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!

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.

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.

Please remember, to save yourself some time, after inserting the string and the peg into the hole; keep the string taut at all times.

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.
