RESTRING: WITH GARY BRAWER - ACOUSTIC GUITAR

Dunlop Strings is proud to partner with world renowned guitar expert Gary Brawer in the production of our new series RESTRING: WITH GARY BRAWER.

With this knowledge you will be one step closer to reaching your full musical potential.

Gary has been a long time friend of the Dunlop family and also shares his home turf with the organization. For those who aren't aware, Gary has a guitar shop in San Francisco and has been doing set-up an repairs for a multitude of top-shelf guitar players such as Jerry Garcia, Santana, Slash, The Rolling Stones, Metallica, Johnny Winter, Zakk Wylde, Warren Haynes, Jim Dunlop, Muddy Waters, Jeff Beck, Aerosmith... You get the picture.

The detail of pulling the strings against the pins it's so important. I didn't know. Thanks for the great vid, Gary.

All of the music shops are closed right now so this is a life saver!

I'm a synth/piano player but today I purchased an acoustic guitar because part of me has always wanted to learn to play one :)

[diamonddavemusic]

Thanks for showing both methods of finishing the re-stringing at the tuner. I wasn't sure of the best way to do it until now. Thumbs up!

New to actively learning the guitar that has adorned the corner of many a room in our house. Never restrung a guitar in my life and this video has helped me achieve that. Thank you very much from me and my newly refurbished guitar!

Thanks for the video on how to restring an acoustic guitar. I watched your video and restrung my guitar myself.

I'm just getting into guitars, so I am pretty new to this stuff. This video helped me a lot. I just finished restringing and tuning my acoustic guitar. It sounds great now. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

Thanks Gary! I just changed Em string  while watching your video.

[raevyndevereaux]

Thank you for this video. I just used it to change my first guitar string by hand.

[roberthancock]

I usually do the low E, A, D, and G string using the 1st method then I use the locking method on the high E and B

Thanks for doing this video. What was really helpful was showing how the ball end fits in properly, not fitting in at the bottom of the bridge pin.

I've watched a lot of guitar-stringing videos. Found this 11-year-old tutorial especially helpful: clear, calm, easy to follow. Thanks!
