If you have a floyd rose type bridge I have heard that the proper order to change the strings is b, d, g, a, high e, low e. It seems to spread the tension more evenly if you tune each string to pitch once you put it on. That way you dont spend hours of tuning your guitar back up to pitch. Once they are strectched they should stay in good tune even with big bends given you have a good tremelo with a trem-setter or something like that which can help your bridge have a more consistent neutral position.

One string at a time, usually starting with the High E string getting replaced first because it usually takes the longest to stretch out  |

So is lemon oil something you need to buy, or can it be made at home?

You can buy it from a music store or ebay is about $4.95 remember just clean the frettboard with it let it seat for a while use another soft rag an whipe out the whole frettboard don't use on maple necks cause they are already finished don't need it . |

My Jem 777 f.ex. You've got a Jem too?!  I thought that shredders don't use Jems  If you've got a guitar that has a fixed bridge (eg. Fender Stratocaster, Gibson Les Paul etc.) then it doesn't matter which string you remove first, but if you have a guitar with floating bridge (eg. Ibanez, Jackson etc.), then probably the best way is to change one string at a time, starting from low E. An important part of changing strings is also cleaning your guitar, because if your guitar's neck is dirty then your brand new strings will get dirty also. |

You may be right but it doesn't feel finished and it feels better after I oil it  |

Ive got a floyd rose so first I have to stabilize the bridge, then i take all the strings off in whatever order i feel like, then i usually replace them in this order, e g a b d e.
