Is there any trick to stringing this type of electric guitar?
Question:
I've had a Samick Greg Bennett FA2 for a few years and my dad has always helped me restring it. I haven't played in a long time and am restringing it for myself for a change, and was wondering if there was any trick to utilizing the string through body bridge (i.e. tension). Thanks!
Answer: No tricks involved
You just insert the strings at the backside of the guitar and pull them all the way up though the bridge saddles. Personally I insert all strings at once, but you may perhaps do one at the time. Just make sure you insert the right string in the right place...
From there, just wind the strings around the corresponding tuning posts and tune up (an inexpensive string winder is very handy). Do make sure you fasten the strings sufficiently at the post - there are videos on youtube explaining how to do this properly (do a search there).
If you go up or down in string gauge (thickness), you may perhaps need to have the neck truss rod adjusted ever so slightly. This is a very quick and easy fix for anyone with a little knowledge. However, you do not want to do this yourself until you know precisely what you're doing.
Good luck with your playing!

Learning how to change a guitar string is a complicated task that can intimidate most people, if you want to play guitar this is something you must master. At concerts there is usually someone dedicated to changing strings between songs. This seems like an amazing feat, but if they can do it, you can also learn how to change a guitar string quickly.
As with any other aspect of playing a musical instrument, being able to change guitar strings, has its rules. Firstly, make sure you do one at a time, and when loosening the pegs, do so carefully. Knowing how to change a guitar string, doesn't mean just cutting the string, or yanking it, as this will most certainly lead to the injury of yourself or a damaged guitar. You should then loosen the end pegs, which may seem stubborn, but do not try to ply them out in agitation, you will damage them, and then you're stuck. Be gentle to your guitar, and then the process of how to change a guitar string will be a breeze. After the long process of being careful and making certain of things and you have the string out, you are now ready to move on to the next one. As said before do not be in any sort of rush, this is not a procedure that can be hurried. It's like a doctor working on his patient. Your guitar was hurt (the strings were damaged) and you are the doctor needing to give it new life. If you are not careful you might end up shortening the life of your guitar. And always remember never to use furniture polish.
So, when all old, damaged strings are out, you can start unwrapping the new ones. For easy stringing be sure to buy the strings that come with the color coded knobs on the end, as this lets you know which notes each string plays. If you are still unsure, there are plenty stores that sell a how to change a guitar string manual, though, it will most likely be a maintenance manual.
Now that you've figured out how to change a guitar string and which string goes into which hole, you can start threading them through one at a time. Start with putting the knob end of the string into the peg hole and reinserting the peg. Please remember, to save yourself some time, after inserting the string and the peg into the hole; keep the string taut at all times. After you have done this with one, you are ready to insert the other end of the string into the tuning peg. Remember that you want to tighten the tuning peg, always, to the right. Once you are happy with the first one, you can move on to the second and then the third, then the fourth and so on, until your guitar is ready for another jamming session. All the while, always keep in mind that the best and easiest way to change a guitar string lies in a very cool head. Keep your cool and like, with everything in life you will do it with professional ease. Learning how to change a guitar string is an art on its own, so a professional musician is a person who is good at all sorts of art forms. Can you call yourself a pro?
