Part 2
Keith Holland from Keith Holland Guitars and Guitar Hospital shows us 3 different Tele bridges, some vintage, some not so vintage. But since the bridge is one of three places where strings touch the guitar, it pays to understand what works best for your guitar. Note that the Tele bridge is somewhat simpler than a tremelo Strat Bridge.

Jack Van Breen from Guitar Showcase changes strings on a Fender Stratocaster with a floating Tremelo. This guitar is on of Jack’s and it’s a beautiful white Fender Custom Shop Strat. With a floating tremelo, you have to tune the strings and then tune them about 2 more times. Then you are good to go.

Jack Van Breen shows how to change strings on a Martin HD28V. He shows the “Martin Technique” for securing the strings on the tuners. He is using Martin Strings. Note how easy things are with the Planet Waves Pro Winder Tool. Jack discusses the pros and cons of string types and guages. Jack also mentions the Strings for Food Program. If you are local bring in 3 cans of food for the local foodbank and Jack will change your strings. Bring more food if you have a classical guitar or a 12 string. It’s a great program and you get to try different string that are donated by various makers.
