Hello All. I recently picked up a pre-owned Cu24 and am going to change strings. I come from the percussion and bass world, and with respect to the latter I change one string at a time to maintain some of the tension on the neck. I do the same on my Epi Les Paul. All of the YT vids that I have seen (including the PRS vids) show guitar techs loosening the tuners and then cutting all strings and replacing them at the same time, rather than one at a time. I've got an SE 277 that I picked up earlier this year which will also be re-strung, and since this bridges a gap between bass and standard tuning I was (again) planning on the one-at-a-time procedure to maintain some neck tension. I needed to relieve the angle on that particular instrument to alleviate fret buzz, which makes me uneasy with cutting all at once. I'm a little perplexed by the all-at-once procedure. Just looking to increase my knowledge in this area; thanks!
