Modern style tuners on Fender guitars are the ones with a hole through the tuning peg. If you have a modern Fender, or Fender copy guitar, they will likely have these kind of tuners on them, unless your guitar is a reissue of some kind. Have a look at your tuners and see if they look like the following picture (ignore the height, just focus on where the hole is):
For those of you who are fairly new to any form of maintenance, some of the terms may be a little bit foreign to you at the moment. To help you follow along, here is a cool diagram detailing the key parts of the guitar for string changing.
Once you get into the flow of changing strings, and have done it a few times, all of this will become second nature. However, in the meantime, here is a checklist to work through:
1. Pull the string through the bridge and up through the tuning pegs. Make sure it is nice and taut.
2. Allow roughly two tuners' length of extra string after the tuning peg. With smaller tuning pegs, you may need to do 1 length instead.
3. Put a kink in the string where the peg is, then pull the string back through, leaving half an inch between the kink and the peg.
4. Aim for 3 wraps around the peg for taller pegs, and 2 for smaller pegs.
5. Cut the excess string with a pair of wire cutters.
In order to make your string changing quick and neat, we recommend two pieces of gear. Firstly a set of wire cutters and secondly, a string winder. These two tools will massively speed up the process and improve the quality of the finish of the string changing.

![The Perfect Stratocaster Trem / Vibrato Setup [Floating, Flat Or Blocked?]](/img/n.gif)
This is such a great series, thank you! I really appreciate the high level of detail, it gives me confidence that I can try it myself and won't screw it up. Is there a video on rebalancing the floating bridge on a Strat after you've taken all the strings off and replaced them?
Very good video. Thank you for putting this out
This whole playlist, from string change to cleaning, to setup, etc is all EXCELLENT. and it covers EVERY detail, with a methods I have checked with my two luthier friends as being solid and a great reference, until you get so good at things that you can do it all by feel :)
I am curious, what is any of your feelings about using .009 gauge strings with Strats, as all the Squier, MIM and MIUSA Strats seem to ship with them?
I had been a .010 gauge player for well over 15 years before I tried a set of .0095 (9.5 gauge) on my main 1990 American Standard Strat, and I found it to be an excellent compromise for my technique, it stands up well to heavy funk comping / skank picking, as well as having a bit of give for bends and solos..
I just picked up a Squier Classic Vibe 60's Strat, which sounds fantastic right out of the box, but I followed this playlist (as I often do now) and completed a really careful full setup, from fretboard clean and condition, fret polish, through relief, floating the bridge, string action, intonation and pickup height adjustment.
For that setup, I wanted to have an ideal version of the factory spec, so I put a new set of D'Addario XL120 9's on it
But I am debating about whether to move up in gauge to 9.5 or MAYBE 10s.
I am curious as to what gauge James sees most often come across his bench on Strats in general?
I believe 10's are going on the Strat in this video, but what is the most common nowadays?
Locking tuning keys. Picture the headcap of the neck as the face of a clock, with the top being 12:00 and the nut being 6:00. Line the six tuning machines so that the first string keyhole is set at 1:00, the second at 2:00, the third and fourth at 3:00, the fifth at 4:00, and the sixth at 5:00. Pull the strings through tautly and tighten the thumb wheel, locking the string in. Now tune to pitch.
Perhaps a silly question, but when winding the strings around is the goal to get the string in tune? Or just the right amount of wraps around, then tune up from there?
I wish I understood measuring the last 2 stings.
when I'm changing the strings on my guitar it feels like the strings are getting really tight and they feel like they might snap at any point. is that normal?
Can you show us how to restring a floyd rose?
I often have a problem, when restringing and tuning a guitar with a floating tremolo system like this strat, where my floating trem will lift up. So the bridge will end up angled downward toward the pickups rather than parallel to the body. This, I think, causes higher action on my strings. How would you correct this?
I loved your video on how to properly change change your strings on your modern Fender standard tuning keys. I assume that works for both the Strat & Tele b/c they have the same standard staggered tuning keys. I thought I read on Fender's website they recommended that turning the string around clockwise & then under itself & bending it back over top itself to create some kind of knot to help stop string slippage? I rather like your method & I was wondering if you could demonstrate the method Fender Musical Instrument Co. is recommending so I can see what they are talking about & how it differs/is similar to the method you've already demonstrated? I have been playing guitar religiously for at least 20+ years & I don't think enough time is spent on explaining things the way you have here. Even if you are unable to do the comparison between the two methods. I would like to thank you for all your time & patience. You can teach old dogs new tricks. lol
use the Fender method. You have probably figured that out by now.
What about the technique to change only a couple strings at a time, not to change the tension on the neck?
Yes that defo works if you’re just doing a string change - but if you want to do a full set up, or clean the guitar, you’ll need to take em all off! :)
Are you sure? Seriously?
@Andrew Palacios the video plays just fine for me.. 🤷🏼♂️
