Hi,
I wish to know what things can I use to clean my guitar?? Things can be bought in those normal hardware shop.


My guitar is an Epiphone Les Paul. Thanks

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

theres guitarcare product that are selling in guitar shops(davis, yamaha at plaza sing etc)

Get those thing and clean. Things from hardware shop for hardware. Heh, unless you see your guitar as hardware, if not, just get those guitar care product. Although theres certain thing which some use for cleaning, but if you treasure your guitar, get the right thing for a start first.

theres guitar fretboard cleaner to guitar gloss cream to string cleaner available in the guitar shops mentioned above.

 

[gibbytones]

and they dont cost much too. so might as well just get the proper stuff.

you can try those dunlop guitar care kits for starters.

 

[BlackKunji]

[markedymark]
