- www.nationalgui... Hi all, In this short film I go over how to string up a slotted headstock guitar and tune it up. This is the 7th installment of my Bench Talk series. See over 250 videos on our Pickin Parlor and NationalGuitar.com, the worlds #1 National dealer. The Duolian shown in this video is for sale, email me at info@NationalGuitar.com or call 805-884-0050. Cheers, Lenny G.
Watched a dozen of these, yours is the best demo for slotted head guitar string replacement I’ve seen.
Kenny G. I always return to your video #7 to restring my NR. Thanks for your informative video on the topic!
Forgot to mention how well done your presentation was. Not boring; just easy to follow instructions.
I just got a used Martin 000-15S that needs fresh strings. This is by far the best video! Thanks!
I followed this video and was successful. Wish it had been out there when I first got my National. Of course there’s probably only a couple of hundred people who own one,
Oh how I dreaded restringing my resonator until I discovered this video.... It works like a charm.........Thanks........
Absolutely perfect. You are a top man for giving such a good and informative guide to this tedious business on a slotted head guitar. Even I was able to do the job perfectly well by following your step by step exposition of this chore. Many thanks your effort is appreciated.
Thanks Lenny! This how-to Bench Talk is invaluable to new owners. Bravo!
Thank you Lenny! It's been a really useful video because I've changed right now for the first time all the string to my new Triolian. Thanks a lot!
This video was exactly what I was looking for.. Thank you greatly..
I have a Steel string acoustic with a slotted headstock and as a first time changing strings on this type, I needed a heads up.. So thank you! Great vid!
This was really helpful. Just picked up a used Martin 000-15s on eBay and was worried about stringing it correctly. But this makes it all sound easy. THANKS!
That's me as well
This video has been around for a while! But I still refer to it when restringing my '32 Duolian. Thanks!
This is a very good instructional video. It's easy to follow and well-made. Thank you so much for posting it!
Yet another excellent, very informative, and expertly 'produced' video! I just realized that the (Lord knows how old strings) on my (inherited) 1929 Square Neck Tri-Cone, were installed completely wrong. I will immediately be ordering a new set of 'John Pearse .013-.056 strings and install them according to your instructions. ......Thanks Lenny!
Thanks for the warning about losing an eye
Let me add one more vocie to the chorous. This has saved me so many headaches. Thanks, man.
HI, yes, you can tune it from the inside out. It's not as important when you actually are removing the cone, as you're not trying to keep it in the exact spot it was as I'm doing in this video. As for the strings, 13-56 is the standard set on all new National ResoPhonics, and pretty much the standard string set i've been using for years. They work great for a combo of slide and fingerstyle. Glad you enjoy these and thanks for the kind words.
Cheers, Lenny
excellent lenny , thanks much !
Hey man, thanks for putting the time into uploading this video.
Great tutorial, Brother of the almighty six string ..........
Thanks for the video. I have a Martin 000 15 sm and this was perfect
Great advice chief! I wish I saw this earlier!
Excellent video. Thanks for the help.
Thank you. This was very informative.
Best wishes
to you

Thank you. Very helpful.
this is super helpful, thanx !!
Very helpful - thanks
I guess im not gonna change my strings today after all.
Hi Lenny .
I've got a question about how to tune this kind of guitar:
Wouldn't it be safer to tune a resonator guitar from the "middle strings" to the "sides strings" ?
Considering the pressure caused by the lowest or highest string (when tuned first) on one side of the cone(s), to avoid any damage, I prefer to tune the strings from the middle to the sides (& to not leave all the old strings, but to change the strings1 by 1, to keep the cone[s] in the right spot, if possible). Am I wrong ?
Great info
Thanks a lot. Any suggestion who to wind up? Up or down? i saw different ways. Are there any (dis) advantages?
man im getting really frustrated ive tried and tried on the high e string and no mattar what it touches the wood slightly it looks like the right angle but it rests just hardly on the little groove on the beginning of the head stock. does it have to do with what side of the hole i put it through.
Does your string measuring trick work for standard guitar tune pegs no matter if hocky stick or 3 and 3 or 6 and 6?
But if you use roundcore strings can't you not cut them first?
Hey man is it just the same if its a tenor ukulele with a slotted headstock??
56? you sure do like thick strings! are they better for slide?
Funny the way u tune that dobro is how u tune a Floyd Rose tremelo with new strings without making urself crazy trying to tune the damn thing
Thanks Lenny! This how-to Bench Talk is invaluable to new owners. Bravo!
Great advice chief! I wish I saw this earlier!
