Hoh, this reminds me of my old guitar teacher... the dude was a freaking nightmare. I'd NEVER let him change strings on my guitar. I take off all strings about every 4th or 5th time I change strings, to clean the fretboard, but of course I loose the tension on them before I do that. My teacher did not. He just took cutting pliers and snapped them all of, in full tension..... I can't imagine the health of his guitars.
