Pwede siya gamitin sa metal parts.

just be sure to take them all off the wood when u apply wd40... i suggest you soak it in the solution overnight and dry it well, then place it back to your axe

 natry niyo na po sir?? what happens after that?? ung parts ko kasi moslty corroded na eh, any improvements ?? thanks^^

magaling makatanggal ng rust ang wd-40.

kung sa string ko ilagay to?  wala kayang epekto sa tunog ng string?

awww i dont think that is a good idea... wd40 will help the rust loosen so it breaks off the corroded thing.. Rusty strings actually means portions of the steel have been corroded thus the expected tone from a newly installed string is way different from a corroded one.. applying wd40 will definitely shave off some rust but the tone of the string as you expect it to sound will entirely be different.. as for the rusty strings, i suggest you replace it with a new set instead..

matagal maubos yang fast fret brad... nasubukan ko na rin ang planet waves string cleaner... mas mabilis sya maubos kaysa jan sa fast fret... controlled kasi ang labas ng cleaning solution ng fast fret...

[leofelismino]

i just got myself the ernie ball guitar polish and i can't think of anything else it is easy to use and it doesn't leaves any strong smell and residues...also i got that those ghs fast fret for cleaning my fret 'n strings like the guitar polish easy to use and as i applied it the frets came alive...bottom line these cleaners can do their job but pricey against those alternatives...yep these alternatives can do their job but     some can do their own hidden damages   

+100000000 sa fast fret!!!! bangu bangu pa!! more than six months sakin di parin ubos!!! sulit ang 300 php..

sa guitar polish... naghahanap pa ako ng cheap alternative but hanggat di pa ubos i use d andreas- xmas gift sakin ng friend ko.

meron din nito sa Lazer sa SM north.

ang bango nga eh, parang aspilet/aspirin yung amoy. hehe.

[chupao]

to remove dirt from the fret wires i used a very fine steel wool

just isolate the fret by using any kind of tape to avoid scratching the fret board then wipe it parallel to the fret wire and you can see the difference hee hee tanggal ung mga brown etc na kung anu man kintab pa

ive done it already it really works

meron pa bang ibang alternative bukod sa lemon oil ?
wala kasi ako pambile eh

[siore]

Olive oil pards.  So far so good.  After steel wool, "stripe" each fret (no soaking!), then spread with a cloth.  Fret board like new.

Yun lang.   

Kung hindi kayo madalas bumili nun, lugi nga.  Lagi kasing may stock dito nun eh.

No need for a guitar polish. I use Pledge before but after some time, you will see swirl marks.

then I discovered.



"For that scratch free cleaning"

P124.75 (1 piece) lang sa Handyman in Robinson's malls

super lambot siya, non-abrasive at hindi mo na kelangan ng additional cleaning agents to get the job done.

I have black guitars and it's a chore to clean the body (I clean my guitars after I play 'em).

After playing, yung sweat stains na naiwan sa finish... TANGGAL AGAD sa isang punasan lang! Look ma, no guitar polish involved!

Unlike kapag planela gamit mo na ilang punaspunas pa para matanggal ung sweat marks sa body... time consuming at baka may maiwan ba na swirl marks! heheheh

I got the idea sa Planet Waves site coz may product rin sila na micro-fiber cloth meant for instrument care...

MICRO-FIBER CLOTH
   
The Planet Waves Micro-Fiber polishing cloth acts like a magnet for dust, dirt, and oils, and lasts considerably longer than ordinary cloths. Woven from microscopic fibers, the Planet Waves Micro-Fiber Cloth is 10 times finer than silk, up to 30 times finer than cotton, and 100 times finer than a human hair. The fibers are woven into masses of tiny "hooks & loops" which cut through stains, attracting and absorbing dirt, smudges, and microparticles that ordinary cloths cannot reachor remove.
Best of all, the Micro-Fiber polishing cloth needs only minimal polish or no polish at all!

May mga micro-fiber cloth meant sa sasakyan pero hindi yun yung kinuha ko. Yung kinuha ko yung may picture ng furniture coz like the guitar, kahoy yun eh. Takot ako magasgas ung guitar ko! heheheh

I just wished I discovered this at an earlier time para naiwasan magkaroon ng swirl marks yung iba kung guitars. haaaaaaaaay!
