Just got my first kiesel with Birdseye maple board and this was so informative on how to properly clean and polish the neck and frets. Thanks Jeff!

A video of basic instrument care or a compilation of videos, like this one, that gives you necessary information of proper handling and care to keep your Kiesel like new. Also, mentioning if there are different methods or techniques for different woods or finishes. Also, what NOT to do. Tutorials from Jeff Kiesel himself. :) I think that would be awesome. Great video.

I don't even own a guitar with a maple fretboard, but it's pleasing to look at the cleaning process.

Sonia Anubis Jesus Is the way, the truth and the life. Religion NEVER saved anybody. It's nothing but traps and Satan twist things to keep you deceived! He gives you the WORLD only to lose you're soul! "What does it profit a man to gain the world and lose his soul? Jesus there's true freedom and peace! He wants to free you from those chains! If you desire He says "come" there is a scripture that Jesus says saying if anyone is thristy or hungry, come drink and eat without cost 💕 When your sick of religion and seeking and never grasping what you desire. When your tired and heavy laden and afraid, etc. Wen you just can't do it anymore. Seek the true GOD. I promise you when you truly seek and want to know God you'll find Him. He says so. If you seek God wholeheartedly you will FIND Him! He will reveal Himself to those that seek Him! If you have never known Jesus - repent and believe the gospel. Jesus loves you. He isn't religion. He doesn't want your worldly possessions or money. All these things don't belong to you but God. He wants you. He died on that cross for our sins. He loves you. You were bought with a price! Jesus Christ died for our sins. A debt we could NEVER have paid. He reconciled us back to God. And invites ALL to come. Take the free gift of salavtion. "Come to me, all Ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." 💕 Rev 22:17 "And the spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come.

Friend of mine was about to clean his guitar (one I gave him some years back). Luckily, I stopped him before he started the work. Luck, again? Not luck but memory. I asked him to see this first. It proved a great help.

this is made my day. thanks jeff!

Please consider doing a video tour of your factory and building process video. Thank you so much! Cheers from Portugal.

Nice! Would love to see a set up video. Neck relief, action, all that. Yeah, there are lots, but Kiesel Setups look great and consistent.

So helpful. Thanks a billion.

Very useful video! Jeff, thank you so much!!! Now I will definitely use this method! ;)

Good video. How about a video on how to make truss rod adjustments? Also, talk about the flip side of that topic, which is how NOT to jack up your neck by adjusting the truss rod the wrong way. Thanks for these videos.

Great Videos Jeff.

Yes more behind the scene stuff , good idea

great advice, thanks! I will do this to a Birdseye maple fingerboard i have sometime. I bought it used, its pretty dirty, its seen a lot of people at the gigs.

Go over all the finish options. Great video. Thanks.

awesome thank you keep them coming

I'd like to see a video of how you guys at the custom shop polish frets. They look super shiny!

Cool gats guys. Love em. Would love to see how the custom shoplevels frets please.

Thanks Jeff!

It's a Good Tip Thank You !

On a similar note, how about cleaning and care of a tung-oiled body/neck. Or, how you guys apply, and treat the tung-oiled guitars.

EXCELLENT JEFF ! 👍 👍

Killer advice. Btw, love the DC135s

as kiesel guitar seem to have some of the best/cleanest finishes I've seen, I'm interested in what you use to finish, how exactly you finish sand and buff and all the products that are used...especially the trans white

I use this cleaning method as well. But I do not use compressed air at first . I first use a feather paint brush that is super soft to remove metal steel wool pieces from the guitar. Then I vacuum them up as much as possible so they do not scatter around the house or shop. Then I blow out the rest. On bolt on necks. I take them off the body removing all possibilities of the metal sticking to the pickups. I do love that guitar though.

Great video! Beautiful guitar. How about setting up Floyd Rose and/or Wilkson tremolos.

That is a beautiful guitar.

Looks like you've been doing this your whole life. Oh wait, that's the case! Big fan and owner of 2 Carvin/Kiesel custom shop basses. Nothing below excellent.

I usually wipe off the boogers with a very slightly moist towel 1st, and then a dry towel and linseed oil after. That usually does it. Steel wool on frets if needed. The wool works good to smooth out a rough non lacquered fretboard. I also recommend using a fretboard protector while polishing frets by hand, especially on a lacquered fretboard (they are couple bucks on eBay) Easier than taping the fretboard and neck. Love my DC727!

finally something i can do to help keep that lighter color of my maple fretboards! will the tung oil darken colored inlays much?

that guitar beautiful dude!

The best thing I've ever heard the shmoo buildup on the fretboard being called is 'finger-ass'. Haha still makes me laugh.

Just the video I was looking for! Thanks Jeff! I was wondering if you have tips on spray guns malfunctioning and spraying out droplets on your clear coat/paint. How can you fix these droplets easily? I've found sanding takes too much time and if not done smooth enough, the droplet appears on the next coat. Drips and drops? WTF?

Great!!

id love to see a detailed demo of a SCB7 and the building process of one

Actually washing your hands before you play is the easiest thing you can do. Nice video. Also you can get a strong magnet and wrap it in your steel wool before using.

I would stay away from using a magnet. I've heard stories of the extra magnetic field weakening pickups over time. I stay away from steel wool all together because it is abrasive, even at such a light gauge. Check out Gorgomyte cloth. It's completely non abrasive and conditions the wood as well.

@onpsxmember

Those gorgomyte cloths are great when you're working on a really dirty guitar. Also not bad maybe once every few years. Not a fan of the steelwool, I prefer the fretwire erasers and finish with a wheel on a proxxon rotary tool (a dreml is sooo much louder...day/night difference) for the final buffing.

I like to see how you adjust the action on an electric guitar. I have a Carvin DC-127 but I am not fully satisfied with how low I can get without buzz, compare to my other guitars.

Thanks You !!!!!!!....

I have a Charvel San Dimas (maple fretboard) that needs cleaning. How do I know if the wood is treated or untreated ? I've googled it a few time but still haven't come to much of a conclusion

Maybe tape the horn and other cavity too? Takes 5 seconds. I tape both pickups from magnetic dust. Invariably it gets to any pickup. Great video. Suggestion? Pickup height adjustment and why. Malmsteen recesses the center pickup raises the other two. What sounds do you get by doing this?

Great video. Will this work with ebony and rosewood as well?

Thank you

damn beautiful guitar..

Now THAT is a beautiful piece of fingerboard wood! BirdsEye Maple: the best! Hey Jeff is there any way to have any choice over a BEMaple board when ordering?? Like is there figuring amounts that can be chosen for different price grades of some way to really identify the specific wood that we want on our board?

Do a video for setting up a Floyd Rose for intonation, and string height. Those 2 things crippled me when I was new to guitar and KZread didn't exist. lol

Would love to see what you do better now that 10 years ago. I saw a video where your dad and you said now you make better guitars, so would like to know exactly why you say it. Thanks!

The Aries AM8 needs more content on KZread. I guess the 7 string is more popular. I'd like to buy the Aries AM8, but with such a big purchase I'd like to see videos more about it.

Well Jeff, you're the expert, but I have to disagree with the use of steel wool on this. That being said, I absolutely love the tung oil idea. I'm definitely going to give that a try, so thanks for the great video.

I'm surprised you're not first cleaning it with something like dawn soap, of course diluted in warm water. To break up the grease. Use a cotton swab to apply so you won't soak the instrument. Works like a charm for me. I would love to see some video's about bridge setup and some about the electronics. Thanks for the video.

you never realy want to use water on a freatboard especialy an exposed one

Will you do a step-by-step video series on how to build a guitar? I've been doing some research for over a year while I save up for the rest of the tools I'll need; but most tutorials and guides I've found are either just bits and pieces of the process or the end product doesn't appear to be high quality. I realize I'm not going to make outstanding instruments right off the bat. However I do feel I would stand a much better chance watching and learning from a master guitarsmith such as yourself. Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated.

I have a slightly different approach, as all my maple-board bass guitars are high-gloss urethane (or poly) finishes.. I use the painter's tape to mask off the wood between the frets, and clean the frets with Scotchbrite and follow that with a good metal polish (in my case, AutoSol SOLVOL). I then use a car polish (Meguire's) to clean the maple fretboard, (I will use a soft toothbrush to get the smegma up against the frets) and follow it up with an automotive cream paste wax (again, Meguire's). YMMV, one man's opinion, just my .02 etc, etc.

Can you make a video about how to put an hipshot bridge I am very curious because I want to put one on my guitar but don't know how to and how to set up a guitar would be sick and also a video on trust rod adjustment

thanks

following the same process could you do a darker colour of varnish before or after the oil? is that possible and would that damage the fretboard or not?

Please do a Carvin DC or ST series neck truss rod and/or shimming what needs to be done to lower String high action at the upper frets...action normal at feet 1-12 but then string action is higher

Can you do the same with the back of the neck if it is also finished with oil?

Sweet thanks Jeff. Is this method ok for Roasted? I was wondering since Im playing mine 5 hours a day. My A2 has a screaming flame maple fretboard. What no gloves? I know how you feel about germs!

OK... I need to know the song that is in the intro...that is just sick!

How about a video about "how to wire up our passive/active module." I might attempt to install on my Jason Becker "numbers" guitar. I know it would void my warranty but I don't care.

Hi Jeff! Sanding the direct surface of the fretboard doesn't cause scratches?

Do you guys have a video on basic setup?

I just bought an Ibanez S series guitar. It came with a Bound Jatoba fret board. I can’t find out how to keep it clean and maintained. Any thoughts would be great.

I do have a question on your necks on that guitar. What type fret wire are you using?

Can we use the minwax tung oil to all type of fretboard/fingerboard?, i mean for cleaning section?

So there is no finish at all on this FB? I have a Ric 360W that has a maple FB with no finish so this method will work? No change in the color of the FB? Thanks!

Would you do the same steps for a rosewood fingerboard?

Fantastic video! I just attempted to clean a a maple fretboard on one of my guitars the other day. You guys were a tad late with this video! :P Something I've always had issues with is getting dust and such off of my tremolo. If you guys know of a way to do that, I'd love to see a video on it. :)

If you need something a little stronger, use an soft tooth brush. The fibres are stil soft enough to avoid scratches, but since they are much shorter they will clean better small places such as a Floyd Rose's saddles.

Does this work for a Strat neck that is treated? (gloss)

I have evo frets with rosewood fingerboard can i also use the same process

What about the back of the neck? How do you clean, go with grain? Love to see that because that’s always dirtier than your fretboard.

Pretty much the same process for the tung oil finish necks but if you add some wax on top of that varnish after it dries, you'll feel a LOT less friction and add another layer of protection to the wood.

I'd use the accompanying company's wax. For Minwax it's just called Minwax finishing wax. Instead of Minwax tung oil finish, I use Birchwood Casey Tru oil and Gunstock wax. It's also a nice varnish and for me is easier to find.

I want to see how to do some cool finishing.

The next vid should be on neck maintenance for the tung oiled backsides. Or if it is the same as the board.

Cool. Thanks for the link. You guys are making some beautiful guitars!

For all of you saying "Don't use steel wool! "It'll scratch and leave marks on the wood". You are incorrect. Not if you are using 0000 steel wool. In furniture refinishing, we use a more coarse steel wool for stripping paint, lacquer or other wood finishes. Like a number 2 or 3. Then we move up to finer grades while cleaning and prepping the surface to be refinished. We end up with a 0000 grade to actually polish the piece to take out any scratches or swirl marks. If you use light pressure and a vigorous back and forth, you will NOT scratch your fretboard or your frets even going against the grain. I don't use Tung Oil on my fretboard though. I use something called guitar honey on my Rosewood fretboard afterward and it looks great when I'm finished. Trust me. Try using the 0000 steel wool and you'll see how easy it is to clean a dirty fretboard and give your frets a nice polished, smooth shine.

Would the steel wool remove fine scratches ?.
