Tips for restringing the NF53?

[MikeF]

For my NF53 owners out there, are any of you finding issues with keeping your strings under tension in the bridge while threading the string at the tuning machine? I feel like I need a third arm. How are you restringing yours?

Isn’t it the same bridge that’s in the Vela?

I found it quite easy to string personally.

Maybe I've gotten spoiled with locking tuners and forgotten my basics!

That’s ridiculous that the NF53 doesn’t have locking tuners.

I guess this is a case for the string lock method
