Extremely late but i dont think anyone pointed this out. The tool you used to wind down the tuning pegs is also used to remove the bridge pins. The end with the little "C" cutout is used to slip under the bridge pins on the top of the bridge. Once it's under one of them just put your thumb on top of the pin and pull and it will come right out.

@KaptainCanuck Год назад

Strings must wind down the tuning pegs. It takes tension off the top and puts it nearer the headstock where there is strength. Also, those strips of metal are officially called fretwires. The frets are the spaces of the fretboard between the fretwires. What you called the bottom of the guitar is the top because they are the highest strings (the top is the bottom and vice versa).

@SethCottengim Год назад

This is all very very good advice thank you. Everyone listen to captain kanuck

@KaptainCanuck Год назад

@@SethCottengim the colloquial name used for fretwires is also 100% wrong, whether naysayers like it or not, based on historical records that can be found is looked for.

@eliasthehuman 9 месяцев назад

i always go above the first time around below every other time so it catches the string on the first one but it still gets a good angle because it goes down towards the headstock at the end

Great video! Would you be able to make a video comparing the 12 string with this tuning versus having it with the 2nd set of strings an octave up. It'd be cool to see if it's possible to do both folk and corridos with a tuning

@SethCottengim Год назад

This part way answers your question. One of the most popular songs as of recently was Jugaste Y Sufri. That was played on a 12 string with octaves. Also a lot of Danny Lux songs use octaves. SO yes there is a very real possibility to do folk and corridos

@gabrielfrager4928 9 месяцев назад

It said on the takamine website that they recommended taking the guitar to file the nut to give space for the string gauge for requinto . Because the strings are a bit bigger than what the traditional 12 String is set up for. Is this true or can I be good to set up my guitar from stock with the original nut set up straight to requinto or should I take it to the shop to get the nut filed for a better string fit?

An issue I ran into with this is that my takamine’s nut does not fit two of the same strings. Octave slot is to thin. So if anyone has that issue make sure to take it to a guitar luthier so they can file your nut and get ur guitar ready for the extra tension

@SethCottengim 8 месяцев назад

So I took a little bit of sand paper to the nut of my guitar to make it fit, BUT I only did a tiny tiny bit cuz I didn’t want to do some kind of irreversible damage. I recommend you take it to a luthier for sure, but if you are willing to take the risk… a couple passes with sand paper in the slot just enough so the string doesn’t slip out can “work”

You would have to. The thicker gauge of the paired string, will not fit into the thinner slot of the octave string slot that the nut was made for.

What if the nut on your 12 string guitar is set for the octave string gauges?

@natedistasio2791 10 месяцев назад

If i had to take a guess id say you need to have a new nut added or carve out the smaller octave grooves to fit bigger strings. Whether you're good enough to do it yourself or have to take it to a luthier, that'd be my best guess

@synysterkatz6911 3 месяца назад

Let it be known if you see this before you start, some pegs are different size and supposed to on certain strings, I got to my low E string and realized that the last peg was way to big to fit with the thickest string.

If you’re playing corridos then it’s best to get two sets of 6 strings but it’s entirely preference

You could get an octave set from Elixir or do what most do which is run pairs on your guitar. Two pairs of 6 strings. I use Elixir 10|47 strings for pairs - here is a link to the exact ones sweetwater.sjv.io/Kj29mx

Is it ok to put medium gauge 80/20 strings on a 12 string?

@TheeArtist23 2 месяца назад

It is. But the recommendation is to tune the guitar to a drop D standard tuning to keep the tension low. Tuning all of those strings to standard tuning puts a Lot of tension on the guitar. If you tune to standard,use a light gauge

You don’t have to pop out the pegs from the inside. The other end of the tool.(the little u shape) Use that to loosen the pegs from the top. Just slide the u shape around the head of the peg and it’ll pop out.

I took my guitar to a music shop near my, I asked for them to restring my 12 string guitar with 2 packs of 6 string. They said they couldn’t do that because the bridge wouldn’t support it and it would just snap or something, they also said the strings wouldn’t feet in between the little holes just below the head, can you help me out here, are they right? If so how do I modify my 12 string to support 2 packs of 6 strings. Thanks. EDIT: I was just informed even with very low gauge strings I would have to file down the nuts to fit the strings, is this true?

@SethCottengim 11 месяцев назад

I guess it depends on the guitar but I haven't had any problems. The bridge can support standard, but not reliably. That's why I tune down to D 🙂

Why not use a regular pack of 12 strings?

@slatt162 2 месяца назад

the 12 string guitars are by octaves (it has the same 6 strings as a normal guitar but then has 6 other strings that are thinner but are a higher octave of the other) but it’s just preference. But for corridos/regional mexican music, using paired strings (2 packs of the same 6 strings) give u a better sound (fuller sound) while the octaves give u a brighter sound. And also obviously he only puts one string on the 6 chords bc if u put both 6th chords it will have way too much tension and it will crack the guitars neck and sometimes raise the bridge up.
