Can a guitar neck really warp if you remove all 6 strings at once? |
I am planning to do some work on my electric [replace the pickups, switch, etc], and I was planning on removing the strings to make the process easier.
But I’ve heard that removing all 6 strings at once will cause the guitar neck to warp.
SO, does anyone definitively know whether or not removing the strings will damage my guitar?
If it would, does anyone know how I could work on the guitar without removing the strings?

Won’t hurt a thing. Removing the strings takes the pressure off the neck. But when you restring it it goes right back to where it was. I always remove all y strings at once. It makes it easier to cleand and to work on.
Nah, it won’t warp it. You have to take them off (or just loosen them a lot) so you can open the pickguard and do the work.
When I change my strings, I take one string off at a time and replace it. That’s just what I’ve always done.
yeh the guy above me was right, doesnt make a difference, just when you remove the strings loosen them as much as possible
