Thank you for such a clear demo! Reduced my anxiety about changing the strings for the 1st time on an expensive guitar.

I've done 6 more holes on the 1/4 guitar of my son to lower the action and I didn't really know how to tie the strings on that modified bridge. I've now got the best method ! Thanks a lot.

Thanks for this video. After more than 40 years guitars with a 6-hole bridge, I got a guitar this summer with a 12-hole bridge, and was lost. This video really helped. Also, that trick of making the loop and pulling the knot through is terrific -- the sort of thing you learn and realize how many hours could have been saved over the years.

By far the best 12 hole bridge string changing video on KZfaq! Thank you!!

Thank you! 19 years in the trade and I just got face to face with my first 12 hole wrapblock. Your video was very helpful!

This is an excellent demonstration and a solid method. Just keep in mind that if your guitar is like mine and has the lower hole to the right (as you look towards the neck) then you need to reverse the direction of the loop, etc. But it works just as well.

Excellent video. I watched a lot of them. Even though I don't have a 12 hole bridge, this is an excellent tutorial, because a very confusing step is tying the string to the tuning machines, which almost no one explains clearly. Thank you Erez!

W video! Never in my life I’ve stringed a guitar for so long! It took my 2 hours 😭

Thank you for this detailed explanation, man. I appreciate this just like anyone who needed it🔥

An exemplary clear explanation on how to change classical guitar strings. A real professional here. There is no way it can be done 'properly' by an intuitive approach by reference to changing strings on an electric guitar

at last I can tension my strings fearlessly! Thanks you for sharing this restringing method.!! So simple yet so effective, faster and easier than my old way!!

Thank you for such a detailed and clear description. I was always tying knots on the treble strings, but this way is much easier, faster and more elegant.

Merci pour tous ces détails très expliqués et très bien filmés. Super tuto!

Thank you. Excellent, patient, thorough instruction throughout the video!

This is a very easy and stable method. Thank you very much for your video!

Greatly appreciate your excellent demo. Clear as a bell and very helpful. Thank you!

Thank you. Really neat job and I will be using your method when I change the strings on my Ortega in a few days time 👍

Thanks Erez. Great explanation. This is how I will restring my 12 hole guitars going forward.

Fantastic video! Great video shots & great explanation.

What a solid method...always questioned how to get the trebs a good fit. Shared this video

I really like how you do the trebles at the bridge. It's the tidiest and most secure I have done so far.

Excellent video. Very clear and simple to follow. Thanks..

Merci beaucoup, votre méthode est impeccable et très bien expliquée

This was very useful! Thank you very much!

Thank you, the video is very helpful.

סרטון מצוין ארז, תודה רבה! אתה גדול!

Thanks very clear explanation very helpful!

Looks straight forward but I did have some issues. I think holding the free end of the string, after it's been pulled through the loop, against the back of the bridge is important to get the the loop twisting the right way. I did, however, have slippage of carbon strings, E and B string, despite roughening the end with sand paper. I suppose the demonstration is with nylon trebles and maybe they grip better? I now take the free end of the E and B string twice through the loop after it's been twisted and so far so good. :)

Thanks for the very clear demonstration and explanation. I'd like to ask you which electric drill winder bit you have, it looks more protective of the instrument than the one's I've seen. I'd feel more secure using something like that as opposed to the hard plastic variety that could potentially scratch the finish.

The explanation is very clear. Thank you. One question to ask is will you use the nail clipper to cut off the extra strings on the head side? If yes, how much to cut off?

Thanks for this!

Excellent. Thank you.

Best method ive seen for my 12 hole guitar. Thank you.

I love this! I am a woodworker but not a flamenco guitarist. Your passion and craftsmanship are wonderful!

This video was helpful

Thanks s lot man❤

I am extra careful. With plain nylon string I like to burn the end of it to form a ball. That way it will never slide off. With the wound string, I like to make an extra loop around the pressing point.

Also, the direction for winding strings on the headside, I had the 4th and 3rd strings touching the center wood part if I followed your direction. IDK how, maybe your guitar and mine are differently structures.

Excellent video. Intrigued by the drill attachment for tightening the strings - is that something you devised your self or is it available commercially?

thank you very much

Thanks for posting this. Cool technique but it only worked for my g string. Kept slipping on the other strings and had to switch to a different method. Unfortunate since I like the ease and aesthetics of this one.

I'm surprised that you pull for no slack before tightening. Have you ever had an issue with that?

Very helpful. Great Job. There is one question left. What happens with the overlength string ends at the head stock? Do you cut them?

Can I use this kind of bridge with steel wires? 🤔 the slot for the saddle is huge on my guitar I got used! I can fit 2 saddles in it!! Haven't seen a slot that big on any other guitars, it looks like it had 2 round things, one on each end of the slot & something between to hold the saddle. I like it cause it doesn't have pins but can't use it without a saddle. Opinions or Help if you can.

I can no longer differentiate between the top and bottom holes on my 12 bridge, would it be more common practice to start the string in the hole closest in proximity to the bass side?

Looks like hard work. Try this way . String through first hole. Bring the end up and tie a half hitch round the main string (the long bit ). Then feed the end through second hole and bend the end in position. After the half hitch the string cannot escape . Practice with thicker cord on a piece of wood to understand the mechanism. Basic knots --half hitch .

Great!!

It was a good video, until I realized my holes on the bridge are actually opposite. Otto Vowinkel 2A, spruce. Now I gotta redo the thing. Too bad, thanks anyhow

11:00 treble bridge tie

please tell me the distance between the two holes and the hole diameter ...is it 1 mm?

Efharisto!

Olé!

How to changes of C40 yamaga guitar string....

The way your nails are shaped is an Iodine deficiency called clubbing. Thought you should know.

Great video. I f you ever look for a change, you might consider a career as brain surgeon. ;)

So the lesson learned is, no single rule applies. Try it out, but don't go blind

Your a pain.

too much yapping. this could have been explained in half the time!!!!
