I always put the bridge pins in the same order they came out is that a bad thing
Ooh what are those silver things on his nails??
Lubed nuts
It’s time to change the strings on my guitar again. Good thing I remembered that there is this video ???? – will watch it again to prepare.
Great video for us beginners, thanks.
Couple of thoughts: after using the “nut lube” and applicator, seems to me if one doesn’t have the applicator a pointed tooth pick would make a good alternative.
Also, I’m sure you knew a long time ago, I believe your coffee has gone cold.
Thanks for that!
your pensive, bridled smirk regarding all the guitar jargon was hilarious.
I’ve been playing for more than 20 years and first time I’ve seen this restring method. Loved this video and the east coast guitar looks great!!
forgot to lubricate the tuners… use Triflow (from yr local bike shop), also good for nuts
for 'fretboard conditioning', go to your local art shop & buy their smallest bottle of Refined Linseed Oil, it'll last you alifetime
great vid solid info and nice chill presentation. is there an andertons podcast or any kind of stream where some of the guys just chat informally about guitars, music or anything really, its always fun to hear what different guitarists/musicians think
Very helpful video. I especially liked the hint about cutting the new strings at about 1,5 tuner distance length ❤
You can push the pins out by reaching through the hole.
If the bridge pins are stuck it's easy just to reach your hand through the sound hole and push them up from the bottom.
Last time I changed my strings, for the bridge pins the string winder didn't work (like yours), but I found I could push them out from below by reaching into the sound-hole. That probably won't work for everyone (or for every guitar), but it eliminates the risk of damaging the pins.
Did you forget to put lemon oil on your bridge or is it because that should not be done? I oil mine occasionally, I hope I'm not making a mistake by doing that.
Excellent presentation of an often neglected chore that's scary for many beginners.
Lol I never comment but had to..
And first comment was about not cutting strings.. Haha
When the " winder tool" u-shape for loosening pegs didn't work (as it should not be really before you cut strings and push down the ends..) and he took the cutters I was thinking.. Ok good. That's the way to do….." It? What"..
Lol. You use that tool you "tool" to cut the strings.. Then push down the ends with "ball end" wedged fast if you strung your guitar correctly in the first place.. Then you pick out the pegs with your finger. Worked for 40 years without problem..
Was curious to see if there were tips in the video I have missed because of whom posted it.. But after that first "blunder" I stopped it..
Maybe categorise it as "good try. Better luck next time" ????
ben’s got nice nails
Yes, but DO NOT TAKE THE SADDLE Out unless you first mark which way round it goes. I write B and T underneath with a pencil!
Nice ????
Tips – If wanting to play lead guitar and string bending on an acoustic choose a guitar with lower scale length – such as some PRS SE acoustics or Cort SFX models which have 25.3 inch scale length. Another advantage of light gauge strings is that there is less stress on the guitar top. The guitar might last longer because less risk of the top bellowing or lifting up causing high action and making neck reset necessary (probably cheaper to buy a new guitar if that happens).
I always put the low e and then the high e then the a and then the B Etc don't ask me why I just always done it that way kind of balances it out when you're putting your strings back on
Great vid – as always. But I was always taught and still advocate that, unless you're intending to work on your fretboard, change one string at a time. It causes less stress to the guitar and, if you take your time (spend as long as you can on each one) to fully stretch them, they will stay in tune better and – even more crucially – not break. Does it work??? I haven't broken a string since 1990. Not one. And that includes my electrics too.
what about sanding the saddle?
You don't set your intonation or action?
Bridge pin…I go through the hole with a little piece of soft wood warped in paper. Then I gently push them a little bit out until I can grab them with the fingers
"I like to use Big Ben's Nut Sauce," I bet you do, big man. I bet you do.
Nothing to change a rather dire, green colour? 🙂
