    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.

      Ditto. The camera needed to be over the headstock as he showed the different methods of attaching the strings and then winding them. I couldn't follow his instructions.

      I thought the same too... just checked the comments and I can see that it's not just me!! The camera came closer from the bottom and side of the guitar, but not a full on close up of the tuning pegs!!! Apart from that, I thought it was a useful video!!

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

    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.

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

  • @DylanGladstoneMusic
    @DylanGladstoneMusic 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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..!!

      Try pushing the string slightly into the body. This should move the ball end past the end of the bridge pin. The pin should slide out easily after that.
      Since I saw someone do that trick I've never used a bridge pin pulling tool.

    Isn’t it important to keep the bridge pins organized? Here he didn’t. As the new string was uncoiled the tail end of it slapped all over the beautiful finish of that hummingbird. Possibly scratching it. I almost couldn’t watch it without clenching. Camera angle or lack there of made it impossible to see the different methods of securing the string. Great workspace though.
