Re: Stringing a guitar

Re: Stringing a guitar That's one more than 6. lol It's not a competition, of course, but your time should be similar. I'd actually be curious to know how fast I could do it.. I should time myself for fun next time. Not counting full tuning of course, just enough to make s

Re: Stringing a guitar

Re: Stringing a guitar Yeah.  I'm probably about 7-10 minutes with my guitar without locking tuners.   Although I do have a 7 string. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/461312/#p461312 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com

Re: Stringing a guitar

Re: Stringing a guitar All it takes is practice. I have a similar design for my guitar as well as locking tuners, and I can do a string change in about five minutes, if not less if I actually try and do it fast. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/460601/#p460601 -- Audiogames

Re: Stringing a guitar

Re: Stringing a guitar Strings are firm enough they will slip through to the other side.     I used to have a guitar that did that.  One annoyying thing about it though, was that after slipping the strings through, they were designed to go straight through the saddles.  Ugh that was a

Re: Stringing a guitar

Re: Stringing a guitar My brother's one electric had holes just past the bridge but that went all the way through the body. I'm not sure how that worked, I know the ball on the end of each string is keeping it in there, but I would think it would be sort of difficult to thread e

Re: Stringing a guitar

Re: Stringing a guitar For the record, that depends on the type of trem on the electric... what G-Rad has described is for guitars with what are known as floating tremolo bridges, not the standard fender or gibson designs. Definitely more detailed than the instructions I wrote above

Re: Stringing a guitar

Re: Stringing a guitar how to re-string a guitar:For acoustic guitars,1.Set the guitar down on  a table or in your lap with the sound hole facing up.  The sound hole is the large circular hole in the center of the body of the guitar.  Have the neck (fret board) in the direction you would

Re: Stringing a guitar

Re: Stringing a guitar Yeah I've never seen that setup. I don't really play guitar, I had one once though. Actually giving it to my brother kickstarted his interest in it and he's been playing for what, 13 or so years now. Best thing I could have done with

Re: Stringing a guitar

Re: Stringing a guitar You don't tie strings together. lol You tie off the ends around the bridge, and again, that is only with classical guitars, doable because of nylon strings and not steel ones. If you ever look at a nylon string, you'l notice that it's just a length of

Re: Stringing a guitar

Re: Stringing a guitar I've only ever done it with an acoustic, and not seen the tied together strings. Each string had a hole just past the bridge. You put the string through and then put the peg through so it couldn't slip out. It takes maybe 45 seconds to change one string. No

Re: Stringing a guitar

Re: Stringing a guitar Depending on the electric you have, the process is different depending on the bridge you have. And if anyone wants an easier time changing strings, I highly suggest swapping out stock tuners for a pair of locking ones, whether that be on acoustic or electric. Unless

Re: Stringing a guitar

Re: Stringing a guitar @Assault, thank you that was very informative. My electric needs to be strung, I will try to string the guitar myself. I just don't want to buy a pack and somehow mess It up and then put out more money. I've seen people string guitars, it looks strait for

Re: Stringing a guitar

Re: Stringing a guitar Get used to getting it strung for you and you will never learn. I'm also in that camp. Why wait for them to take a day to string it when I could learn to do it painsteakingly until now when I can do it in about five minutes? And as for gigging, yes, you could

Re: Stringing a guitar

Re: Stringing a guitar @Ironcross, you've never heard of having a backup guitar? At some gigs, you have a limited time to play, the clubs  don't hold up while your repairing. All gigs aren't that way, but you need to be prepared for something like that. Sometimes it'

Re: Stringing a guitar

Re: Stringing a guitar Getting started again though, if you need help to get off the ground, I see no problem with this.Besides, if you're gigging and you're not just solo, it's possible someone else in your band is able/willing to help you restring a guitar if you bust so

Re: Stringing a guitar

Re: Stringing a guitar They will string a guitar for you? What is the point in that, if you play, you should be able to restring yourself. You can't say, be playing a gig and snap a string and be like hang on while I get the guitar shop to fix this up. URL: https://forum.audiogame

Re: Stringing a guitar

Re: Stringing a guitar I could never tie the strings properly, my fingers are too big. If you have a guitar store near you, you should go there, they can get it done in a day or so, depending on the kind of business they're getting. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/460117/#p4

Re: Stringing a guitar

Re: Stringing a guitar Can you provide any info on what the bridge of your guitar looks like? (The place where the strings meet the body.) The process varies depending on the design, so knowing that would help. It'll probably be one of three designs:  For steel-string acoustics,

Re: Stringing a guitar

Re: Stringing a guitar I would do it the other way first, put the other end of the string in the hole right past the bridge, then thread the other end through the correct peg on the neck and start turning. If you have one of those thingies that goes around the knob and lets you wind it

Re: Stringing a guitar

Re: Stringing a guitar I often had to do it. all i can suggest you to do is remove the string from the guitar, and see how they did it. the top part where you turn the string to tune it, is quite easy: you just have to put 1 end of the string in the hole, hold it while you give it say 5

Stringing a guitar

Stringing a guitar Has anybody found any online resources that are good at explaining how to do this? I'm slowly getting back into the acoustic guitar scene and desperately need new strings. I haven't the slightest clue as to how to string one, so any help would be great.
