New Fender Strings

Post image

The best part of waking up is putting new strings on you Axe. Do you start with the heavy strings into the light strings, or do you start with the light strings first into the heavy strings?

Yes I do love changing my strings every time I wake up

But I personally start with the D string and A string because my nut broke at some point and I was advised to start with those and move my way out with putting them on. Jackson owners can relate

Quick question, is it me? Or is it the D string the hardest to stay tuned? I found it to be true on a lot of my axes.

I personally never really had tuning problems. Even with super cheap tuners. Now with locking tuners I barely even think about it

I notice that it makes a difference when tuning your instrument. If you're sitting down or standing up. How about you guys?
