Need New Guitar Strings? Broken String? Strings Rough?

Image
How do you know if you need new guitar strings? For Acoustic and Electric guitars Here are a couple of questions to answer: 1) Have you had the same strings on for over 2 months? 2) Are your strings rusty? 3) Are your strings rough? 4) Do your strings sound dull? 5) Had a string break recently? If you answered yes to any of the above, its probably time to replace your strings. Because of moisture on your fingers and in the atmosphere, strings corrode and rust over time and their ability to vibrate diminishes. This not only causes the sound to dull but even worse, the feel of the strings becomes rough and will hurt or even damage your fingers. Strings can also become brittle from too much vibration, just think of how a paper clip snaps if you twist it too much, the same happens to strings. If you play a lot, say for 2 hours a day every day, then you should look at changing your guitar strings every month. If you play less, but still strum most days, the max you shoul

How to Restring an Acoustic Guitar

Image
How to Restring an Acoustic Guitar 1) Removing the Old Strings 1) Firstly turn the machine heads clockwise to make the strings slack and then remove the strings from the tuning pegs. 2) At the bridge pin, push the string into the body of the guitar. Do not worry if you can not move the string as sometimes they can be tight. If so go to step 5. 3) You should be able to remove the bridge pins easily. You may need a Bridge Pin Puller to remove the bridge pins if they are tight. 4) Now carfully remove the old strings from the holes. Remember which hole the thickest string was in. Please recycle old guitar strings. 5) Use the bridge Pin puller to lever out the bridge pins if they are very stiff. Place the pins to one side. 2) Give the Guitar a Good Clean
