Tools Needed:

1 rag - use this for cleaning the dirt off of your guitar. NOT for the finish or polishing of your guitar. Use an old sock.. TShirt..
1 Microfiber Cloth - use this for cleaning the finish of your guitar. I use the Dunlop Combo - Dunlop Microfiber Cloth + Cleaner
D'addario: Pro-Winder String Cutter -Pro-Winder LINK
Strings: I use Stringjoy Orbiter 11's - Stringjoy Orbiter LINK
Fretboard Scraper: ONLY FOR ROSEWOOD / EBONY FRETBOARD! Be very careful. A plastic card of some sort works great. Do a small test to make sure that it will not damage your fretboard. For MAPLE / gloss finishes, use a papertowel.. the finger goo should wipe right off.
Stewmac Toolkit: This kit has served me SO well over the years. It comes in a hard metal case. Has all of the attachments you need to tighten and fix anything on your guitar. - Stewmac Toolkit LINK
Fret Polishing Cloth - I have such a small piece that has done me well forever! Be careful on Maple fretboards as this is slightly abrasive and may scratch your board if you are not careful. DO NOT USE ON THE FINISH OF YOUR GUITAR. - Miracle Polishing Cloth
Nut Lubrication - Not necessary, but I do find great for added tuning stability. I use the Stewmac one! It is small but will last you FOREVER - Stewmac Guitar Grease - LINK
