This video refers to strat all instruments ranging from 7.5 fretboard radius up to 9,5 but even more and will also work on the 6 saddles - Hudba
Frudua years later still has the definitive guitar setup guides on yt.
I watched a bunch of his videos years ago but just recently found his website. Such a wealth of information.
I was surprised to see him. I clicked on this video to find the best tricks for restringing my guitar and I'm like "Hey! It's the Beatles vocal guy!"
He's doing something right, cause John Frusciante's guitar tech posted this video on how to string this style guitar. 🤷♂️
: ) What makes the string behave like locking tuners in this video is not the higher or lower number of wrappings (less is better) but the way the string is knot around the post and MOST OF ALL the way you tune your guitar (please see related videos) :)
This is the best stringing tutorial because you take the time to repeat the important steps and you can see what you are doing very well. I subscribed.
Some time ago I found this video, back when I was very frustrated about my guitar constantly going out of tune. I tightened the Grover tuners on my Dean, and mounted the strings as described in this video. Now i´ve been playing for about a week, without the need for retuning! Incredible, how such a simple thing can have a huge effect on my playing. Thank you so much for this! I even cancelled my order for locking tuners...
Thanks. I have a new guitar giving me tuning trouble. After playing guitar for 25 years you have taught me a better way to string my guitars.
Checking back for the 4th time to this exact video, thanks for the clear instructions and reliable technique used here! Glad to have this handy to refresh my memory, just about every time it’s time again 👍
3:48
“Learn this by heart, please!”
I’m trying 😂 someday I’ll have it down in my memory !
I did this to my strat yesterday. followed Fender's instructions on their website on how to set up a vintage style tremelo for best performance. but you took things one step further... I thank you so much. I love my strat even more now. you sir are the best. keep making videos and keep learning and teaching. have a good day!
Thanks for the great video! This is the only video for beginners that actually shows close-up video, and not just assume what a beginner knows. Well done! I have been hesitant to restring as I don't want to mess it up. This gives clear direction!
Mr. Frudua, you are so very good with all of your tutorial videos as you take special time to repeat all important steps where as many others are once and done.
Everything I needed to know. Thank you so much for this man, it really is the best video I saw on this topic so far
Hey! its 3:26am now and i'm on a mission to watch all your videos.Its really that good!!
Extremely informative.
Thanks man.
I didn't understand the whole "locking" thing you have to do before tightening the strings. I looked at like 5 other videos before this and still didn't get it, and you were the only one who explained it well. Thanks!!!
Thank you my friend in Italy. Appreciate this and all, that you do.
Best,
RD
The best video to how to restring a guitar, every detail mentioned, thanks you.
I come back to this channel everytime. Thank you so much
I've been locking my strings for 40 years, I'm suprised other players have'nt been doing it that way also. I read about it in "Guitar Player" magazine back then. Also another tip I picked up there also was to use WD 40 for cleaning off your strings at the end of the night and that will make them come alive again and for the following night. Great channel Mr. Frudua!
Oh thanks Richard. Thats amazing
I've been playing for 20 years and didn't realize I was stringing my guitar incorrectly until I had a fret level done last year and received my guitar back strung in this fashion. my guitar stayed in tune better than ever before. I string my guitar religiously this way now. in fact, I just finished restringing about an hour ago.
Great tips, and I love your videos. I hope you post more frequently in the future. thank you!
Thank you for these great videos. You are a very talented and knowledgeable guitar teacher!
Thank you very much for this method, it's the best I've ever seen!
Thank you very much for the great videos - you helped me a lot with my Fender tremolo!
Thanks, just gonna try it. Historically my first full restringing (not counting when I replaced one broken string with an old/previously used one). :))
Another excellent video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!! 👍
You are really good at explaining, very nice-made videos, good job, really it helps a lot!
I know for sure how to restring my guitar, but i just love this guy and come back everytime i have to change my strings.
thanks a lot, a very clear and pleasant lesson. You are an accomplished teacher as well as a liutist.
The Frudua Video Collection is Priceless.
I have probably commented on this video before. Once again thank you for doing it. Out of all string changing videos I find your demo the most helpful and thoroughly explained. I have seen and heard of many methods but this is the one that works best for me! Thank you again!
John Malkovich Thank you!
That is a superb idea on winding strings. i love how you lock the strings in...gonna have to see f that works for a Strat.
THe best explanation and perfect close up...
you are the best. others do not show the knots part with close up like you. thank you
loud and clear.very effective method thanks.
Great. Very well explained thank you.
2021 and still watching this every time 😁, thank you
Thanks mate, I've been to my local music shop and they showed me how to do it. Just hope I remember by the time I change them again :)
Excellently explained for us drummers who try hard to play electric guitar, Thanks man much appreciated!
Thank you so much for the clear explanation
This is the best and easiest method. Thank you!
@perryinjax I recommend cahnging the strings one at a time and retuning each time each string. If this not possible for some reason just put the guitar on the table with a support under the first frets and it will be ok.
Simple and clear. THANK YOU.
Fantastic, simple and effective.
You are the Miyagi Do of settings strings for great intonation. Thank you!
30 years of guitar playing and I still did not know how to properly string my guitars...My luthier told me about this method but I did not get it right. Your video is detailed enough to help me get it and for the first time today I suceeded. For that, a big THANK YOU.
Use a pair of sturdy needle nose pliers & make a strong tuning-post diameter bend about 1 to 1½ posts past the low E string post, for the bass E string
Increase to a span of about two for the highest strings
And yes always turn so that the the strings wraps from top to bottom & from inside to out
Damn! This really helped! My guitar really stays in tune! Thank you so much!
Excellent detail, Thank you a lot man o/
Your method works fine. Thanx.
Very well explained and informative, I wish I had this knowledge 15 years ago, but better late than never.... Thank you
@FruduaTv
i got it now, works perfectly and very reliable!
Great tips from this guy. I have been doing this for my Les Paul for years, shown to me by my luthier; he called it "the Gibson method" but i have not seen anything online that refers to this. Anyway frudua.com is a fantastic resource.
Excellent detail
This just changed it all for me. Wow, I had no idea it’s the way I re-string! Also, Soooo many guitars come from factories “set up”. They often feel great but just don’t stay in tune! Let’s send them this video.
Thank you!
@NoodleTheSlayer Glad about this!
Thanks man🎸.
Dude, you are so fantastic. Guitarist, Beatles Singer, Teacher!
aloha from hawaii thank you for this video it has made changing strings from a pain in the ass to something easy. this method is the best THANK YOU
kidpix89 Thank you!
ive always done a similar thing but looped them back thru the hole a 2nd time, good to learn a better technique
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Thanks a lot!
Thank you.
Thank-you!
thank you man
Better than any video
Thanks!
thank you
Thanks.
You're welcome!
Hello, Mr. Frudua, and thank you for these great tutorials! However, I've got a question: in this video, you show how to tune a "Gibson style" guitar with that kind of headstock. What about a Squier Bullet Strat, which has a different headstock (by the way, I have a bridge that allows for tremolo use, but I've never used it and it seems it can't even be used, since the bridge is screwed tight into the body, so I guess it's... fixed?).
Best vídeo ever
THANK YOU' :)
great video. Thanks!
I'll try this next time I change my strings....One thing that I'm still confused about - the number of wraps on the post depends on the gap you leave.....
@forjacob Hi you do not need to do this if you have locking tuners. Just do the minimum of turns areound the post possible.
nice looking guitar
Does this technique work on Fender style headstocks (Strat type guitar) as well?
Frudua do you have any tricks for changing the strings on vintage style stratocaster tuners? Thanks very much!!
Yes Sir!
I come back here year after year
Buonasera Galeazzo, complimenti per i video! Spiegazioni molto chiare e piacevoli da guardare, complimenti anche per i video sulle armonie vocali dei Beatles! In ogni caso io utilizzo questo metodo per montare le corde da quando l'ho trovato su un manuale della Gretsch e lo trovo fantastico e veloce ma riesco a tenere la corda in tensione per tutta l'operazione senza bisogno di "lasciare spazio": la infilo e la tendo, la passo dentro e sotto, mezzo giro di chiavetta e sta già su! Meglio ancora?
Hi, thank you for posting these videos. Why do you leave any string tension when rapping? Wouldn't that just add extra string that can give away and thus be bad for holding the tune? I thought that was the point with locking tuners. As little string around the tuner as possible. Thanks
this is good but the issue i have is on the high e and b strings , i find that those strings using this method will break the string at the post . The string will cut itself where the string is pulled up and over . The string will cut itself at that junction . It can help a little by not making the pull over as tight or by making one wind over the hole before winding down . My strings are 0.10s.
@przecpany Yes., the videos makes some suggestions in this direction.
hello, frudua
first it's a very good and detailed video! i'm now practicing. it worked on the 1st string pretty well. but on the other strings pretty bad. i'm pretty sure it's something in my technique, so i will ask these questions:
1. after u have putted the string inside the bridge. do you insert the string inside the tuning key until the length of the string ended, or else leaving some gap on it.
2. this a a method for regular modern strings of a guitar. What about vintage style and bass tuners?
Hope u will understand my word and give your best to help me.
Omri.
thanks I came here for that restring to tune my guitar but I should hire a guitar tech to do this. But I want these tuners, Tune winder and other gears to fix my string. But how to fix a bridge and a tremolo to be in tune?
good!
@mikeKIdLazy If you mean to use the tremolo see my video how to "How to keep your Strat tremolo in tune". if you don't mean to use the tremolo see the other video where I string and tune with the LP guitar
rly great hints! they work perfectly.
but when applying your technique to the b and high e strings it gets quite difficult to handle cuz the bent string slips away. got any extra tips?
or maybe i just have to practise a bit more :D
The best explanation on CZcams accent aside.
I've reached this conclusion after I have tried to mount the whammy bar and move it so as to create that tremolo effect, but the whammy bar wouldn't move so I stopped for fear not to damage anything.
Anyway, I need to restring my guitar and I was wondering what I should do - is it ok to use the sae method you've shown in this video? (except for the higher strings, which would probably have to be mounted just like the thicker strings, I suppose)...
Could you please help me? :)
@larzvegas89122 If you have a strat on which you mean to use the tremolo THAT video is ok. If you have a LP style guitar with ANGLED headstock just follow this video procedure.
For the last 40 years+ I have found The BEST way is to first wrap the string around the post twice then go through the hole and tighten up as normal - try it!
@Genera1Smok3 It hasn't been the changin but the gauge you mounted which is most probably different then the older one (or another bradn of same gauge strings which has a different tension). did you mount a lighter gauge? Check out the truss rod you probably has to release it a bit.
depending on where the fret buzz is as well couldn't another problem be the bridge? I noticed this myself when mounting the same gauge strings that the bridge on my epiphone sg seemed to have gotten lower. great video though, I've been thinking there was probably a better way to wrap the strings than what I have been doing.
Question, question! When I restring my guitar (Fender Strat Mexican), I insert the string inside the hole and hold it in my hand, then I tune it up while holding so the string wraps as it likes. This way I have one wrap on every string. How does this method sound for you?
My luthier is a certified Martin, Gibson, and Fender tech. He showed me this same way and it works great for tuning stability. My only comment would be in the number of wraps mentioned in the explanation. Maybe I heard it wrong, but 3-4 (low) and 5-6 (high) are too many. The video shows fewer wraps, which is the way my luthier showed me. The lowest (thickest) strings might only have one wrap. Since you usually eyeball the slack, another wrap or two won't hurt especially on the thinnest strings.
BBKing used the wrap the whole string.
@PogPogo Yes Pog just practice a bit more and you will find it very easy to do.
Mr. Frudua, thank you for this video. One question sir, should the strings be wrapped around the tuning post in this same way on a standard strat with a standard strat style tremolo? Thank you,
~Kevin~
Hi Galeazzo, on your other videos, you showed to restring E,A,D ( videos on How to set up your stat for better tremolo use) to wrap over the tuner holes ? so which is better?
@kirschak1 Se la avvolgi in questo modo in pratica creai una specie di nodo che, una volta stretchata, fissa la corda perfettamente
Great video, but it just reminds me why I like locking tuners so much lol.
I wonder, can I use this method of yours with a guitar that already has locking tuners?
That would make it super-steady wouldnt it?
Thank you very much again!
