Too Timid (to restring) in Seattle

lewischang88

Hi all (particularly Seattleites) ,
I have searched the forum about restringing gypsy jazz guitar and have seen the facebook Jean Barault restringing video. But being the first time I am still too timid to do it.
I am here in Seattle. Is there a guitar shop that knows how to do it? Thanks...

I was nervous about trying the style in the video, but once I did, it is all I use. It really isn't that difficult. Here is a link to a previous thread with some interesting comments from people much more knowledgeable than I, including Bob Holo: http://www.djangobooks.com/forum/discussion/13447/restringing-technique#latest

@lewischang88 if you stop be here at some point I can restring your guitar. Or, go to Dusty Strings in Fremont. They can as well. thanks!

@MichaelHorowitz you are too kind! No I won't be bothering you for this! I will bother you when I need new strings.
A gypsy jazz friend is going to teach me how to restring.

Well, go see Michael, try some cool guitars, buy a ton of strings from him and take him up on the offer while you're at it.

@Buco Today a gypsy jazz friend demonstrated how to restring for 2 strings and then I did the other 4. So, I have learnt how. I am going to order some stuff from Michael, though.
