How To Restring Guitars With A Stop-Bar Tailpiece

[6pwner]

how much slack do u need to rewind the strings?

[TimeFlies1995]

@6pwner Roughly 2 inches should do it to get 3 to 4 wraps around the post. This also helps with avoiding the high e string snapping when u tune up.

How come my strings dont wrap around the tuners 360 degrees but much less

[cexo123]

Use este metodo y como que queda un poco floja la cuerda del lado donde le das vuelta... El resultado: Se safo la primera cuerda, y como ya le habia cortado el exceso ya no pude salvar la cuerda... me invade la tristeza y el odio XD. Aunque bueno creo que omitire el paso ese donde pasa la cuerda por arriba despues de darle la vuelta por atras. Y si como dice el comentario sc12100, si necesitas dar mas vueltas a la cuerda si vas a usar afinaciones graves, este metodo sirve para afinacion estandar

this helped me so much, thanks!!

Why take all the strings off? I thought you were to do one string at a time so you don't mess up the neck. I like to have the string wrapped at least three times around the peg.

@tubbkidd that's a myth

My thin e string keeps snapping out when i bring it to pitch!!! I have an unsymmetrical headstock and this is getting frustrating!!! PLEASE HELP!

[mpcking]

Dope!!!!!

[GibsonLPCFreak91]

whats that for a les paul?

great video:)

[sc12100]

Something this guy did WRONG was that he tightened the string before he tuned the guitar.

You really should adjust the length of the string to the next tuner up the headstock, and then tighten. You should have between 2 - 3 coils on the E - D strings and 4 - 6 coils on the G - e string.

The reason why is when it comes to different tuning setups on your guitar. If you use this guys method, you gonna have trouble dropping your tune past 1 step without the strings coming undone.

[OMMIAMSalvation]

@sc12100 obviously, this man doesn't drop-tune. lol.

[sc12100]

@OMMIAMSalvation Yeah, you think that a guy who works for a guitar string manufacturer - and especially a spokesman - would have common knowledge on how to properly string a guitar.

Im surprised he didn't just tie knots and then tighten.

thanks!

Few questions, how many times does it have to loop around the post?

And my tail piece thing is "burning" out my A-String, how can I fix that? Thanks

[pskptbrk1]

he smile's so scary :(

[Davide888]

Very useful. Thank you.

I just restringed my Cherry Sunburst LesPaul, witha set of D Addario 9 gauge Nicklewound strings. I just learned I have been stringing it wrong the entire time. It sounds better than when I bought it. Awesome tutorial.

[bubbapoiu]

see mines like dat but no bar like the on on da very end just that one bar i have a cort mrs how do i string mi guitar

[L2112Lif]

I don't think I've ever removed all of the strings on any of my guitars at the same time... And I doubt I will.

[ItsA6StringThing]

My strings don't even wind all the way around the peg. I'm using an SG with Jazz Mediums tuned to Baritone tuning.

[ecsentrik]

someone please tell me the colour/model of this guitar!!

[TheMagnumGuitar]

on my high e string i only have 2 times around the tuner ...

is it okey or is it gonna break???

[koolaidolio]

its fine

[dvkerner96]

@TheMagnumGuitar im not a pro guitar fixer but i think that if its only wound twice it'll break. i"ve had a similar experience with my guitars and the string broke. but that was with a stratocaster so if you dont have that same guitar then im not sure. i hope that helps

[TheMagnumGuitar]

@dvkerner96 i have an ibanez (with locking tremolo)

and he's still standing on my guitar :D

[dvkerner96]

@TheMagnumGuitar ok =) well good luck with your guitar =)

[superpeter2009]

you gotta go to guitar center and ask for strings and the knobs that go at the end... theyll understand wat your talking about...

NEWB!!!!

[rottingmeat3000]

when you get the strings do they already have the knot that goes in the stop bar ?

[rommy97]

yes they do the knots made of metal

[AlexGuitar8]

Holy crap, I have to get me one of those! Would save an ass load of time.

[Animatronica]

They do! I own a couple of them myself, very useful when I'm on duty working as a tech with bands.
