    Humidipak tip: When they dry out, don't throw them away. Put 'em in a Tupperware with a separate vessel filled with distilled water (i.e. don't get the humidpaks wet), and close the Tupperware. Two weeks later....bam! Good as new.

      To add to this, you can also buy the same product literally called “humidifier packs”! They have ones that keep humidity at 55% at less than half the cost, and for more than double the quantity

    Although cutting the strings is certainly faster, I would take the time to take it off in one piece. You had to guess how long the string has to be to get a good amount of windings on the tuner. You ended up with one winding. I once had my guitar set-up by a luthier and he set it up perfectly with the right amount of wraps on each string. Now I take off the old strings and cut the new string to the same length. I end up with a nice clean headstock with the right amount of wraps around each tuning peg.

    I live in a slightly humid climate with the humidity ranging from 65-85 outside. I run a humidity controlled dehumidifier which brings the humidity down to 45-55%. I have two sensors to check at all times and alert me when it’s wrong. I don’t use the packs at all, I don’t generally need to add humidity just remove it. Because of this I can keep my guitar out of its case for easy access at anytime.

  • @mainzman7239
    @mainzman7239 5 лет назад +3

    Cool video Marty some good tips. The one thing I would question though is how you wind a new string on. The way you showed requires the string to go round the peg a few times to be secure and even then, unless you've overlapped at some point, it isn't guaranteed not to slip. Dave Doll from Martin Guitars shows a great way to do it, his method needs fewer wraps and is very secure.

    Hey Marty great vids! I'm planning on purchasing a Seagull S6 in the near future and the cost of the original is the same as the acoustic-electric model, so I was wondering if there was any real difference in sound when playing them normally? I don't currently have any need for the electrics, but since there's no price difference, should I just buy the acoustic-electric anyway just in case I have a need for the electrics at some point in the future?
