How to change electric guitar string: replacing the string. So now that you've taken out your old 6th string, you're ready to put back a new one. Feed the string through a hole in the body of your electric guitar, or the tail piece. As said earlier, it depends on your particular electric guitar. Get the ball end of your string in place. Now pull the string over the bridge, over the nut of the neck, and up past the tuning peg. Make sure it isn't slack. The new string is very long so you will have to cut some of it off. Don't cut off too much. Leave enough string for a few winds around the tuning peg. Two inches above the peg should work. Pull the string through the hole of the tuning peg and begin winding it. You need to keep tension on the string. It shouldn't be slack. To keep the tension, place your fingers under the string. With the guitar facing you, wind the tuning pegs on the left side clockwise. Wind those on the right side anticlockwise. How to change electric guitar string... keep reading. To speed up the winding process, place your string winder over the tuning peg and wind until the string becomes tight. All you have to do now is take off the peg winder and use the tuning peg to tune the string. Now that you've changed and tuned your sixth string, you can just repeat the process for all the other strings.
Since the strings are new, they can stretch and go out of tune easily. They need to break
in. You can speed up the breaking in process by stretching the string yourself. Give the
strings a few gentle pulls or do some spirited strumming. You will find yourself having to
tune your guitar quite a bit after replacing your strings. But after one or two days
everything should be okay.
