how to fit a string butler on an acoustic guitar and different versions explained

[@zimbalist]

Thank you!! Great vid! It’s ASMR hearing your soft voice explaining guitar tech stuff.

[@guitar-academy]

Thank you . . You’re welcome 😊 (I had to look that up ASMR) 😂🤣😂

[@larrystiner6576]

You answered my question thanks 😁

[@guitar-academy]

No problem 😊

Wish they made these for ESP Jackson and Gibson 6 in a line headstocks. I wish they made a version of them them for Lág headstocks as well

[@Jack.Waters]

Always nicely presented. Well done..

[@guitar-academy]

Thank you . . .🙂🙂 I was worried this one was going to be rubbish. I've had issues with my computer and sound card . .

[@Jack.Waters]

@@guitar-academy Didn't notice any media glitches. No video drops nor Audio fades. Smooth as always!

[@guitar-academy]

@@Jack.Waters That's brilliant . . thanks for that 🙂

I've seen using the string butler for a couple of years now (v3) and my epiphone stays in tune all the time. Sometimes it just needs a little nudge of a tune, but over all I can just pick up my guitar and not tune it, just play.

[@guitar-academy]

It's nice to pick a guitar up and just play it without a tuning ritual every time . . 🙂

Legendary video

[@guitar-academy]

thanks 😃

Ever since watching this video I literally feel compelled to refer to this product as a “String Boo-tla”.

[@guitar-academy]

🤔

[@icecreamforcrowhurst]

@@guitar-academyI know. It must be my ocd flaring up.

[@guitar-academy]

@@icecreamforcrowhurstLOL 😂🤣

Hi please cover Vintage Head stock with keystone buttons with string butler

[@guitar-academy]

I'll put that on my 'to do' list 😊

[@RahulSharma-ry2pg]

@@guitar-academy Thanks a lot you are very kind ..... I did some research and come to know that String Butler V1 (New that came out) will be the solution that will work. V1 replaces the Truss Rod cover and should work ...i have taken measurements. Thanks again for your time and replying back much appreciated thanks

[@guitar-academy]

@@RahulSharma-ry2pg I know that the size is correct, but watch out for the bushes on the tuner posts. On very old guitars these are just pushed into the holes meaning you have to screw the SB to the headstock with screws. But on newer vintage tuners the bushes are also bolts that will hold SB in place the same way the one is held in place in this video. 😊

[@RahulSharma-ry2pg]

@@guitar-academy Thanks again… don’t have bolts … its Epiphone Masterbuild Frontier … Love the sound of the guitar only issue is after week or two won’t stay up n tune I hope this will fix it

[@50-50Project]

Is there a string butler for tuners that do not have a nut?

[@guitar-academy]

As far as I no they don't, but they keep coming out with new models. Best to check the site www.string-butler.com/

[@mr.timebombman2230]

Looks better turned the other way

[@guitar-academy]

Yes, I agree. But with some guitars you can't fit it the other way because the truss rod cover gets in the way. 😊

[@michaelanzelino5068]

Version 2 would not have fit your guitar. You showed this example in the video from 3:01 to 3:08.

[@guitar-academy]

Yes that's correct, the version 2 is wider between the mounting points
