Changing Strings on a 12-String Acoustic Guitar 

Time to change the strings on my Takamine 12-string acoustic/electric!
Wanted to try a little something different, so I figured I'd invite y'all into my studio to hang while I perform a long overdue restringing.
Starting from the removal of the old strings, to the cleaning and wiping down of the guitar, to the unpackaging of the strings, the restringing itself, then to the tuning and testing it out on a few recognizable 12-string tunes, I tried to capture the whole process. I took the liberty of speeding up select areas that were basically redundant. While wire clippers were noted in the beginning of the video, they were not used during the video. These are of course for cutting the excess string lengths off after the strings are all installed and brought to proper tension. You can also use them if you prefer to cut your old strings off. That choice is entirely up to you...
