Hi man, thanks I'm glad you liked it!
You can do both ways really. You can't damage the neck by taking of all the strings at once. The neck is not that brake-able. I prefer to take of all my strings because, as you say, you can then clean the fretboard more easily. Of course the neck does gets straighter because there is no tension, but after you put the string on, in some time (depending on the wood and construction off course) the neck is returned in its tensed up position. With mine guitar it takes about 24 hours to get to default position. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I didn't quite understand everything man, but I think it is safe to say that you can do all strings at once. It will not damage the neck in any way. The neck is not a fixed thing on the other hand. It is a piece of wood and it curves naturally. So some time is needed in order to settle in with tension from new strings. There is no "standard" time, and it depends on many factor. On my guitar it's around 24 hours.

There is no "standard" time, and it depends on many factor. On my guitar it's around 24 hours. i'm got a new string and i'm gonna restring the quitar again..actualy ok i'm gonna take all of them down. actualy what i'm trying to explain my last reply is problem what i'm have everytime when i'm restring the quitar..the string is buzzing too mutch..so i'm dont know why if the problem is me .... or maybe bad and cheap neck or something else maybe like you say..i'm have to wait until next day to decide if the neck is ok but what is important probaly before i'm put new set of string on my esp is have the neck on good bow position on esp manual they recomendet this-> Checking Neck Bow Correct truss rod adjustment is determined by the amount of bow or relief that is in the neck. To check neck bow, hold your guitar in playing position and check the low E and high E strings using the following method (Figure 7). With your fretting hand, hold down the string at the first fret. Now with your picking hand thumb, fret the same string at the area where the neck joins the body (around 16th fret). While holding both sections of the string in place, stretch your index finger of your picking hand as far as possible into the middle area of the neck (frets 7-9) and tap the string down to the frets. The amount of distance that the string is travelling to reach the frets is the amount of bow that is in the neck (you may also use feeler gauges to measure this distance, but it’s not necessary). It is desirable to have a slight amount of bow, but not too much. About .3 mm - .5 mm (.010” - .020”) is usually plenty of bow. Having too much bow will cause excessive buzzing in the center area of the neck and will cause the strings to be farther it's there some more easy way to check  it???actualy i'm wana be sure before i'm put those new set of string{the neck is in good position} not underbow or backbow actauly here is all manual for esp quitar http://www.espguitars.com/ESP_Owners_Manual.pdf i'm just wana try to do the adjustment by my self..becouse is nor realy fun to take the quitar to technician guy every each changing of string..becouse there will be like 3 adjustment and i'm give them almost more money like is price for the quitar if i'm understant this good when i'm be sure about my neck position and i'm will be have still buzzing then probaly i'm have to work on bridge put the bridge up or down?? right. soryy for beginer question..actualy if you don't got me..don't worry thats not your fault but my english Thanks Ivan anyway for previous respond

Hi, kahall. With floating bridge (floyd-rose) it is possible to restring all at once if you place something to stop the bridge from going all the way down.
But it is waaaay simpler to do it one string at a time. People who use floyd-rose will likely give the advice to do it one at a time. But for fixed bridge just do the way you like it. This post has been edited by Gus: Apr 8 2008, 05:06 PM -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video

I agree, if you feel that doing one string at a time is more comfortable and better, by all means do it. It is my advice to do as you think it is best.
