@sh4ne6 Take a thin long screwdriver and push down through the hole from the top to knock the little ball ends loose..assuming you have a strat with a standard sort of tremolo
whered you get your guitar
U Helped a LOT!!!,BUT 1 ADVICE!!!,***DON’T*** TAKE ALL THE STRINGS IN THE SAME TIME,DO I T ONE-BY-ONE!
thanks
thanks alot dude
my strings are stuck when i try to push them out the back and when i try to pull them
but my string alone the turnpiece! and the string is too small and it’s stuck in!
@SamuelllSabotage why is it necessary to remove it. the exposed hardware is susceptible to damage that way. if you just think it looks cool that way
, thats another thing.
good job.thanks for posting it.
@Morbidvengeance91 sell it. If you mean remove your whammy bar, it should unscrew. If you get rid of your whammy bar tighten up the bridge…there are three large screws underneath your saddle (that is if you are using a Strat). Got to take off the saddles blocking access to the screws. Usually the bridge is loosened when using a bar so it performs how its suppose to. Though, your strings get out tune more often when using a bar because of that reason.
@LOZmaster85RB shouldn’t have to cut the loop end if that’s what you are talking about. You need to cut the other end that is wrapped around the spulls above the nut.
@flcn92 Unfortunately, no one cares cause they are ignorant. On top of that, they are going to believe the more wide spread lies than the simple truth from one person. Anyways…as I said to the top rated comments, its a good habit to remove one string at a time in case you end up changing the strings on an older guitar.
@atrociousvicinity027 Happens when the little ball or loop end (the little metal thing on one end of the string…depends on what kind of string you are using) gets to tight in the tremolo block holes. And that’s because of when you tighten the strings from tuning. I actually just had a couple strings do that to me…I used a really small alen wrench to loosen up the loop end. push it from the top of the body down, through the bridge holes.
@kd9603470756 aside from that…yeah, you could still cause the neck to go out of adjustment.
@kd9603470756 still a good practice removing one at a time…for one if you are new at it you could use the other strings as reference to see how it was done, etc. Also if you get an guitar that has the neck built-in to it, then you’d already be used to doing one at a time and not all at one time, and accidentally screw up the neck because of a bad habit.
i tried to push the string backwards but it’s just stuck. what the hell should i do with this?
@ChioThings that is only for guitars with attached necks. (the whole guitar is one piece) the strat has a neck that is screwed on separatley
Never, ever take off all of the strings.
@hatten7575 no you just losen the strings so its near flexible and its a homerun from there
you can take all the strings off at once, that’s a common falsehood in the guitar community. Strings do put a lot of tension on the neck but not enough to effect the integrity of the neck. That’s why the trussrod was invented, to hold that tension on the neck and keep it straight. go ahead take all the strings off, it’s not going to hurt your neck.
never remove all strings
@guitarfreak651 don´t you have to if you change pickups?
