String change save ("and a beaut")
So I was changing the strings on my GS-Mini over the weekend and I put the strings on in reverse order. I didn’t notice until I was all the way done and picked up the guitar to strum it for the first time and – OH NO!
I have probably done somewhere around 15-20 restrings in my life and have never messed that up before. But the small win is that I was able to save the strings by loosening them up so I could pull the bridge pins out, then I unwrapped the string from the tuning peg restrung them in the right order.
Happy Wednesday TACFam!

LOL! Wow, that’s lucky it worked out! When I restring my guitars I usually cut the strings pretty short immediately after wrapping the tuning peg leaving about a half an inch of wire so I probably couldn’t reverse them.

That is funny – not laughing at you. I’ve had to remove a string or two over time, and I’m had to carefully do what you did and was able to get it back on. I think we all go into rote-mode sometimes, and when we “come to,” for lack of a better term, we beat ourselves up. I actually laugh at mys3lf a lot just so I don’t get too down on myself too much.
