Unpaid testimonial from real person not an actor: I signed up for virtual guitar tech once in regards to a chicken head knob issue, you guys walked me through the fix in the first 10 minutes because my local shops didn't want to mess with my ES-345. 100% recommend for great guitar tech service and guitar conversation.
I paint cars professionally, and play guitar as a passion. This is very satisfying as finish upkeep between the two is very similar. Also just bought a Les Paul Studio in tangerine burst, it's a work of art.. absolutely great quality guitar. I don't play only Gibson, but there will always be at least one in my collection.
@@gibsonguitar hi I have a question. I have a Gibson Les Paul studio I’m looking to see what type of cleaner is recommended for it. It is a red finish and I was looking to buy the right cleaner. What would you recommend?
I find it much easier to polish when changing strings, surprised that wasn’t mentioned. Allows access between pups, around bridge and tuning pegs, and on the fretboard itself (not polishing the fretboard, but lightly oiling it).
I have watched many of your videos and I sure hope Gibson knows and appreciates what an asset you are to the company (and customers!) I was nervous about doing a strap button hole fix until I saw you do it, kind of made that repair legit. Great job with explaining things in a manner we understand and the topic of the videos are relevant for everyday players like me. My beautiful new (somewhat) LP Standard in Iced Tea appreciates it and so do I. I mean even something as simple as cleaning and polishing you have transformed into an art form that now we have confidence and knowhow. Keep up the great work Jim., and ask for a raise, you deserve it.
I really appreciate Jim's advice. He explains things very well and has a calm nature about him which helps make me feel comfortable in doing this myself. These videos are very well done. Keep them coming!
I find it helps to shake the cleaner/polish before spraying/applying. That stuff settles and separates with a week or two. I use Virtuoso, but I’ve noticed most all cleaners/polishers can use a little shake before using 😎 Also, Music Nomad Guitar Detailer is made for satin/matte. I usually wait til I’m changing strings to give it a good clean and polish. 🤘🏻
@@Wargasm644 I dunno, I thought it was the other way around.. Lol. I pretty much only use the polish. My bottle of cleaner is almost full, still. 😅 They're both great products though.. Can't go wrong either way really!
@@R3TR0R4V3 lol. I’m the opposite. My polish is mostly full, and my cleaner is almost out. The polish is fantastic. But I only polish every few months . I use the cleaner weekly. And that stuff is great. When I first used the cleaner I was like “why do they even make polish?” 🤣. It works so well. The polish is great too though. Requires a bit more work, but really good.
Thank You so much Jim DeCola & Gibson for Showing Us how to Take Care of Our Gibsons. I just got a Beautiful 1950s spec Gibson Heritage Cherry Burst Les Paul Standard and I love it. the quality ,It's just perfect.
Congratulations! I too bought a new Gibson Les Paul Guitar 2019 just two days ago. I was initially considering the tribute from the start. But, I ended up going for the studio instead. I honestly think their both great guitars. Do you also use Gibson guitar strings? If so, do you use the bright wire reinforced set by any chance?

What do you use to clean a VOS finish that's slightly dulled down and not glossy? I have a custom shop les paul with that kind of finish, and I'm not sure what to use, so I haven't really cleaned it, just wiped it down. ANd what about the aged nickel parts? Same deal.
How about a video on how to polish out scratches from the back of the guitar (buckle rash). I have a 2004 Slash Les Paul Custom that I want to polish out the scratches to sell but I don't want to make a mess of it. Any ideas?
All I can think of with this is Nigel Tufnel doing a how to on cleaning the guitar, and saying, "Don't touch it!! Don't even look at it. You'll scratch the finish. Ok, you're done with that one."
Dear JIM enlighten me a little bit on how what to use and ,to refresh my gibson firebird 64 custom shop III lining case the one with the red hard lining in it thanks !!
Thanks Gibson this is important stuff!... I just wish the UK dealer that sold me my black Les Paul Junior had seen this before they prepared it for shipping and ruined the finish.
That's terrible, I must have missed your video on that one. I'm glad he went over how to polish a Satin Nitrocellulos finish, I just picked up a used Michael Clifford Melody Maker with OHSC and the candy! But can definitely tell it needs a little cleaning.
Hello, I have a Les Paul studio from 2018, can I spray directly on the guitar and rub it afterwards with a cotton cloth?... A little hello from France to all!!!! ✌😎
I collected money for gibson guitar! I'm hesitating to buy between gibson 2017 firebird studio or 2017 flying v. Anyway it's perfect video for guitar cleaning!
My ebony Les Paul Traditional is impossible to polish on the area where my arm contacts the guitar. I'm skeptical of the Gibson polish being the magic remedy to this problem.
Great video! Any other tip on how to maintain the classic smell of vanilla which comes with the Gibson guitars e.g. the es 335? I love that smell, I use the Gibson polish but I don't want the smell of this detergent to cover up the one of vanilla over time... can this happen or is it just a silly worry?
I had Les Paul Studio years ago, and the back of the neck had a gummy, sticky feel to it. I could never get it clean enough so it didn't have that feeling. Is that something the finish can sometimes do? I've also grazing in the finish over the years and some discoloring (I was going to buy a used phelham blue DG 335, but some of the blue was turning a yellow green color). Great videos though. I enjoy them even if I think I know what I'm doing. Always learn something. Cheers
HON. SIR, I OWN A ACOUSTIC GUITAR WHICH IS A OPEN PORE GUITAR ALL MAHOGANY BODY SOLID WOOD GUITAR. I HAVE A QUESTION.. WHAT SHOULD I USE TO MAINTAIN AND POLISH THE WOOD.. ( POLISH OR OIL ETC) KINDLY HELP.
I tried Nu finish on mine and I think it patina worse. More cracks. What is the gibson polish made from. Whatever is clever, I'm going to the guitar store. Thanks
ive been using Dunlop 65 on my 22 les paul trad pro v. I just figured out that it actually softens up the nitro and makes it smell really bad. it literally gives it a gummy feel that is not good. When i first got the guitar i changed the strings and used the D65 to clean it up andso before i knew, I thought it was just the way a Gibson finish was when new.. It actually cured over the last few weeks and i just cleaned it again and the gummy feel and smell is back.. It actually smells enough to give me a headache.. Glad i figured out what was causing it. Now its gonna have to cure a little more again over the next few days.
The point is you are shinning a brand new guitar that is already clean , how do i shine my 1992 Les paul custom black beauty , you know where the arm touches the top ! That's another story then , i don't think a little clothes and the push-push is enough !
Any idea how to remove acidity discoloring from the nitrocellulose finish? My asking tends to be acidic and I have sone staining on my beautiful Gibson Custom Shop acoustic. Appreciate any suggestions!
You use it too? I borrow it always from my neighbour 🤣 I also used some Vulcanet polish cloth (but only on poly finished guitars..won't try it on a Nitro guitar 😅) with great results
Hello. Does anyone know how to clean an epiphone traditional pro IV, with the worn finish ? Any liquid cleaners used ? I'd appreciate any feedback from anyone. Thanks.
Thank you for these videos. I love my 2003 Les Paul but my metal hardware is so tarnished and hazy while the hardware on my 2000 strat is still shiny like new. Why does this happen?
It could be the difference between nickel and chrome, I just got a SG standard ‘61 and it has nickel hardware which will tarnish much faster and easier, but the normal SG standard with the big pick guard has chrome hardware which doesn’t really tarnish it just gets dirty.
I live near the sea, where everything gets rusty. Is there any special care if I want to keep rust away from my strings and screws and metal parts in general?
In this video, I see that you covered a full gloss finish, and the satin finish for cleaning. However, I think a video on cleaning a VOS finish would be helpful. I've heard that you don't clean, or polish the finish as it will take off the VOS stuff. I'd like to hear the company's opinion on proper maintenance of a VOS finish.

My arm rubbing on satin has worn through it ..natural relic job 🙂🎸
