Members EdMan63 Posted September 9, 2006 Members Share Posted September 9, 2006 Hey board, I recently purchased a 62 AVRI and need to do a string change soon. I have no experience with these tuners. Anybody have a good method for working with these babies? Any help would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marauder6666 Posted September 9, 2006 Members Share Posted September 9, 2006 I assume these are the vintage ones with a hole down the middle? For these keys you will want to pre-cut the strings to achieve the proper length and the desired amount of winds. Pull the 6th string to the 4th key and cut it (make sure when you are pulling the strings that you are pulling the string taut). Pull the 5th string to the 3rd key and cut it. Pull the 4th string between the 2nd and 1st keys and cut it. Pull the 3rd string just about to the top of the headcap and cut it. Pull the 2nd string about a 1/2" (13 mm) past the headcap and cut it. Finally pull the 1st string 1 1/2" (38 mm) past the top of the headcap and cut it. Insert into the center hole in the tuning key, bend and crimp to a 90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
