  • I had a classical guitar back in the early 80s. I just bought a Takamine classical with solid spruce top and rosewood body. If i remember right, the strings i used had a loop on the end so they didnt need tieing. And the bass strings were bronze. Do they make a phosphor bronze string? I like the warm sound of those strings. Dont care for 80/20 brass. Thanks

  • amazing video sir

  • i don't know how to play it and yet i fixed it thank you very much 

  • thanks

  • You should fix the 15th fret.

  • @MrSnowman1996 that ball goes in the top side so you dont need to do tiding,and in the bridge you do the same as he did...sry for my bad english.,..

  • @taxisteve929 tie...not die

  • Just started watching from 718 and in a guitar maintenance book I have where several luthiers and classical guitar musicians were interviewed, they state that the pliable end should be cut off, and a common error is to use that to die, but it will be weaker. It is just something that happens in the production, and should not be used. Any thoughts??

  • Page 1 - Item#1 on "Guitar Care and Maintenance Handout" ....Do not hang guitar on wall for 20 years......(BG) just kidding...great video!!

  • @MrSnowman1996 go and get a classical guitar string. read the uploader's top comment.
