I don’t usually comment on TH-cam, but this has really helped me. I bought a tele with vintage tuners last year and I’ve really hated them as I thought you had to wrap the string round the post first… cue lots of tantrums. This has clarified the process, thank you!
Having restrung a few guitars yesterday, this was relevant. Vintage tuners were so much easier to do! For B string I wrap down round the E post and then back the B post; E string I measure round the post and up to the G post. Gotta keep that gap of 2 pegs :)
I just replaced the PoS slotted tuners with Fender locking tuners with a hole in the middle of the post. Now I can set a luthier's knot on the strings, and the locks help prevent slippage on the strings, even with tremolo use. Now, my guitar doesn't go out of tune. Best upgrade ever.
I'm with you. I like these vintage tuners too. Good idea to make a video on a fundamental bit of knowledge that everyone should know. Gotta learn the basics.
I love these tuners. I work on my own guitars and ALSO find them to be great if you need to do some work “under the hood” because you don’t need to kill the strings you have on the guitar. Just ease the tension and pop the string out from the top. The shape of the end of the string doesn’t change. Then once you’re done, carefully (so you don’t cross the windings) set the string back into the tuner and relighted to pitch.
Thanks for the video. I've been playing guitar for 35 years an never had vintage tuners. Just got my first set. They are awesome I'm tempted to change all my guitars over
Very timely - just put a “new” neck that came with vintage tuner on my tele yesterday. I didn’t install the strings like this way but now I know. Thanks !
I'm so happy I found this Video, if I didn't I would've bought locking tuners so I don't have to bother with the string change of my new Strat. Saved my 80 bucks thanks!
I've never had vintage style tuners on any of my guitars until I recently pieced a Hendrix strat together and thought why not. Although trying to string them up in a conventional way caused all sorts of problems and frustration. After doing some research on YT, as you said Shane very easy to do string changes! You just have to get that initial kink in the string otherwise they can slip (especially on the unwound strings). Thanks for sharing mate.
It sure helped me after watching your video. The other nice thing about these tuners is, you can take the strings off and put them back on with little trouble. Like if you have to work on your guitar and get the strings out of the way.
I've just done my quickest ever string change with the vintage tuners on my Strat thanks to this brilliant video Shane. I always struggled so much before, especially with the high E popping out of the tuner but not with your method of pulling and holding the strings down. Simply brilliant and now I will be changing my strings more often
usually i tend to leave more string especially on the G in case there only one string tree, that's because more string around the peg helps to keep the string lower and it's a bit like having an invisible string tree. this is particularly helpful for avoiding possible string buzz at the nut, especially if it's not perfectly cut
I LOVE that classic video of BB King replacing a broken string ON STAGE during a PERFORMANCE, and just KEEPS PLAYING THE SONG! I think he was only able to do it because Lucille had old style tuners, and it would have been nearly impossible to manage to do the same thing with more modern tuners??
I hope this video is helpful. I know how much I hated these tuners when I first got them but now they are my favorites. If you do it a different way please feel free to comment. I've subtitled this video in other languages as well if English isn't your first language. The string cutter/wider tool is this one - imp.i114863.net/JrKrqR (Sweetwater Affiliate Link) My strings of choice ► Buy it from Thomann - bit.ly/3fS1l9c
All you need to do for the last two tuners is pinch the string at the tuner in question, then move it back two tuners and cut where the string meets the tuner you are attaching it to, bingo there is your length measurement.
You know what video I've never seen; how feed your strings through the back of a Squier strat. The bridge block is magnetic, which makes it difficult to push through.
@@caseyspaos448 Tremolo bridge blocks aren't magnetically charged. In fact, zinc and brass blocks cannot hold a magnetic charge. If you've found that strings sometimes get stuck while feeding them through a trem block, it's probably because the tip of the string is jamming against a protrusion of material in the cavity.
Thank you for this video! I’m one with a MIM Strat & have been looking at it all wrong. Had a ‘95 Jimmy Vaughan & didn’t like the vintage tuners at all but your video just changed the entire approach to ‘em. Thanks again!!!
On the last 2 strings, I pinch the string and slide it back 2 pegs, then pinch it again when you're even with the tuner. Although I like a little extra length on the G for and extra wind or two down the peg. Helps me with my tuning stability.
Great video, horrible tuners! Hahaha. I hate to be a negative Nancy here but oh my God, , just bought a Fender Vintera Telecaster, first time changing the strings , the first 3 strings are thicker so they popped out a little but I got them to stay in and hold properly. The G string wouldn't stay in, I would wind it, get tension on it, string it around the peg 3 times and it would pop out over and over and over, same with the B and high E strings. Finally got the G string in, only way I could get it to hold somehow was by turning the tuning peg the opposite direction. What a nightmare, changing strings for over an hour and only have 4 strings on.
I restring exactly the same way - it's pure logic (I didn't get shown but maybe Brian S said to pre cut them) and yes I've always loved the vintage tuners. It also gave me the confidence to pre cut my strings when restringing all my other guitars - nylon and bass excepted.
I wish I'd seen this last week when I first changed the strings on a guitar with these vintage style tuners. I was struggling and felt I could ahve used another hand. Couldn't understand the point of them, but you've cleared that up. So, the lesson is duly noted for next time, thanks.
Thank you so much have 2 guitars with vintage tuners eric johnson strar 1957 tele esquire reissue 1952 I think both get to the shop for work done i have never changed the strings i also have tooth picks for the b and e cheers
Thanks for this! I'm a beginner and I just changed my tele strings after snapping the B - although mine went in the sides, rather than down the machine heads?.. anyway apart from fighting with the wire cutters I did it! Proud of myself I used ernie ball super slinky 9s so I hope they'll be ok. I love the twangy country pickin' & Waylon Jennings stuff.
Great idea of reversing the head so it renders the view from the right-hander's perspective (Even though I would have still followed it from the Left-Hander's view). I may have started playing in 1962, which it doesn't take a Rocket Scientist to come to the conclusion I'm Retired and have tons of time. I said that to say this...I use an electric screwdriver with one of the winders (like offered by Music Nomad, and D'Addario, not trying to show preference, I just don't recall any more right now...Hey...I'm allowed...I'm an Old F@rt, remember!?!?!?) that you fit in a variable speed electric screwdriver or variable speed drill or screwdrivers like the Snap-On Ratcheting Screwdrivers and just your personal preference of wire cutters. I've tried the stringwinders like Shane is using. I just find the method I just described not only more convenient, but quicker for me. Great Video!!
Handy snip tip, and love the mirror universe! There's vintage tuners stock on my Lead II, I'm very happy to have a Fender guitar back with these tuners since my old Tele long ago. Also a fan of those D'Addario Nickel Wound.
Most people these days just call these 'vintage tuners' but that can confuse some people ('So you mean old tuners?'). Fender originally called them Saf-T Post tuners and they were modelled on Kluson's SAFETI String tuners.
Vintage tuners are the absolute best. They never slip. For the B & E string, I take and fold over the end that goes into the tuner back onto itself about the distance of the depth of that tuner. That gives just a little more bite in the hole for when you start winding.
Thanks buddy great video had my Strat fir a while been chicken to restring it but your video done the trick ended up a real quick easy and cool method thanks again
Good video, just reviewed it as I was looking for a vid to share with someone before they tracked. As a side note, on the high E & B strings, no need to fret on the slack length. (Pun accidental, but left because, well, it’s funny…all you need to do is, pull taught, index it, pull BACK two tuner lengths, and cut at the destination tuner. That gives you your two tuner length, for anyone who is super OCD about this stuff. FWIW, I like a little more length on my uppers, to account for the usually placed string tree on Fenders. Nice vid.
This is good advice but I'm gone the opposite way and given up on the vintage tuners I have on my Vintera. The high-E is an absolute nightmare. I've just order myself a set of locking tuners and will be replacing the vintage ones.
Thanks man, I recently bought some Grover replacements for a blonde, Epiphone Casino (the Chinese version) and was a little worried about how to string these up; I really appreciate the instruction. Thx!
"best tuner style invented". Man.. If you think that this system is better than the locking nut(not with a F. Rose necessarily) , or locking tuner. Ok. I Guess im crazy 🤣. I never thought that i could read such a bold phrase.
Awesome...I've been using the 2 tuner spacing since '89. Us lefties are allright lol. Love the channel Shane been a fan for years. Love the keys to the store series...truly hope it becomes a regular. So much fun! Stay safe and keep having fun!
Hi Shane, today I'm putting a Seymour Duncan little '59 in the bridge of my Squier classic vibe '60's stratocaster and strings. Something I should've done a long time ago. I should've bought it that way. Thanks for the string install even though I had it down. Peace 🕊️
Sorry Shane, appreciate the effort but this is impossible! I just can't get the sting to hold still while trying to do that "locking" thing where you pull the string away from the headstock and then do something (I can't quite figure what) to wind what's left under itself? Is that basically it or have I misunderstood something? I'm recently functionality blind in my right eye which probably doesn't help lol! Either that or dementia is setting in early... Help! And. Cheers as always for all your hard work
I'm a lefty and a telecaster nut and my newer tele came with the fender di cast tuners so I removed and replaced with split shaft tuners. I actually prefer them to locking tuners to be honest as they are so simple to use and the best thing is if you need to take off a string for some reason they hold the shape of the peg and pop back in.
Thank you for this. Ive always had gibsons and epiphones so ive never dealt with these tuners before. I wasted 2 sets of strings before i found this video.
Geez, this just increases my frustration. I do exactly the same thing and the end ALWAYS comes out of the tuner. I end up holding it in w stick matches or flat tooth picks. Am I pressing down on on the string too hard w my thumb ? Thats the only thing I can think of. .... BTW for the B and E to get it 2 tuners longer, just grab it at the tuner its going in w your thumb and finger , then go back 2 tuners w the grab, then cut it at the tuner its going into.
Thank you so much. You have saved me 20 minutes of time and zero swearing.

I pick these vintage style tuners over everything. cool vid!
I recommend getting a quality pair of side cutters. Thanks for sharing!
Been doing this wrong/badly for 20 years. Thanks!
Thank you! Superb tuners - this is a great improvement on other styles.
Thanks so much for this. I kinda hated these tuners but this system is so simple I wish I’d seen it earlier. Makes life much easier!
Thanks for the video. I've been playing guitar for 35 years an never had vintage tuners. Just got my first set. They are awesome I'm tempted to change all my guitars over
Just bought a 60's Fender Strat (vintage series) and had to watch this to figure how to restring it properly, thank you so much!
That's exactly how I string my guitars. I love the vintage tuners!
Very timely - just put a “new” neck that came with vintage tuner on my tele yesterday. I didn’t install the strings like this way but now I know. Thanks !
Where did you get the neck.
I'm so happy I found this Video, if I didn't I would've bought locking tuners so I don't have to bother with the string change of my new Strat. Saved my 80 bucks thanks!
I have 2 tele's and a strat. all 3 have these. one of the tele's also has the staggered height, and i love those even more.
The Staggered ones are good. But you can also wind the string all the way to the bottom and get the same effect on a regular tuner.
I've never had vintage style tuners on any of my guitars until I recently pieced a Hendrix strat together and thought why not. Although trying to string them up in a conventional way caused all sorts of problems and frustration. After doing some research on YT, as you said Shane very easy to do string changes! You just have to get that initial kink in the string otherwise they can slip (especially on the unwound strings). Thanks for sharing mate.
My favourite tuner. I cut two and a half lengths for the first two wound strings then two lengths for all others.
very VERY nice quick video; been playing for years and never seen a vintage style tuner before. Good stuff Shane; really helped me with my telecaster
Perfect timing! Just about to change strings on my Squier Classic Vibe 50s tele. I've done it before but a refresher video really helps. Thanks!!!
Thank you man, needed this for the third time that i have ever switched strings, and the first time for vintage pegs.
I just got an American performer tele with this style of tuners. My first with this style so your video came at the perfect time! Thanks Shane!
It sure helped me after watching your video. The other nice thing about these tuners is, you can take the strings off and put them back on with little trouble. Like if you have to work on your guitar and get the strings out of the way.

Thank you Shane. Both of these videos have been very helpful.
You helped me a lot. I did not pull the string back enough. Now it works better.
I LOVE that classic video of BB King replacing a broken string ON STAGE during a PERFORMANCE, and just KEEPS PLAYING THE SONG!
I think he was only able to do it because Lucille had old style tuners, and it would have been nearly impossible to manage to do the same thing with more modern tuners??
Plenty of people do this with modern tuners. No string cutting required

Have you seen the Kluson Supreme tuners in your neck of the woods? They're vintage style, but have an 18:1 ratio, so they're a little more precise.
Great vid, have two guitars with this style of tuner and I do prefer them.
All you need to do for the last two tuners is pinch the string at the tuner in question, then move it back two tuners and cut where the string meets the tuner you are attaching it to, bingo there is your length measurement.

These vintage tuners on redneF and Fender guitars are brilliant! So easy and quick to restring.

Good idea to use the case as your workbench. I never thought to do that.
This video brings back memories to that first video of yours that instructed me. lol
I'm restoring a 2007 MIM Strat and I just put vintage split post tuners in it. I had to get 10mm to 6mm adapters, but they look great now.
Flippin, flip ... finally got the B string but the high E is giving me hell. Can't seem to keep the end of the string from popping out.
The place at 2:00 in is SO important! Oh boy I messed this up at first - you have to apply tension or the dang string will pop out.
Shane i was still using that old video the first couple times i restrung my 50s classic vibe. Great stuff man thanks
I agree there are one of the most stable tuners unless you go too locking tuners they are my favorite tuners Great Video.
Great video. I did my head in last week trying for the first time on vintage tuners.
Thank you so much have 2 guitars with vintage tuners eric johnson strar 1957 tele esquire reissue 1952 I think both get to the shop for work done i have never changed the strings i also have tooth picks for the b and e cheers

Most people these days just call these 'vintage tuners' but that can confuse some people ('So you mean old tuners?'). Fender originally called them Saf-T Post tuners and they were modelled on Kluson's SAFETI String tuners.
I have a tip: press a penny down on the string slot and twist. It works if your having trouble with the string popping out.
Vintage tuners are the absolute best. They never slip. For the B & E string, I take and fold over the end that goes into the tuner back onto itself about the distance of the depth of that tuner. That gives just a little more bite in the hole for when you start winding.
Interesting.... will try that
My e string used to slip so much....... totally frustrating
Thanks buddy great video had my Strat fir a while been chicken to restring it but your video done the trick ended up a real quick easy and cool method thanks again
thanks for the help
Brilliant Tutorial. Just done it very very easy
On the unwound string I do a passover at the slit to lock the string more.
Got this tips from Glaser tele setup video
Good video, just reviewed it as I was looking for a vid to share with someone before they tracked. As a side note, on the high E & B strings, no need to fret on the slack length.

As always, great video Shane!
Best tuner style ever invented IMHO.
i guess I am kind of off topic but does anybody know of a good place to watch new movies online?
@Roman Kaiden i would suggest Flixzone. Just google for it :)
@Roman Kaiden i use Flixzone. You can find it by googling =)
@Roman Kaiden Lately I have been using FlixZone. You can find it on google =)
"best tuner style invented". Man.. If you think that this system is better than the locking nut(not with a F. Rose necessarily) , or locking tuner. Ok. I Guess im crazy 🤣. I never thought that i could read such a bold phrase.
Shane, great video! Enjoy your quick to the point videos. Love these “vintage” tuners.
Nice! This helped out on a partscaster Tele build I just finished. Thanks!
Perfect tutorial, restringing my strat right now!
Awesome...I've been using the 2 tuner spacing since '89. Us lefties are allright lol. Love the channel Shane been a fan for years. Love the keys to the store series...truly hope it becomes a regular. So much fun! Stay safe and keep having fun!
Totally agree vintage tuners are the best! No sharp strings to bite you either
Answered all of my questions. Thank you, and excellent pro tip on the measuring string length
How do you keep the high strings from slipping out the hole? I use a tooth pick, not sure if thats a good idea though
Thank you sir! No more headaches!
You're welcome!
Very helpful video, thanks for posting.
Bugger me! said the lefty viewer from Canada who proceeded to watch the rest of the video in a mirror. Resist, Lefties!!!!! Great demo, Shane!
I totally agree, I can restring both my Strat and Tele (vintage tuners) faster than LP ✌🏼
Doddle, cheers mate!
Just got a nocaster so needed a quick check on how to work these guys 😂
Thanks mate you really helped me out with alot of stress and frustration with these tuners👍🏻
While my guitar gently squeaks, 😁.
Hi Shane, today I'm putting a Seymour Duncan little '59 in the bridge of my Squier classic vibe '60's stratocaster and strings. Something I should've done a long time ago. I should've bought it that way. Thanks for the string install even though I had it down. Peace 🕊️
Sorry Shane, appreciate the effort but this is impossible! I just can't get the sting to hold still while trying to do that "locking" thing where you pull the string away from the headstock and then do something (I can't quite figure what) to wind what's left under itself? Is that basically it or have I misunderstood something?
I'm recently functionality blind in my right eye which probably doesn't help lol! Either that or dementia is setting in early...
Help! And. Cheers as always for all your hard work
I'm a lefty and a telecaster nut and my newer tele came with the fender di cast tuners so I removed and replaced with split shaft tuners. I actually prefer them to locking tuners to be honest as they are so simple to use and the best thing is if you need to take off a string for some reason they hold the shape of the peg and pop back in.
Man! That helped tons. Thanks Shane
Please make video with this tele after string change😊🙏🏻 all about the sound
So helpful! You are awesome!!
Thank you !!! What a mess ive made ...I didn't know what that hole is for in the midle of the pegs daaa 🙃
Thanx again Shane !
Thank you for this. Ive always had gibsons and epiphones so ive never dealt with these tuners before. I wasted 2 sets of strings before i found this video.
Thank you! it was so easy haha
My favorite. Wish I could find some for my Epiphone Les Paul.
I might be wrong but I don't think anybody ever copied these.
I go a little longer on the G string. It doesn't have a string tree so I try to get it as low as I can to get a better angle off the nut.
Thanks, just what I needed..
Thanks for the info. Very useful
Geez, this just increases my frustration. I do exactly the same thing and the end ALWAYS comes out of the tuner. I end up holding it in w stick matches or flat tooth picks. Am I pressing down on on the string too hard w my thumb ? Thats the only thing I can think of. .... BTW for the B and E to get it 2 tuners longer, just grab it at the tuner its going in w your thumb and finger , then go back 2 tuners w the grab, then cut it at the tuner its going into.
You need to kind of pull tension away from the tuner and you'll by sorted. It's a mix of down and away and it should lock it in there nicely.
I do it the same way but Do first All strings through the body to save time.
I'll never forget the first time with the high e. Lmao.
Thanks so much for this, Shane!
Cheers!
Thank you, greatly appreciated!
Thanks... very helpful!
I'm curious if there's a difference wether i wind the string down or up the post?
