Gibson Gear G-CAREKIT1 Stringed Instrument Care

Fundamental para mantener guitarras, el aceite de limón para el diapasón es básico para recuperar el “lustre” de la guitarra

Ho provato tutti i prodotti del cofanetto sulla mia Gibson Les Paul, non pensavo fossero così validi.Metal Cleaner - non è aggressivo con i legno della tastiera, pulisce e lucida perfettamente i tasti, veramente top. Consiglio di non sprecare i panni Gibson per questa operazione ma utilizzare un po di ovatta o cotton fioc per distribuire meticolosamente il prodotto solo sulle parti in metallo (se un po finisce sul legno non succede nulla, non lascia aloni e non corrode), rimuovere il tutto con un panno di cotone.Fretboard Conditioner - va utilizzato per pulire e al tempo stesso nutrire il legno della tastiera, occorre passarlo una volta con un panno di cotone o dischetti per il trucco (più pratici), lasciare assorbire ed eliminare l'olio in eccesso con un panno di cotone (meglio lasciare la chitarra qualche ora fuori dalla custodia per essere sicuri che si asciughi al meglio, almeno io ho fatto così), ho effettuato questa operazione due volte, l'olio lascia un gradevole profumo.Restorative Finish Cream: spruzzare sul panno Gibson due/tre volte e passare sul corpo della chitarra, infine lucidare con un panno pulito per rimuovere eventuali aloni o tracce di prodotto.

Bought as a gift, the recipient was very happy and uses the kit regularly. Great value.

ich habe es als Geschenk für meinen Mann gekauft. Der ist Musiker und braucht das täglich für seine Instrumente. An sich kann ich nichts negatives sagen da es das tut wofür es da ist..nämlich reinigen..aber leider ist der Behälter aus leichtem dünnen Kunststoff und ist somit schon beschädigt bei mir angekommen. Als Geschenk natürlich doof .. der Inhalt ist wie beschrieben ..der Preis allerdings ist echt hoch ...aber woanders bekommt man es auch nicht günstiger , leider ..4 Sterne

There are justifiable complaints here from customers that received one of the three bottles with a loose lid, causing a spill during shipping. I happened to get this product with all the liquid still in their proper containers so I have no packaging complaints.What about the products themselves?The metal polish will likely be the least used on most guitars, there's not enough metal on most guitars to use that polish frequently. You don't want to use the polish on non-metal surfaces, or risk that frequently because it could cause minor abrasive damage. Some items such as tuners might have a heat-stamped logo or text on them, maybe a sticker on cheaper guitars, the metal polish will damage those superficial items. So, user beware. I've used it on a few electric guitar bridges and a rough whammy bar. All items came out shiny, smooth and new looking.The fret board oil is a lot like furniture oil, it can be worked into a dry fret board or bare wood surface like a natural wood Washburn Nuno Bettencourt electric guitar. The end result is the wood luster returns and the surface is slightly slippery. It feels better than new. This does NOT have the same cheesy result as using wax or pledge. It is almost like a healthy lotion for your wood, forgive the double entendre. It works well, restores natural color and replenishes the moisture in most wood surfaces. Make sure to take off the strings, or loosen them a large amount, in order to get the best results on the finger board. This is best done when changing strings.The polish, sometimes considered "restorative finish cream" was the real treat in this tote. It restored a used white guitar with adhesive and tar-like gunk all over it, to something that looked brand new and a crisp bold white. This took a lot of polish, and this use is admittedly bit more than anyone would do with this product. However it really did an amazing job at non-abrasively cleaning off all the residue. Don't use the polish on the finger board or metal parts. Don't use it on uncoated or unpainted wood surfaces. If for some reason you have a matte guitar, I probably wouldn't use it there either.The 3 cloths are identical and sufficient. They are pretty soft so it won't damage any guitars. It would be better if they were different color and the bottle stickers matched that color. This would help prevent people from using the same cloth for multiple products. By the way, don't use the same cloth with multiple products, don't store the different cloths up against one another after you've used them. If you do, product will transfer from one cloth to the other and the subsequent use will not be optimal.The guitar strap is cheap and probably thrown in to help justify the price, or sell these packages to a first time instrument buyer in a retail setting. Add-on purchase which is functional, but also minimal. The only function this strap serves for me is as a divider in this container, and it does that job poorly.Leading me to the container; junk, and entirely non-friendly to store/use/access. The metal lid opens like paint can for no reason other than to frustrate the consumer. There is a handle and I don't really know why, it just gets in the way. The cylindrical nature of this container pretty much insures it will either be tossed in the trash or never travel with any guitarist because it's a poor use of space. The container in NO WAY affects the ability of the cleaning products, so that didn't affect the star rating.If I were to improve upon the container; I think it would be best to have a (cheap) pedal-board like clam-shell plastic case with the Gibson logo on it, in order to store these products (minus the guitar strap). A flatter rectangular case for the 3 products and 3 color-coded cloths.Long review for such a little product, but hopefully the breakdown helps someone. These cleaning products won't change your life or make you sound like Clapton on a guitar, but they are really great for their purpose.
