My telecaster has standard vintage style tuners on it and I've changed strings inbetween songs in a set without even taking the guitar off.


What guage strings are you using?

i've always used tens. i had it setup at a local shop for tens about 5 months ago.

at that shop they string it by just putting it through, leave some slack, push down near the nut, and turn.

but ive heard theres a better way to do that. No one has ever showed me how to string.

Rainer, are you still going to put up that video?

I tried last night a few times but my connection kept not agreeing with me. I think I might have to try again this weekend when I find a better internet connection...

I think if I work fast, though, I can get through one string in two minutes, fully tuned up and stretched. That means a 12 minute set... not bad.

how do people do it on stage then?

Usually you only break one string on stage.... thus, you only need to replace one..... rather than all six.

Then again, I can't remember the last time I broke a string....
