That's exactly how I do it.   Anthony Carey (Tony_carey) Senior Member Username: Tony_carey Post Number: 601 Registered: 10-2004 Posted From: 81.157.120.143 Posted on Monday, May 09, 2005 - 11:02 am:    I change them pretty regularly & with the aid of a capo & a string winder, it only takes about 15 minutes. I wind my inner strings away from the TRC Cole.   Frank Cairol (Stringbreaker) New member Username: Stringbreaker Post Number: 2 Registered: 05-2005 Posted From: 66.50.162.73 Posted on Monday, May 09, 2005 - 05:56 pm:    Thanks for the tips! I still will probably put off changing strings for the longest time possible tough. Any toughts on the bridge thing? I'm getting used to how close the strings feel by now but would like to know what you guys think!   Steve Carsello (Steverok) Intermediate Member Username: Steverok Post Number: 70 Registered: 03-2005 Posted From: 209.214.20.192 Posted on Monday, May 09, 2005 - 08:59 pm:    Can you post a picture of the string spacing at the nut ?   Frank Cairol (Stringbreaker) New member Username: Stringbreaker Post Number: 3 Registered: 05-2005 Posted From: 206.248.76.174 Posted on Wednesday, May 11, 2005 - 02:35 pm:    i'll try to post a picture later on, i'm sort of technologically challenged regarding pictures. One more newbie question...are the g strings tuned in unison or an octave apart?   Steve Carsello (Steverok) Intermediate Member Username: Steverok Post Number: 78 Registered: 03-2005 Posted From: 136.182.2.222 Posted on Wednesday, May 11, 2005 - 02:47 pm:    octave apart - they're different sizes !   paul wilczynski (Jingle_jangle) Senior Member Username: Jingle_jangle Post Number: 2013 Registered: 12-2004 Posted From: 63.193.9.8 Posted on Wednesday, May 11, 2005 - 07:32 pm:    Stringbreaker, indeed!

That has been discussed at length here, you can optimize the string spacing at the nut to suit your playing.
