This is the best tutorial on changing acoustic strings I’ve seen. When I first started changing my strings there were a lot of things I never learned from the tutorials and you didn’t miss any of those details. I wish I had watched this one first to save me from all my bad setups and the anxiety inducing moments I had tuning my guitar and feeling everything was about to explode. Great job!

Loved how you broke down everything how to tune a guitar and how to change your strings. Taught myself everything on the guitar I play by ear always would pay to have my strings change and it would cost so much. After watching your video I changed my strings today on my guitar sounds 100% better and all I had to do was paid for my strength thank you for such a great video keep jamming on and making great videos

When tuning, I use my free hand to cover my eyes😂

Thanks, PDC for the tips. Your style is incomparable as always.

Thanks! I've seen a few vids on acoustic restringing, but you are the first to explain how to correctly set the bridge pins so they won't easily pop out. Now I know:)

Another very informative video. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge to all of us

Hey great tutorial and lovely detailed explanations. I've recently gotten more hands on with my guitars and started restringing and doing maintenance myself instead of taking it to a luthier whenever i need something done. I had terrible problems with my last restring on my Maton acoustic guitar I use brass pins and they kept relentlessly wanting to pop out. your tutorial has filled me with confidence, thanks so much.!

Thx a lot, Perfecto!! We tried different tutorials and tips, but your video was the one that saved us! lol... my best wishes. Greetings from Mexico!

Helpful tips as always from the master. Highly recommended for newbies and advanced players may still learn something new.

Very comprehensive. Good job.

Thank you Maestro Perf!

This is the perfect tuning video, thank you so much! I had problems with the ball end breaking until I watched this and now I have 0 issues with that!

Bro perfectlo you are really good in guitar and music. Awesome talent. God bless..

tnx idol it's very helpful

At last. Thank you. I’ve been using a method for inserting the strings and bridge pins that I learned from a Taylor Guitar video in which the (otherwise excellent) luthier does it so quickly and expertly that he has forgotten over the years what he is really doing and why. He says ‘string - pin - pull’ and appears to be pushing the bridge pin all the way down before pulling hard on the string. But when I went back and slowed it down I could see he was doing what you recommend - but so quickly and with such perfect timing that it looks like the pin is all the way down before he pulls. But it isn’t (and he doesn’t say anything about that subject). It just goes to show that being expert at something does not necessarily make you a good teacher. You are an excellent teacher, as well as being an expert.

Such heavenly sounding guitar

Thanks for the tutorial idol♥️♥️

Awesome sir

Thank u sir perf!!!

I love this tutorial the most. I am new to guitar and have changed my strings twice. I changed them for the first time by watching a Fender video and changed the second time by learning from this video. I liked this method more because it locks the string end on the neck and it doesn't require trimming the string ends before winding and which makes winding much easier. The only thing I would change here is that for strings #5 and #6, I would leave a slack of 1.5 x pegs instead of 2 x pegs. When I left 2x slack on the #6 string, the string was overlapping when tuned and I had to unwind the string and leave 1.5x slack and rewind and this is where not trimming the strings was helpful.

Sir perf: winding strings, eyes wide open, relax. Me: installing strings, starting to tighten while trying to put my head and my face away the guitar and wanted to wear a helmet. Putting cloth into the fret board incase every thing goes wrong and very nervous.

Thanks master

Great vid.!!! from a man who knows when to use "fewer".

nice tutorial

I like your guitar it's very pretty

Salamat po hehehe marunung narin ako mag change ng strings 🙂

Amazing

sir perf! can you kindly do a video for your preferred/review of pedals and amps for acous-elec please. #appreciateit! ☺👌🤘

Sir perf. Ganda po ng tip nyo regarding sa pagpalit ng string sa acoustic. Sir meron sana ako request kung gagawa kayo ulit ng video sa acoustic. Sa bagong acoustic guitar. Ano po ba maadvice nyo para mapababa yung action? Advisable po ba na galawin ang truss rod para mabago ang action? Salamat sir perf. More videos to come. More power

Just put your hand into the guitar and adjust the end ball to the right place. Do it with all 6 strings and then go take them to the tuner machines one by one and tune it. If the Pin and the ball in the right place it still lift the pin up a little so when you tune up the guitar check and push back the pins from time to time ;)

Ganda ng gitara mo sir. Sana po setting custom action naman next vid.

Ang galing mo po idol

idol sana gumawa ka naman ng tutorial sa pag gamit ng effects

Galing nyopo talaga 15 palang po ako na aamaze napo ako talaga

Just love it...

Eargasmic tone!

Galing pare. Taga saan ka? De Castro din ako from Sta.Cruz manila. Salamat sa share

Thank you po Sir sa tips. Pwede po ba tungkol naman sa pag equalize ng Guitar Amp. salamat po

Equalize sa guitara maganda kapag may reverb ang guitar amp. Mo napaka importante ang reverb.. ito ay nag papabigat ng tugtug at nag papaganda sa tunog ng guitara.. kung acoustoc gamit mo wag na mag lagay ng echo. Reverb lang. Ibaba mo ng kaunti ang Mid. Para hindi ma ingay i kasaks ang acoustic..

I never realized I’ve been installing strings on my acoustic incorrectly for the past 2 years😂 thanks for the tutorial!

Sir is possible to use lemon oil with the matte finish acoustic guitar and is it recommendable to detune the guitar while not in use? Thanks Godbless

Great video Perf... One thing you have forgotten to tell is checking the truss rod of the guitar to see if its perfectly align. Overall, absolutely brilliant video. Cheers! JB

Goodday Sir Perf! Is there a way you can do a content about "how to look for" fake or counterfeit accstc guitar strings if theres any? Im planing to restring mine and i dont want my hard earnd money go to waste. Salamat!

Can i use foam cleaner to clean the fretboard?

Thank you for this great tutorial. My low-E string bridge pin can't get fully seated - no matter what I try, it is a shade higher than the rest. I can hear buzzing from the Low-E bridge pin area when the other strings are played, especially the D and low-E. Is this a common problem?

Try changing the bridge pins around. On older guitars they wear according to the string they're used with and most times we just take the bridge pins out and reinstall them in random order.
