Finishing up some repair work on this Gibson SG Classic as my first project in the new shop. This guitar has had a complete fret dress, electronics shielding, some minor repairs to the factory wiring, new bone nut and set-up (D'Addario .010" - .046"). As part of the set-up I also corrected the string spacing at the bridge.
The guitar has a 50's style neck and details on the specs can be found in my Reverb shop. This guitar has SOLD.

So did you like any of those more than the Stew Mac or Dunlop?

The Jescar product was my favorite of the three. Would probably be my “go to” from now on. Their normal polish is nice too.

Come on man, I think everybody who knows their ass from a hole in the ground should agree that installing a strap-lok style strap button there on the neck joint where the original one goes on the SG Classic, should add support to said neck tennon.. But unless I'm very, very much mistaken. I'd put money down in saying that having your strap button come off is almost never gonna cause the whole neck to snap off.. I have an SG Classic myself, I got it brand new in 2008 & for a short period of time I played it whilst having both strap buttons removed (I was waiting for a set of strap-loks to put on it) & at no point did I even consider that anything might even come apart because of it, let alone anything snap off. Sorry for the wordy comment.. Subbed btw, nice vid.

Thanks for the comment. I would agree the whole neck snapping of is unlikely but I have had to glue neck back onto SG’s. It’s a small mortise and tenon joint even before routing the neck pickup cavity. Personally I think any Gibson guitar should have strap locks because of the headstocks but, I was probably thinking back to the broken off necks I’ve fixed a few times as I was talking. 👍

The other thing that comes to mind is assumptions. Often times when I assume something is a certain way or people will know to do something I’m often surprised. A couple of decades ago I sold guitars in a store and would always encourage a buyer to get strap locks for a Gibson. Sometimes they thought I was just trying to upsell them and sometimes they brought it back because it had a broken headstock. One in particular happened on Christmas Day, the first time the recipient of a Les Paul Studio stood up with the guitar and had it on the strap. It quickly fell off the strap, and broke the headstock. Then, they spent way more money getting it fixed than the $20 strap locks would have cost them.
