Thank you for this tutorial Cesar! I'm gonna buy (as a beginner) a classical guitar next week and was searching on KZread for restringing for when it's necessary. Have watched some others vids too but watched yours for a couple of times to make sure this one will stick in my head because it seems the most logic and best way. Thanks and hope you will play for many years!

Superb method for securing the strings around the tuning peg's barrels! Great video showing the correct way! This is absolutely the best method for Flamenco and classical strings, all other methods on KZread will produce inferior results for staying in tune (I've been playing guitar for 35 years, and I am so glad to have learned this method).

Many thanks Cesar for great info to us all. Restringing your guitar is a time for contemplation, for loving your instrument, and this feeling is very evident in your video. If one wishes to use an easier choice for soaking the fret-board - yes, as you say, indeed this is important - pure baby oil is great, a paraffin-oil substrate, possibly at that caressing the surface with 0000 finest steel wool. If the oil is OK with the baby's bum then it's OK with your next dearest family member - not quite so with the steel wool, needless to say.

thank you so much for producing this video.

Tnhks!

About the saddle part. I saw a video in which the guy installed the strings in such a way and in such a string order that when he was done, they were all tucked neatly into each other behind the saddle so that no string "ends" were even seen by the eye. It looks beautiful. BUT when a string breaks, because each string is "connected' to the next string behind the saddle, you will have to reloosen the string that ties with the broken string to replace the broken one, and then you have to retighten the other string. Now, the tricky part in using the way i saw is remembering the order in which you strung the guitar because it's important to know which string is tied under each other string's knot. And the reason for this method is to have no string ends showing. When it's done, it almost looks like embroidery behind the saddle. You could slide a finger along the back of the saddle and you won't feel any knots that could prick your skin.

Respect your work 💼

Hi Cesar! Thanks for this video that came so handy to me as my nylon string guitar is needing new strings and I completely forgot what I did last time I changed the strings. ... now I'm gonna do it the right way! Un abrazo! By the way very good the recommendation on the string tension.!

Hi ! so i was wondering why mine was buzzing and then after your video i noticed that the dude at the store let the strings extensions touching the board while changing them ! i thought it was my guitar that was weird...thanks a bunch for the tips so ill do it myself next time. Also he didnt tie the 4, 5 and 6 strings the same way he tied the nylon, do i have to redo them ?

My 1st string bridge slot starting to widen its hole above, is it possible bridge would break

Hi Cesar, I don't have a classical guitar but still enjoy your videos. I do agree with you and I also use a cloth for applying the oil to the fretboard and for the same reason. Don't you stretch the strings? Looks a complicated job of stringing I'll stick to my locking tuners. 😉🎸😉

So I can slip paper under the back side of my bridge in two places. Basically right around the area of the actual thicker portion of the bridge where the strings are. It's solid in the middle and ends. This is a seventies "Starfield" made in Japan classical. Admittedly a lower end model...but pretty nice compared to cheaper entry level classicals of today. . Is this a death knell or can it be fished without too much expense?

Hi there! I don't like them particularly speaking. They are good for strumming and classical when you do not need to use triplets or as we call it in classical music, tremolo with the index, medium and ring finger. When you need to be quick, they are not good either - but this is personal preference of course. Thanks for watching!
