hii i have a question well yesterday i watched your videos about guitar adjustment trustroad guitar height and intonattion but when i just purchased my strat i changed the strings to 10s and happend what you sid about the tremolo amm if i ajust it with the screws will mi intonation and action stuff be modified or screwed??

[rockguitarpower]

they won't be screwed but you should go through and re-adjust them for the new string size.

[ATOMICPUNK27]

can you use plain lemon juice on the rosewood fretboard?

[rockguitarpower]

Don't use lemon juice, lemon oil is what you want to use if you don't have an oil specifically made for fretboards

[mike2tone]

I was told not to take all the strings off at the same time cause it will affect the fretboard tension, therfore truss rod adjusment was needed, is there any truth on that????

@mike2tone You will need ot adjust the truss rod probably, but when I ladt did it it didn't change much. However, all the myths and lies about taking them all of and ruining your neck aren't true. If you ever watch video of factory tours, see pictures, or go to one you'll notice they all have a point where they don't have strings on them but have a neck. So obviously nothing happens by taking them all of at once but making it need a truss rod adjustment.

Also it's easy to adjust the truss.

hi mate, i know this is quite an old video, but i would love your help. i stumbled over this vid two days ago. today i bought a guitar with a rosewood fretboard and remember something about rosewood on this vid. thing is, my fretboard has kinda pearly things indicating frets 3,5,7 etc. will this lemon stuff damage it?

[JSwanny1030]

have this style bridge yet my strings refuse to come out. wtf do i do?

[SuperGrammers]

If you're honestly worried about the neck shifting while you clean your fretboard you can just adjust it back to taste once the strings are back on and at pitch. It's really not a big deal when you have the required tools.

Well, we live and learn. The main chemical components of lemon oil are a-pinene, camphene, b-pinene, sabinene, myrcene, a-terpinene, linalool, b-bisabolene, limonene, trans-a-bergamotene, nerol and neral.

[guitgeo]

Supergrammas pointed out it does contain a tiny amount of limonene which is, in fact, a solvent. Good for cleaning that fretboard but should be removed as with any soap or solvent. But that's not the issue is it? Leaving strings off your guitar for extended periods will cause a backward bow is the issue and the truth

[SuperGrammers]

Too funny. It's good that you believe in yourself, guitgeo, keep on instructing "the truth".

Lemon oil is not that great for fingerboards btw, it contains d-limonene which is a solvent which can (over time) soften lacquers, bindings, fret markers etc.
