@foxhillreds
Thats complete bs, without taking all of them off how do you nourish/clean the fretboard right?
thanks for the vid man all of them ive seen have ben really shitty so far. do you know whether or not you buy the same locking tuners to put on a lefty guitar as you do on a righty guitar?
ah thank you, ledgend., just bought one of the 2010 strats never had locking tuners before, relly helpfull vid. cheers
@foxhillreds You can do anything you want.
the guy in the background is cracking me up. its that blank look on his face =/
I have them too. Can you lock the strings and then tune them?
I’ve been wondering this, because one of mine broke and won’t turn anymore.
Like it’s jammed, Did that do it?
@foxhillreds on a telecaster like this one in the video, it doesn’t matter if it’s just for a while. To leave it like that for 2 weeks or more might change the tention in the neck. Bass guitar on the other hand, it’s recommended to never remove all at same time. But I’ve seen professionals doing it aswell, guess after changing it 50 times a day makes you want to do it fast.
@CollyStrings actually its not good for your guitar if you take off all the strings
@carsguitars009 He seems to be under the impression that you’ll snap the neck, but the truss rod isn’t cabable of that, it’s just a theory someone came up with which clearly isn’t true.
@Stringprodigy Well chosen username there
@foxhillreds why the hell not bud?
@foxhillreds wow, you really don’t know shit about guitars
that in itself isn’t a bad thing
the fact that you spew bullshit about them as if you do
is
0:58!!guy in background is very confused
demo was good, but just get to the point and exclude all the yapping
You replace all strings at once for tone… and the others will likely break soon… and you should put the low e on last to prevent neck bending
@foxhillreds you can take them all of, but if you leave them off for to long it could warp the neck
how much were they
@foxhillreds I’m sorry, you must really not know anything about guitars then.
your not supposed to take all the strings off your guitar at once
im gonna take some a sprinkle them on my nut….
dane is very patient. is he jewish btw?? haha helpful thanks
dude i have esp ec-1000 with locking tuner and i used the graphite on the nut but i keep hearing the chink sound from the nut and the tune gets messy , and when i play open note on any string while i tune up another string it affect the string and it comes out of tune plz help me T_T
@JaguarsJunior Yes, you can tune to any tuning you want..
Hey can you tune down with these tuners (to C)??
I#m not sure because you said that you dont need more than a half turn
good video
@theguvnerpresents No, it doesn’t work like that. Watch the video at 1:26, you should see those little circles on the back of each tuner. That is the “locking mechanism” of the locking tuners, once you lock the string in, its nearly impossible to turn that. Additionally, you can always detune and retune with no problems. Once you ‘lock the string in, they are just like standard tuners, but better.
