Whenever any noob asks about why they are having problems with klusons. give them this video please.

Hurb, I salute you.

Woah. I've never noticed the strings coming unwound before but they're doing it on my jag looking at it.

Yeah, I never snap a string, but I did start noticing them unwinding and when I was using the trem (harshly) thats when I would get them unwinding and I would loose the string. I had thought about solder for a while...and then I came across someone suggesting it online somewhere and I tried it. it has been very successful so far. worth a try if you are having problems, if not don't bother.

It's overdue for a string change anyway so it might just be the length of time they've been on there, not had any problem with it yet though.

Quite possibly, It's something I do so I included it. but I am probably an extreme case because of my trem usage. if your strings aren't snapping and you have no tuning issues then there isn't much point in doing it.

Very cool.

haha, come to think of it we could do tutorials for stringing up all types of guitars with different bridges, different tuners


what i don't understand, though, is that when you buy a guitar as a noob, but it has strings on it, at one point you're gonna change the strings, but you have an example how the strings should go on right ? because there were strings on there in the first place... i don't get it.

I agree, I'm sure I was slightly perplexed at the tuners first time I saw them...but I has no internets or people to ask when I first came across them..so I must of just figured it out myself. everything in that video is stuff I have learned myself...I didn't learn it from anyone else. so I wonder why other people find it so hard. but then again I still find basic English grammar hard to get right. so we all have our strengths and weaknesses. just thank fuck for firefox spell checker.

I remember the last time I strung up my Mustang I forgot how to. The last time being at the first Doogfest.

Excellent.

Sticky worthy for the noobulicious crowd.

I remember looking at you like.. WTF.

I have moments of just forgetting everything. I'm really good at doing it.

I forget words all the time and I try to describe them. Like I'll forget chair and manically start saying thing you sit on.

I made it wrong the last 15 years. I prefer to have a little more string wound around the tuner, so a string can be repaired when it breaks somewhere near the bridge.

Nice one! This drove me mental recently as i'd never had a guitar with vintage tuners before! The high E is a bastid and slips out if you're not careful. A winder defo helps speed up the process

ha ha ha, hlysht i just watched this.

same thing can happen on a mustang, or rather the coiling will sort of pull apart where the string dips under the tailpiece. good tip hurb.

Hurb's soldering tip just saved me having to buy a new thin E on a set I put on my Jazzy like last week.

THAT BITCH IS FIXED AND SITTING PRETTY, THANKS HURB!

Nice one doog!
