I don't understand why there wasn't a closeup of the tuning machines as he talked about the different methods... that would have been, well, useful.

The section on refitting the strings would be improved by a close up of the head stock.

Love my J-45. Terrible visuals. This is video, please show folks exactly what you are doing close up. Thanks for making great guitars!

Love all the content! if you do other tech vids please focus the camera on the guitar rather than 3 different angles of Jim.

I wish you could have actually seen the three string winding methods.

Gibson, not to be Roger Ebert here but let me be Roger Ebert here. Those were bad camera angles on the low headstock shots while he was attempting to show us the wraps.

Good video!, maybe a few close ups on the winding will help a little more and ... please, as you remove the pegs, place them in order because you may just want to use the same peg on the same string, if they are new is no problem but with the use each one will adapt to the lenght of the string, ...just saying ;)

If you are going to do a video on string change, why not have a camera angle so we can see what you're talking about!! I use the Mike Hickey, Joe Bonamassa method.

Violões Gibson são tops Abracos e bends

thanks howie mandel

2020 Wrong Camera Angle Awards Nominee !

I feel like 3 at a time puts a lot of twisting tension on the neck. One at a time or all of them

Made sense but the intricate parts ie, the three methods need a close up so as it’s possible to see what he’s doing. This would be a perfect KZfaq video for radio.

The easiest way to get the bridge pins out is to just push the strings down a little way into the body after you cut them. As soon as the ball end is clear of the bottom of the pin, the pin should slide out easily, no tool required. Not only is it easier, there's also no risk of dinging the bridge with a pin pulling tool.

Beautiful flattop

Thank goodness.. as much as I searched, I just couldn't find hundreds of other videos covering this exact topic... Thanks Gibson

Showing how to change the strings without showing how to change the strings.

What strings are you using?? Bought an sj last year and can’t find anything that sounds like what it did out of the box…..

the snark tuner says the rubber of tuner interact with the finish it mention specifically gibson and nitrocellulose finishes. Oddly it also says the same for polyurethane finishes too. Im sure this is just for per-longed contact. Otherwise its a great tuner i bought one on jims recommendations.

Are there really people buying a Gibson acoustic not knowing how to restring and tune it? Just curious. Thanks for an awesome channel, Gibson TV!

What's the OEM strings on the 60s j-45?

Let's say we're going to show somebody how to do something and then make it very obscure to see. That ought to make for a great video 👍

Still have the original factory installed strings on the new Gibson's I bought several years ago. Dove, Hummingbird, Southern Jumbo & Advanced Jumbo! Maybe I'll change them.

After chaging string I'm facing problem to tuna my G string its so tight I can't take it beyod D, if I apply much stress my string broke but doesn't going to G standard tuning.What should I do?

Love all this videos !!!🤟🤟

I am glad to know the correct method of changing strings. I am definitely looking forward to the next programme.

Need a video from top as he shows different methods

Cheers Gibson

Close but no cigar ;-)

Finally picking up new strings after, o god probably like 3 years

I would never use wire cutters to remove bridge pins from my j45

I know this video is about restringing a guitar but I need some direction on where to get a new pick guard for a 1960 Gibson Hummingbird. Is there direction you could point me in to obtain one? Thanks

Thank u soo much Gibson, I was really wanting to know how to put strings properly on my acoustic, but I couldn't understand all the other videos on KZfaq but this one made me understand soo easily, Awesome explanation 🤘🤘✌️✌️ Thank you so much 😁😁

WE CAN’T SEE THE NUANCE OF BENDING THE STRINGS!!!!!

I learned about the locking method when I worked at Guild in the late 80's. Been using it ever since. I am curious about the Z method but cant see how you did it. Not sure why you have such a terrible camera angle, cant see any detail whatsoever.

Can you show how to setup a guitar

What i do if the bridge ping get Stuck? because that happened to me when i was stringing my acoustic guitar and i try to get out the pin, its was hard because it was stuck.

The camera operator should have the camera focused on the head stock..as he is winding......

Hmm the video is ok , only when listening there is no detailed focus on the threading and tightening. So I really don’t know what you mean

The whole purpose of this is detail right? How and why is not shown or told.

She liked the stretching part...

If your bridge pin is wood or plastic, *NEVER* pull it out with a tool especially cheapo string winder. They will chipped or deformed, and bridge may be dented. (Yes, I did lol) If you can't pull the bridge pin out, you can push it out from the inside of the guitar. Make sure the bridge pins and bridge holes fit properly (slightly loose fit). Also, his method would too much string wraps. Unless you want to earn a break angle on the strings, two or three wraps are good enough. The smart way to restring. Wrap twice and pass the tip of the strings between two wraps, the strings are virtually locked there. Many guitar luthier / repair guys use this method.

When is the icon Kirk Hammett is gonna come out

This guy went from trying to explane gforce tuning and dip switches to showing how to do it oldskool .

Yes bad camera angles I can’t see what you’re doing.

Why have a OVERDRIVE distorted electric guitar intro? Shouldn't be am acoustic sound intro? Why not RAP, Classical or Hillbilly Bluegrass music intro's?

I can’t see how he restrings the guitar, because the strange, unhelpful camera angles seem to avoid getting too close to the guitar.

Anyone else waiting for him to poke a finger ???

I understand that being an experienced Luthier you have a number of tried and true short cuts. I enjoy these Gibson Video's, I watch them all.. I have been restringing my guitars all brands including Gibson Acoustic and Electric's since 1966, But suggesting to use a pair of Wire cutters as a Bridge Pin Remover is just not a great Idea for a short cut and made me cringe. Imagine a new owner changing his or hers strings for the first time using a pair of wire cutters as suggested and damaging the Bridge or Nicking the Bridge Pin? It would minor, but a big nick on the Bridge would suck every time the guitar was played. Investing on a Plastic Bridge Pin remover for a $1.00 or $2.00 is well worth having in your tool box after spending thousands on a great brand guitar. good or bad my opinion, Jim DeCola does have the Dream job..!!

Or you can push the bridge pin from underneath the bridge via the guitar hole. Safer compared to cutting/damaging the pin or the body of the guitar 🙈

Cool idea Gibson, but dear lord change camera angles! You can't show precise string techniques from 6 feet away.....

Nice video but terrible camera work when inserting, bending and winding the strings. I guess people who do this all the time forget rookies need to see what the they are talking about.

This video has to be redone. One can’t see a shit.

Thank you. However your Not filming so we can See the head stock.

cheers guys, but your camera work is shocking

Alright, I've had enough. You guys have to make an Eric Clapton signature fool SG

Ditto the crap camera angle!!!!

I own and play two beautiful Gibson guitars but this video lacks the professional camera and instructional expertise I expect from Gibson. B minus

Ugh!

That was not a proud 'arms over each other'! You can do better! Embrace that Masculinity! 💪💪💪 They've destroyed enough already! 😲

Poor video recording. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You can't even see what he is doing

Don’t waste your time, they show you multiple ways to tie off strings but the director didn’t think it would be advantageous to show a video of it, it’s all obscured. Absolute waste of time, back to search.
