@@MTMabowels I like to use lemon oil to clean rosewood fretboards. Dunlop sell bottles of it that you can easily find at guitar shops. I've done a video on it too if you are interested: ruclips.net/video/_DVd14rjPPo/видео.html
@@dylannicklas7683 The numbers on the paper (things like .009 or just 9) are the thickness of each string. For example a string labelled as 32 would be 0.032 of an inch. You'll notice that some string sets are thicker than others. People tend to label a set of strings by the thickness of the high E string. For example; I like using Ernie Ball's 'Power Slinky' strings, which are a set of 11s. So this means that the high E string will be 0.011 of an inch. The whole set of Power Slinkys, or 11s are: low E 48, A 38, D 28, G 18p, B 14 and high E 11. The only other thing to mention is that you sometimes see a 'w' or a 'p' next to some strings. These are usually the middle thickness strings, usually the D and G strings. These signify if the string has a winding (w) or is plain (p). I hope this helps!
This video helped immensely , especially with the “top loaders”. Coming from an SG, it was strange at first but now I got the hang of it, it’s a lot easier
I have the same exact guitar with same colors. Great information. I like the string stretching info. I bought the guitar and it had 9 strings and it went out of tune easy. I put number 10 strings on it and stretched them and it takes longer for the guitar to get out of tune. Thanks man.
A good very useful tutorial. If I had one critique I would just say to slow down your speech a tad. It's nothing personal but when you're trying to teach people something, the delivery is just as important as knowledge. But still a very useful video! 👍
Thanks Phil, I'm glad you found my video helpful! Sorry about my fast speech, it's one of my biggest weaknesses which I'm trying to improve on. I appreciate the constructive criticism though :)
Phil Smart, I got around the 100 mph speech delivery by going to the RUclips control panel settings, then access the 'playback speed' section, and reduce it to 0.75 et voila!
We've both used power slinky, I really love those strings a lot, I've been struggling playing on thin strings like 9 to 10's and thank you so much for the video it was so very helpful💛
awesome video Adam! Thanks for the walkthrough and especially the part about how to determine where to trim the string length prior to feeding it through the machine heads!
Thanks Kyle :) It took a few restringings the first time I had a guitar with the vintage kluson style tuners to work out where it cut it. But that's what the internet is for. We do all the trial and error so you don't have to lol
Thank you very much! I didn't think it was necessary to cut the string before you try tuning it in. I almost saw red because it was tuning in the wrong way going right instead of left.
I'm glad I could help. There's no need to get angry at yourself when restringing a guitar. I find that restringing is a skill in itself, a skill which you get better at with time.
Omg thank you finally, I have an Ibanez Gio gr series with a T106 Tremolo Bridge, but I couldn’t find one with this same bridge even when I searched this up I was scared about taking off the backplate because I thought it would ruin the guitar and had no idea what was in there. This was identical to my bridge it has hsh pickups thank you man! Subbed
Hey Rick, I'm glad I was able to help! Taking the backplate off won't ruin the guitar. It's just there so you can adjust the springs for the vibrato. And even if something did go wrong, it wouldn't ruin the guitar, as guitars like Fender and Ibanez are designed to be easily adjusted, so it would be a fixable problem. I hope that puts your mind at ease. Also, thank you for subscribing, I really appreciate it :)
Rick great video... But now my tail piece is up and not laying flat! The strings are pulling the tail piece up in the air as though you are pushing down on the tremolo bar but it’s not in. So what holds the tailpiece down flat so it won’t rise up when I tighten the strings?
@@markbell1970 If you take off the back plate you may see some springs attached to the underside of the bridge/tailpiece. So check there and see if the springs are pulled if so then that may be part of ur problem. To fix it from there make sure nothing is blocking the wammy bar hole.
Just restringed for the 3rd time ever. I followed this tutorial the previous times and had no problems. However, on this occasion after putting the new strings on, I've found that after about the 6th fret on the high e string the sound becomes very muted and wont ring out correctly. Did I somehow mess up the action or something? Should I try adjust the truss rod? Any suggestions on how to fix this? All the other strings seem to be fine... cheers
That could be any number of issues. I would recommend taking it to a shop, they could probably work out the issue and get it fixed pretty quickly for you.
It sounds like the ball end of the string might have binded with the block. On a lot of cheaper strats they use a zinc block which can bind to the ball end. I'd recommend using a very thin screwdriver to dislodge and push the string end through the back of the block from the top. Good luck!
Next time I change my strings I need to do 2 or 3 wraps on the Low E string because I've noticed that it doesn't sound as thick sound that's what it is the more wraps the thicker sound you get. Do you just count 2 or 3 posts so for example if I were doing the Low E string I would count A string post and D String post and cut it and then I know how to string it. Does that give you 2 wraps
For the low E I tend to count 1 and a half posts, sometimes two. I have seen some people who insist on using all of the string provided for their E string. However, there seems to be three schools of thought on that: 1. Is the same as yours believing it gives you thicker tone. 2. Being that it will actually cause tuning stability issues, and 3. Being that it makes no difference. Personally I think there's nothing wrong with trying having another wrap around the string post, but I wouldn't push it, maybe just try having one more wrap every time you restring to see how it goes. Good luck!
I have a s/h guitar with a broken high E string. I followed the directions but cannot get 3 strings out. What is the best way? I have tried pushing from the front with a pointy tool and also using that same tool to try and lever out from the back. Still stuck!
Have you tried taking the backplate off? That's the white plastic thing with the 6 holes in it. As sometimes the ball end of the string gets caught there.
@@AdamThomasMusic yes I was following the instructions like on the video. If I hadn’t cut the strings I could still use them. I think I have to take the whole thing apart. I might take to a professional in case I damage it.
@@AdamThomasMusic if you watch this video I have followed the steps up to cutting the strings and pulling through. That is the problem , the three middle ones won’t pull through and are stuck. I am taking to a professional guitar mender as it all needs taking apart. Thanks for replying
It sounds like your bridge isn't balanced properly. If you have put all the strings on, and tune it and the bridge is too high, then you will need to tighten the springs in the back. Make sure to detune your strings first, tighten the springs a bit, then retune the strings to see how high the bridge is. Repeat this until you are happy.
Hi sir, i am planning on buying new strings for my affinity strat, how will i know wether the strings will fit, and has string guage got anything to do with it?
Guitar strings (for the most part) all come with the same ends, and are always made to be way longer than you would need, so that you can cut them down to size. For this reason, you can buy the same strings regardless of make or model of guitar. Even 1/2 or 3/4 size guitars can use the same strings as full sized guitars. As for the string gauge, any gauge can be put on any guitar, but if you're planning on changing to a far far heavier or lighter set than you had before, you will probably need the guitar to be set up for that gauge. As you have an affinity strat, it's probably set up to use 9 gauge strings, so I would recommend buying those for the guitar. You can't go wrong with any of the major string brands (Rotosound, Ernie Ball, D'Addario or Dunlop), and in my experience they all sound and feel pretty much the same as each other. If you're ever worried about something not going on your guitar, the best thing to do is to take the guitar to your local guitar shop, as they will be able to give you good recommendations. I hope this helped :)
@@AdamThomasMusic That helped a lot thanks so much, another quick question though how would i tell which string is E B G D A E will it explain at the back of the package? Just for reference i am getting the Elixir polyweb 09 42s
@@poggyyellow The strings are numbered by their size, but don't say which note they are for. So, you just need to look at the numbers, and as the number gets higher that correlates to the deeper note. So your strings should be something like: 9 e, 11 B, 16 G, 24 D, 32 A, 42 E.
It is possible, just more difficult. The strings that have been wrapped around the machine heads will have bent and molded themselves to keep that shape, so getting that through the bridge can be a bit of a headache. Once again, it is possible, but just more difficult.
@@jieunlee6470 Newer strings will sound 'brighter' whereas the older strings will sound 'duller'.

Great video! I've always used Less Paul and Jazzmaster type guitars... recently bought a Sire S7 Strat type guitar with locking tuners and had no idea how to change the strings lol! What if you break a string in the middle of a gig!? It would be a bit of a hasle to have to remove the plate at the back of the guitar! With Less Pauls it's so much quicker!
Thanks Chris, I'm glad you liked my video! Yeah, trying to restring a strat mid gig would be such a pain, that's why I usually gig with a spare guitar, just in case!
Then you have a hard tail strat. If you still have the six holes on the back you'll need to pass the strings through that. If you don't have that, then you'll find small holes on the back of the bridge itself where you can thread the strings. Good luck!
I use Ernie Ball Power Slinky strings which are 11 gauge strings. If this is your first time restringing a guitar then to find a similar gauge to what your guitar came with, you might want to get a set of 9 or 10 gauge strings instead. Brands I would recommend for good electric guitar strings are: Ernie Ball, Rotosound, D'Addario and Dunlop.
When I take my strings off the saddles are soooooo loose on the bridge/trem. Like if I tipped my guitar on it’s side they all fall to the left and some even flip over upside down. Why is this. It’s messed up the setup on my guitar. Thanks :)
By the sounds of things I would say that either the springs on the bridge saddles are worn out, or that the screw threads on the saddle have worn out. Whenever you take the strings off of a strat there is less tension on the bridge saddles, so they do tend to move around, but if their moving around has now messed up your intonation then you might want to take the guitar to a guitar shop or a luthier.
If one breaks due to user error; like accidentally tuning a note too high and breaking the string, or if you over bend a note and break the string shortly after restringing, then there isn't a need to replace all of the strings. However, if you've had the strings on for a while and you break one during normal guitar playing, then the strings are starting to get worn out and once one goes the others are usually on borrowed time too. That's why I replaced all of the strings.
Sounds like you have a hardtail strat then. That's fine, do you still have holes on the back of the guitar? If so, you can still thread the strings through that. If you don't have that, then you will probably find that you will need to run the strings though the back of the bridge plate on top of the guitar. Failing that, if you do have a vibrato system then it might be a Floyd Rose, in which case you will want to look up a tutorial for that, as that is a whole different kettle of fish! Good luck!
I've just enabled closed captions on this video, so RUclips will tell you what it thinks I'm saying (It doesn't always get it right, but it's close enough). I hope this helps you.
Thanks for the detailed explanation, feeling more confident about my first string change now.
Take your time and good luck! There's no need to rush when changing strings, and the more you do it the easier you'll find string changes to be.
Same here. Thanks Adam.
