Stringing a guitar (standard
tremolo or bridge)
- Loosen all 6 strings by unwinding at the tuning
pegs.
String Winder: String winders can
be handy tools for quickly loosening and tightening
strings. Make sure you turn them smoothly to avoid
string breakage.
Peg Tool: Attached to many string
winders is a peg tool that allows you to easily remove
the pegs from an acoustic guitar.
2 - Place the first string through the tremolo or
bridge
3-Put the new string through the tuning peg hole
and wrap around (see picture to the right)
 Peg Happiness: This shows one method
of wrapping your string when you string it.
4- Tighten slightly so that each string can
hold itself.
 
Top Left: This is where you feed
the strings into the guitar when you are replacing
them.
Top Right: On acoustics, you have to feed
it from inside the body of the guitar.
5- Repeat for all strings.
6-Tune to pitch (see how to tune below)
7-Stretch strings (see picture below)
String Stretching: Keep
stretching and retuning your strings until the guitar
stays in tune when you play it. The string was
superimposed with a red line.
