• Remove Old Strings — Carefully remove the old strings from your electric guitar, one at a time, to avoid neck tension changes. Loosen each string at the tuning peg and then remove the ball end from the bridge.
• Install New Strings — Thread the new strings through the bridge and tailpiece. For the wound strings, feed the ball end into the bridge and secure it. For plain strings, feed them through the bridge and then through the tuning post.
• Tune and Stretch — Bring each string up to pitch slowly. Once tuned, gently stretch each string by pulling it away from the fretboard. Retune as needed. Repeat stretching and tuning until the strings hold pitch reliably.
• Trim Excess String — After tuning and stretching, trim any excess string length from the tuning pegs to prevent interference with playing or other strings. Ensure a clean cut close to the peg.
