    Gotta love new guitar day! Would you pick up this deal for the Annual Fender Play plan which includes the free Squier Strat pack?

    I've been a guitar tech for decades and worked as an authorized repair tech for multiple guitar manufacturers. I see some universal misconceptions involving tuners. These budget enclosed tuners don't 'slip' . Period.
    Several factors cause a guitar to fall out of tune but the quality of the tuner is rarely one of them. Here are the problems that do cause guitars to go out of tune.
    #1 strings simply are not stretched nearly enough. Each string needs over 8 lbs( 4 kilos) of tugging. To accomplish this literally grab a string at about the 12th fret and pick that 8 lb guitar up by that single string. That is 8 lbs of stretch. Few folks do this. Repeat for each string. The tuners are not slipping internally. But the ball is seating itself into the bridge and the wraps around the posts are becoming tight against each other. Also the string itself is stretching.
    #2 the strings need about 3 complete wraps around the post. This forces the wraps to ' lock' the first wrap that went into the hole. That is why the post is tapered in an hourglass shape.
    #3 the neck plate screws need to be very tight.
    If all three of these conditions are met that guitar will stay in tune. I have taken these budget Squiers out and played 4 hour sets on them to prove this to the un- believers.
    Truth is, guitar shops like selling aftermarket tuners rather than giving free lessons on how to make a guitar stay in tune.

    I ended up doing this deal. I played in high-school and had my whole kit stolen. I'm 30 now and this felt like a good way to step back into it 😁😁 also why isn't anybody talking about this deal!

    • @TheWorshipPortal
      @TheWorshipPortal  Год назад +4

      It’s not super short but definitely shorter than a normal strap. It’s also pretty cheap. I’d recommend a Levy’s leather strap over this. Even their $20 ones

      I believe having no tremolo on a lower priced guitar is a very good thing. The lower quality parts would just mean tuning stability issues non stop

    Now they’re giving away Squier Bullet telecasters. I ordered it yesterday. I don’t think it comes with anything, though. I’ll keep you posted. 😊
    Edit: received my Squier Bullet Telecaster today. It came with a loose A string. I’m a complete novice to guitar, but I was able to get it restringed. I thought it strings through the back, but it strings from the bottom of the bridge. This one was crafted in China and so far, I’m enjoying it.
