Changing Your Guitar Strings

Need Help CALL- 773-463-0212

Start with a simple step by step process for you to change your guitar
strings. It's real easy if you have a couple of tools and about 20 minutes.
Strings only last about 6 weeks so let's get to it

1.
Loosen up your strings at the tuners so there is no surprises when you take them off. A $1.00 peg winder can also lift your Pegs that hold the strings to the bridge.

This is what it looks like from the inside of the guitar. Lift out the peg
and the Ball End of the string will follow.

2.

Completely remove the strings from the tuner at the Head Stock of the guitar.

3.

Install new strings at the Bridge and shove the ball end in the correct hole.
Your first string is easier if it is the 6th or low E string. Install 6th to 1st in that order.

4.

Cut the string 2 inches from the correct tuner and put through the hole
in the Post or Shaft of the tuner/

5.

Wind them with a String Winder yet keep tension on the string so it does not slip out of the post.

6.

Tune them up to pitch with a quality chromatic tuner.Now stretch them and they will loosen up or go lower in pitch. Retune the string. This may take 3 or 4 times.

7.Your tuner should look like this in the end. If you break a string or put them on in the wrong order it's always a good thing to have 2 or 3 sets.

American Premium Strings are strings made in the U.S.A.
Look for these words on the package. Do not by strings that are marked up
to $20.00 a set. Strings cost $ 499.00 a set.
