  • That a string trick is bad ass! I love shit like that.

  • I have really really bad string buzz on my B string when i play just about any note, the higher the note the more noticeable, can i raise the action for just the one string? if not, what should i do please?

  • The tuner should be read while the guitar is in playing position. When it is on it's back, gravity pulls the neck back and thus the tension of the strings are higher. That is why his guitar sounded out of tune at the end of the video.

  • This looks so easy! I have some messing around to do when I get home!

  • I adjust my fine tuners pretty far out, not in the middle. They always seem to need tightening, not loosening. Especially with new strings.

    Why dont you use a tremblocker? you can screw of unscrew if you want to use it or not.

    Funny weird face at 5.46 btw..

  • Planning on blocking my floyd with wood and thinking of using bubinga, any thoughts?

  • Don't tune the guitar by adjusting the spring claws under tension to save time.it will be off,the spring tension will not able to adjust to the string tension properly.loosen strings,adjust spring claw,tune it up,check the bridge lvl,repeat this in same order till the guitar is leveled,then tune,floating only,you could stretch strings to save time instead of adjusting claw under tension.i just hold a string up,carrying some weight of guitar and tune it,no stretch needed. thumbs up if this worked

  • They always say the best way to make the fine tuners 50 % is to do one fine tuner all the way down,1 all the way up and level the rest of them in between. I figured a must easier way,Just turn the screws 8 times complete spins.fine tuners have a total of 16 turns. This is the best way if you ask me
