Thank you!

I just picked up a nice Cordoba thin line. I wish I found this video before I changed the strings. I found other videos, but they moved a little too fast. I appreciate the clarity you displayed. I never had to restring a classical guitar before.
My electrics, I can restring an under 10 minutes. I’ve been doing this for over 30 years. This nylon string made me feel stupid.😂

Long video for a long process. I went through 3 sets of strings the first time my classical needed new strings. Then i hit up youtube for a lesson. The method i used was different. The result was good but it left cut ends sticking out from the back of the bridge. The guitar needs new strings again and is sitting in its case until i find a few free hours to change them. Thank you hal for this video

[@quailstudios]

Hi Stanley, great to hear from you again! You're welcome!

[@PK-se2jh]

Thankyou sooo much ❤️❤️❤️

[@LiamEserda]

Hi sir, thanks for this tutorial. Am I right to wind the both E strings to the outside of the headstock and the other strings to the inside?

[@Patricio24601]

Thank you.

[@rahandulcaspatal5276]

Muy bien .explicación muy exacta ..whats your point of view about of new strings tie .i. Ana observé the sadlle compensation on G .its a good tuning? Thank you

[@Shadezman76]

I knew it was different from stringing a steel string, but not this different. Glad I watched and you spent the time to be so thorough. I'm in the market for a classical guitar, but don't want a piece of crap that starts cracking after 5 to 7 years. I couldn't make out what brand of guitar you have here and didn't see it under your description. I'm curious.

[@quailstudios]

This is an Ibanez Andorra model 2862. It was made in 1976. All solid woods. Spruce top, Ebony fingerboard, Mahogany back and sides.

[@darenchanlp]

Sir can you recommend a guitar tuning app. Thank you.

[@quailstudios]

Cleartune is a good app. $3.99 It's my favorite, especially for beginners, but it works well for everyone. I used it in this video.

[@darenchanlp]

@@quailstudios Thanks so much.

Never oil a maple fretboard!
