Next time I buy some strings I'll be sure to check out your products. It's always nice to support the little guy! One note.... Phil: Rotating machines + long hair is not a great combo. Might want to consider a ponytail during work. I got my hair caught in a drill once. Wasn't my favorite day.

I really wanna some of those machines filmed with a high speed camera. Seeing a string being wound in super slow-mo would look dope.

I wanted to try Stringjoy for some slide guitar strings but didn't know what to get, emailed support (they have a form as well) and they were super nice. Ended up snagging two custom sets. Def can feel the difference in play style. 10/10, would recommend.

I absolutely appreciate the craftsmanship and expertise shown here. A broken string will never look the same to me ever again.

There's a distinct This Old House vibe to this one, and it's really cool. More like this, Rhett. Great job.

Scott talks so fast I had to turn my play speed down a notch.

Millions of hours spent worrying about differences between different clones of TS overdrives - yet people hardly ever thik about experimenting with their strings and the significant differences it makes to your tone and feel. Experimenting with custom strings especially can really nail a great feel & tone for a player

45 years of playing, I use Ernie Ball sets on my electric and electro acoustics, must be at least 20 years that I settled on these, 9's on the electrics and 10's on the electro acoustics. When I had bass guitars I used Rotosound swing bass 66's.

Strings on electric guitars do NOT have "significant" differences in tone. It's just typical guitarist BS. There's countless examples on KZread of players and engineers failing blind testing of strings by ear.

@@davidchavez4464 Custom gauges where you use find a mix of string sizes that works best for you & a particular guitar. For example 10 - 46 is a very standard spread of string sizes, but some people feel not quite sure between a 9 - 42 & a 10 - 46. Experimenting with a custom 9.5 - 44 pack such as 9.5 - 13 - 16 - 24 - 34 - 44 is a great option (and this is actually my favourite custom gauge set)

Great advice from Scott on mixing string gauges. I used to try and keep all guitars on similar strings. I now deliberately have some on 8s, 9s and 10s. I think it has improved my technique to be able to swap between gauges and not over bend etc

@@Diax1324 Yeah same, at first I was like I will only play my band songs on the only guitar I use for practice and shows lol, now it's more like what kind of mood am I in My main two I go between often are a Tele (25.5 of course) and a Mustang (24) and now that I'm used to switching around, I enjoy how they make me play differently

It’s no coincidence that I chose Stringjoy, but for a few good reasons.The sound is number 1, but the fact they individually air seal them is amazing, and the you can build your own set. The owner sounds like he generally cares about his product is a bonus. Thanks guys, amazing work!

Scott knows his shit! I'm certainly be checking Stringjoy out. Really impressive knowledge and attitude towards production (and customers!)

My favorite strings besides Earnie ball! I carry them at my store in Wilmington, NC and we sell out all the time.

Couple of years ago, Scott set me up with a custom set for my open g tuned guitar. With that act of customer service, Scott and Stringjoy made a customer for life. Great product and service.

I've been happiest with Curt Mangan round core Pure Nickel for a long time now. Great strings!

Been playing for 26+ years and this was amazingly educational. That business owner is a genius with strings! I’ll have to check them out. Thanks for sharing!

I just filled out their questionnaire for my Gibson ES 335 DOT that I play in open G for a custom set of strings. You have inspired me to pick up my guitar playing again after a 5 year hiatus by showing me a whole new perspective I had become blind to. For the first time in years I feel like the fire in me has been lit again thanks to your videos. Thank you.

Me too. I discovered Stringjoys and have been inspired to play again after a long time in their cases. Having a PRS & Slash Les Paul in my closet, what a shame. My first order from SJoy will be here in a few days. Balanced 10-48 Signature nickel wound.

So much goes into making strings, yet I know so many people who refuse to pay more than $5 a pack. It seems silly as it's the part of the guitar that we are constantly contacting and intimate with, but people are willing to cheap out on them. They control a huge part of our sound and tone and don't gather the respect that they deserve. Great video. Love Stringjoy Strings.

That machinery is pretty fascinating... as is the whole process. Thanks for taking us along for the adventure, Rhett!

Been playing Stringjoy strings for a few months now and I don't want to go back to anything else! I could watch Scott talk about strings all day, he has a seemingly infinite supply of string knowledge.

I thought this was going to be a bit boring and was ready to skip through, but how wrong was I? Fascinating, just fascinating. Thanks to you and to Scott and his team for this eye-opener 👍👍

Once again, didn't expect to care about how strings are made and now I'm fascinated. Great video, and seemingly the perfect guy to describe guitar strings because he knows his stuff.

As someone who’s just started switching up scale lengths by going Fender to Gibson and has been keeping guitars in alternate tunings this was SO INTERESTING! Thanks Rhett

Consider trying the same gauge..the tension ratio between strings and size difference may not be worth it to do special sets for each...the extra slinkyness is part of the Gibson sound and feel anyways...jimmy page used 8-38...just food for thought!!

@desmondmyers

2 жыл бұрын

Psyfonify I’m in love with exactly what you’re talking about! The slinky “effortless” feel on my Gibson is just addicting. I still go back to my Strat and Tele and in fact I appreciate them even more but they are just a lot stiffer. Def going down a string gauge on those guys.

@@desmondmyers Heheh, they named em ernie ball "slinkys" and not "stiffies" for a reason, back in the day, fender had a "rock set" that was 8-38! Slinkyness was all the rage

It’s funny, the ad at the start was for D’Addario (which is what I’ve played for years). It’s like they know…

Stringjoy is amazing. They're changing the game. D'addario will always have my heart, as you can buy them literally anywhere there is a guitar for sale.

Scott's small/medium/large shoe size analogy really sold me on testing some different sizes.

Really love this tour and the time spent w/ the crew there. Just recently ordered my first strings form Stringjoy: I screwed up a restring some time ago, left me with a half-set; ordered replacements (including a wound G over the usual plain (Dunlop Heavy Core)) & I’ll be putting them on as soon as I can make room for my work table. I moved to heavier strings years ago - my hand/finger strength automatically sharps a thinner string (and bending just breaks them - yeah, I’m not very good)…but the *sound* of the heavier gauge on my Tele is just so rich, I’m hooked. Thanks again, ‘preciate what you do,enjoy your channel

This is excellent. I always complain about the cost of strings, but seeing the manual labor that goes into the production explains the cost. Really appreciate you taking this tour and bringing the info.

They don’t require this much “labor” nor do they benefit from it. This is really a bullshit company.

I love this behind the scenes style video, Thanks for the upload!

Loved this. So interesting to see what goes into making strings. Would love to see more content like this.

Thank you, Rhett. Keep excelling and exceeding. It's cool to be along for the ride. 😁👍

Thank you Rhett! Love the Stringjoy strings. This is awesome to see the machines at work. What a wonderful video! Cheers to you and the guys at Stringjoy!! 🤘🎸

Love both your channels. What a collab!

I'm sticking with this brand. Absolutely love the ethic. Us guitarists needed this! Anyone ever try hybridized nickel/nickel covered steel? I wonder if it could balance out a guitars tone.

Scott is the man! Always very responsive and helpful regarding string gauge choices and custom sets.

I use a custom set I made for open D. Slightly smaller 4th and 5th strings to make the tension even across the neck.

This was fascinating, thank you Rhett and all at Stringjoy.

These have been my favorite strings for some time now. I bought them initially to get a set of heavy-bottoms for my 8 string, and loved them so much that I stuck them on my other 2 guitars.

LOVE STRINGJOY! Best strings I’ve ever used. Thanks for the video

Thank you Rhett, that was excellent!

Very educational and very interesting from start to finish. Thanks!!

Thanks for this one. I've been very interested in seeing how this was done. I tried a set of String Joy solid nickel Broadway's about a year ago on an ES-175 kit guitar I built because I wanted something a bit more slinky. I loved them and started buying their Signatures for everything else.

This was amazing- totally concise and transparent explanation of a process that I never knew much about.

Thanks for the info. Will be checking them out

Quite informative. I’ve used their strings for a couple of years since a recommendation from my local shop. Significant upgrade in something I had rarely considered in the past.

Scott won my business through all the education he does on the web site and KZread channel. And they’ve kept it by delivering a great product. Glad to hear they’re experimenting with flat-wounds, because I’d love to put their strings on my Jazzmaster that I keep flat-wounds on.

You always have really nice and informative information on this channel I really appreciate all you do for us thank you very much.

Nice to see a guy like Scott that knows his stuff inside and out, and all the intricacies of the operation! Might have to try these guys out on my next string order.

Love my Stringjoys! Trying lots of different gauges is great advice.

Super informative! Also great to see real craftsmen at work and explaining what they do.

I love Stringjoy strings! Been using them last 2 years or so.... so good! And still hand written thank you card! Love that monthly package and their picks are great too!

I always love the content you put out... However, this was AMAZINGLY informative! Especially when you went into custom sets with Scott. that has always been a mystery to me. As soon as he said "open tuning", it totally made sense... Thanks so much

Very cool video about a very overlooked topic! Great job!

Great tour and explanations!

Great video and these guys are so cool I will be looking at their strings. I have, except perhaps the year or so, always been happy to spend more on guitar strings as you really feel the difference. To me it is like the difference between cooking with fresh ingredients against tinned.

I LOVE your guitar!. Make &Model? Great video, thanks!

Very cool video - fascinating to watch their process. I like this small shop approach I will be ordering some of their strings to give them a shot - love their craftman approach to a very specific but surprisingly diverse product range!

Learned a lot, thanks for taking us on the tour.

Great strings and support! I’ve been using Stringjoy on my acoustic guitars for the past year, none better! The support person was very helpful in helping me get the tone I was looking for. Thanks for the tour!

I really enjoyed this! Thanks Rhett!

very cool stuff, this is so worthwhile - thanks for doing it!

Oh, I am nerding the F#$% out of this! That tour was absolutely _fantastic!_ 🤘🍻

That was really, really informative. Thank you.

That was a lot of fun! Very informative..... I learned something, which is always good. Maybe have to try some String Joy strings.

WOW, thank you. I love the ability to get great gear from great people. These guys seem to work out the details without corporatizing the whole thing. They mean to get it done without glazing. Superb.

more dope sauce from Rhett. Great content. I've never heard of stringjoy before this vid...will def check them out.

Love is a strong word when talking about strings, but I really lovelike Stringjoy. Best sounding and best feeling string I have tried (35 years) and they last a really long time. Great video….

Great questions Rhett.

Really cool video. I retained more than I thought I would. 👍

This was very informative! Y have used stringjoy and loved it! I use 11's and to me it's the perfect balance

Fascinating. Just ordered a set of the heavy bottom 10s for my LP. I live in Australia and luckily found a stockist here in Melbourne. Cant wait to try them.

This was a cool look at how strings are made, thanks for sharing!

Haha!! I commented on your guitar strings gauge video a couple days ago about an update… and you put this out today!! Yes!!!

Really interesting video, cheers, Rhett

Thanks for sharing this. I'm a balanced tension string lover on 5-string bass. While I don't normally play nickel wounds, I ordered a set to try them out since they let me build a custom set.

This was an amazing education on strings and definitely going to check them out.

Far out what a cool video man! Changing how I think about my string set up now 😅

Very informative I already watched a footage of Stringjoy, seems to be a great company. If I remember well Joey Landreth is having is own custom set in Strinjoy for his Open C tuning

Thanks Brett, heal quickly and do all the PT!

Cool, this is one of those things that as a guitar player always wanted to see!

Thank you Rhett, that was great.

Always wondered, now I know... Thanks Rhett and Stringjoy

Tbh I see their ad in insta all the time but never click to check them out. Good thing I have you as my personal guitar stuff recommender guy.

I love this content, the only channel that talks about strings explain and how it is made.

Very cool to see the process. I love my stringjoys

Cool vid, thanks! Making me think about stuff I never thought I needed to think about...I think.

Thanks! Very cool. I already have a list. I was talking to my family at a reunion and you could physically see their eyes glaze over…..Here, hear! Look at the winder!

Fascinating stuff. I've been a user of Gabriel Tenoro strings for a while. So worth the price when I think about balance and tension, longevity and tone.

Killer video Rhett, thanks.

That was very cool. Definitely food for thought.

I love my stringjoy, all sets outlast a year in playability

Great content Rhett! Love the field trip vibe of this :)

NYXL is my jam! Thanks for all the info...... I'll have to give a set of Stringjoys a go on the next round.

So rad you stopped by dude! This is great!

Great job on this video. Who knew that this could be interesting??? I definitely want to try out their strings now and found a local seller on their site.

Excellent video!

WOW! when you already kind of nerd out on strings already - then you see that you are just putting a toe in the shallow end of this glorious nerdom that is this video! love it!

been using stringjoy for years now. love their stuff!

Super Cool! I’ll check them out.

This was very good. I subscribed!

You should have a "008 days since eye poked out by a string" sign on the wall there at the factory.

Great to see a detailed manufacturing process, kudos!! I ordered strings too, lol.
