Gotoh Mini-locking Tuners: How to w/ Tips

Описание: These tuners are found on some fairly high-end guitars like Tom Anderson (early 2000's) & Friedman guitars (~2019). I really love these, but they can be confusing at first and typically don't come w/ instructions. I didn't drive it home enough in the video but keep stretching the strings until they stop loosing pitch. That makes all the difference w/ these.

Michael Nielson's video on these:    • How to change strings on Friedman Vintage ...  
(he makes way better videos than I do)

Removing Old Strings
1. Pull string back from tuning gear.
2. Turn tuner clockwise until string automatically releases.
3. Cut string in half and pull out of body. *

Do not release tension of all strings on X-bridge trem guitar. Bridge may snap back and damage finish!

Installing new strings
1. Pull string tight through bridge hole
2. Pull string through tuner hole leaving no slack in the string.
3. Turn tuner counter-clockwise, tuner will automatically pinch and tighten string. (We recommend using a string winder)
4. Tighten to pitch.
5. Cut string ends as close as possible to tuner.
6. Stretch strings by holding string down at first fret and stretching the string with other hand.
7. Tighten to pitch again.
