How to Make Guitar Strings

Video Transcript

"In this clip we're going to talk about how to make a guitar string. It's not something you can do at home. A lot of work goes into making guitar strings. They're all different. Stainless steel, copper, nickel, nylon guitar strings for say like a classical guitar. These on this guitar are La Bella stainless steel, custom gage strings. Very bright, have a great sound. They don't last as long as say the nickel, but the sound is great. So if you just want a crisp sound that's going to last half the time but all the shows are playing brand new strings, stainless steel La Bella strings. Also say on this guitar here, it's another ESP custom shop guitar. This guitar here has the nickel wound. Different sound. Not as bright, but they're very quick, very fast for soloing. This guitar is a beast. Very heavy. Gets a little heavy after you're playing it for a while. This guitar, a little smaller, good live guitar. Very good as studio guitar. From the factory the machines are pretty big. They wrap the strings all custom handmade strings, ship them all over the world. Maybe we'll get you into the factory one day and take a look at how they're made."
