These methods are geared towards Telecasters with split-shaft tuners and 3-saddle bridges. These methods were learned from gurus like Joe Glaser, Dan Erlewine, and Lindy Fralin, and during my tenure as Brad Paisley's guitar tech.  I cover the following:1. Importance of winding as little string as possible on the tuner shafts.2. How to lock unwound strings in place on vintage split-shaft tuners.3. How to fix a saddle with a burr, causing the "sitar' effect.4. Why you should be conservative with nut lubricant.5. How to stretch the strings to promote tuning stability.Amazon affiliate link for D'Addario NYXL 10-46 strings https://amzn.to/3uD1WnZ#askzac #guitartech #telecasterSupport the show
