What Ron said.

I prefer to do this with the strings out of the way.

FWIW, you _can_ destring the entire treble at one time, if need be.  I 
usually just do a larger section (between the struts) at a time.

Part of the reason to do this is musical, wire ages.  Part of it is that CA 
glues can be pretty corrosive.  If the string isn't there, it isn't going 
to be affected.

Horace.
