I usually just draw mine a bath and throw in some bath beads... Maybe light a couple candles to set the mood too.
sexy
That's next level stuff right there
Now that’s funny 🤣 he bout to put a 💍 on it
My Dean Vx loves bath bombs 😂
found the best way to clean my guitar is to put it in the dishwasher
don't forget to hang it out in the garden afterwards, to let it dry completely
Supertonic Jack And don't forget ironing it, or it could get wrinkled
Don't forget to solder it to a coat hanger and put it in your closet, so the fabric is preserved.
yep after all its the fabric that separates a good guitar from a bad one
I'd rather not put my guitar in my wife
I will have to disagree with you in the use of the paper towel at the beginning. The purpose of using a micro-fiber cloth is to prevent scratching the guitar. A common paper towel is just too harsh on the guitar.
The perfect analogy would be to use a newspaper first and then a nice quilted toiled paper....
Says: Spray a little bit.
1:42
that fretboard was due a cleaning for sure
Kind of embarrassed. Fretboard shaming? Lol
like did you let bacon grease set on it over night?.. jk ...the important thing is that its now clean.....dirt just shows that you play the crap out of it.
Mmm... bacon...
You can play with greasy hands? NONONONO that's just the worst feeling,i mean every time my brother does that,i have to wipe my guitar off(with window glass cleaner spray,of course lol ,oil is fucking 10$,and i only have a srupid cheapass nylon string acoustic😢
what would happen if you had a Floyd rose guitar? i mean the guitar can be damaged if water from the paper towel gets in through the pickups... right? i need help pls
I've literally been cleaning my guitar with EXACTLY the same stuff for 4 years before I found this video :D
2:16 makes my guitar fretboard look brand new
Tyler I'm having some serious family problems and some personal problems right now which has lead me to hard depression again. I literally feel like killing myself. But after coming back to your videos I feel 75% better.
You're real inspirational Tyler.
THRASH METAL & FUN RIFFS thanks bro. I realized I am.
I have watched a few of theses cleaning guitar videos your the only one that suggests it is a good idea to use water on your instrument everyone else says that a hard 8% moisture content is needed for great tone and that using water to clean it could compromise the moisture percentage causing micro cracks to form and cause problems in the future also for the fret board they use a bees wax baced oil for moisture barrier and to keep it form getting as dirty as fast so I have 2 questions:
1 why do you recommend using water
2 how often should it be cleaned
after every gig I play I clean my guitar with all my sweat I heard it cleans very good because ist's very aggressive and when it's cold and I don't sweat I use some whisky
Your guitar is so beautiful man
Ahhh...this just feels good to watch
I use the same oil, very happy with it!
Awesome!
I would recommend scratching the shit off your fretboard with like credit card and then oil it :)
I'd avoid this advice ;)
Ok i perspnally find it useful but i guess eveeyone cleans guitar bit differently
I had a really crapped-up fretboard... I oiled it, then scraped all the garbage up with a guitar pick, and wiped everything clean. prolly not a very professional method, but it worked...
Idk why but this reminded me of Patrick using the special edition Mermaid Man and Barnacle Bot card for everything in that spongebob episode. That's just me though...
@Waters scraping your neck is way dumber than laying a guitar on a table geez dude get your head out of your ass.
this green guitar are soooo beautiful!!!
I use orange oil because wills easy guitar reccomended it, but then i watched scott groves videos and he says theres no need to oil you fingerboard its complete BS but then I another video from Kiesel guitars says clean it with steel wool, then another guy whos a proffessional luthier for 40 years uses Pledge. Another guy says True Oil and Gun wax. And then theres the lemon oil lovers oh and the lighter fluid people. AND NOW THIS F ONE stuff which claims to have all natural but dont list any of the actuall ingredients they use in there mix. WHO THE FUCK KNOWS how to clean your guitar fret board. Just pick one and cross your fingers.
Keep steel wool AWAY from your guitar. Steel wool sheds like mad, and the pickups are magnets. They pick that shit up like crazy. Figure some other way out to do it, don't use steel wool.
Thats what some say and others say its fine. Opinions are everywhere. My way is the best way your way is the best way. that was my point.
Dan people use steel wool all the time. Its called being careful. In some horrible cases its the only option.
Dude same here. And last time I used my Dunlop just on guitar not fret board my hole arm got hives lol. I barely even used any.. and then the guy at store I bought it from said I could put it on the fret board I’m like dude I’ve heard 50 different things some people say don’t put anything on it it’s like how do I clean my damn guitar ahhhh lol
I have a 1985 Ibanez an a 1990 Stratocaster.... I have never oiled my frets or anything. Just wiped them down... My guitars are flawless..... Just saying.
i reccomend doing the frets first because you will get spray and mess all over your guitar when doing them. also good to have an old toothbrush to work the frets and reach into tight spots on the hardware.
I put mine in the dishwasher
haha made my day :D
w13l4nd glad I did ; )
Byrnee 30 I heard it makes the electronics last really long
Are there any precautions regarding the presence of a trem?
Not with the products in the video. Just be sure to apply the cleaner directly to a cloth so you can control where it goes instead of spraying it directly on the body where it might be hard to wipe it clean, e.g. your trem
Music is Win I've always been scared to take off all the strings at once since it fucked up the trem, and thus my fretboard is never as clean as it should be.
Taking off your strings shouldn't fuck up your trem. It'll sit at a funny angle until you restring it, though.
Ok. So please help me i uses lysol to wipe my guitar when i was a beginner and now the strings and frets are rusty.Will steel wool and lemon oil get the rust out and make my guitar look and feel new? Thanks.
I use my guitar as a canoe paddle.
This way I have fun on the lake and when I am done I have a nice clean guitar.
Sand blasting works pretty good too.
If you want to save money with the sand blasting method then do what many guitar cleaning experts recommend.
Tie your guitar to the bumper of your Lamborghini and drag it behind you on the beach for a few miles.
It's O.K. to drive out into the water as it won't do either the car of the guitar any harm.
for dunlop brand..i'm so confusing about dunlop 65 lemon oil and dunlop 02 conditioner..it's the same purpose?
Do you have a tutorial of changing the strings?
how often is it recommended to clean your guitar? especially with regards to changing the strings, is there a recommended time i should keep a set of strings on?
Hermodice112 it really depends how much you play, if you play a lot then I would suggest changing your strings every month but if you don’t play as much I would suggest once every 3 months. And if you want to you can clean the body of your guitar every time you change strings or even more often if you wish, and as for the fretboard you really only need to condition it once or twice every year, hope this helps.

Hi, thanks for these advices. Could you also explain how to deal with mildew spots on fabric (synthetic fiber actually) sheath? I've bought my guitar like a month ago and I could see even though the sheath was brand new (also the guitar was) and the shop looked a very tidy and dry place, now I can see the spots are multiplying and spreading all over the sheath. I don't know if sheath is the right word, but I'm talking about those soft cases or fabric cases for guitars. I'm afraid of using an improper chemical and damage either the sheath or even worse, the guitar itself. I live in a place with high levels of humidity, so I'm aware that's part of the problem too, but it's a reality in the whole city, so moving to another house is not a solution now. I already asked to a dry cleaner store and they would do the job, but of course I would have to do that almost every month, which is not only expensive but time consuming too. So I hope you could give me some advice on this. Thank you.
linseed oil is much cheaper, for the fretboard. anything that says it's guitar specific will be more expensive.
Just googled linseed oil and it seems to be more expensive than F One ;) Also, linseed oil is a yellowing oil which can tarnish your fretboard's color. So... go with F One Oil
1 quart (32 fl oz.) of boiled linseed oil will run you $8 at Lowes, or Ace, or whatever hardware store; 2 fl oz. of F-One will run you the same, around $8. Just trying to let people know there is a cheaper alternative.
This is what I was taught as a Luthier's apprentice:
Tape off sound hole (if cleaning an Acoustic)
Lightly scour frets and fretboard with 0000 steel wool.
Brush away dust and fines.
Apply oil sparingly.
Don't use more than what soaks into a paper towel in 1-2 seconds.
Wipe all the excess off.
Then wipe a few more times.
Don't do it more than 1/year.
I believe your method might be better if you're cleaning more often, but in any case keep jammin and putting out these vids.
Thanks so much man! Chris is the man
I dont know why but this video was really satisfying for me......
I don't have a guitar neck holder so I just place it on my bed; I use furniture cedar oil that is pretty much equivalent to regular lemon oil or "guitar" oil but cheaper; I don't polish my guitars because this way I get out the "oh scratches, gotta polish it" loop.
Great tips!
I was thinking about how to clean my guitar, but wound up on TH-cam for a completely unrelated reason. But, I saw this so... good timing
Will you talk about humdifying and dehumidifying a guitar? I am worried that I’m risking damage to my guitars. Should I buy both a humidifier and dehumidifier? Are there machines that do both or act like a thermostat for humidity levels?
I love your "How to" videos
So you can't clear the fretboard and tuning pegs with water? Can I use ballistol?
So putting water on the body doesn't damage it in any way?
i freggin love elixer i havent gone any more expensive than that and im not sure itd even really be worth the money (at least on a super low budget) so im perfectly happy using elixer
Can you WAX the strings? So that when you SLIDE the strings it's easier and decrases friction and also hursts a lot less?
Does any such treatmnt/string wax exists? If so, what are the downsides?
THANKS to all who Reply.. Happy FEB 2021 !!
Make a tutorial on how to replace strings without locking tuners, I suck at replacing strings and the youtube videos that explain it do too.
How do you clean a guitar with a matte finish please answer
I've been told many times from many guitar players that you should not take every string out from the guitar something about that the wood needs to be under presure or something like that. Does anyone know if this is true ? Just started wondering because he took all the strings out.
That Dunlop 65 is fest guitar polish I’ve bought to try and I used just a few sprays and next thing I knew when I went to play guitar the next day my forearm got like swollen hives so I’m assuming maybe I should wipe it off again with a water towel but then I’m wondering does that take the polish right back off n defeat even applying it? Also does anyone know if it is suffice for the neck I saw he used something else for the neck. I have heard that lemon oil being gold or a myth and that it’s actually bad. Also I’d like to know how to make the back of the neck slick so I can move around easy sometimes my hand gets stuck on the next when I try to move quickly
what about a matt finish mapel top body and a mapel-boobinga natural neck???
Tyler:“Looks like a brand new guitar”
It looks clean but any scratches are still there
Tyler- here have a seat
Me-“laying down”
I hate to clean the head of the guitar, especially when strings are on it, it's so hard to do and you can hurt yourself on the string endings- it's just awkward.
Cool background music in the video. What was new to me is cleaning it with water before using the polish. I will use that tip.
Just make sure to use different cloths for each product. You don’t wanna rub lemon oil on your guitar finish. 👍🏻
How would you clean a matte body? Same polish or different procedure?
Should I scrape the fretboard with a razor blade/plastic credit card before using the oil? Or is the oil enough to get it clean?
dont listen to people... why in gods name would you want to scrape your fretboard?
Can I use my fretboard oil to clean the rest of the guitar? If not, should I just stick with water?
So is it safe to clean your electric guitar with liquid?
is it okay to apply the oil to the dirty fretboard before pre cleaning out that dirt?
Hi, do you know if I can use this stuff or any other guitar cleaner polish on the worn Cherry finish of my Epiphone G-400? It's sort of like a satin finish / matte finish. Not glossy like the guitar you're showing.
thank you! awesome, really interesting
what would you recommend if my guitar doesn't have that glossy finish? (it's an ec-1000 with vintage black finish btw)
Omg this is beautiful
Would've been nice if you did this on a cheap used guitar and made it look amazing
Can I clean the guitar neck-back with only water? Cause no money to get those oils. Thanks!
You could possibly but if you have an unfinished fretboard (rosewood, ebony, anything that's not maple) you should try to be really careful because you don't want to get water on unfinished wood
i only just learnt that a lot of guitar stores just use anti static foam spray to clean their guitars. its so much cheaper lol
Hey Tyler :) how often should (or rather is ideal) to clean it?
water wouldnt damage the pickups ?
KaiorxH Pickups are magnets, so I don't believe so, definitely not a small amount of water at the very least
@Music is Win, what do you use to "properly" clean the maple fretboard of an American Fender Strat? Thanks
Well I was just about to ask you to do this video. Guess you re a mind reader!
o_O
How often should I do this? I play 2-3 hours a week
On the 2nd micro fiber cloth do you put the Dunlop 65 spray on it or wipe it dry?
Your a great guitar dad! :D
Guitar PRon at its finest...
I've been told that I should never take all 6 strings off at once because this will mess with the neck. How true is this? What have you heard regarding this?
That is not true.
I have the same doubt. My luthier always said me that I have to be careful with th strings. I clean my guitar like this, but I don't remove all the strings. Maybe I'm wrong :/
How to clean guitar?
Step 1: Have a Guitar!
Do these items exist in different countries like Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Russia etc.
They do - check your local guitar shop. 4SOUND is big in Scandinavia I think.

how would you clean old aged nitrolaquered guitars?
take a sit?
no thankyou
i'll take a shower insted
i used to use my thin picks to scrape off the mud of my fretboard. Does this oil help removing it too like i mean easily or do i need to rub alot loool wat a weird question
Woo. Long time ago! Now you have to many to clean yourself..:)
I just bought a used guitar from someone and it is SUPER dusty. Any part that has open space has dust in it..I think I might have to actually take it apart to clean out the dust except I’m a total noob. This is my first electric guitar lol
Protip: use a credit card to scrape of some dirt from the fretboard prior to applying the oil. It makes the whole process a lot smoother!
Do you also need to use the wax on the body?
The one thing I hate about being a bass player (specifically a finger-style bass player) is the significant build up of gunk from my sweaty hands
What about with a floyd rose
Amy idea how to the the frets all shiny and reflective? some guitar frets just pop
metalheadblues use a fine grit sandpaper. Upwards of 1000. Just make sure you put masking tape on your fretboard to avoid scratching it.
@@telecastersRthebest thats so unnecessary.
what product to use for cleaning that pickup?
@Music is Win Do you know if the Dunlop stuff is safe for pickups and hardware?
Is Dunlop Lemon Oil any good? I was thinking of buying that one and formula 65
It's just scented mineral oil, even baby oil is mineral oil.
how often is the maximum amount of cleaning?
If I dont have F-one oil can i use anything else?
The baby can clean itself. He's a big baby.
that oil is good also for ebony freatboards ?
How often do you clean your guitar
i dont believe i still watching this video.. 14 July 2020.. haha
why did you choose that brand of guitars?
Definitely don’t use paper towel on the body, use it on the fretboard when you lube it. Just get two micro fibers for the body- a dirty and clean wipe
Ima buy a cheap BC RICH off of used guitar center store, then clean it up, get new strings, and possibly new pickups.
Can u use Lemmon oil on maple
Does anyone know the name of the song in the background?
does this work for satin finish guitars?
Wash the fretboard ? It does always ?
Water doesnt loosen up oil
Does this work on a bass too?
Joel_the_Mole - Use a macrofiber cloth.
What does the axe handler do?
Will the paper towel scratch?
How often do you polish your guitar?
my pickup are getting rust and the nails. help please
