Thumbs up

When you change your strings you should also check the intonation and neck relief as these due change with new strings, changing humidity, etc. So if you really want it in tune (meaning it sounds great all the way up to the 24th fret) you should check this when changing strings.

But if you don’t have time, and you are using the same string type and gauge, a good trick is to change one string at a time instead of taking them all off and then restringing. Changing one at a time does not allow the neck to relax much and tends to keep things the same, in tune, etc.

Just my 2 cents.
