Changing Strings

Brad Paisley's guitar tech Chad n changing strings

make sure you have 3 or 4 wraps of string on the tuning post and also check to see that they're not overlapping. replace the strings one at a time so your neck tension stays as consistant as possible. tune the string to pitch and gently tug on the string starting at the top of the neck and work your way down to the bridge. use both hands if you like. you should pull hard enough to be able to feel the string stretch but DO NOT pull hard. overstretching is as bad as not stretching enough. stretch, tune to pitch, stretch, tune to pitch. do all 6 strings and then give one last tug at the 12th fret on all of them. tune to pitch. i've strung guitars for every artist i've ever worked for like this aside from my own guitars
