  • How fast can you change your strings? With Guitar Tech Keaton Rich
    Keaton Rich and I decided to time how quickly we can change the guitar strings.
    Not only just to change it quickly, but properly, because one of the guitars will be used at tonight's show!

    I've tried at least three ways to do that and always feels more comfortable the way Kiko did (one string at the time).
    Also want to try the way Tom Weber (EVH's guitar tech) do with a long T shape 3mm long allen wrench.
    That will be when I have again a double locking guitar.
    Just a comment from my point of view as a bike mechanic-ish: shorter allen wrenches are easier to handle on tight spots... but if there's space for a longer one is better to use it instead: more control and less chance to damage the head of the bolts.
    Thanks Kiko, your channel is so much fun and we learn a lot.

    @These_go_to_eleven_1959 Місяць тому

    On my Ibanez RG's it takes me 5 mins per guitar to restring without any fretboard cleaning.The things that keep my time down are I leave the ball end at the tuning post and cut lengths as each string is fed to the saddle. I have been restringing 6 inline strat style necks for over 30 years so 5 mins to me is average. The cleaning is what takes time because i like to polish the frets and do the fingerboard with conditioner.

I've been interested in getting a Floyd Rose guitar next, but watching this video sure makes me have second thoughts. People aren't kidding when they're whining about changing strings on their FR systems 🥴.

    • @BlazinLow305
      @BlazinLow305 2 роки тому

      If you put the effort into learning how to do it right, it's really not hard. The trick is to block the bridge off so it can't move, that lets you tune up normally. And if you changed tunings or gauges making your bridge go out of whack, it's a simple adjustment of the claw in the back with a screw driver. Ben Eller has a good video on it.
