Reinstalling strings.

Recommended Posts

In the not to dim and distant future I’m going to be stripping my Squier down a bit. Copper shielding and a new set of pups and a lick of lemon oil.

I’m planning on reusing the strings. They are silk wrapped at top and tail flat wounds. And are practically new.

Any reason I shouldn’t put them back on once the work is done? 

Thank you.

No reason at all why you shouldn’t put your strings back on, I’ve restored and upgraded a few of my jazzes, and if you don’t alter your bridge your intonation should stay fairly true, and it’s worth checking the  pickup height when fitting the new ones , it does alter the sound .  I love an upgrade 🙂

Of course you can reuse strings. . . . . but after all that work and expense upgrading your bass, don't you think a new set of strings would cap it off nicely?

Change Flatwounds? Heresy. 😉
