Recommended Items by Sound House’s Guitar Repairman

Have a look, everyone.

This is my work desk.
When I am doing technical work, I have accumulated more and more tools here and there that I don't use.
In this article, I would like to introduce some of the maintenance tools I use on a daily basis, which are also available at Sound House.

Cleaning Cloths

MORRIS / CLEANING CLOTH Cleaning Cloth

Checking the guitar and wiping up are the two tasks that are often done together, so you may have the most opportunities to come in contact with this product. The high quality feel, the good cleaning power, and the number of user reviews all make this cloth the No. 1 item from our store (according to our own research).

If you are wondering about cleaning cloths, buy this one for now.

Polish

Misty / CLEAR COAT CLEANER

I found a video of someone cleaning their guitar with this product while I was browsing social media. In the video, a dirty guitar was made to be shiny and new. I was skeptical, but when I tried it, the finish was stunning and the cleaning power was outstanding. You might even try using it to clean the body of your car. Buy it.

String Winder Type Bit

DADDARIO / Drill Bit Peg Winder[PW-DBPW-01]

MUSIC NOMAD / MN220 -GRIP Bit-

This is a well-known string winder type bit that allows you to do high-speed string changes. After I got this bit, I no longer wanted to use anything else. I use both of these bits depending on the shape of the peg button.
The bit diameter is 1/4" (6.35mm). It can be attached to commonly available electric and pneumatic tools. It is very useful for those who do a lot of string winding work. This is a must-buy.

CLASSIC PRO / SLD Stand

CLASSIC PRO / SLD Stand

This is a soldering iron stand with excellent versatility. The length of the heater is 100mm, and it can be used for a general pencil type up to φ20 and a small gun type.

I use HAKKO's MG series and find it difficult to use as it is, so I have modified it slightly by removing the tube part. (Please modify at your own risk).

Capo

KYSER / KGEB

When I was working at a guitar factory, a senior craftsman taught me my first capo. I was 20 years old and it was a Kyser capo. It was so simple to use, all you had to do was just clamp it. The senior craftsman who recommended such a wonderful capo to me was the head of the assembly line.
Now, I am also in the position as the head of the assembly line. Of course, the product I recommend to my juniors and everyone else is Kyser capos.

Because I am also a user of a Kyser capo.

Cleaning Brushes

Otsuka Printing Brush Mfg./ Plastic Grey Sujikai

Dust is cleaned by air blowing through a compressor, but this brush is very useful for cleaning under strings and tricky places that cannot be blown away by air, and for cleaning delicate and dangerous parts that can simply be blown away. This is a recommended item used by our field staff. Buy it!

Sound House carries many useful items that can be used as everyday maintenance, so please look for them!
