Everyone that thinks this is correct; do yourselves a favor and look up alternate sources for restringing. You do not thread the string in between wraps.

how should it be done and why?

you've figured a way that works better for your tech'ing purposes?

would be interested to see.

Thanks for the videos. I've been playing for eight years but I never thought of the tricks you use to change strings. Very helpful. :)

[Ethaninja]

Why are you watching them then?

[LesterLugnut]

As others have said...the best and easiest approach to changing stratocaster strings. Have tried other techniques and in all cases...the strings slip. With Steve Bs approach...the stringsstay secured and do not fall out of tune.

This is the very best video I've seen on this subject. Thanks for posting Steve!

@20000564 sounds like you put on higher-tension strings, so you need to add one or more springs in the rear cavity to pull the bridge back into place. You might also want to check the neck relief and possibly tighten the truss rod.

I've tried many different methods over the years and this is the best one I've found. It is clean, fast and efficient. Absolutely no tuning stability issues whatsoever for me. Thanks Steve!

i just bought a standard stratocaster that uses a normal tremolo. never used one before. when i restrung it for the first time, the strings pulled the bridge up quite a bit, so dive bombs are barely usable. how do i adjust this (when i restring it)???????

[fixxxer602]

not really.. more string around post = more chance for slippage

[alonzo62290]

he should leave more slack before winding the tuning peg

[TurTurex]

thx a lot guys!

i've been playing a guitar for almost 4 years now and i've changed a lot of strings in my life. I've been using Justin Sandercoe guitar strings changing style and it was just perfect! (check his videos for seeing this style). And I wanted to do you guys a favor and try this way of guitar strings changing. OH MY GOD, WHAT A CRAP! Strings cant stay in tune right now and a whole set of brand new Ernie Balls can go to trash! Too less wraps are just a shit!
