Roger in Baltimore The Best Way to String A Guitar? (44) RE: The Best Way to String A Guitar? 02 Sep 99


Yeah, any opinions?

I'm stupid enough to listen even if you aren't an expert. You just need an opinion. I don't do all that stuff Neil talks about. But my luthier did on my last repair. D'ya think he knows something?

While we're on this, I have a related question. Do you take one string off at a time and replace it and then go on to the next one? Or can you take several off at a time? I saw a friend of mine once take all six off his guitar and just start over. I'm told him it was wrong. He told me I was wrong.

I heard that alters the tension too greatly on the guitar and over the long run can warp the guitar out of shape. I've always done it one at a time because that is how I was taught (and I don't know who or what taught me).
