OMG
its proving hard to restring my new Ibanez. I've got through two top strings in the process . no doubt that I will get the hang of it eventually.
actually its not quite as fiddly as restringing my classical which requires us to tie knots at the bridge but it still quite a challenge for someome whose used to a strat.
thankfully you tube comes up with the goods. this was particularly good
I have a Fender Strat with a Kahler flying tremelo. Unless its really dirty, I'll change the strings one at a time starting with the low E string. Its a bear to get in tune once all the strings are changed but here's my technique. Tune the Low E to Pitch. Then tune the A and go back to the E and retune it then the A again before going on to D. Once D is in tune, then retune the E and the A and the D then tune the G. Repeat this pattern until done. Once my strings are properly stretched (1 day or so) it almost never goes out of tune. I use the tremelo rarely, but even when I do, the guitar is almost always reliably in tune.
Hi John,
