Finally,,, someone that doesn't recommend the "luthier's knot". I have used the method you are demonstrating for many years and have never had any string slippage. As a gigging musician this is the only way to re-string. That is not an arrogant opinion, it's just fact. Thanks for taking time to make this video.

I've been a guitarist for forty years, and I have always hated changing strings. Such a pain in the butt. Lately I am inclined to stick with guitars equipped with locking tuners to make it easier to change strings. (I mostly play electric.) But I have one acoustic with traditional tuners like those in this video. I really appreciate this video. In fact, I think its's the very best video I've seen showing how to change strings. (There's no editing here, so we see the whole process.) I am now convinced I need to buy an electric tuner-twirler (or whatever they're called) to speed up the process. Great video!

⚓️ Thanks Nolan 😎 I’m not complaining… ⚓️ BUT 😎 oiling the fretboard doesn’t hydrate the board … moisture > water < hydrates guitars. Oiling helps preserve the wood & conserves water content… in addition to keeping the guitar properly humidified. Details in terminology in these training videos is important.

Here is a thought. Why not do one string at a time? My reason is that by releasing all strings at once, a sudden and large tension is released on the neck. Can that cause problems? One string at a time maintains most of the tension, and avoids the sudden tension release.

Wow, the grain on that fretboard is beautiful. I enjoy changing strings on my guitars. I have tried a few different things over the years and I do mine mostly like you did. I cut mine to length exactly like you, but I don't do the over/under wrap. I have done it in the past and I have also just let the string wraps go under on each round. I have never had an issue with strings slipping either way, so I just wind the strings downward because I like how it looks better than the over/under method. Just my preference. I also tune my strings up a half-step initially (E#, A# D#, etc.) and strum some chords for a minute or two. Then I loosen the strings below normal tuning pitch and back up to pitch. That takes care of the stretching. I am going to adopt your method of inserting the strings into the bridge. I've always given the strings a little bend at the ball end, but I think I'll like your way better.

The string wants to approach the peg from the inboard side. This creates the minimum angle where the string goes through the nut, which will create les friction in the nut slot.

I have been changing strings for 60 years and I always work from the outside in or work away from the nut so you have plenty of working room for 1,2,4 and 6. It's easier to string it up if you don't have a string running by the post you are working on. Everything else is spot on. I do make my cut after the string is wound because and old wives tale said the wound strings could unravel if you cut them before you put the bend in them but I have never seen it happen. Great video.

Correct! The over first then under allows the physics to create tension on a string around that post . Also less winds is better for tensile strength, hence two under is sufficient. Too often I see lazy luthiers just wind under the fed in string. Slightly liftigthe strings as you have done is sufficient, then re-tune up to pitch. Beautiful guitar BTW. ( Terry from Oz).

My brother invented that Ernie Ball electric pegwinder, at his store back in the early '70s, in Tallahassee, when he cut up a plastic manual string winder, and attached it to one of the drills he used to make guitar cabinets with. I have been playing 60+ years ... I just use 0000 steel wool to polish frets and clean the board. Does no harm at all to the wood, especially since lemon oil or some Watco will dress that wood nicely. Back in the early '60s, Fender recommended using 3-IN-1 oil on their boards. Steel wool takes a lot of dirt and grime off the board, by the way. Try a set of heavy electrics on your acoustic ... man, I bucked that idea for years and was knocked out when I finally gave in to it! When you install the wound strings, do not cut them off. Run them through whole, keeping a post-and-a-half for winding straight down the post. Bend the excess toward the middle of the headstock (thus forming an "S"), and wind the string down the post like a coil. With the plain strings, double top the through-string and wind down the post. Now, bend each string back and forth until it breaks off, leaving NO little stickers to nail your fingers and decorate your guitar with that red stuff! If you don't double wrap on top of that through-string, your string will slip when you break off the plain strings. Makes for a clean, tight wind on the post with no need for clippers. Change your strings regularly and you most likely will not break them. But we all have our technique, so whatever works best for you! God bless for helping people!

Some tend to do that (i.e., alternate from side to side. I've also known folk who do not do that. I was a drummer in a regionally successful southern band in the mid to late 60's. The lead guitarist actually changed one string at a time. His reasoning was that the guitar got used to a certain tension and it (in his opinion) stressed the guitar to take all the strings off at once [please know that I have never known anyone else to go to this extreme and I am not at all sure that his "stress theory" would stand up in court - but that's the way he did it] -- and he changed strings every night - sometimes twice a night during a four-hour gig - that would, of course, be with beer bottles flying. Anyway, the bottom line is it depends on who you talk to as to whether they alternate strings or not. I've known techs - some of who do it; others who just get 'em off zip, zip, zip.

This is indeed the best method for winding strings on a steel string guitar. Tying a knot is fine, until you have to untie it! The over and under wrap is a sweet spot compromise between putting a knot, and winding it straight down. Now to see your tutorial for restringing a classical guitar…

This is a good method as it covers the bridge end, the tuner end, and stretching the strings. The one difference I recommend is replacing the strings one at a time so that the guitar never goes completely untensioned. That is, remove the 6th, low E string; replace it; and move on to the 5th, the fourth, etc.. As far as the winder goes, a cheap battery powered drill will do the job just fine, and many folks already have these in the house. (They've been around almost as long as small electric motors.) You buy a plastic sleeve that fits the tuner knob and fits into the drill.

Certainly some good tips however, I was told by a Luthier not to release the tension on more than 2 strings at a time to change strings in a hurry. Releasing all the tension at once may cause the neck to Knot, was the meaning I took from it, if not the exact word he used. When dressing the fretboard, slowly loosen the strings over time to remove all the strings. It made sense to me whether he was correct or not? Maybe I should watch more videos to determine the general consensus on this practice. He said one should clean and polish the neck 2-3 times a year so maybe he just showed the condensed version? Always willing to integrate new ideas if they concur with industry standards but, willing to devote the added time to my instruments if needed.

i only replace 1 string at a time and never used power tools as i want to slowly release as little tension as possible. 🍻

Also I was told to stretch the string past the nut with your finger buy pushing down on the string. Do you think this is necessary?

Removing all the strings at once releases all the tension on the neck at once and can cause the neck to warp. Also removing the bridge pins with wire cutters can damage those as well. You should remove one string at a time to keep the tension on the neck to prevent warping and use a plastic bridge pin remover to prevent any damage to those.

Just to be on the safe side, I'd go one string at a time, too. There'a a heck of a lot of tension in there and I've seen it firsthand. I've had 2 guitar headstcocks snap in my lifetime.

🤔 I don't think that is necessarily true that the neck will warp , I've owned over sixty acoustics and never once did the neck warp as I properly cleaned the frets fretboard and headstock whilst the strings were off for about an hour or so , i've even left them off over night on occasion; bring the tension down and also up evenly and carefully 😳

Naaaahhh.... No warping of necks. You're WAY overestimating the tension in a guitar neck. Been playing a plethora of acoustics and electrics for 53 years and take off all the strings and clean the guitar before restringing. Everything goes right back to normal. The ONLY time your theory might make some sense is if you're restringing a floating trem strat or something and that's just to get things exactly where you left them. Also.. He's hardly releasing the tension "all at once" . He's tuning down one string at a time and the truss rod tension moves accordingly. I think you've thought about this a tad too much and have created a scenario in your head that doesn't really exist.

This is amazing. I’ve never changed my own strings because of being to nervous and the Martin or crimped method looked a bit difficult. Your way here is the best. Thanks for making this video. I can’t wait to change them again….and again. Lol

I changed the strings to a really light string and changed the bridge pins and the nut and saddle to bone. Had to fit the nut and saddle by hand and very gentle sanding using a caliper gage. But the resulting sound after setting it up was a lot better. More sustain and deeper lows. A significant improvement in the sound on a not so expensive guitar. I only wish I could buy a Gibson. Only in my dreams, or a Martin. But I love acoustic guitar and the sound!!!!!

Yamaha makes some great sounding guitars at a third of the price of a Gibson or Martin. Check out their LL6. It is all solid wood great sounding guitar that rivals any Gibson or Martin
