  • Hi John. You mention your book. Where do I get it?

  • @Ron1954able The book title is Alfred's Teach Yourself Guitar Repair & Maintenance. Amazon has it for 9.95. Let us know what you think of it!

  • I just wanted to say this video was a huge help and I'm recommending it to anyone who has trouble changing strings. So thanks.

  • @Krono45 Thanks! Appreciate that.

  • Broke my low E string while trying repeatedly to get the right amount of slack. There's $7 wasted.

  • @ADAP7IVE Our customer service team would like to help you with that. Please email elixirstrings@wlgore.com, or call 800-367-5533. (Phone 8-5 ET)

I follow every step each restring now and my strats stay very much in-tune. John, you rock. I wish you were my neighbor! I'm sure you are glad I am not. hehehe! CHEERS!
