Product placement

Fender Stratocaster: This is the guitar being restrung. Removing it would change the video. It acts as the subject of the tutorial. VOX: A VOX logo appears on a pedal case. It merely appears and does not affect the video. Not sponsored (with broken heart icon): This is a graphic overlay. It merely appears and does not affect the video.
