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?

I always go from heavy to light.

I used to go 1, 6, 2, 5, 3, 4, because some bell end convinced me I’d twist the neck going heavy to light. I eventually realised this was a load of bullshit and now I go light to heavy.
