Yours was made on the 58th day of 2013 and was the 586th guitar stamped that day if Im understanding the system right

Hi, I would like to know which product do I need to use to clean my guitar ? It's a stupid question, but mine is Quilt top, so which fretboard conditioner do I need to use and which product do I need to use to polish the finish ?

 

I don't want to trash my guitar.

 

Right now, I'm only using this http://www.planetwaves.com/pwProductDetail.Page?ActiveID=4115&productid=537&productname=Micro_Fiber_Polish_Cloth

 

I'm using the Gibson .10 strings, which string brand should I use when I will change my strings ? I'm thinking about using the Elixir .10 strings ou nanoweb .10 strings.

 

Finally, should I reduce the action, because I think that the Plek system keep the action pretty high IMOO.

 

Thanks :P

Hello!

 

Lemon oil, cold-pressed linseed oil is fine for conditioning any non-laquered fretboard - like rosewood, ebony, torrified maple.

 

You can't go wrong with Gibson polish or Virtuoso - they are both made for nitrocellulose finishes. Don't leave them on the surface of the guitar - immediately work it in, wipe off the excess polish. Also watch out for hard to reach places, don't let the compound get trapped there.

 

The cloth is OK - I use the same thing from Ernie's on my guitars, although they are a bit abrassive.

 

Elixir strings are great, Nanowebs last for ages. Pure nickel strings are ideal for the soft Gibson frets.

 

Cheers... Bence

The Gobbledegook means something like;

 

Les Paul Standard Quilt-top HoneyBurst Chrome Hardware, and the '1' means it isn't a 'second'.

I used car wax on my new Les Paul and it shined the heck out of it and all smudges just wipe off and seals against sweat. I tried it on a small area on the back and it worked nice so I did the front, I didnt do the neck or head stock. Dont use a wax with any abrasives, just smooth wax. I bought a product from Guitar Center called F-1 fret board dressing, seems to work good. Ive always heard .10s are the best for a Les Paul, brand is your choice, whatever you like the best.

.10 is factory stringing, that's all. Jimmy Page plays .09, which I prefer too. The heavy guys often play .11

 

 

It's all a matter of taste, as string choice in general.
