CHANGING STRINGS

Removing Old Strings:

To remove a guitar string, ﬁnd the tuning peg and tuning machine that the string is attached to. Loosen

the string by winding the tuning peg until the string has no tension.

Continue to wind the string loose until the string can be pulled loose from the top. The strings can be

pulled out via the bridge at the bottom of the guitar.

If you do not wish to use the old string again, you can cut the string near the middle of the strings via

wire cutters. If you choose to do this, be careful and hold the string securely next to the cut;

otherwise, the string will pop up and can potentially harm you.

Installing New Strings:

Remove the bridge pin of your guitar. Bridge pins can stick to the guitar, and may take some time to

get o ; the edge of a peg winder (available at any local music store) can be used to help. Locate the

proper string to replace your old string. Then, from the end of the string that does NOT have a ball at

the end, feed the string through the bridge via the open hole exposed by removing the pin. Then, press

the bridge pin back into place gently with the slot facing forward, and while holding your ﬁnger on the

pin, run the string through until the ball on the end of the string is ﬂush to the bottom of the pin.

Begin to tune the string by winding the tuning peg until the desired sound is produced. After

reaching the desired tone, pull the string lightly. The string will go slightly out of tune. Readjust the

tuning peg until receiving the desired tone again. Repeat the process a few more times. This will

ensure that your string will stay in tune while playing.

You may cut o the excess string, but it is important to leave some excess still attached (about ¼-1

inch) in case the guitar string needs to be restrung again. Remember, it is easy to cut more o later,

but impossible to add string back.

Secure the string to the headstock via the

tuning machine. To do so, make sure the

eye/hole of the tuning machine is parallel to the

neck/headstock of the guitar. Feed the string

through the eye of the tuning machine and pull

the string fairly taut. The string should have a

bit of slack (about 1-2 inches).

While holding the string taut, secure it to the

tuning machine by turning the corresponding

tuning peg to wrap the string around. For extra

security, route the string through itself on the

initial wrap around (see diagram).

- For treble strings (G,B,E), wind the strings

clockwise. For bass strings (E, A, D), wind the

strings counter-clockwise.
