How Do You Restring A Classical Guitar?

0

If you’re accustomed to changing strings on an acoustic or electric guitar, a classical guitar is a whole different experience, and a lot harder to replace strings. First determine if the strings need to be changed. Classical strings don’t break as often as steel strings so you’re going to have to change them when the time comes. You can tell aurally if the strings don’t sound as bright. You can also see a buildup of black marks on the strings. Purchase nylon classical guitar strings. Steel strings can damage a classical guitar so never use steel strings. Coated strings sound better but are more expensive. Non-coated strings will sound fine as well if you’re on a budget. Get yourself a string winder-much easier than winding and unwinding by hand. Loosen the string that you want to replace. Important: only replace strings one at a time. Don’t remove every string at once as this can potentially warp the fretboard. Now, thread the string at the bridge. This is harder than an acoustic guit
