  • In this video, I will be sharing how I change guitar strings :D You can follow along and save on the cost of sending in to a guitar shop to change for you.
    Step 1: Loosen the strings
    Step 2: Remove the bridge pins
    Step 3: Remove the string ends from the pin holes
    Step 4: Remove the strings from tuning head
    *Be careful not to cut / poke yourself as strings are sharp at the tuning head
    Step 5: Polish and clean / wipe the guitar body
    Step 6: Clean and condition the fretboard with Lemon Oil
    Step 7: Put on a set of Fresh New Strings
    Take note: Choose a string gauge/ thickness most suitable for yourself
    12 gauge is recommended, but it is painful for beginners
    So it's better to get thinner strings for beginners as it is easier to press
    Of course, lighter strings will not sound as good/loud as the thicker ones
    But the learning journey would definitely be less painful
    8th step: Insert the new string ends into the pin holes
    And insert the bridge pins to secure the strings
    Pull the string and feel the catch, or else the pins will fly out
    9th step: Insert the strings into the tuning heads
    Measure one tuning head distance and give the string that amount of slack
    We want to give the strings sufficient coils or else it will snap easily
    Make one loop on the tuning head before tuning the pegs
    Turn the tuning peg in Anti Clockwise direction
    Do the same for the following strings
    Take note: The strings for GBE is on the other side so its loop is in another direction, ensure the strings are directed inwards, or else you will destroy the string/guitar
    Personally, i would give more slack for the thinner strings, measuring 1.5 to 2 machine heads, as the thinner strings are easier to snap we need to give them more coils. Same as the other side, looking at the pegs, turn the tuning pegs in Anti Clockwise direction
    10th step: Tune the strings top to bottom EADGBE
    Last step: Cut away the excess strings
    Enjoy ! :)
