How To Stretch Guitar Strings - Billy Penn 300guitars.com

Here is a video of the method I like to use to stretch brand new guitar strings. This really helps to keep a new set in tune. Do not use too much tension and tune after you stretch the strings each time. Feel free to contact me with any questions. http://www.300guitars.com/

Hi!! Hey man, and whats come on whit the guitars whit Floyd Rose? Is this method good for them? Thanx

[300guitars]

@illustrisimus You can use this method on guitars with the Floyd Rose system. Just be careful with the plain strings, especially the high E string. -Billy

No way am I doing this again. I snapped my high E string.

@eastsidesteve You are using too much tension. The plain strings do not need a lot of tension like the wound strings. -Billy

any less painful methods, like some sort of tool I can use? I use this method and it works, but if I stretch all strings decently in one sitting, my fingers end up feeling battered

Thank you so much!!!

[suki29168]

thanks man :) just afraid to like do it to much XD

I tried this and had no problems at all, I actually think it made my guitar stay in tune quicker than my previous method of chromatically fingering the neck and pulling up at neck pup end. Thanks nice tip and great videos all around, your a great player Billy

Thanks - I did this on my Taylor T3B and it helps a lot. I have 4 Taylor guitars and this is the only one that will not stay in tune. I used your method and some graphite on the nut and now the problem is fixed. Thanks again.
