How to use

Remove Old Strings — Carefully remove the old strings from your electric guitar one by one. Loosen each string by turning the tuning peg until slack, then unhook it from the bridge and headstock.
Install New Strings — Take one new D'Addario XL Nickel string (gauge 10-46) and thread it through the bridge. Secure the ball end, then thread the other end through the corresponding tuning post on the headstock. Leave some slack before tuning.
Tune and Stretch — Tune the new string to the desired pitch. Gently stretch the string by pulling it away from the fretboard a few times. Retune and repeat stretching until the string holds its pitch reliably.
Repeat and Restring — Repeat the installation and tuning process for all six strings. Once all strings are installed and tuned, play your guitar to settle them in, then re-tune as needed. Enjoy the fresh, bright tone!
