Tomo Fujita Guitar Wisdom

Hi Mr. Fujita,

I write again with another question.

I saw you mention in the forum that you take care of your guitars and amps yourself.

I would very much like to learn how to maintain and improve my gear as well
.
Do you have any recommendation of a YouTube channel or a website showing how to properly maintain our gear?
Things like:
- fretting a guitar
- adjusting action height and pitch
- how to change parts and why
- take proper care of an amp and fix/ change parts

I would be very grateful for any recommendation.
It could also be an idea for a few videos on your website or YouTube.
This can be a big money saver for some of us too.

Thank you for you future reply.

Jimmy

Here is Tomo's comment:

"Thanks so much for subscribing to my Guitar Wisdom. My main guitars were made by Kanji Kawabata. I see him once every year, and he checks out/maintains my Kanji guitars. I set up all my other guitars, but I do not change frets.

"I have posted a few guitar maintenance videos on my YouTube channel. You can also search on YouTube for maintenance videos by StewMac. The main things for guitar players to learn are (1) how to set the neck angle, (2) how to set string height, (3) how to set the intonation, and (4) how to set the pickup height.

"I do not maintain my amps, except that I change tubes when I need to. My friend Colin Sapp at Berklee takes care of my amp repairs and other maintenance. He has the necessary knowledge and pays close attention to detail."

Thank you so much for the detailed answer. I hope it helps others as well :)

You're very welcome! Thank you!
