These are the implements I employ when guitars are due for user maintenance:- Planet Waves Headstand: That tripod object you see above, is a neck supporter, useful for guitars with angled headstock when I lay it down for re-stringing.
- Wire cutter: I feel that whatever string cutter there are in the market are simply too flimsy for effective results. The standard wire cutter here snips excess string length very easily.
- Vaseline: To lubricate the nut slots. Graphite works equally well but it stains light coloured headstock/ fretboard hence my preference for jelly.
- Tremlok: This contraption is a wedge for Floyd-type, dual action, whammy bridges. It's inserted under the bridge end to prevent it from collapsing into the cavity during string removal. Bought it way back in 1991 together with my first guitar, have not seen it in the market for years, might be discontinued altogether.
Elmo doesn't help with anything...
