What happens to the neck when all the strings come off? is it likely to alter shape? Is ther any way to reduce this risk?
Thanks
Roger
Hi Roger- I do not think there is any risk at all. After you put the strings back on the neck will go back to it’s “under string tension” condition. To reduce any worries you may have just replace one string at a time. -Billy
