tool kit is a good thing to keep in your gigbag.
Great video! I just bought mine. Thank you!
❤️❤️❤️everything Music Nomad! They’re such a forward thinking company!
Thanks Andrew!

Just an fyi that polish will take finish off of certain pickups. My solo II custom from schecter had gold pickups, they're silver now.
that's a cool kit,btw I'm going to buy a couple cheap guitars and practice on setting them up myself instead of paying for it.

Hi Philip, love your videos, you bring an invaluable insight to all . Take care love the PRS lucky Guy ,....do these companies ship to Spain ?
I found that if you do a 'half wrap' and cut the string off in the middle I don't catch my hand, or anything else on the sharp string end. JMHO --gary
awesome mate
Dude ur sooooo smart!!
Interesting you use 10-48, just a feel thing Philip? I use Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky, 9-46 for the feel
very cool stuff! keep the good content coming :)
Is that a Fender strat? Or PRS Guitar? Fretboard looks beautiful
I might have missed it, but is there something we should be aware of when treating a glossy maple neck? Thanks!
yeah just clean it as it doesnt need to be oiled
@@haus05 Awesome. Thanks!
