Vintage Fender Amps and Guitars (Poor Man's 3 prong plug)

More tips on how to make your two prong vintage plugs safe without changing the chord to 3 prong. It's easily done with wire and connectors from Radio Shack. Follow the video as a visual instruction because I explain it incorrectly. I put an alligator clip on the end that hooks to the amp chassis. Works great. Plus I talk about the best strings and string cleaner, the Blitz cloth, http://www.blitzinc.net/product/301/Blitz-String-Care-Cloth.html

@SuperGuitarpractice Since this vid, I figured out how simple it was to replace a 2 prong with a 3 prong cord. Don't read the internet or you will get confused. Just put the white wire where the old white wire was, same for the black, and put the green ground wire on the power transformer mounting bolt with a ground washer and nut and your done. If you are playing multiple amps, you only need one of the amps with a 3 prong plug otherwise you may fight some ground looping problems

Caution to all, capacitors retain electrical power even with the amp unplugged--these need to be discharged before you mess with them. I like the idea of those Blitz rags--I've always used rags with Lemon oil and the last until the fabric starts to shred (many many years), and a bottle of Lemon Oil lasts a long time too--use sparingly, you don't want it soggy.
