3h before the gig I decide to change the strings on my new tele only to realize it has classicgears and I don't know how to do it. You saved me my friend, thank you so much! ❤❤

Very Useful !

Save 2.5 pegs for each Strings <-This literally solved my two decades of mystery :)
Put it in the slot and wrap once.
For High E sring, wrap twice.


What simple and efficient instruction!

I am sure everyone is here after attempting to put on the E and B strings, lol.

I have always dreaded having to re string my guitar, and this video made it super easy. Thanks!

Great set of instructions! I even managed to get the E & B strings on without too much swearing.

I restrung my vintage-style strat with almost no issues at all thanks to this video, thanks! The tricks for the higher strings helped a lot.

Excellent video! I recently discovered a way to grip the strings better while winding new ones on: on the hand that tensions the string while winding; put a heavy duty disposable Nitrile glove on it, the kind with 3D raised texture grip (sometimes called Diamond Grip). It helps a lot! Not sure in high humidity though. I've also read it's good to put a little Chapstick or similar brand in the nut slots with toothpic & on the small metal string angle guides on the headstock. Helps prevent string binding

Excellent instruction. I put a small crimp at the end of my 3 unwound pure nickel strings.

Thx, on my EC Blackie Strat your tips helped. Not enough winds on the B, I learned with the big bends, the B string went out of tune however, when I did it as you mentioned with the high E, I measured 3 peg lengths with enough wrap, no problem -perfect coming back in tune, so thanks for the details. You’re a pretty smart guy, great demo-great video!

Thank you so much for this video! I have NEVER seen this style of tuner before and I was getting very frustrated! 😁

I recently bought some replacement tuning head for my guitar, but didnt realize they were the vintage style. I had already bought some Kluson style ones, but they were too wide for the hole and i didnt want to bore it out so i bought some more modern looking ones with thenroght diameter, but i overlooked that they were not through-post style, and had to come looking for this video. Not sure why they ever changed from that vintage style, i quite like and prefer them over thru-posts now. I find its alot easier to get really nice clean wraps, and i find they dont slip as much and set faster than the million through post guitars I've restrung over the years

[OneMinuteDevotional]

thanks for the advice, I had never seen this type of tuner before!

[thomassawicki]

Yeah, Thanks for this video !
I could not get the B and top E string to stay in place, kept slipping when I went to wind.
I solved it by jamming a toothpick down the hole to hold the string end in place until I wound it up .

Very nice and thx! I was about to replace these stupid tuners with a sperzel set. Your technique is awesome. The first time without your input it was so difficult and took a lot of time. Now piece of cake.

[IndyRockStar]

thanks for the tutorial. I've learned I'm going to buy locking tuners for it.

For more than 40 years i restring as follows: bend the string at the length of 2, 5 posts at an angle of 90 degrees, after that cut the string 1, 5 cm from the bend. Have the slot of the tuner parallel to the nut, insert the bent part of the string and bend the string slightly towards the nut. Hold the string with the right hand and start winding. After 2 turns shift the windings upwards to the center of the tuner post, whilst still holding the string under light tension. Continue winding until the string is sitting tight in the nut. Tune the string to pitch and pull the string at 12th fret to stretch it. Retune. Thats it! On each tuner you should have 4 full rounds of every string. Even on 008 strings this works! Its easy and looks perfectly clean!

Professional Tip. Only Change One String At A Time. The guitar should have constant truss rod tension to keep it from having to "adjust itself" from tension to none and then back again. It's called tuning stability.
