Introduction

There are many different styles of tuners and bridges, therefore, many different methods of removing the strings. This Starcaster has a string-through bridge and standard in-line tuners, so the string changing process is fairly simple.

    • Start by loosening the strings. This is done by turning the tuning knob until the string has lost tension.

    • Repeat this for all six strings on the guitar.

    • Be mindful of the string ends. They may be sharp and could puncture your skin.

    • It may be necessary to use pliers to remove string ends from the tuning peg.

    • After removing the strings from the tuning pegs, slide the strings through the bridge and out of the back of the guitar.

    • If the twists in the string ends are in the way, use wire cutters to snip them off. This will allow the heavier strings to pass through the bridge easier.

    When I cut 4-6 winding string, I have experience with the metal piece of the string entering my eyeball.

    It is recommended to wear goggles or cut with eyes closed.
